The weather here in Vegas has really been getting nice! It's probably going to start getting a little too hot here soon, but that's what the pool is for!! =)
Connor is growing up nicely!! And he's growing up quick for sure!! Yesterday was his 9 month well baby check up! He is now 20 lbs 2 oz. and 27 1/2 inches long!! They say that he is in the 25%-50% for both height and weight, but his head is 46 cm which makes him in the 75th percentile!!! Bigger head for a bigger brain! Our little smarty pants! Lol.
He has officially been a crawler for a few months now and does a bit of walking with his walker. He started pulling himself up onto EVERYTHING not too long after the crawling! There are a few times now that he stands up on something and can let go for a few seconds by himself! It's so crazy how big he is getting!! I bet he'll be walking before his 1st birthday!! Although I'm not sure that Richie and I are quite ready for that yet. It amazes me more and more everyday how much more he interacts with us and is now learning all sorts of different sounds. His first was "ba ba" or "buh Buh", which makes us laugh since we always call him "Bubba". Next he started making the "ma ma" sound, which of course I instantly fell in love with!! He hasn;t associated the sound with me yet, but it'll be no time!! And now his newest one is "da da", which is super cute!! I can't wait until he starts saying "mama" and "dada" and starts recognizing which one is which!! Connor pretty much eats everything now... of course the typical cow's milk, peanut butter, nuts, citrus, honey, ect. are exceptions, but not too much longer! And all I can say is yay for when he's off of the formula! His favorites are pineapples, apples, pancakes, yogurt, spaghetti, and he loves his juice!! It's crazy how he eats the same things we do now, for the most part at least. Like I said, he's growing up so fast! Now that the weather is getting nicer, we're excited to be outside more! At least while it's not 115 degrees!! And the pool is warming up nicely so that our little man can start playing in it!
It has been a busy couple of months with all sorts of things going on... one of my favorites.. my birthday!! Lol. Rich and I took an "early birthday" trip to Huntington Beach with our friends Justin and Bethany for a long weekend... it was gorgeous!! I had never been and loved it! I had to face the fact that I in fact am getting old (HA!) at 28 and can't party like I used to!! But we had a great dinner at RA Sushi, great lunch at Fred's Mexican Cafe, and a wonderful day of sun bathing at the beach!! I wish we could do that every weekend!!
The following weekend I had to leave for a business trip to San Diego, believe me there are worse places for a business trip!! Haha! My Dad and I left on my birthday and I really wished my boys would have come with me. They were invited, but having Connor in a hotel room while I was at meetings all day didn't really sound appealing to anyone. Although when I got to the hotel, Sand Diego Hilton Resort and Spa and sent pics to Richie, I think he wished he would have gone too!! The hotel was right on Mission Bay and the room was incredible with a view of the bay and my own personal firepit on the patio! It was nice to get to spend some one-on-one time with my Dad though... and unfortunately, meetings and training were our main reasons for being there. Rich and I have already talked about going back everntually though!!
Well, the next few months are filled with plenty of fun too!! Our nephew Bryce's 1st birthday, then Connor and I are headed to Ohio for my little sis' HS graduation and Rich is going fishing and camping with his brother and some friends that weekend, so we will both be having some fun! Then soon enough our little man's FIRST BIRTHDAY!! Wow, I can't believe we're already talking about 1 whole year going by since our little miracle came into our life!!! I have a feeling it's just going to keep going faster and faster!!
Well, I'm sure I've written enough for awhile, but I'll try to keep up with this better so that I'm not trying to catch up every time! In the meantime, here are some pictures from the last fews months... catch you all soon! It's going to be a good summer!!! Love you all!! XOXO
