What Happens When...

You take a Baylor Bear...


And mix it with an Aggie?

Why you get a BAGGIE of course!

Our poor mismatched son wore green on top to support the Bears and maroon on bottom to support Aggies. Thankfully Mimi watched Connor during the game so Josh, Papa Jud and I could attend the game. Afterwards, all the kiddos enjoyed tailgating.

I don't think these boys are ready to be receivers just yet. Notice the football coming toward Will and Connor and neither is looking!
A new generation of tailgaters!

In this next picture, Dede told all the kids to say "Gig 'Em" and Connor, being the true Baylor Bear that he is, ducked out of the picture!! That a boy!! ;)

More Fun with Chocolate

I gave Connor chocolate pudding again last night for dessert and once again, he thoroughly enjoyed it. I gave him a spoon to use but after turning around for just one second (doesn't it always just take a second?!?) he had submerged his whole hand into the pudding. He then proceeded to make art out of it on the high chair.

YUM!!! We're just getting started.

Nice...

Just what I wanted, a big hug with those chocolate hands!

He's starting to wind down...

He's finally signing "all done."

It was straight to bath time after this!!

Sweetberry Farms

Friday morning we got up and headed to Sweetberry Farms in Marble Falls. There weren't many people there (until 4 bus loads of school kids arrived) so Connor was able to run all over the place. He said the word "punkey" (pumpkin) a million times, enjoyed petting the goats (again so fearless!!) and playing hide and seek with Daddy in the hay.

He got to pump the water and watch the "punkeys" float down

Here I am!!

Lovin those goats

He found a rotten pumpkin!!

He took off running into the crops and Josh had to chase after him.

There was an old boat there holding pumpkins and of course Connor had to inspect every part of that boat!!

He loved riding the tractor; just look at that expression! So excited!!

Bye Dad!

The End

Over Halfway There!!

If you'll notice my pregnancy ticker on the right, you will see that I have surpassed the halfway mark--yea! Since I went past the 40 week mark with Connor, I can safely say that I am probably JUST halfway there. Much like my first pregnancy, this one has been pretty uneventful, which I'm definitely not complaining about. Other than being tired, I have not had any sickness, nausea, etc. I don't crave anything nor does any food gross me out. Does that mean I'm having another boy?? We'll see come March, but if I was a betting person, I'd bet yes. I went to the doctor last week and all is well. I've gained 10 lbs and the nurse said most people have gained closer to 20 lbs at this point, so that made me feel good! :)
Here are some beauty pictures of me at 21 weeks. I just stepped out the shower so forgive the look.

Doing the typical pregnancy pose



On another note, day 2 of Mother's Day Out went well! I did leave him crying a bit but the director called me after an hour and a half and said he was doing fine. He ended up staying the whole day -- yea!! He got tired toward the end and I guess was a little fussy off and on, but she said mostly, he was happy. For those of you who send a little one off to MDO, I need some good lunch ideas. He hasn't completely mastered a fork or spoon (without food getting everywhere) and there is no refrigerator or microwave. SO, last week I packed cheese, crackers, turkey and fruit. Any ideas???

Oh and I can't forget to say WAY TO GO BEARS!!!!

Mmm, Mmm, Good

When Connor is eating and we ask him if something is good he shakes his head and says "Mmm, Mmm." Last night I gave him some sugar free pudding and let him feed himself. Needless to say, he enjoyed it:





Every time we go to San Antonio, MaMaw whips up a huge meal (including dessert) all from scratch. I have never tried anything of hers I didn't like. Connor loves watching us in the kitchen so on Friday he got to help MaMaw with the cookies:



Trying out the finished product, and yes it was Mmm, Mmm good!


I wish I had gotten a picture of him checking on the cookies. He kept walking over to the oven and squatting down to watch them bake.

First Day of School

Today Connor started Mother's Day Out. This was big considering Connor is with me 24/7!! I figure with baby #2 coming soon this will be a good time for me to schedule doctor's appointments and also take those much needed naps come 3rd trimester.

Connor loves kids and plays very well with them. But when he realized Momma was not longer there, it wasn't good. He cried off and on all morning and the director called and suggested I pick him up early. So instead of staying from 9-1, he checked out at 11:00. When I got there, he had cried himself to sleep. :( With him being a summer baby, he is the youngest in the class. A few of the kiddos are already 2 and Connor is just 16 months. We're going to try again on Thursday but I'm already dreading having to leave him crying at the door.

As soon as we got back home he was laughing and running all over the house...back to his normal self. So I hope he adjusts soon. Here are some pics of his first day:
That big bag is his lunch! Too bad he didn't stay long enough to eat it!


I thought this was cute. Lunchables makes these mini sizes for kids: Mini crackers, turkey and cheese. Perfect for Conman's lunch.


And on a sad note, Josh lost his grandfather on Thursday. Paw Paw will be missed.
