Sleep is Overrated!!

Believe it or not, I thought that in college...but then I became a mom!!!  Lately Connor has decided that 6:00am is the new 7:00am.  For the past 3 or 4 weeks, he has not slept past 6:15, sometimes rising as early as 5:45!!  And on some days he has chosen to take very short naps, or none at all.  So that makes this 3rd trimester Mama a bit tired these days.  I guess God is just getting me ready!

This past weekend we went to San Antonio to help MeMaw after her surgery.  She took us to a place called Incredible Pizza, which is like a Dave & Busters for kids.  We bought a game card for Connor to ride a few rides in the "Tiny Tots" area, but they scared him so that didn't last long.  Since we still had a couple of dollars left on the card, we tried to find something to use it on.  Connor saw the big Wheel of Fortune game and wanted to check it out.   So I swiped the card, showed him how to pull the lever and hit the stop button.  Well as soon as he hit stop, all the lights and sounds on the game started going off.  Neither of us had any idea what was going on, but about a second later we had a crowd around us cheering because Connor hit the JACKPOT!!!  He won 250 tickets!!  He was clapping and saying "yea" just because everyone else was, but of course had no clue as to what just happened.  So what does 250 tickets get a 19  month old boy...

Three blow up balls, of course!

Showing off his tickets. People were high 5-ing him!

Holding onto the horse

On a different subject, my sweet little boy has definitely began showing serious signs of toddlerhood.  Don't get me wrong, for the most part he his still sweet but when he decides NO he does not want to do something, he'll let you know.  Check out the expression here as he stomps off:

Thankfully, though, we still see more of these:
