Our Little Family: March 2011

Saturday, March 19, 2011

Hello all....

Hello everyone! All is well here. Connor is just growing growing and growing. The little guy will be four months on Monday!! Where does the time go? He is getting really good at sitting up as long as we support him. Connor can now roll from his back to his tummy. He also loves to play with his toys, he loves his stuffed octopus rattle and the ball that is in the picture below. One of his favorite things to do is watch is Baby Einstein movies. He also loves to go for walks now that the weather is warming up. In a few days we are going to start Connor on food, well rice cereal. I think that there is also a trip to the Zoo this weekend if the weather holds!!

We were able to see Sean this past Wednesday. (Christian's brother) He came into Denver for the night so we went up and had dinner with him. It is so great that Connor is able to see his family. We had a really nice time. We have a lot coming up in the next few months Connor gets to meet his Great Grandpa Riley at the end of March! Connor’s Christening is in June and his Great Grandparents, Grand Memere and Grand Pepere as well as Great Grandma Dora will be there. All of the Grandparent and Aunt and Uncles will be here to, we are really excited. In July we are going to have to say goodbye to Christian, he is going to Korea for the next year. As sad as we are we are so happy for the time that we have had as a family. Connor and I will miss him lots!! But I am sure the next year will fly by. We are proud of the great job Daddy does. Well of course there are tons of pictures below, and we will keep you updated. We love you all.

March is here!

March is here which means spring is around the corner. It has been a rather mild winter but we are ready to get outside and play. We have made our yearly yard list. (the thing we need to get accomplished in the yard this summer) Our backyard seems to be a never ending project! But the weather here is so great in the spring/summer. Although we wrangled my dad and Christian brother last year to help with the hot tub and the patio Christian is happy that his worker is back from pregnancy leave!! Last year I was not able to do much due to the fact I was busy growing Connor!! Speaking of Connor he is doing great. He has become a pro at rolling over (tummy to back). He can roll to his left or his right now. This can make for an interesting time when you try to change his diaper.

Speaking of diapers we have fully moved to cloth. OK, I am only going to rant about the positive of cloth diapers once. 1. They make his bottom look so so cute. He has animal prints and all different colors. 2. He has not had diaper rash since switching 3. I don't have to buy diapers anymore or wipes (we use cloth wipes) 4. Believe it our not they don't smell as much as disposable diapers 4. Of course I don't throw them away so there is the environmental side! 5. Yes you have to wash them but I promise they are not that bad, even Christian can do it...even the poopy one!!

Anyways, Connor talks non-stop well babbles, sometime at the top of his lungs. He also enjoys playing with his toys now, all by himself. Since he has started entertaining himself I am actually getting some stuff done around the house. This weekend Connor also attended his first party at Chuck E Cheese. He also got a high chair, he loves to sit in it. We are going to be starting on rice cereal in the next month or so. So he is getting use to sitting at the table with us.Life is busy busy busy but we are loving it. Well of course there are pictures below. Love you all!!
