Finally a free minute post KY visit

so, we spent a wonderful week in KY last week!! wahoo!! i managed to only get a couple of pictures...having too much fun to pull out the camera i guess. (or i might just be a ditz...who knows?) While we were there we celebrated Connor's 6 month "half birthday"! I can't hardly believe that it has been half a year since the birth of this child. I honestly can't hardly remember what life was like before our little Connor. I feel like being his mommy is exactly what i have been supposed to be doing my whole life. We must have been very bored before his birth! hah! The world is a new place when you get to see it through the eyes of a baby. All things are wonderful and new..and he reminds me of that daily!
Connor had his 6 months check up and shots tuesday. He is a whoppin 21 lbs and 6 oz at 27.25 inches long. This means that in what was actually just short of 6 weeks, he grew 1 and a quarter inches and gained almost a pound and a half...let's say he is well fed. The doctor was pleased with his growth and development and raved about his temperment. Said he was one of the happiest (and grabbiest) babies she had seen in a while! So, back in 4 weeks for the second part of his flu shot, and then we're in the clear till January as far as doctor's are concerned!
TJ is in the home stretch of training. They should graduate from this current class the first week in Nov. There have been a few bumps of late, but he's rolling with the punches and working hard to make the improvements he needs. He is such a hard worker...and also a great dad to Connor. Seeing them together is the favorite part of my day!
speaking of Connor..he is up from his nap..i should go get him...here's a couple pics from the last two weeks...enjoy!


the teeth!!!

why not do 3 in 3 days?!

so, we have been waiting and waiting for Connor to start teething. I mean, we've had the drool, we've had the chewing...for months now...but last week we started to notice that one of his top teeth might be getting ready to come in. It was swollen and you could feel the tooth underneath!@ how exciting...so we continued to wait. WEll, tuesday morning, we went on base for a breifing that wives could attend with the guys...and TJ was letting Connor chew on his finger, and he announced "ouch! we have a tooth!" so i pull back the top lip and say "umm..NO we dont!!" and he said "no dear, on the bottom..." and sure enough there was a bottom tooth showing! i didnt even know it was coming!! then wednesday morning, the top tooth made its appearance...fun fun...two teeth in two days..this kid does it rough and tough... So i was glad that was all over...but was still dealing with serious crankiness and the pooing (OH the pooing!) which of course leads to diaper rash...yay! anyway.. so last night TJ got home late and was fiddling around with Connor and said "wow, that top tooth is really coming in fast, and then there's the bottom one....i mean bottom TWO?!?!?!" The second bottom tooth was in too! that makes 3 teeth in 3 days! YIKES! i mean seriously people?!?! couldnt we just get one under our belt before we started doing multiples?!?! So anyway, it's been an interesting week of drool, poo, lots of diapers and diaper rash creams, tears, laughs, and amazement at how brave this little boy is..because through it all, he is still managing to smile and laugh and be basically the happy little boy he always is when most adults would be crying in the corner (that definitely includes ME!)
soo...it's day 4....we'll see what POPS UP today!! Wish us luck!
