So today is Connor's five month "birthday" so to speak. He really amazes me everyday. This week was fun filled...TJ has been out in the field all week, so it's just been the little man and me. We both decided it would be fun to have a cold, so the first part of the week, when Connor was asleep, MOMMY WAS ASLEEP!! so we didnt get a whole lot done, oh well. But we're feeling better now..both of us. At his last check up, the doctor told me that I was to have Connor on some solids by his next appointment (6 month check up) So, I tried solids again. It's been about a month since we tried it the first time..and what a difference it made! He now opens his mouth when he sees the spoon coming..and actually seems to be swallowing it! What a concept. I have my proof by extra EXTRA stinky diapers now..so much for the sweet smelling poo of the breastfed baby..we're on to the real stuff now! hah! So we are now getting a small bowl of rice cereal and this week, a small portion of sweet potatoes. Now, I've never met a sweet potato i liked, regardless of my mother's intense search for a good recipe, bless her heart. So, although I consider this appreciation for sweet potatoes as treason..I will forgive my son for going to the darkside...whatever makes him happy is fine with me! Also in the Connor news this week, is two short stints on his knees and elbows...with his little (well..) belly off the floor. He didnt really try to GO anywhere..but this scares me..crawling is definitely not far off..although he seems to have figured out how to roll around very well..and gets angry when things get in his way..you know, like walls and furniture! and he has alreayd mastered trying to clear DVDs off the bottom shelf of the TV stand...lovely! We are REALLY in for it!
On the parent side, TJ should find out his MOS in the next couple weeks. Which will give us some indication for a time frame of when and where we will be headed next. I'm looking forward to that. Although we have quickly found a great church family here, and I will be sad to go. If TJ gets infantry, we'll get to stay a few more months..so maybe that will be good. Whatever God wants though..He's got it under control! I'm glad somebody does! haha! And for me..been keeping busy getting stuff together for a flea market this weekend..so excited to get rid of some stuff.and i'm hoping to make enough money to go to Ikea and get some stuff i want! i love that store! I've also been singing and playing the guitar at church..and although i get nervous..it's getting easier..and i'm playing a beautiful song this weekend..so wish me luck.. ok..well that was long! so sorry!! here are the pics for the week! love you all!
