7 months.

Connor is seven months old today! So sad it's going so fast, but he's SO much fun right now. Busy...but fun :) I didn't even take any pictures today, bad mom, I know. But, on an unrelated topic, I DID go to the new Walgreens today. Sad that this excites me...but it will be SO nice having it so close (2 blocks from work). North Mankato really doesn't have much, so it'll be a hit I'm sure (parking lot has been packed since it opened).

So that's about all. I'm worried because it's halftime of the Monday Night Football game already, and I need 32 more points from the two people Iwe have playing. It's not looking good.

card room in use

The card room, aka 'man cave' is seeing it's first action tonight. Crappy weather = Thursday night cards.

I kind of had to 'sneak' a quick picture. As if they willingly would have posed for me.

more crawling/swimming/pulling/etc

Some more crawling (or whatever you want to call it) action. Getting more 'graceful' by the day :)

I suppose this means I should start baby proofing.

all night?

Neither one of us got up last night to plug Connor back in...and we even had the monitor on, however, when I went and peeked this morning he is laying the short way in the crib. Normally, he doesn't move while he's 'sleeping'...so who knows what happened. Either way, I'm pretty disappointed I'm still up at 6 right now.

Tonight starts the seasons of winter volleyball. Wednesday nights in Mankato (well, even more specifically, every game will be held in North Mankato which is awesome) and then Friday nights in Nicollet. Both leagues should be pretty competitive, which is fun.

Okay, I should go shower before little man wakes up.

enough already!

Sorry for the bazillion pictures. That's what happens when Mary comes down :) I didn't take the time to edit, crop, or anything to any of them, sorry! Trying to sort thru them all and find one for a new blog header.

For now, I'll leave you with one of my favorite shots from the weekend. (again, saving the family photo for the Christmas card!)

Oh. And did I mention I quit pumping? Yep. Last Thursday, the 30th of October, was officially my last day. Today is probably the first day everything 'feels normal'. Minus the fact that my left arm hurts like crap from my flu shot. But obviously unrelated.

I just love this one.

"mom, what is he doing?"

"mom, he's coming close again"

Madelyn was NOT wanting her picture taken

Hard to tell, but her mom, Lora, is laying down because Madelyn didn't want to leave her mom's lap :)

Trying to show Madelyn that everyone was getting their photo taken :)

What you lookin at?

Cute :)

Grammie LOVES feeding Connor :)

growing up so fast :(

Connor is officially growing up too fast :(

They 'joked' tonight at daycare about moving him to the next room (joking as in it's coming soon)...and that made me sad. Yes, it's bound to happen but we love Infant I. I'm sure Infant II will be great...but yeah. And he's offically mobile. Now, instead of army crawling it's like he throws both hands out in front of him and just pulls himself forward, like a swimming stroke. We also lowered his crib one notch tonight. Again. Sad. But WAY better than learning the hard way that he could potentially crawl his way out. He even 'crawled' down the step in his bedroom nook tonight. I'll try and get a video tomorrow possibly. (okay, so it's more of a graceful slide/fall than an intentional crawl). Okay, enough of my rambling, especially since I have no pictures to go with this post. But I promise I'm working on some pictures to post yet tonight.
