Sleep
It may sometimes be a struggle for Connor to get to sleep, but once he does, he is so stinking cute! And honestly, why can't I look this cute when I am sleeping?!?

Staying with friends.
Enjoying some nice, warm, sunny weather.

The Funny:
Connor grunting and turning red...doing a you-know-what.
Making a bed for Connor in between the wall and the bed we slept on.
Running into someone we know from Aberdeen in Edinburgh.

The OHMYGOSH:
Ian & our friend trying to catch a mouse in their box room.
Running into someone who hasn't seen me since I was pregnant...

Teething Sucks
I don't get it. I thought sleeping thru the night was a success. Then came this glorious thing they call "teething". Now my great sleeper is up two to three times a night. And the crying, oh the crying. I feel so bad for my little guy. The tears, the screams. And sometimes during the day he is only content in my arms. I know he doesn't feel well. And it makes for long days for both him and I. If anyone has any advice on how to get thru this rough patch easier, I am all ears!
Sorry for the lack of posts...but that is what I have been facing lately.

Love
Today is a little something that Ian and I like to refer to as our anniversary. On this day 7 years ago, we got married...awww.With every passing day since then, it seems that we have fallen more in love with each other and enjoying our time together more and more.
Let me tell you a little story. This story takes place on Friday, May 7, 1999. Ian was dropping me off at home after us going out on a date. He pulls into my driveway and leans in for what I think is a hug. Then, quickly (like literally it lasted all of 2 seconds) gave me a kiss. I stumbled out of the car wondering what happened. As soon as he was out of my driveway, I was on the phone to my friends. They quickly came over and we reenacted what just happened...without the actual kiss though.
Fast forward to today, now Ian is that person who I talk to about everything. Sure there are less reenactments (okay, so really NO reenactments), but I can always talk to him about everything going on. He is my best friend and the person I feel totally and completely comfortable around.
We've come a long way baby! Here are some photos from our dating years:
Connor Got His Hair Cut!
Connor got his first haircut on Saturday. He did great during it. And the lady cutting his hair did a great job as well. He sat on Ian's lap. The hair lady was nice and let him play with her comb and stuff. She even had a little hair cutting apron (is that what you call them?) for him to wear. It was so cute. She trimmed his bangs, around his ears and the top. He was very curious when she trimmed his bangs, so we gave him Ian's phone to play with so he would stop grabbing for the scissors.
I had said before hand that I wanted to keep a lock of Connor's hair. Ian thought I was a freak for wanting to do that. Then, after the hair lady did the first cut, she asked me if I wanted it...I was like HA Ian, I am not such a freak after all!
Here are some pics of Connor getting his first haircut:

Connor watching the rain from the front door...it won't be for much longer that he will just sit there like that!
Connor, the Food Man
Connor really does love food. Apparently, it is what he has been waiting his whole life for! So far, he hasn't met a food he didn't like. Though, for some reason, he seems much more eager to eat veggies than fruits, which I am proud of. Also, he doesn't seem to like cold things. Any drink that is cold, he won't drink...though if the same drink is room temperature, he is all for it. Kind of funny, but I guess we all have our "things".
Here is a video from yesterday of Connor trying squash for the first time. He seems to like it and ate all of it, so well done Connor!

On a side note, I preferred the "milk only" poops to the "food" poops. Yes, the food poops are easier to clean up, but they stink and I don't like that!
