Really Bad

I know I've been really bad about updating this this month. We have just been so busy!! Life is very hectic!!! FYI - If anyone has a myspace I have one too. Just add me as a friend and we can keep in touch. I try to update it with pictures and what not. It's http://www.myspace.com/pinguinlvr

Let's see what is new. Not much. We had to take Connor to the doctor's on Friday. Our daycare called up and said he wasn't acting right and crying. Turns out he had an ear infection. He seems to be doing better now. We got him antibiotics and his nose seems to be cleared of his cold that he had starting last week. Let's hope he stays healthy for a little while!! At the doc they weighed him. 19 1/2 lbs. He's a small one, LOL!

Halloween is just around the corner. I did order Connor a costume. Surprise surprise it's a penguin. =) BUT I think it's too big. I'll to figure it out sometime this week and see if I need to get to the store and buy him something else. We are going camping the second week in October to Vail Lake. They do a bunch of activities for Halloween so that should be fun. There are 8 families going! Lots of kids. =)

Well, until next time!!

Our Trip to the River!

Another Tooth!!!

So we are getting in a new tooth. His upper right side. I saw the whites of it last night. No wonder he's been a little cranky lately. For those that are keeping track, that means he has 3 teeth now! Other than that, not much going on! Just doing the same 'ol same 'ol!!!

Picture Time

We went to Picture People and got pictures taken of Connor. They turned out quite well!

We have another tooth!!

It must have broke through last night while he was sleeping. Poor guy. I hope this means he's in a better mood now!!

Camping trip that almost wasn't

Well this is what happens when you book camping trips at the last minute and to places you have never seen before! LOL! Which reminds me, darn it all, I never got pictures of the campground. Oh well. So we were supposed to go to Chino camping. Our friends got there Thursday evening and I guess this place just is not all that! It's WAY too close to the dairy and there were a TON of horse flies everywhere. So they decide that isn't the place to camp. So they came home and we decided to try and call some other places and see if they had anything available. We called up Glen Ivy RV park in Corona and they had space available. Yeah! So we got there, they give us our sites, we drive over to the sites and ours has yellow tape around it. UGH! So we went back and got new sites. Finally in the end, we parked and set up camp and went over to the pool (one of the reasons we went there). It felt so good!! Connor really liked it to. Although he got in our friends pool on 4th of July this was the first time he was actually IN the pool with us. He had a blast! Kicking, splashing. I have to download the pictures.

He was cranky that afternoon while we were trying to set up but I believe the reason why is because his second tooth is starting to come in!! We could see the second one popping up next to the first one really good on Sunday. :) Anyway, on Saturday we woke up, had breakfast, played outside for a little bit then went down to the pool. I figured being as hot as it was, the pool would be packed. It wasn't bad at all! We got in, played around a bunch. Connor started getting really tired so we went back to the motorhome. I put him in his crib and he was out! Tuckered out from all the swimming. He did really good on Saturday. He was a grouch on Sunday when we were trying to pack things up and get everything together. He just wanted to be held and played with. I think his tooth is also bothering him. But we made it! We had a good time and we would go back to that campground again if we just wanted to get away some weekend.

This past weekend

Connor is doing much better. Had lots of snot this weekend but he is feeling so much better! We went out to dinner on Saturday for our friend's b-day. He did so good!! I was so proud!! The dinner was in Ontario at 6pm. Connor is usually in bed by 7pm. He got 2 - 2 hour naps in plus he slept for 45 mins on our way there. I think that is why he did so well. He started getting fussy at the end but who wouldn't sitting there for 1 1/2 hours. I was really happy. And that was the first time since he's been born that I've been able to enjoy myself out at dinner. Of course yesterday he was a fuss bucket but that was because he didn't nap really good because my friend was over with her 2 1/2 year old so I can't complain. At least I know why!!

Crabby, crabby

He's taken to being crabby at night. I'm not sure if it's because he's teething (I sure hope so because that means it'll go away) or if he's just so tired. Last night when he came home he was really tired and fell asleep for daddy for about an hour. He woke up, we fed him, he played for about an hour, at again and went to bed. Of course he woke up at 5am this morning all happy as could be playing in the living room with daddy while mommy finished getting ready for work. Oh well. Hopefully it's just the teething because that will go away once he finishes getting his teeth in. Cross your fingers.

Another day . . .

Poor Connor. I feel so bad for him. He's got a runny nose and is kinda congested. He's not as bad as he has been in the past but he's not sleeping really good at night either. Moving all around. I can tell when he wakes up and he's still tired. He'll cry out, sit up in his crib and then fall over. Usually onto his face. It's kinda funny right now as I'm thinking about it but I gasp every time I see him do it. He bangs his head into the crib and it doesn't phase him. What can I do? At least he goes back to sleep pretty easily since he is so tired. He's not snoring so it appears he can breath halfway decently when he falls asleep. I just can't figure out if he's cold or hot. I think he's been hot. I know I've been hot. So we are going to try and put the A/C down to 72 tonight and see how that works.

A Cold again . . .

You would think in the summer time you wouldn't get a cold. At least I think it's a cold. He has snot so I'm thinking it's not just congestion from teething as one of the old wives tales says. He kept waking up last night too. Probably every two hours. He didn't really cry out just started kicking the crib, sitting up, then laying down again, babbling a little. I'm thinking he is going to sleep well at daycare today.

A Slide Show

Grandma's Visit

Yup! Here are some pictures from when Grandma was here!!

Connor's First 4th of July!

We had a pretty good time last night. We went over to our friend's house about 3 blocks away. They have a pool so Connor got in for the first time! He liked it. We didn't go too far in since I did not have bathing suit. I didn't think we'd probably go in so I didn't bring anything. Considering we walked there it was less stuff to carry too.

He never had his afternoon nap because we had to leave and visit friends on Carnation and then headed over to our friend's house on Calendula that had the BBQ at that we went to. So Connor was VERY tired. He did fall asleep in my arms after his last bottle but when I went to put him down to lay in his stroller, he woke up and would not go back to sleep. So in the end, he got to see fireworks. He really liked them. Kept looking everywhere since we were doing some, the people to the left AND right were doing some also! And then of course people all over the neighborhood had the illegal fireworks they were shooting off into the air. It was pure madness (but a controlled madness!). We got home around 9:30pm and he went straight to bed. No fuss. It was a good time.

Too cute!

Ok on Monday, I would ask Connor to give me a kiss and go in and kiss him/ rub noses since his idea of a kiss is to open his mouth wide. :) I did that quite a few times. Fast forward to Tuesday. Bigi came over and was rubbing noses with him too. After a couple of times of us intiating it, he's keep moving forward for us to rub noses with him. Now onto Wednesday night. I just got done feeding him and he was not in the mood to go to bed so I sat there holding him. He keeps coming closer and closer to my face. I'm like what the heck is he doing? He's trying to bump my nose with is and smiling each time he does it! How cute is that?!?

Tooth!!!!

We have a tooth!!!! I noticed it yesterday night. It's just starting to break through. Yeah!! It's the bottom right when you are looking at him and the it looks like the left one is not far behind. Yeah!! He's doing really good eating wise. He's in Stage 2 foods now. He basically likes everything except bananas which I don't blame him. The banana baby food was disgusting! I might mash up some ripe bananas and give that to him sometime and see if he likes that better. He likes all his veggies and his is now starting to try meats. Fun fun! I've also started giving him the fruit puffs. He seems to like them. He's slowly getting the hang of things. He is also drinking from a sippy cup. He does pretty well but he has a hard time tipping it all the way back when there isn't much in it. I saw an add for a sippy cup that is supposed to help eliminate that so I'm going to see if I can find it.

He had his 7 month appt two weeks ago. He was 16lbs 4ozs and 27.5 inches long. He is in the 29%tile for weight and 75%tile for height. I have a tall skinny baby. :) Well that's about it for now.

Bad Mommy

I am a bad bad mommy for not keeping up with this!! It was kinda hard since I didn;t have any pictures to share, but guess what? Now I do. :) We bought a new camera! Yeah!! So here are some pictures. Connor is crawling like a champ now and standing up. He just wants to move all over the place! He's growing up way too fast.


The only bad thing about our camera, it has such a high resolution, our pictures are HUGE in size (3 MB each!). I'm uploading the pictures from our camping trip right now. It's going to take 45 mins. Ok, we did take a lot of pictures. I think like almost 100! Don't get use to it though because it's a new camera we wanted to play with it. Haha! I LOVE this camera. Anyway, once I get them all uploaded, I'll send a link to everyone so you can see all the pictures. If you don't get an e-mail from me by Monday, e-mail me because I probably forgot to send it to you!

Connor's 6 month appt is June 16th. A little late I know. Not my fault! The stupid drs office resecheduled it for Monday the 5th without calling and telling me. I have to work so I moved it to my next day off. It was a good thing I called the day before and confirmed otherwise I would have shown up to the drs office with him for his appt that wasn't then. Oh well. I'm just curious to see how much he weighs and how tall he is. I guess I just have to wait two more weeks. Plus we are supposed to go camping that weekend and I was really trying not to have his shots right before we went camping. What's a girl to do?!

Last Riding Trip of the Season

Well Connor had a fabulous time camping this last weekend. So much so, we tired him out. :) We got there on Thursday night, Connor slept the whole way and then went right to bed when we got him out of his car seat and put him in his travel crib. On Friday he woke up and ate and then went back to sleep so Mom and Dad could get some sleep in too. He woke up and played. Did really good all day Friday. He even played in his exersaucer outside the motorhome Friday evening for about an hour. Everybody was just awed that he would play like that for so long (us included!). On Saturday Connor and mommy and took a nice 3 hour nap in the morning and also hung out outside playing in his pack n play. Although, I think our next camping trip, the pack n play is not going to be sufficient. He wants to "crawl" (his version, he's not quite there yet but he moves!) and the pack n play is a little too confining for his liking. After all that play he went to bed at 7:30pm and didn't make a peep until 6am! Sunday we traveled home and Connor played for the first hour while in the motorhome and then went to sleep and slept all the way until we got home. Everyone had a wonderful time and the weather was beautiful. A little on the warm side but that's why we have a motorhome with a/c!! Not many pictures from the trip since we would have to pull out the camcorder when we want to take a picture but hopefully we'll get a new camera soon. We know which one we want but they are just starting to sell it this week or next so we'll have to wait until the price comes down a little! Until next time!!!

Camera Caput

UGH!!! Our camera went to the camera heaven in the sky. UGH!! Which means, no pictures for awhile. I think we know what camera we want, we just have to order it or find it somewhere. What a pain. I wasn't really expecting to need a new camera soon. Ours worked just fine. It would be nice to get a new one and now we don't have a choice. So I can't take Connor's picture next to Fieval for his 5 month shot. Oh well. What can I do right?
