Long overdue!!

We are long overdue for a blog post!! So much has happened in the past month and 1/2. Where to start?

How about the new things Connor is doing...

Connor is pretty mobile by now. He crawls all over the place, pulls himself up, crawls up the stairs, walks around furniture. He can stand on his own for as long as he wants, but he hasn't mustered up the courage to take multiple steps on his own yet. He's taken 1 or 2 steps at a time, but then falls down. I have a feeling he'll be walking in no time!!

Connor's menu continues to grow! He is tasting a lot of the things we are eating, but he doesn't always make a meal out of it. I try to get him to eat pasta, chicken, pancakes (one of his favorites), mac and cheese, but a lot of the times he only has a few bites and is done. He would rather feed himself than be fed. I usually follow his finger foods with pureed baby food to make sure he gets full!

He just turned 11 months old last Friday which means he'll be one in less than a month!! Where does the time go??

Connor is sleeping MUCH better at night!! Bed time usually takes place around 8-8:30 and he can usually make the stretch until about 4-5am. If I nurse him he'll usually go back to bed until 7:30 am, give or take 30 min.

We think he's working on another tooth! He has had an on again off again fever since Friday and has had the classic runny nose & cough that usually comes along with a new tooth. He has also been pretty fussy. I know it is early, but I really think I see a molar pushing through.

Connor got his first haircut last week and looks much older and very handsome!! I kind of miss his crazy, wacky, long hair, but I am sure it won't take long for it to grow back out! 

Connor keeps us busy. I pretty much have zero time for anything else unless he's napping!! He is curious and doesn't sit still -- but I guess that's a good thing !!

So...onto family news..

I am sure everyone knows we are moving to Chicago (actually a suburb of Chicago). Well, we are half moved by now.

Ryan left for IL on Sunday. He started his new job today!! Connor and I fly out this upcoming Saturday. I am really nervous about the flight with Connor because he has no interest in sitting still these days!!

We had a great holiday weekend with friends & family. We spent our last night in our Hummelstown home on Thursday night and then packed up and drove to Lewistown on Friday. Saturday my parents had a going away party for us, so we got to see a bunch of friends & family. I am spending the rest of my time in Lewistown before we leave for IL on Saturday.

Today we had a fun day with Liz & Ravi. They drove from Hershey to spend the day with us at my parent's pool. Tomorrow we are going to spend time with my dear friend Katie, and then Thurs and Fri I'll be in Hummelstown helping the movers pack up and load our stuff onto trucks to head to IL. This week is flying and will continue to fly by!

I am going to try to start our blog challenge back up once we get to IL and get settled. We are in temporary housing for 60 days, so hopefully we find a house before that. If not, we'll have to rent something for a year.

Wish us luck!:)
