Purse

This is my new purse! I love, love , love it! But that's not what my post is about.

A little old man was walking down the hall at my work today carrying his wife's purse. She was on crutches and unable to carry her purse, so he was carrying it for her. He almost dropped it and said, "I almost dropped my purse!" This made me think of Chris. He hates to carry my purse but does it occasionally for me. He also does many other things for me that I know he hates to do. But he does them because he loves me! And I hope that when we are 80 years old and I'm on crutches he will carry my purse because he still loves me!

I love you babe!

Sleep

With me going back to work our schedules have changed in the past couple of weeks. Conner has been waking up at 4am almost every day and that really can't happen. I have to get up at 5:30am to get ready for work. We usually go to bed around 10pm so it's not like we put him to bed super early. He also usually sleeps in his swing or in our bed (don't judge me). I want him to start sleeping in his crib though. Does anyone have any adivce for me or tips?

3 Months/Life

Conner is 3 months old! I can't believe how quick 3 months can fly by, but it has. I was looking at some pictures of the day Conner was born and don't really remember him being that little (sad). He is growing and changing so much every day. I wish that I could freeze time but at the same

time love to see him learn new things each day.

At 3 months Conner-

Loves to smile!

Is "talking" all the time

Loves it when I sing to him (even though I suck at singing)

Loves to watch me, whatever I'm doing

No longer has the eye boogie problem

Still sleeps with his hands by his face

Is wearing size 1 diapers

Loves to watch TV (Favs are Playhouse Disney, football with Dad, Holmes on Homes)

Holds onto his toys very well

Loves to hold his dads finger while drinking a bottle

Loves to put everything in his mouth

Is grabbing at things mostly with his left hand. I think he will be a leftie.

Is precious!

In other news...I returned to work this past week. It has been rough adjusting to leaving Conner all day. I'm hoping that next week will be better. Chris had knee surgery 2 weeks ago and is recovering well. His leg has started to bruise and swell (which is good). He has not really had to use crutches and is walking pretty well. We are excited for our first Christmas with Conner and hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Early Christmas Gift

We got an early Christmas present today. Our niece Emily was born today (in her bathroom)! She weighs 6 lbs. 14oz. 19 inches long and is perfect! Welcome to the family!

And we are very proud of her mom Kelly for handling the delivery so well!

Random Non Conner Post

Conner has taken over this blog since he was born and I wanted to blog about something non-Conner, but not much else is going on! We have done some "home improvements" over the past few weeks that I thought I would share. It's not very exciting, but oh well.

I had been asking Chris to spruce up our master bathroom mirror by framing it with molding. The day before Conner was born he finally did it for me. It is way better than the standard, boring mirror that was there!

We had nothing in our entry way (except for the mirror) and it was boring. So we added the wall saying, sconces, table and rug. And now I get to decorate the table with seasonal things!

Wall Saying and sconces

Table with seasonal decorations

Rug

And last but not least...we got a nice letter from our HOA reminding us to finish our front yard or else they would fine us $100 a day until it is done. So we poured the last part of the drive way!
