Playing with big brothers birthday toys!

Ah, the accomplishements!

Connor will be 11 months old tomorrow!! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone by. I love his laugh and his grins. He is such a happy, carefree baby. He thinks up the cutest little games. He can say "uh oh" and he points and says " u id id" (you did it) and "uhdat" (whats that). He even tries to meow like a cat... it is sooo cute!

He has been trying so hard to get up on his feet and get them to take him where he wants to go. He has done a couple steps here and there, but always falls on his little tushy. This morning, he was standing in the middle of the floor, not hanging onto anything. He headed towards the couch. It was only 5 steps away, and he was very persistant. He made it!! He was so proud of himself. He turned around with his cute little grin and started clapping for himself. Yay, BABY!! These are the times when I know I was born to be these little boy's mother. I don't know what I would do without them!

Pictures.. as promised!

This is from ONE Oreo!



He likes that ice cream!

I've been told...

That I need to update my blog. Since the person that told me is one of the people I love the most in the whole world, I guess I better.

Since March, a lot has happened. My husband lost his job and we are now living with his parents. That is the short version...

The boys had a hard time adjusting to being in the same room, but are doing fine now. Brenan is 3 1/2 and is 41 inches tall and weighs 38 pounds. Connor is 10 months old and is 29.5 inches long and weighs 28 pounds. He wears a size 24 mo or 2T!! He is trying his hardest to learn to walk. He loves to pull himself up on furniture and people, anything he can get ahold of. They are both having a lot of fun playing with and 'helping' Grandpa. Brenans best friend (other than his dad) is his cousin John. He calls him Porky and gets very excited when he comes to play, even though he is 20 years older!

Brenan has seen a doctor and we have to take him to Salt Lake to finish the testing for Asperger's syndrome. That is in the same family as autism. I am really not happy about the stigma or the label, but if it will help him learn to deal with life and people, it will be best for everyone involved. I am hoping they can also help me learn to deal better with the tantrums and figure out a better way to communicate and get him to do the things he needs to do. If he does have it, I am sure it is a very slight case but they want to make sure.

Other than that, we are all doing well and I will post some pictures so you can all see how much my boys have grown.
