Family Night

The other night we decided to have a family pajama party. We rented the new Shrek movie and watched it while we ate pizza and shared chocolate fondue. I was worried about the mess Conner would make but I ended up making the biggest mess and dropped a chocolate covered banana on the carpet… at least the carpet is already brown!

Conner's new "BITE!" (as he would say!)
We gave Conner his “Christmas bike” a little early because we didn’t want to bring it all the way to Washington. He loves it… Especially while wearing his hat and gloves. He insists on wearing them around the house at least five times a day... Apparently our house is really cold!

December Happenings

When I was painting my toenails, Conner wanted me to paint his too! I was only going to do one toe but he kept pointing to each toenail, wanting them ALL painted. He was so excited when I was done and didn’t want to put his socks back on because he wanted to keep looking at them. Good thing Nathan wasn’t home… I don’t think that he would have allowed it to happen! Haha!

Conner has no shame... Look how happy he is to have red toes!

We put up our Christmas tree the other day. Conner liked “helping.” Actually in these pictures Conner is taking the ornaments OFF of the tree and pulling the tops off…

I saved the best picture for last…
My Mom and sister came up to visit so we decided to take Conner to go see Santa. We had gone to the mall a few days before and Santa was walking around passing out candy canes. After Conner got one he said “Ho, Ho, Ho” the rest of the day because he wanted to go back to see Santa to get more candy. So when we went back he immediately ran up to Santa, got his candy cane, opened it, handed Santa the wrapper, and ran back to us to eat it. He kept waving and smiling at Santa… until we tried sitting him on his lap.

His face immediately turned RED… he was not happy! There were a few pictures where he wasn’t crying so hard but Nathan thought that this one was the funniest. When Conner ran back to us he had big tears rolling down his cheeks but when we told him to say bye to Santa he waved and smiled. Both the kid before and after Conner bawled too… poor Santa has the fun job of making little kids cry all day. Maybe next year will be better!

20 Weeks

Halfway there! I can feel the baby moving all the time and I LOVE it. It is definitely my favorite part about being pregnant. My not so favorite part is having all my clothes getting tighter and tighter... at least that means that he is getting bigger and stronger. We are excited for little Jayden to join our family. We are trying to get Conner used to the idea of having a little brother. Whenever we ask him "where is baby Jayden?" he comes over and points to my tummy. Although he probably doesn't know what that means it is really cute!
