10 Months!

Yes - I'm a bit late posting this... sorry!  Things have been a bit hectic around here lately.  Connor has recovered from RSV and has been a very happy little guy lately. I'm still in a cast for two more weeks so we've been spending lots of time with my mom, as she is here to help out!  Since the weather has been so nice, Connor has enjoyed many walks with Grandma Cathy and Mattie!

Connor turned 10 months on Monday!  He is just such a funny little guy.  He loves chasing balls around, laughing, babbling, turning the volume up/down on the TV, eating waffles, and knocking around his toys.

He still doesn't like the vacuum, eating green beans or peas (do you blame him?), or getting his diaper changed.

Here are some photos to show his growth at 10 months:

 

Snyder Ski Trip to Colorado!

We just got back from a fun-filled trip with my family to Breckenridge, Colorado!  In order to avoid the snowstorm in Atlanta, the 3 of us headed out a day early and spent 2 days in Denver.  Thank God for my knee scooter that got me around with my torn ligament/cast :)

On the airplane ride to Colorado, Connor slept for 2 hours and spent the other 1.5 hours pulling things out of the seat pocket and talking.  On the airplane back to Atlanta, he didn't sleep one wink and had a blast talking to everyone on the plane (pretty loud - oops)!

My parents rented an awesome home in Breckenridge and we had tons of fun.  Connor spent a lot of time with Grandma Cathy, Tanner, Taylor, and myself in the house while everyone else skied the slopes.  What a bummer to be in such a beautiful ski town and not be able to ski, but we made our own fun!  Connor spent a lot of his time sitting and watching his cousins run around and playing with their toys!

Here are some pictures from our trip!

Connor loved playing with Tanner's "Monster Truck"

The boys made a huge sledding hill

We celebrated Pop Pop's birthday a bit early!

Playing in the snow!

We played lots of foosball!

Everyone that was able to make the trip - Pop Pop, Grandma, Connor, Candace, Keith, Courtney, Chad, David, Brandon, Courtney, Tanner, and Taylor

Now that we're back in Marietta, we are adjusting back to life with no sickness and a bum foot.  We are so thankful that my mom is coming to town tomorrow to help us while I'm still in a cast!

Rough Week

To say that we've had a rough week is a understatement!

Connor got diagnosed with bronchialitis and RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus), which is a bad respiratory infection where it's hard for him to breathe, lasts a while, and is extremely contagious.  Speaking of contagious, Keith and I both caught it (which is equivalent to a bad cold for an adult) and have been sick, weak, and tired for a few days.  Did I mention that I ruptured a ligament in my ankle at my tennis match on Sunday?  Yep - 12 weeks total recovery... 3 weeks in a (pink, or course) cast and 9 weeks in various casts/walking boots after.  Oh - and we're going to Colorado on a ski trip this week - no skiing for this girl :(

Let's just say that this is not ideal when you have an adventurous 9.5 month old :) 

On the bright side, Keith's mom has helped out a bunch and my mom will be coming down in a couple of weeks to help out as well.

Since I'm immobile, I figured I would update the blog - so here are some pictures that we took before our not-so-great week:

Daddy taught him how to crawl up the stairs - ut-oh!!

Tubby Time...
