3 years!

Tome and I had our 3 year anniversary today. We celebrated by going out to dinner... with both of our children.

 It has been an amazing 3 years, we have been so blessed. I cannot believe that we had 2 kids in 3 years, but I wouldn't have it any other way. We so did not plan on having kids so soon (it's not really that soon- Owen was born 3 months before our 2 year anniversary- it was just a little sooner than we expected) or so close together. It's amazing how everything always works out.

Conner had another appointment with the cardiologist last week. The doctor was really surprised at how well he is doing. He is still gaining weight and his color looks really good. The hole is still there though and he's confident it's not going to close on its own. He said to plan on him having the surgery sometime in May or June. I was hoping he wouldn't need surgery but I feel good about it. The idea of my little baby having to go through all of that really scares me, but I know he is going to be okay. Everything happens for a reason.

He is such a good baby. He sleeps a lot. He's on some medication to keep fluid from building up around his heart, with that and his heart working twice as hard as it should, he's one tired boy. But when he is awake (which is finally during the day and not in the middle of the night...yay) he is getting a lot more alert. It's so much fun to watch him watch his brother. I'm so excited for when they can start to play together!

Conner's blessing

We had Conner's blessing over Presidents Day weekend. It was so fun to have most of our families together. It was a bit crazy but so much fun!!

Owen was about a month older when we did his blessing, but fortunately Conner fit into the same outfit (which is a 9-12 month size, by the way, don't think it was labeled right). I love that little tux!

Tome also got me an early anniversary present/early birthday present/early Christmas present...for the next 5 years....

I love it! It is so nice to not have to take apart the double stroller just to get it in the trunk. And to not have the passenger seat all the way up cause the car seat's behind it. Yay for not having my knees in the dash board!

15 months!

I absolutely love this little man! I have so much fun with him during the day. He's getting so smart, I love watching him figure things out.

He's not talking very much yet. He can say hi, bye, mom, dad and thank you but he doesn't say them very often. He mostly just says "eeeesh". I'm not quite sure what it means, but pretty much everything is an "eeeesh".

He loves going to the park. Now that he's not scared of the grass or the little wood chips he has a lot more fun.

I love his facial expressions.

He is such a good big brother. If Conner starts crying he runs over and tries to put his binkie back in or he'll grab a blanket and throw it on him. He loves to give him hugs...they're kind of violent hugs, more of a head butt than anything else, but it's still pretty cute.
