Cookies and Milk 1st Birthday Party!

Our little Connor is One! We had an amazing birthday party with family for him a couple of weeks ago, and I am just now getting around to posting it! I copied this adorable Cookies and Milk party from http://apartystyle.blogspot.com/2010/02/milk-and-cookies-party_10.html, I just loved the idea, and unlike Zach I didn't really feel like Connor was really into anything that I could make a party out of (for instance Zach was very into trucks, so we had a dump truck party). It turned out perfect! I just love my little boy, although I secretly wished he would never grow up.

Here are his stats!

Weight: 21.7
Height:29"
Head: 18"
Cuteness: 100%

They could still his hear his heart murmur, but aren't worried about it. (sometimes in babies, it goes away)

The Con Man's new skills and looks:

He has 4 lil' teefers
He says: mama, dada (although I am not 100% sold that he knows who is who) hey-wo (hello), hi, uh-oh, wasdat (what's that). He puts almost anything up to his ear, including his fist and says "hay-wo?"

He is generally quiet and sneaky-meaning I lose track of him easily!
He is standing by himself, but not to interested in walking, crawling is so much faster.
No more bottles!! Woowhoo! Of course he transitioned like he was a professional and could care less about the bottle!
He goes to bed at 7 almost exactly everynight and is up by 6 every monring (drag). He still takes two good long naps.
He loves to wave to everything and everyone, and does both kinds of waving.
He will stop in the middle of anything to start clapping for someone, or the tv, or if everyone is clapping, and will say "yaaay" while he does it.
He dances, and boy does he love it, and dance to EVERYTHING, I can't even sing him a song at bed time now (although I still sometimes do), because he gets all excited and just starts dancing!
He loves to Beat-Box with daddy, it's there "thing" and its pretty cute.
He gives nice big kisses with his big open mouth, oh it's so juicy.
He is still in the ZERO fears stage, would crawl off the bed or couch anyday!
He is our little angel. He is so sweet, so fun to be around, and still is always making us smile. He is so easy to get a laugh out of, and is the best for brightening up your day. He would def. be the most perfect baby if he didn't have his cranky teething times. Even when he is tired or even overly tired he usually just gets delerious and just starts laughing at everything, he kind of makes me scared for baby number 3. I really can't believe it has been a year since I went to the doctor for feeling no movement, and then had him with in the next hour, what a perfect day it ended up being.

There were so fun and easy to make-and a last minute idea I came up with! They are the party favor bags for the guest to fill up with cookies to take home!

This cake was so easy and so much fun to make!

Right before they wheeled him back to get tubes...

Connor has been such a good baby ever since he was born. He rarely spit up, he slept good (good compared to Zach!), and wasn't colicy or gassy. Unfortunately he was sick-ALOT. At 4 months he was hospitalized for RSV and pneumonia-where he stayed and had IV's and breathing treatments and lots of antibiotics-he was there for a little less than a week, if I remember right. That wasn't his first sickness though, he got his first cold at only 2 weeks, he lost his voice and you literally could not hear him cry or scream-this cold which was probably RSV kept reocurring till it finally got bad enough to put him in the hospital. After that he again got wheezy two more times and had to be put back on breathing treatments and steriods because he had so much inflamation in his lungs. At this point he kept getting double ear infections, he ended up having 5 in 4 months, I beleive it was-which led to him getting tubes. I have kept him on pediasure which seems to be helping a ton- and he is a very happy baby!

We Love you Connor!
