Connor 7 Months



You are finally rolling! both ways! I joke that when we were in Hawaii you taught your cousin Brynn to sit up and she taught you to roll because you both had a new skill by the end of the trip.



You have been trying to sit yourself up lately. I think you are strong enough to do it but you haven't quite figured it out as you don't seem to like to use your arms very much.



We still haven't really started you on solids yet. I think you are interested but not chomping at the bit and I will admit I have been a little lazy… The pediatrician said you should just be eating a few foods by 9 months.



You are not the happy sitter that your sister was. I remember Aurora being very needy until she learned to sit  on her own and then being super content playing by herself. You on the other hand seem like you are terribly frustrated by the fact that you haven't yet learned to crawl.



Sleep is a disaster in this house after Hawaii. I swear, I am going to have to think long and hard about ever traveling to another time zone with littles because you and your sister have been taking "naps" when we put you down at night and then being up really really late. After not sleeping AT ALL on the overnight home from Hawaii, this mama is exhausted!


On the positive side, you are still only waking up every three hours and your naps are moving closer to an hour a piece instead of only 30 minutes.

May 2014

So it's May, and yes it is still snowing in Denver!  And when we aren't getting snow we seem to be getting hail storms. I honestly love Denver weather, but sometimes it can be challenging.


Minetta and the Koch's came to visit! Uncle Roger, Aunt Cindy, and Minetta stayed with us for the night while they were in town for one of Cindy's doctor's appointments. I love that Aurora and Connor have the chance to get to know their great grandmother. I barely knew any of my grandparents so this is really special.

I had a great Mothers Day! Matt, Aurora and Connor got me a milk brother, which might just be the best gift ever. I can't think of another gift that I use at least once a day :) They also took me out to my favorite restaurant, Jax.


Our garden is starting to produce! We have gotten kale, arugula, lettuce and spinach so far. So yummy!
