Growing Up

Alright so I'm posting early by 3 days.  But I wanted to get it done now or I wont be able to for awhile. Konner will be 9 months on this Friday the 3rd.  He is growing so fast.  His has quite a vocablary list now.  Starting with Mom, Dad, Oh Yeah, Uhhh, and Baby.  He now has his two front bottom teeth they came in on the 18th and then the 19th just 1 day apart from eachother.  He waves to people when they say Hi and Bye Bye.  He has now learned that he thinks he needs to get into our box of shoes by the front door and string them out all over.  His favorites are the ones with white laces, or my high heels which I catch him putting in his mouth.  He also loves his own shoes and thinks it's pretty cool to put one in each hand and crawl with them.  I can't figure out if it feels better on his hands or if he hates to get his hands dirty. Haha it's cute though.  As for walking hes getting there.  He has learned how to stand in the middle of the floor all on his own and take one to two steps.  I took him to the doctor today and again he has another ear infection.  Poor kid.  I think I may give in and finally do the tubes route, but I'm still leary of that.  He now weighs 18.4 lbs and is growing tall.  He loves loud toys to play with which I kinda like, they are a little more entertaining and no, they don't bother me but dad thinks they can get annoying.  For Thanksgiving we stopped for an hour at Jeremy's parents home and then drove to my Uncles and his kids' in Richfield.  We do this every year.  We eat, play bunnco, opens gifts, and then head for a massive intense night of dodgeball.  Then wake up the next morning and do our Christensen's shopping, I love that store.  And while we were there Konner got his 1st visit from Santa.  He was a trooper he actually liked him.  He couldn't figure out his beard but thought it was fun to play with.  He wouldn't look at me very good for a picture though he was watching the kids waiting in line.  Friday we have Action Hotoil's annual Christmas party and Konner is staying with a actual babysitter for his first time.  Not to worry it's his cousin and he likes her when he sees her; so hopefully he will like her while we are gone.  I'm sure I will check in alot.  There is so much more I could say but I think thats it for the night.  Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.  And unless there is something exciting to post about in the next few weeks I will write again at Konners 10 month post.   

8 Months Old and Halloween

Wow how time is flying by.  Konner is now 8 months old.  A couple of months ago I said my baby is half way to being a year old and now its only around the corner.  I wish time would slow down!  There really is not a lot to update you on.  Not only has Konner mastered saying “mommy” but he also has started saying “daddy” a few times.  His new favorite word is "baby" he sits and plays and says it all time.  I think he got it from us saying a sentence with baby in it and caught on fast.  He wants to walk on his own without any help from us soo bad and he tries soo hard, but he just can’t master that skill without help yet.  But we all think by the time  he is 9 months he will have started to walk.  Once he has something in his head there is no going back.  He makes sure he masters it.  Which we love.  He now holds the bottle all on his own, but his hands get tired so after a few minutes he just lets us do it for him.  His new favorite toy is his train.  He loves to sit on the back and be pushed around the house.  It makes him look like a big boy.   As for Halloween Konner was a Penguin.  Jeremy and I have always had an inside joke about them and when I found this costume last year while I was pregnant I had to get it for this year.  I’m so glad I did he looked so studly.  My pictures are not very good though.  By the time we left it was his nap time, so he was tired and mad.  Pictures below.
