Birthday Boy! (lots of pictures)

WOW am I late to blog about his birthday! Sorry! Well his birthday was great. While he was sleeping the night before, we filled his room with about 50 balloons. He loved them when he woke up in the morning. They actually started to fall extremely fast which at first really bugged me, but then he was able to play with them all on the floor so it actually worked out.

Later, we went to Red Lobster for lunch. I know it's not kid oriented, but nothing around here really is. He actually loved their chicken tenders though! Then we went on a little shopping spree at Toys R Us to pick out a few birthday presents. I think we're going to make this a tradition. We'll go out for a special lunch (eventually we'll go to kid themed places or he can pick a restaurant) and then we'll go to the toy store where he can pick out a few presents. I only wrapped one when we got home just to see how he would react to opening presents now that he's older. Lol, he still wasn't that into it. He got a few hot wheel cars which he loves. He carried them around all the time and then collects them in a little bucket he found in a closet. He also got a Toy Story power wheel that he absolutely LOVES. He would stay in it al day if we let him. It's a nice one for little kids because it has a long pole that attaches to it from behind so we can push/steer him. He hasn't quite figured out that he needs to push the button for it to move so right now we use the pole.

He also went for his 12 month visit to the doctor this week. He is 22lbs, 6 oz and 29.5 inches long. He's in the 50% percentile for both. He is still in between 6-9 month clothes and 12 months (although he can wear 18 month 2 piece fitted pjs) but we are going to be moving up to the next size for diapers as soon as we finish this box. The little booger butt leaks through his diaper almost every night so we are starting 4s at night and using 3s during the day until they are gone.



In un-Connor related news....WE PUT AN OFFER IN ON A HOUSE!!! We should hear back by tomorrow. It is perfect and the only thing it will possibly need is new carpet. They have a cat who isn't very well trained if you catch my drift. If you get it, we'll try and have someone come out to clean them. If that doesn't work, we'll replace it. I can hardly wait until tomorrow! At least Connor's birthday party (FYI - it's at a park and weather.com says its going to be NINETY out tomorrow...is tomorrow though so that should help distract me :)
