You have to be kidding me!!!

You look at this picture and say, "oh what a sweet clean baby boy." But you all missed before this when we were having a yummy lunch at Rubys and Connor decided to pour his whole chocolate shake all over himself. I swear I turned for 1 second but it was to late. When I looked back he was covered in it. From head to toe. I wish I had my camera because now it seems funny. At the time it was HORRIBLE. Oh well lesson learned Connor is not old enough for his own shake. None the less, have you seen a cutter boy???

Tis the Season

Halloween is said and done now bring on the Christmas music!!! I love Christmas time. There is nothing better than walking into Costco and seeing all the decorations and toys, It just puts me in a good mood. You start hearing the christmas music being played in the background and all of a sudden you have all the money in the world and you want to buy everything. well at least I do. My nickname around christmas time is Captain Christmas. Very fitting if I do say so myself.
Favorite things about this time of the year
1. Shopping the day after Thanksgiving with my mom.
2. My dads christmas lights. The best you have ever seen.
3. Food
4. Singing christmas songs with all the girls
5. beef stick and egg salad sandwiches.
6. The Wilsons
7. getting together with family
8. Spending christmas eve night at my parents and waking up at 5:00am on christmas morning to open gifts
9. watching mikey open his gifts. I know he is 17 but it is the best thing to watch.
10. This year I am sooo excited to have Connor open his gifts. He is kind of old enough to get excited for new toys!!!!

connors room

Not connors room but the bean bag chair from his room

This picture is just cute. Connor was deathly afraid of the vacuum until we got him his own.

Playing catch up

So much has happened sense I last posted. The most exciting news is that we moved in to a big apartment!!!! It is so much better. Connor has his own big boy room and we are loving the fact that all of Connor's toys now have a home too.
Connor is amazing!! I can't believe that he is already 18 months old. At his check up he weighed 27 lbs and was 34 inches long. She said that he is perfectly balanced with his weight and height but that he was the size of a two year old. We are working on the talking thing but so far everything is ball and daddy. I found the best park ever and we go there at least once a day sometimes twice. I hated going to the park before I found this one. It is all gated in so Connor cant escape, which is a plus because he is a runner. The best part though is there is no sand and no wood chips. Instead they use this like this bouncy asphalt stuff. Its amazing and so nice to not leave the park all sandy and with wood chips all in your hair. He is super active and keeps me on my toes. He loves Elmo right now and can't get enough of Elmo's world and sesame street. We can't wait for Christmas so we have an excuse to buy all the things he wants and needs.
As for me I am doing great. I am already half way through my semester of school. It is going really well and so far I have A's. Hopefully I can keep that up!!! Jared is doing really well too. He is very excited about the Dodgers right now. He is the biggest dodgers fan and they are doing really well in the play offs. I hope they win because that would make for such a happy husband. He has already reminded me that in a few weeks the lakers start playing again which means basketball, baseball and football will all be on in the Burton house.

He looks like such a big boy in his skull and cross bone jammies

It is kind of a funny picture but he is just such a happy baby

The Burtons

Connors first Piano lesson

Well maybe it wasn't quite a lesson and more just banging on the keys. Regardless they sure are cute pictures!!

Steph and Brandon are here

It has been so much fun the last few weeks to have Stephanie and Brandon come down from Idaho. Connor loves them both so much!!! Every time Brandon holds him he just cuddles right up to him. Now if any of you have ever held Connor, he is not a snuggler. But he has grown quite fond of Brandon and just lets him hold for so long. I love having them here not only because they help me so much with Connor but because we have done so many fun things with the whole family. Going to beach, pool days, the movies, and of course are favorite going out to eat. I wish they could stay forever but soon enough they will be out of Idaho and back where they belong.
Connor is doing really well. I am counting down the Sundays til he is in nursery. He loves playing outside. His favorite thing is to go on walks with my mom. As soon as mom says, "Connor you wanna go on a walk" he finds his shoes and sits down for me to put them on and than races to the door. I love that he understands almost everything I saw to him. Well almost everything of course he has no idea what NO means!!! He gets into so my mischief. But what baby doesn't. I start school this coming Monday and I am so excited. Not to have to do all the homework, but excited for the process to start. The sooner I start the sooner I finish.

Forgot one

Some how I forgot to add this one in with the last post. I love this picture!!! You can tell how wavy and curly his hair is getting. I LOVE CONNOR!!!
