Well-as you probably know from my lack of blogging lately we’ve been quite busy! Two weekends in a row we had friends from out of town staying with us, so it was nice to have last weekend to recover from being so busy. I’ve forgotten to include some stuff on the blog and some pictures from the past couple of weeks. So before I forget all we’ve been up to here it goes!

I styled little C-man’s hair and I think he liked it 🙂
I only put product in his hair every now and then because I don’t want to over-do it!

Connor loves to sit with us while we are on the computer and we Skype a lot with my parents and sister. He spends most of his time trying to grab the screen or slam his hands on the keyboard.

We had Adam & Christa over on Saturday and we went to the Olive Garden for lunch. Christa is getting lessons on feeding bottles and changing diapers! LOL! I had the never ending pasta bowl at the Olive Garden. I don’t know why they call it “never ending” because I can’t even finish ONE bowl! Adam & Christa love Connor so much, it cracks me up because they are just so anxious to hold him and give him snuggles 🙂 They are so sweet!

My lovely hubby…can you tell he loves to have his picture taken?

So does Adam 😛

He kept waving his arms around so I couldn’t take photos of him because he didn’t want to end of on this BLOG!!! News Flash : I STILL PUT IT UP!!! HA..HA..

Connor loves his BFF cousin Arielle

They will both be crawling before you know it!

On the weekends we have to support our TCU Froggies 🙂

Here is a pic of the three of us on the train I forgot to include

I want to remember Connor’s first train ride!

Granna strolling us around the neighborhood

We love our Granna so much!

Sometimes in the mornings Connor also helps Mama get ready

He got into my eyeshadow and started eating it! Oops!

He’s also been sitting up like a big boy in shopping carts now!!!

Here we are at Target…where I could cruise for hours!

We are so blessed! Connor is such a GOOD baby and I can’t wait to get home to him every day!

Just some things I wanted to remember….life is passing by so quickly these days….

Hope you all are having a good week!

You are growing so fast Connor boy!
Oh how I love you so!

Poor baby had a 103.3 degree fever last night after getting his shots. He threw up pretty bad last night too 🙁 Daddy is at home with him right now taking good care of him. I have the BEST Daddy ever!

We love you buddy!
Hope you all have a great weekend!

It has been QUITE a day in the Branch fam! Terence took Connor to his 6 month doctor appointment this morning and everything went well, but Terence called me at work and said they wanted to do some x-rays on his head. They were concerned about how his skull was growing together, so the Doctor just wanted to double check. It scared me to death so I left work and met Terence up at Cook Children’s. Connor did NOT like laying on that cold table, especially after just having five shots! I was so glad I was there to comfort him though. He’s been really snugly and clingy lately 🙂 The hospital called before I even got back to work and said everything looked NORMAL!!! Praise the Lord! It’s just been a crazy day and poor thing is running a 101.7 degree fever tonight. So glad tomorrow is Friday!

Bottle always makes it better!
Waiting at the Doctor’s office

I love my Daddy!

Poor little guy had been crying non-stop!

You may have also heard about all the nasty weather DFW has been getting. We had some severe thunder storms and even some tornadoes yesterday! This is the scene on my way home yesterday…….

The whole street was flooded

Stuff from across the street

Did someone put a lake in the neighborhood while I was gone???

re-routing us all home 🙂

It was all cleaned up by this morning and I was able to get home in the normal fashion today!

I guess when it rains it pours sometimes…..literally…..

This past weekend our good friends Kristin & Nate came to visit us from Arkansas. They brought all three of their kids-Brayden (8), Abby (4), and Lane (2). It so much fun to catch up with them since we haven’t seen them in a long time! We appreciate them driving here to see us!
Saturday we woke up and ate breakfast at IHOP. Kristin and I had our favorite chocolate chip pancakes. Afterwards we headed to the mall and shopped a bit. That afternoon we drove to Fort Worth and rode the train outside the Zoo. It was a lot of fun and all the kids really liked it!

It was great weather this weekend 🙂

Kristin and Lane

Brayden – he’s turning 8 next month!

I remember when this boy was born….I feel old!

Our “choo choo“

Go Frogs!!!

One place we had to go to is The Cheesecake Factory. We all gorged on food, including chocolate cake and Godiva cheesecake! Kristin and I LOVE our chocolate! We shopped around some more and let me just say that shopping for “jeggings” with someone who is a size zero is depressing! ha..ha..ha.. She looks great for having three kiddos though! I am not genetically inclined to EVER be a size zero or ever wear JEGGINGS!!!!

We also watched a movie called “Super Size Me” and it has totally ruined McDonald’s for me! I don’t think I will be going back there for awhile, even if they have re-done their menu since then! ewe! Don’t watch unless you want to be turned off of fast food!

I hope you all had a fabulous Labor Day and HELLO FALL!!!!!

Connor boy you were 6 months this past Saturday! I can’t believe we have already had you in our lives for 1/2 a year! You are growing so fast and won’t sit still anymore. We find you every morning in your crib upside down and with no covers on. You are definitely a wiggle worm!

What you are doing right now :

• You are still a big drooler
• You love to suck on your toes
• You still prefer breast milk
• You love your fish tank on the side of your crib
• You also love your jungle activity jumper
• Size 3 diaper
• You love tummy time and rolling on the floor
• Bath time is your favorite 🙂
• You love to be held and you are very alert! You hardly take naps, but are sleeping through the night really well!

Your 6 month doctor visit is on Thursday so we’ll have your stats then

We tried baby food for the first time this weekend. We started with sweet potatoes and you made some pretty nasty faces! ha..ha.. You gagged a little bit and spit it up. We tried apples tonight and you seemed to like that better 🙂 I think it will take some getting used to, but we will get the hang of it!

You are my silly boy! You make the cutest faces…you are such a blessing to your

Daddy & I and we couldn’t imagine life without you my little angel boy! We love you!!!
