Flashback Friday

I'm inconsistent with Friday posts, I know. This week Jeff wanted to see what color Connor's hair was at 2 months old so we looked through pics from way back in June of 2007. We were going through them and getting all weepy from how fast it's gone...and how much they look alike. I wonder if they will still look alike in a few years, like if Noah will go from being so dark to being fair like Connor is now.

Anyway, here are some pics of Connor at Noah's age...two months :)

Connor with his Auntie Sarah

this pic cracks me up. this is why they say parents should never leave their children unattended :)

this one really looks like Noah to me...but they all do so who knows.

chubby baby!

Flashback Friday

We kept some of Connor's clothes for Noah to wear that we really liked or that were still in great shape. One of the things we kept were these super cute Cubs onesies - one in blue and one in red - that I got Jeffrey for his first Father's Day. Jeff showed up to Noah's appointment today with Noah dressed in the blue onesie. I had to do a comparrison here for obvious reasons. See below :)

Connor rockin the Cubbies shirt at ELEVEN months...

...and Noah wearing it at TWO months. sigh :)

Here are some more pics of Connor from two years ago. These are so fun to look at while also making me uber-emotional at how quickly he's grown. I really hated when people told me that when he was a baby. Such an annoying thing to say to someone, but so true I suppose :)

Connor and his cousin Jacob

this was early March when he was just teetering on walking. He'd go back and forth between Jeff's leg here and the edge of the pack and play, without taking a step but managing to stay balanced while going from one to the other. It was just a matter of days from this pic!

so happy! man, he loved those gerber graduate puff things. i can honestly vouch that they're not horrible.

the face

falling asleep at the bar :)

not sure which i love more...the madras pants or that belly.

Flashback Friday

I just found this video on an old memory card last night and had to post it for Flashback Friday. When Connor and Aidan turned one, their teachers threw them a little birthday party. Cupcakes, presents, balloons, decorations, etc. It was adorable. I left my camera with them to take lots of pics, but never realized they took this video.

Here are more Connor pics from 2 years ago - really love looking back at these photos. We're a sports family and likewise Connor has grown up sports obsessed...not sure if it's in the DNA or if it's just environmental, but he loves all things sports - always has. These are some pics of Connor at his first Spring Training game. Cubs of course. There are a ton of pics for what was probably a two hour outing! :)

I got Jeffrey this little onesie for his first Father's Day I think

loves it

spring training results in a LOT of sun for pasty little babies!

taking a little snack break

and maybe a snooze...

Flashback Friday

Karen had a great post today and i like the idea so much that i'm going to have to steal it! I'm not committing to doing it every Friday because let's face it...recently i've had a tough enough time with the posts I'm already doing! Life is crazy, what can I say?

Flashback Friday would be great to post pics of this week, but exactly three years ago...since Connor won't be three until April there's not much to post about. Hard to believe I know...but before Connor arrived I didn't take a million photos a day like I do now. So, I think I'll go two years back for now. then we'll bust out the itty bitty connor pics when Noah arrives...so we can see how similar/different they look. Anyway, so that's my plan!

Here are a few pics of Connor last March-ish. He was ten months old at that time. Clearly these pics are going to make me a weepy mess!

he still loves this rocket that papa bought him for his first Christmas.

oh i loved the ladies man shirt. we bought this before he was even born. you'll see that most of the pics of connor at this time have a shirt totally saturated with slobber! he started teething at 3 months and popped out his first tooth the day he turned 6 months...the intense slobber kept up for another year or so.

we bought this dog toy for a friend's puppy for xmas but connor found it under the tree first and made it his own.

i think i listened to that Plain White Tees shirt Delilah a few too many times while i was pregnant because Connor loooooooved it. one morning we were watching the Today show and the real Delilah came on. He scooted up to the tv and watched the whole thing from this angle.

poor baby. connor came down with RSV in february of 2008. we had to do breathing treatments every 4 hours round the clock for nearly a month. he hated wearing the mask and it was pure torture to hold on to his little body when he was getting a treatment. then we realized that if i sing Delilah while he gets the treatment, he calmed right down. i think that song will always hold a special place for us since it kinda got him through these weeks :)

Connor was a super physical baby boy. He was sitting completely on his own by 4 months, standing up while holding on to something at 6 months and he started walking while 10 months. He loved standing at all of his toys until he actually started taking steps.

more standing pics, just waiting for those first steps!
