Our sweet Conner James is 12 months old! I cant believe he's 1 already! This month he walks everywhere holding our hand, he pushes everything around, took 2 steps from couch to couch, and has gotten 2 more teeth making a grand total of 6! He loves to throw the ball for Lucy, wave to everyone, and smile saying DaDa! He is in size 12 month clothes, size 3 diapers, and weighs 20 pounds. We have been incredibly blessed to have Conner in our lives, the day he was born, our life began!
🥳Conner James is ONE!!🥳 I could never have imagined just how much joy you have brought into our family. The day you were born, our lives began. What would we have done without you, our sweet boy? You came into our lives healing our hearts, we so desperately wanted you. We'd been missing you for so long and planned and dreamed about you since we started dating. We discussed you and your future sibling so often and just couldn't wait for you to get here to finally love out the dreams and plans God has had for you and create the memories we've been dying to make as a family. Seeing life through your eyes has been such a treat, as you experience everything for the first time. As your parents we promise to love and harbor your talents as you grow, giving you all the tools you need to be happy and successful. We will always love you and we are always so proud of you son.
It's been a joy seeing the traits you have and who you got them from. But most importantly, you are such a happy boy! (And very cute too🤗).
His first birthday party theme was the Classic Winnie the Pooh theme at our house. I think it turned out perfectly!!
Conner LOVED his smash cake! We were very surprised!
Adorable!!!!
We of course had to have a ball pit in the middle of the living room for the kids! It was a hit!
We did a time capsule letter for everyone to write to Conner and he will open the letter on his 18th birthday. Also we did first birthday trivia! It was a fun way to engage and connect everyone at the party!
Conner loved his stuffed bear most of all, isn't that the most precious thing ever!!
We have made it a year!! Take a trip down memory lane with me to celebrate Conner!:
The best thing that ever happened to us!
Such a ham! He loves to make us laugh and to get into mischief.
His sleeping poses!
We got a rocking chair for our porch so I could rock Conner in the mornings and not disturb Lucy outside in the backyard.
Cody and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary! How has it been so long, 7 blissful years!
We love visits from family! So does Lucy!!
He loves eating anything and everything!
He is still loving his monthly baby gymnastics class!!
We took Conner to his second restaurant experience and he was the life of the place! He smiled and waved to everyone, it was SO adorable!!
We took many visits to visit the family farm!
There was even a baby calf that was born!
Hello dog! Dogs are Conner's favorite thing and favorite word to say (besides mama and dada).
We plan to move Conner to his big boy room once he weans completely and after he is officially 1 so probably between August and October. His big boy room theme will be dinosaurs!!
Still loves those steps! Now he can walk up them standing up!
My family!
We all love grandma!!
More gymnastics, high five!!
I'm so sad so see this first year go already but each day, week, and year gets sweeter and sweeter and the best is still yet to come!! I love you baby boy, thank you for changing our lives!! This was by far the best year of our life!
With so much love,
Mama
