Happy 2nd Birthday, Connor!

And what a happy birthday it was for Connor!  A HUGE thank you to everyone who went out of their way to make Connor's birthday weekend such a wonderful celebration of his life!  Before I explain the pictures, let me give you all an update on our little Cole.  Jason and I got to see him (in an ultrasound) on Friday, 8/12, and it was FABULOUS!  He was so happy in there - bee-bopin' around, kicking, licking the amniotic fluid (kinda gross, but darling at the same time!)...and of course, trying his best to hide his gorgeous face :)  Cole is officially bigger than Connor was at this point in the pregnancy (33 1/2 weeks) as he is measuring between 6.5 and 7.5 lbs.  He is also considered "off the charts" as he falls beyond the 100% mark!  SHEW!  Thank you, diabetes...once again...However, he is very healthy and doing very well.  The most exciting news for his daddy and I was that he had so much hair that it actually showed up on the sonogram...in CURLS!  Once again, I'll say it, IT BETTER BE RED!!! :)  We have set our c section date with Dr. Samuels and the hospital as Tuesday, September 20, 2011...unless little Cole decides to come sooner (please, please, please...)! 

Ok - onto the pictures!  This is our big boy on his birthday, August 12th!


We decided to take him out for a special Dunkin Donuts sprinkles donut for breakfast!



After the donut, we took him to Toys R Us so that he could pick out some toys with the generous gift that his Aunt Sally and her family sent him!  Later, after his nap, Jo-Jo and Grandaddy, and Harper and Adriel came over to sing happy birthday to Connor and enjoy some cup cakes!  Here is Adriel with Connor and Harper!

He was fascinated by the flame!

Notice how clean Harper is, after eating some of her cupcake...girls are SO much cleaner than boys!

Adorable shirts for Connor and Cole to wear in a couple of months!


It was a fantastic weekend!  Our little birthday boy is POOP, though!  Birthdays take a LOT of a kid!  Glad it's over...and let me just say...NO MORE EVENTS TO BE PLANNED BEFORE COLE GETS HERE!  WOO HOO!  34 weeks tomorrow!  Just 5 more...unless (once again) Cole decides to be kind to his mommy and come early :)
