So, today, for the first time in fifteen months, Connor was sick.

He stayed in his crib until 10:00 sleeping, and when I finally went in to wake him up, he barely lifted his head, and his eyes looked so so so sad.

So I took his temperature, turns out he had a fever of 103.7.

The doctor didn't have any appointments available until four o'clock, so we snuggled on the couch, drinking juice until then.

Some how, my little sweet baby got strep throat.

TBC- said baby, has just awoken from his previously sound slumber.

Well. I'm officially the most terrible blogger on the face of the earth. It's been months since this blog has even crossed my mind. Which is odd since I somehow stay up to date on all of the various mommy blogs I've been reading for the past year and a half.

I'm a little ashamed of my blog.

Looking at it now, it just seems so subpar. It's disorganized and my writing is disjointed. I didn't like the way that it looked, so I would just bang out a post and publish it, without taking the time to proofread or really even care about what I was saying.

Not anymore.

I want to be proud of this little blog, to be able to look back on a post and remember exactly what I was feeling when I wrote it. I want somebody else to read it and think 'Wow, I feel that way too.'

Most of all, I just want a record of this time in my life. I'm starting a brand new chapter, and that in itself is worth documenting.

SO, welcome to my blog! I don't know what it'll turn out to be, or if it'll even be any good. But it will be me, a college student and single mom from New York with a fifteen month old son.

Because really, that's all I can be.

PHOTD

Whoops. I totally forgot about this blog. I'm coming back to blogger though! I liked Tumblr but it was just too confusing for me. aaanyways, I've got to figure out how to jazz up this blog a little. In the meantime why don't I tell you about life right now?

Life with a six month old is.. different. He's so aware of everything, sometimes I just look at him and I'm like where did my little baby go?? It's fun though, he likes to play now. His smile and laugh are so infectious it's crazy.

He's a solid food champ now. He'll basically eat anything, the other day my 14 month old cousin was over and he was feeding Connor little pieces of his yogurt melts and let me tell you Connor was loving it. (I wasn't. Scrubbing little bits of yogurt out my carpet isn't a task I accept with a smile.)

He's also started crawling er- well it's more of a 'swimming' motion then a crawling motion, but he's moving nonetheless.

Messing Around With the Camera

5 months old

So much for updating every day right? Oh well.. Connor's 5 months old now! He turned 5 months on the seventh. It's crazy how fast it's going, I just wanna sit him down and be like 'Hey! Your growing up waaaaay too fast!' Every time I see little babies on TV or on YouTube I always get a little homesick for when Connor was that young. Then I look at the older babies and I'm really excited for all of the things that we'll get to do together once he's a little bigger! I'm fairly sure he's started teething, you can't keep anything in his reach out of his mouth. He weighs 17 lbs and is 25 inches long, Which is a good thing. He's making his way up the percentile chart with his height. In the beginning he was only in the 3rd percentile, then the next time it was the 10th, and now it's the 25th.
