Verbal updates? What are those?

I figured it was time for a semi-real update! Things have changed so much in the past few months for us, but the daily routine is getting a bit monotonous.

I can't believe how much Connor is growing into a little boy! We've started giving him some big-boy foods, like toddler pastas and yo-baby yogurt, but he still loves his pureed veggies the best. Weirdo! :) He's starting to feel VERY entitled to anything that we're eating, so we've been having a few power struggles!

We lowered his crib to the lowest setting 2 weeks ago. We thought that we would be okay with it on the middle-setting, since he hadn't shown any signs of trying to pull himself into a sitting position, let alone standing. We plunked him in there, just to see, and he pulled right up! So, we put it on the lowest setting, which makes things quite difficult with my 23-week belly.

He's been exhibiting a lot of Tori-like finger behavior: he explores EVERYTHING with his index finger first. You have to be on your guard though, because you never know how long the sweet index-fingering will last before the hitting comes.

Connor favorite thing in the whole world is when anyone coughs, but especially me. I don't get the same level of belly laughs with anything else!

Connor has cut a total of FOUR teeth in the past month! They haven't been anything like the slower-moving first two that he got, either. They're coming in with a vengeance, only taking 2-3 days to make a proud appearance.

My pregnancy is going well. My belly is much bigger this time around, and I attribute that mostly to me carrying much higher. I look now what I looked like at about 27 weeks with Connor. The little girl's a mover, but not as much of a kicker as Connor was. Anthony got to feel her move for the first time a couple of nights ago.

We're planning on coming to Utah over Easter weekend, so that will be a nice and much-needed vacation. As I sit here in 3 inches of blowing snow today, we're only hoping that we will get some sunshine over that weekend!
