Well, I am not sure what it was. It may not have been a true stomach bug, but you were certainly sick and it certainly broke my heart. I have only felt helpless in a few situations, more when you are hurt or sick, but this was the worst. You have never thrown up before and you didn't even really know how to throw up. I couldn't do anything to help you, but hold you and all of your thrown up on clothes. Spoiled milk is not the best smell.
I always wondered how I would handle sickness with you. Would I throw up to? Would my mommy instincts kick in and I would become super mom? But it wasn't either of those. My compassion gene kicked in and I was able to hold in my supper and hold you at the same time. I was quite proud of myself.
You are feeling much better today. I just hope you sleep through the night. We both could use it!!
I love you!
Mommy

Biscuit Books
You have a set a books that I am constantly buying for you. They are a story about a yellow puppy that looks like a golden retriever, named Biscuit. I just know that one day we will be buying you a "Biscuit".
I love your books. They are just short enough to hold your attention, but are filled with all good things. My favorite one is "Where is Love Biscuit" and it is all about all the ways you are loved or love it shown to you.
The funny thing is you don't really like Biscuit when he says "woof woof". You repeat Puddles, Biscuits friend, when he says "Bow Wow". You are so funny with your mouth when you say it.
We read every night 3 or 4 books and you know that it is time for bed. I tuck you in and say night night. You have just started saying night night back to me and my heart just melts away when you do. You are growing up so fast and I love watching you learn and explore. A part of me misses my baby boy and when we would rock you to sleep at night, but I love all of the new things you are doing to show ME love.
I love you sweet boy!

Jonah is Here!!
Connor,
You have a new cousin this week. TiTi, as you call her now, and Uncle Wesley just had baby Jonah. He was born on October 19th at 5:30pm. You were at the hospital when he was born. It was so exciting to see my sister have a baby. It made me miss the times when you were so little. I just loved kissing your sweet cheeks and you slept ALL the time. Which just meant that I got to hold you while you were sleeping. I loved every minute of it. And I still love every minute of it. You are waking up from a nap right now and I can hear you over the monitor. You are back there talking to yourself and practicing saying "Mama". You are probably starving. You fell asleep on our way home from Target and I was able to get you out of the car and into the bed, but it was right during lunch. I decided to let you sleep anyway.
You don't care much for baby Jonah just yet. You aren't real sure why he is so small. I tried to get you to give him a kiss yesterday, but you were having none of it. You give the best kisses right now. And if you give out one, you go around the room and give them to all of us. Its the best and so sweet. Maybe in a day or two you will warm up to Jonah and want to see him. I sure hope so, because I hope to have you a little brother or sister or some point.
I love you bugger!
Mommy
ps. Halloween is next week and you and Emma are going to be Mickey and Minnie Mouse! I can't wait.

A 24 Hour Drive
I have been fussing at your dad ever since you were born about not taking long road trips for fear of how you would do in the car. However, we just got to NaNa's and it took us 2 days to get here and you DID GREAT! We did have a few meltdowns, but it wasn't anything like I expected. I thought we were going to lose our minds, all of us, but I think we all survived very well. Even Abby took the trip with us and did good.
I guess now we will have to take more road trips with you, I don't have any more excuses.
We came to Jackson this trip for the birth of your cousin, Jonah. He is due any day now and we can't wait. You and Emma did really well together last night. Again, you did not want to go to bed. You never want to go to bed at NaNa and Granddaddy's. You LOVE to stay up late and keep playing, but in a few days you will hit meltdown and get a cold. So, as much as you are cussing me for putting you down for a nap, I love you and am doing it for your own good.
You are so cute with Emma these days too. She loves to feed you when you guys are eating and you love to take her food from her. Also, you have started giving closed mouth kisses, like real kisses and not just an open mouth with a tongue sticking out. HA. I love it!!
Hopefully I will a post about Jonah soon. I can't wait to see you give him kisses and how you react. It will give me an indication about your dad and I having you a little brother or sister (I know, yuck!)
XOXO,
Mommy
