I never get bored

Of looking at this face!

and the bravery award goes to....

Mr. Connor Moody!!!!!!!
You have gone through and continue to go through so much with hardly a peep or complaints.
You have therapy several times a week, have to see countless numbers of doctors, wear braces on your hands and legs and have nothing but smiles to offer to people.

(before surgery)

(checking out his GIANT booties)

You had surgery yesterday morning, are in an insane amount of pain but still continue to smile and dance while laying lazily on the couch.

(right after surgery.  lots of pain)

The nurse at the hospital did a horrible job taking out your I.V. from your foot and you hardly screamed even though it was clear you were in agony.

We can hardly change your diaper right now without you wincing but somehow you still manage to look into mommy and daddy's eyes and say dack oon (love you).

For this Connor-you are by far the bravest little boy mommy and daddy will ever know and you deserve this award with love!

To my wonderful husband

Happy Father's Day.  You are an incredible father to our son.  Connor and I are so lucky to have you in our lives.
Enjoy this day with your boy!

We love you!

Happy Mothers Day

Today has been wonderful.  Connor has been well behaved and happy all day.  We went and enjoyed a wonderful lunch with my sister, nieces and my mom.  The food was horrible but the company was more than I could have asked for.  My niece Emma is in love with Connor and I was so happy to enjoy watching them interact with each other (Emma is 18 months older than Connor).  He just loves the attention he gets from her.I am now at home playing with photoshop and cant wait to eat my grilled salami and cheese sandwiches I have requested Eric to make me for dinner.

Enjoy and happy mother's day to all you wonderful mommies out there.

Let the fun begin...

Connor is officially walking now. I am amazed how fast it happened. He was taking no more than 5-9 steps a few days ago before falling and now I lose count as to how many he is taking. He is so determined. I am more proud of him than I can put into words. He is beating so many odds. I sort of knew he would walk at some point and cant believe it happened so fast.
He is making so much progress in speech as well. We were told he might talk which of course is scary to think that there is a possibility he might not but, he is babbling more and more and making sounds that can be words. He is simply amazing.
He has taught me more in two short years than I have learned in my 32 years here on Earth.
Connor can be a lesson to us all. He is determined, patient, happy and content in any situation he is given. I complain every time I take him to therapy but, he never makes a peep. He smiles, flirts and does what they tell him to do.
I am more than honored to travel on this road of life with him and thank God every day that he chose Eric and I to be his parents and learn from him.
Connor is my heart.
Let the fun of a walking toddler begin...
