As I run around packing everything for our upcoming vacation, I can't help but to reflect on the past 9 1/2 months. When Conor was first born, and our world was turned upside down, I would often think about our annual North Carolina trip and how much fun it would be this year to bring our new baby with us. It would be a calming thought on the sleepless nights and tiring days of trying to entertain a very needy little baby. It would be an exciting thought as I watched him grow, change and become more independent... how he was going to enjoy his first trip of many to the mountains. I would think to myself "I can't believe he will be crawling and babbling when we go on our trip this year". It seemed like he would never be more than a little newborn helpless in our arms. And now it is actually here and he is doing all the things I thought he would and more.
Now that we have added an addition to our vacation (flying to RI first for a wedding) I am even more frantic planning for what I call our mega-vacation. Driving to Raleigh, NC, flying to RI & back to NC. Then driving over to Blowing Rock and then driving back home, whew! But it will all be worth it. I can't wait for our first adventure as a family.
Here are some recent shots and video of Conor crawling. I love him so much and so much more with every day that passes, I just can't get enough of him!
