Remember when...(#1)

This day in age, with social networking quickly overtaking phone calls and face-to-face interaction as the preferred method of communication, it's no surprise that many of us have "friends" that we've never actually met. I definitely have a few "friends" that I've never been in the same room with. For example there's a blog that I love to follow written by my friend Jennifer Hopkins. I've never met Jennifer, but I used to work with her husband and I know that she's a fellow Baylor alum.  Anyway, Jennifer's not only a very creative writer, but also an accomplished photographer. Her blog chronicles the lives of her family and her stories are witty and fun.

So Jennifer has a segment on her blog called "Bits and Pieces". This is where she highlights quick little stories about something funny her daughter said, or her son's favorite activity. Basically, it's a fun way to let her kids know about all the silly things they did when they were little.

I want to start something similar on my blog, so here we go...

1. Connor likes to call himself "Con-Con". They started calling him that at school since it's easy for the kids to say. Now if I ask him where Con-Con is, he points to himself.

2. Kate also has a nickname. Ross and I like to call her "BK", it stands for baby Kate.

3. Since we didn't know the sex of either of our kids, we had to arrive at the delivery room with a girl name and a boy name picked out. When Connor was born we had two boy names that we couldn't decide between and when Kate was born we had two girl names.  For Connor it was between Connor and Cameron. If he was a girl, his name would have been Taylor Marie.  For Kate is was between Kate and Kendall. If she had been a boy her name would have been Blake William.

4. Connor used to scoot backwards on his butt before he learned to crawl.

5. Connor loves to dance. He rocks side to side picking his feet up but not bending his knees. It makes me laugh because it looks a little like how Frankenstein would dance if he could. Anyway, he loves it when people dance with him, so he'll grab your hand and begin dancing wanting you to follow along. It looks halarious when we all do the Frankenstein dance in the kitchen.
