Summer, Pre-Birthday

Ah, friends. It's the good life now, people. Alas, I am one. Bring on the car keys. Orrr....uh...sippy cups and whole milk. :) So I've been too busy playing with The Sister and running 105.4 temps (yup - feel sorry for me) to really sit down here at the computer to get this blog my Mom makes me do updated. Jeesh. Chores. Anyway, instead of rambling on and on, just gonna share the pics and then give you the deets that way. Cool? Ok...

The water table. I love it. Also love drinking the water. Good thing Mom fills it fresh from our kitchen faucet each time we play.

Waiting for breakfast, in my jams.

What's that? You think I could be the next Bachelor?? I'll have to look into it...

Bowling with The Sister. FYI, people: Bowling is BORING. (Well, when you're little like me.)

With our playgroup friends. I was really interested in what Ella was doing with her hands. :)

Our very classy "stairgate." Mom and Dad think they're clever. Thing is, though, I maneuver around it every day. Bwahaha!!!

Maybe I will give those Bachelor people a call....I AM pretty handsome... ;)

Picking blueberries on a gorgeous summer day!

And eating them too! (Although, the picture does not do the messiness of my face any justice.)

The beginning of June brought The Plague to our house. A really horrible bug hit my Mom, The Sister, and myself in three different ways: Bronchitis for Mom, high fevers & vomiting in The Sister, and SUPER high (105.4) fevers in me with double ear infections. The bug also hit my Gran, my Godfather, and two of my Mom's cousins. It was ruthless!! Somehow, Daddy just got a minor cough - whew!!

Soon, we were finally better, and ready to celebrate Father's Day! Happy Father's Day, Daddy!!

Well, we WERE better. Then my molars started coming in. Can't win, you know?

Coming soon to my blog - my birthday pics! Here's a teaser - at Kindermusik a few days before my birthday, I got to wear a birthday sticker and had Happy Birthday sang to me for the VERY FIRST TIME. I loved it. :)

Happy Birthday Connor!!

Happy Birthday to Our Sweet Little Man! We love you Connor. Soon I will post pictures of your last few weeks before your birthday. Your last month before turning one was definitely eventful, as you caught a virus from Mommy and spiked a fever as high as 105.4 and ended up with double ear infections. Poor little guy!

We love you Connor!! Happy Birthday!!

EASTER!

So, other than Mother's Day and Father's Day, I celebrated my last big holiday for the first time. Once June 24th hits, it's "been there, done that" people. That's right, yo, my birthday is getting CLOSE! But, alas, I digress. Let's concentrate on THIS post, huh?

So, Easter. In the prior post, I spoke to you about Scary Bunny. Enjoy his picture below. Hope it doesn't bring you nightmares. ;) Also, enjoy some pics of me looking at some fun, new Easter gifts with Grandma Jo, pics of me, my sis, and my Dad playing with our house we got as an Easter gift from Gran and Poopaw, and then a pic in my Easter clothes (taken 8 days after Easter, but sshhh! don't tell anyone!). Enjoy!!

The Bunny. Yup.

Hanging with my Dad at The Hunt.

Exploring my Easter treats from Grandma Jo.

Now that's a cute bunny in that book! :) I love you Grandma Jo!

And I make a HANDSOME bunny! :)

Playing with my Dad and Sis in our new house, Easter afternoon. LOVE IT!

Daddy is so silly!

Mom thinks I look ridiculously old in this picture!!

:) Just a fun pic. And, oh, see my some of my hair is finnnnnallllly laying down? And is it laying or lying?? I haven't quite learned that....I am only 10 months now you know...

Happy Me! Happy Easter!

April Round-up!

Hey Friends.

How are you? So, April was here. And now it's gone. It was fun though! My big thing this month? Standing. On. Everything. Mommy says she thinks I stand more during the day than crawl. It's possible. I love it and I do it wherever, whenever I can. And?? That includes my bed. I usually like to stand up to protest my nap, but that is starting to get old, since Mommy just keeps laying me down saying, "Good night Connor. I love you." Man, that makes me mad, and I make sure she knows it too. But, eventually I give in and go to sleep. Eventually being the key word. ;) Anway...what else? Oh, we had Easter! Dudes. There was this huge, really scary-looking bunny at this Egg Hunt I went to with my family. My mom made me sit with said bunny. She is crazy. But I put up with it and plan to have words with my Mom about it, as soon as I, uh, learn how to talk. Right now I really just say, "Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma!!!" So, I still have to learn the words "Bunny," "Scary," and "Crazy." ;) Oh yes, I can also crawl up the stairs all. by. myself. My mom loves it. I know. Ask her. She'll tell you. ;)

Enjoy these pictures from April! And watch for a separate Easter post with, yup, Scary Bunny.

Talk to ya.
Connor

Just like his sis, he loves the swings!

Mom. Can I help fold Emmy's laundry??

Or....can I load the dishwasher??

Or....perhaps you would like me to fly you away to some tropical destination?? I'm here to help, Mom. You just let me know.

Hey. Mom. Where're the wine bottles that are supposed to go in here???

I'm BIG!

You think I could take a bath?? Huh??

Mama. Did you know another baby lives in your closet??? WHOA!

Demonstrating my bed skills for Dad after a bath.

Me.

Godzilla Connor attacking Traintableville. So sad.

The destruction. FEMA and the Red Cross arrived soon after this picture was taken.

Moving, Moving, MOVING!

What up, my friends.

So, since that glorious day when I learned to crawl, I am everywhere, people. I kinda make my mom's head spin. My favorite obsession?? The computer. Mommy usually keeps it on the floor. Until recently, anyway. I love it when she slips up and leaves it out, because I kick it into high gear and grab that thing as fast as I can. I looooove all the buttons!! Also? Standing. It. Is. Cool. And I like to do it All. The. Time. I'm so sick of being left behind on the floor - it's time I got to standing and walking like the rest of the people in my house! Enjoy these special pictures!

The first time I pulled myself up to standing! Go ME!

"Do you think I could just quick check Facebook?? Thanks."

Sooo....this is the Art Table, huh? Nice.

Mmmm....Mandarin Oranges.


Accepting a bottle from The Sister. She pulled the kitchen chair up to the sink and made a bottle for me with minimal help from Mommy. (insert big SIGH and an "Awesome," from Mommy)

I love my Big Sis!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hey all!
Celebrated my FIRST St. Patrick's Day today. Happy Feast Day to ME! To celebrate, I slept all night and Mom came to check on me at 8 am. There I was, just chillin', sitting in my bed. Dudes - crawling takes a lot out of ya. ;)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Guess Who's on the Move?!

What up friends. So, it happened. I figured it out. I am a MOVER. Yup, that's right, I can CRAWL! Dudes, I've been waiting for this moment my whole life. All 8 1/2 months of it. And, my main target?? The computer. I want it. And I WILL have it. I just have to wait for that perfect moment when my mom isn't on to me. (Aaaaand, I will probably repeat that statement a million times in my life.) ;) So, here's a video. And some pictures too. Because I'm cute and all that. Oh yeah - the same day I learned to crawl, I learned how to sit up in my bed. I decided to show Mom when she came to feed me at 5 am - I was all, "Yo. Hey Mom. Could I get some food? And, oh yeah, here's me sitting up in bed. Cool, huh?" Life is getting exciting, people! I have a looooong list of Emily's stuff that I'm after. I'm just waiting for the perfect moment. But, her lipsticks that she keeps in her purse?? They're mine, people. MINE. Stay tuned.

Are you smitten yet?!

Sigh. Uber preppy outfit. Moth-errrrrrrrrrrr.

Happy Birthday to Grandma Jo!

Ladies? Tell me. Tell me your troubles. I'm here to listen.

Mo-om. What's the big deal? So I'm sitting in my bed. So what?!

More with the preppiness. Someone help me.

ME!

Playing Catch with Emily. Well, at least that's what I THOUGHT we were playing. She apparently thought we were playing, "Tease Connor endlessly but never let him have the ball." Gah. Sisters.
