Oh yeah...these pics too.

Hey.  Friends.  Hello.
My sister informed me that I neglected to post pictures from Christmas morning.  Silly me.  So, here.  :)

The elves made me this SWEET car ramp thing.  Love it.

What up.  Merry Christmas.

They also built me a metal dumptruck, named "Tonka."  ;)

"Cheese."  (Thanks, Grandpa Steve, for the cheesy grin!!)

In other happenings, I have succeeded in protesting just enough to convince Mom to get rid of my "baby" chair.  Turns out making your body go stiff as a board and then bucking backward to bang your head repeatedly on the chair can convince your Mother that you will eventually get a concussion.  THEN she will give in and give you want you want.  So, in case you needed tips.....there you go.  My little trick.  ;)

So this is how I eat now.  Insert large sigh from Mama.

I can hardly see over my bowl, but I prefer it that way. 

Also, in my grand old age of now 19 months, I have finally taken to reading.  Sorta.  It's extra fun if you're as naked as possible.

Another new favorite pastime of mine is brushing my teeth.  I don't really care whose toothbrush I'm using, and I prefer to switch it up.  Emily's, Daddy's....(can't reach Mom's...yet)....they're all game.  Mom says it's not typically socially acceptable to use other people's toothbrushes, but whatever Mother.  I make up my own rules.  You should know this by now.  ;)

That's it for now.  I'm out.  Talk to ya.

December and Christmas Pics!

What up friends.

Is that how I start all my blog posts? Maybe I need to get more creative and say, " 'Sup, Homies??" or "Greetings, Earthlings," or perhaps even, "Yo. I'm in." Or, today, I could jazz things up and say, "Tray tables up, let's GO!" Go meaning to goooooo update my blog that I haven't' updated in two months. Jeesh. So, 'nuf talking, let's get to the pics!

The Fam.  

Good pic of Sis.  Haha.

Not sure what's up with the lighting but whatever.

Me eating a "Cook!  Cook!!"  I. Adore. Them.  See the love on my face??  Yup.

Some of my new favorite toys...CHUCK AND FRIENDS!!!  Thank you Grandma Jo!!

At Gran and Grandpa's (Papa's) House.  With Max.  Another object of affection for me.  

Though, sadly, I'm not sure my love is returned.  :(

At this moment, I was likely informed that it was time for Max to "go to sleep."  Orrr....get locked in Gran and Grandpa's room.  So, so sad.

Onto Christmas #4 in Junction City with Uncle Francis.  He had candy canes.  I'm a big fan of these as well. 

Seeeeee???  YUM!!

After Christmasing with Grandma Jo, Mom and Dad, Gran, Grandpa and Uncle Dan, and Uncle Francis, The Sister and I took some time off to play while we waited for a few weeks to pass until we could Christmas it up a 5th time with our Uncle David and Future Aunt Meg.

Emmy on her Leapster, me drawing a.....line.

Tea Parties.

Finally, it was time.  Christmas #5 was upon us.  It started out with an important question...

"Connor, will you be our ring bearer??"

My response?  "Is that a cookie?  Dudes, I'll do whatever you want me to do if you just hand over that cookie."  ;)

So, alas, Christmas to the 5th power.  And I missed it.   

Not even my cute hat would wake me.

And when I DID finally wake, it took me a while to, well, warm up to the camera.  And my Uncle.

Presents helped. 

Cars helped.

Hanging with my Papa helped.

And our coats were appreciated as well.  ;)

I got out of my funk and very much enjoyed playing, well, I guess you could call it a game of "Fetch" with Uncle David.  That's him in the ladies' face mask and middle finger skull gloves.  Yup.  (And that's me in the hat, in case you needed help.)

I also loved playing Hungry Hungry Hippo with The Grandparents and The Sister. 

And hanging out with Uncle Dan.

Until...well...dudes, I AM 18 months.  It's hard to hold it together sometimes, you know??  

That's it for now.  I'm out.  Gonna get my Mom to help me with these sideways pictures.  Annoying.  What's up with that, Blogger???  

Talk to ya.

Oh, look, FALL!

Whoa People.

I was quick checking my blog to see when the last time I posted pictures was, and, uh, whoops, looks like the last ones I posted were all summer pics! Sorry about that, friends. Let's get to some, shall we??

Let's start with pictures from when I was 14 months. Can you believe, that was August 24 until September 23?? Already a crazy long time ago...

Reading! I'm finally starting to show an interest in books. :)

Love my shirt, do you? Yeah, so does my Dad.

Celebrating Gran's Birthday!!

Being silly with Daddy

I love him. See how we have the same eyes?

Wheeeee!!!

Love my trucks and my blocks!

Lookee what I can do....

TaDa!!

What? I thought I was helping??

15 month pictures:

Happy Birthday to Daddy!!

Visiting a farm in Charlotte. It was a beautiful day for a visit!

At the Pumpkin Patch. Hmmm....this pumpkin or this pumpkin....I can't decide!

We visited the Charlotte Nature Museum - LOVED playing in the water!!

I know. I'm big. Can you believe how fast it happened?

I have turned into quite a dog lover. My parents are in big trouble the minute I realize I can have one of these for real in my house. :)

Hanging at the Pumpkin Patch with Daddy!

16 Months: October 24-November 23

Playing on pillow mountains with The Sister.


Not sure what this toy is, but it was fun. Mommy seemed happy we were interested in it. ;)


Exploring yet another Pumpkin Patch!


Hahaha Daddy! Try to walk!


Lately I'm a BIG fan of driving. Ask Mommy. I waaaaay prefer to sit in the driver's seat rather than my carseat. All. the. time. I'm pretty vocal about it too. And by vocal I mean loud. And by loud I mean thrashing and screaming. Every. Single. Time. ;)


At our Playgroup's Halloween Party. Uh, nice face, sister...


When we got home, we found out Daddy had completed step #1 of our Kitchen Remodel, which was Operation Put Connor's Birthday Present Together. So, 4 months after my birthday, I got THIS! :) I love it!!


Costume #1 for Halloween. Here I am at my Kindermusik Halloween Party. Hard to tell in this picture, but this costume is waaaay small.


Had a great time though and got lots of good loot!


Costume #2, Halloween Night. Mommy abandoned the Lion Costume and had me where the one she had planned for Emily. Luckily it was warm enough and Emily was able to wear her Belle costume all night, leaving this one for me!


Happy Halloween to US!


Belle decided she was done with pictures, so I got a great pic with just my Mom and Dad. You know, I'm not sure there are many pictures that exist with just the three of us.


Trick-or-Treating in style! It was such a nice night, people were greeting us on their front porches with candy instead of staying inside. Our warm fall has been awesome!!

Hope you enjoyed the update! Happy Fall!!!
