Connor meets Santa

This weekend we decided to get ready for Christmas since we are going to be out of town for Thanksgiving. Not only did we decorate the house we took Connor to see Santa Claus. Santa picked up Connor and started talking to him. Connor was not sure about all this and looked so scared. He would only laugh at Santa if he pulled out the stuff animal. Eventually Connor began to whine because he was ready to get away from Santa and back into the comfort of mommy and daddy's arms.

While Connor was on Santa's lap, Nick and I were by the photographer trying to get Connor to smile for the picture with bells and whistles. We finally got one picture and Connor was like I've had enough.



Santa gave Connor a candy cane and boy did he enjoy that! Thanks Santa!!

Connor's 1/2 Birthday

Birthday's are always memorable moments, and even though it was only Connor's 1/2 birthday we decided to celebrate because it was his first 1/2 and he is ALREADY 6 MTHS old - CRAZY!

Check out the fun he had!

Just Add Water

Growing up I loved water. I never got enough of water. I was on summer league swim team every year, then I joined FLEET which was a year round swim team program, and in high school I also was on Varsity swim team. So I was always in water, and even our vacations consisted of the beach, or swimming pools.

Therefore, I just knew my baby would be a water person too and it so happens that Connor loves the water as much as I did and still do. Over Memorial Day weekend we went to Galveston to visit Connor's Uncle Chad and had a beach day and poolside fun. Here are pictures of our experience!!!

Connor's Baby Dedication

At our church on Mother's Day they hold a special baby dedication. There were over 200 babies dedicated. It was so special and a day I will remember for a long time. Connor received a bible with his name on it and a certificate. Here are some pictures and a link to watch the dedication video - we are the third one announced on the 930 service. Enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day

Here is my mother's day gift from my sweet boy - Connor

Mommy loves you!!!

New Experiences

Connor is 4 months old today and he is like a sponge - soaks up everything. Nick and I enjoy just sitting there and watching him experience new things and new people. Don't get me wrong though he still has a temper but he can turn it on and off like a light switch. Its his attention getter!

New things:
1. He now does tummy time and lifts his head up so high
2. He is teething
3. He is laughing and giggling all the time
4. He recognizes mommy and daddy instantly and knows when they are around and not around
5. grabbing for toys
6. sitting in the bumbo chair - yay!
7. eating cereal and formula
8. loves to play Patty Cake (just giggles)
9. grabs toes
10. almost turning over

New fun toys:
1. exersaucer - bounces and plays all this kind of music
2. bouncy chair - hangs from doorway
3. Learn about your home - a gift from my students (so cool - very educational and lots of music)
4. swing for outside (he is getting next week from Mimi and Papa)

Connor is going to be one bright child and we can not wait for many more fun things to happen and the changes he will encounter. Here are some updated pictures from this past month - enjoy!
