On the move...

Well, almost. Connor is sitting up really well and that helps him enjoy playing with his new toys.

He really wants to crawl but everything isn't working together quite yet. His main motivation is trying to chase Tiger around. He gets down on his hands and knees and moves everything as fast as he can. It won't be long! Mom is hoping that he waits until Dad can put some weight on his foot before we're too mobile.






Connor now gets to go grocery shopping with mom. This is a picture of his first trip to pick up supplies for our New Years Day/Cotton Bowl brunch.




Connor's cousin Harrison came to visit this weekend. Connor was VERY interested in Harrison. Harrison was VERY interested in Tiger and Tiger LOVED the treats that Harrison fed him.
Think Connor's jealous of Dad's attention to Harrison?

My First Christmas

Connor had a very exciting Christmas. He was a natural at opening his presents and got lots of great stuff. He got to practice twice before Christmas morning- once at Versailles and once in Fortuna. By Christmas morning he was ready to go! That didn't last too long and he had to take a nap before finishing opening his gifts.
Two days after Christmas he had his 6 month check up where he weighed in at 19 lbs. and is now 27 inches long.

First present on the 23rd at Versailles:

Quick update on dad and his ping pong injury:
After surgery on the 18th and getting his cast on the 31st he is doing much better. He'll be on crutches with the cast and no weight on it until January 31. Then the cast comes off and he'll get a boot. Everyone went back to work today so hopefully the time will go by quickly and he'll be back on his feet (and changing diapers) in no time!
