Connor's New Hats

Connor loves playing with all of the pajamas in his pajama drawer. The past two days he has decided that his pjs would make great hats. This was the first night when we were in the basement and he walked around the corner looking like this-
And then kept wearing it while playing in the ball pit-
Today I was outside working in the yard and looked in to see this through the window. Colin changed Connor's diaper and Connor told him- "No pj pants" but then when he got down he decided to wear them, on his head-

15 month check up

Monday Connor went for his 15 month check up- even though we're over 16 months old. He had a great appointment and got a few "owies" but they were "all gone" by the end of the day. He is now 32.5" tall (85% ) and 23lb. 8 oz. (under 50%)- tall and skinny but very healthy!
This is the first time that he hasn't had a reaction to the shots- usually a full day of feeling yucky. I don't know if it was the new Elmo doll from Daddy, the chicken nuggets and ice cream on the way home or the blue sucker the nurse gave him that helped the most.
His blue smile-
Yea! Connor picked a winner!!

Itsy Bitsy Connor

Connor had a great Halloween. He was a very warm itsy bitsy spider with a padded costume, hat and tights! He went trick or treating at mom's school and the courthouse during the morning and then down the street in the evening. Lots of trick or treaters stopped by (120 this year) and at one time with four little ones and eight adults plus the three of us in the living room Connor yelled- "More kids!" He loved all the visitors.
Clapping with the extra legs-
Doing the motions to the song while in costume- he called himself "Itsy Connor"

The view from the back- Connor loves license plates-
Oops, itsy fell down-

Pumpkin Patch

Today we took advantage of the wonderful weather and went to the pumpkin patch. Connor loves reading his book where Biscuit the dog goes to the pumpkin patch. He was very excited to see all the pumpkins (and even one dog, although it definately wasn't Biscuit).

Connor was kissing the pumpkins-
This is the closest we got to getting Connor to stand still by the growth chart. I hope everyone enjoys seeing that Colin is right at 6 ft.
Connor got to see the goats. He looks very brave here but when it came time to feed the goats he was much more comfortable just watching mom and dad feed them.
Look at the pigs, but we didn't pet or feed them- they bite!
Ride on a hayride with mom and dad-
Ride the cow train with mom (and yes, it was just as comfortable as it looks)-
Have dad pull me around in the wagon-
Go through the corn maze-Whew- after all that a nap sure sounds good!


But not before I get my own pumpkin to hold on the ride home!

The "Jayhawk trick"

Maybe this is cute enough to make everyone laugh and take some of the sting out of last night's game (ignore the tall grass, isn't it late in the year to still be mowing?) -

Homecoming (Last Week)

Many of you have already seen one of these pictures since it was in the Daily Guide last week. Connor went with mom to some Homecoming activities last week and got caught by the paparazi. Actually, our friend Chris was there taking pictures and she took a bunch of Connor playing around on the turf, the track and with the tiger.

This expensive turf sure is fun to play on!
Come here Tiger, come here....
Oh, what a silly tiger.
The famous picture featured in The Daily Guide, high five tiger-

And we gently pet the tiger's nose....Mom's job rocks- she gets to work with this Tiger every day?


Now Tiger, get me!

Connor's Baptism

Here are a few pictures from Connor's baptism two weeks ago. He was baptized in the same church his mom was- the Fortuna United Methodist Church. It's a very small church (Doug was very impressed by the numbers from the Sunday School sign). The service was beautiful and very special since all 4 grandparents and his great-grandma were able to be there along with the church family that helped raise his mom.
