1, 2, 3...There are two new blogs, be sure to check them both.

I must say, I had more pictures to share than I realized. Also we forgot to tell you about Connor's new cousin, Elijah. Eli was born on Saturday, June 21st to my sister Jennifer and her husband John, everyone is doing well and getting adjusted just fine (I'm actually quite jealous, seroiusly all this baby does is eat and sleep). I guess what babies are supposed to do, but I don't feel like things were that easy with Connor.
Baby Eli, yawning after his long trip.
Connor chewing on celery, he absolutely loves it.

Here is a little langiape, and the sweetest laugh ever. The video is a little long, but I think you'll enjoy it. Be sure to check out Connor's arms at the end.

Ta Da...an updated blog!!!!

July 20th, as promised to my dear friend Michele...the newest mom to be for the second time around, an updated blog. Sorry guys, I really tried updating earlier, but had some downloading issues. So, to catch you up. At six months Connor was sitting up on his own, seven months crawling very well, followed closely by pulling to a standing position. He will walk while holding on to the furniture and eight months to the day his first tooth popped out. Connor will be nine months on the 25th, and now has two teeth, explores every room that has an open door, wants to eat whatever the adults are eating, loves swimming, and has the best laugh that you'll ever hear. Here are some of my most recent pictures.

April 20th...A Day at the Zoo

Connor had his first trip to the zoo at just about 6 months. I think Marcos and I enjyed it a little more than he did, but he was great. He sat in his stroller all day just taking in the sights. The day was beautiful, and we had been talking about joining the zoo, but we were going to wait until Connor got a little older but the day was too nice to pass up, so our journey began.
Is this the life or what?
Connor and Dad...Connor had his zoo outfit on (there were lions and monkeys, ect on his outfit) Like father, like son.
Where's Connor?
It's been a long day. We were looking at the beautiful leopards and turned around and somone was knocked out!

Connor's favorite time of the day

April 18th...is the day these videos were taken. A couple of days before I had to go buy Connor a new bathtub, because he simply wasn't fitting in the old one...I can't imagine why! Connor started to like his baths after six weeks, now that he can sit up when he is taking a bath he absolutely loves them. I hope you enjoy the videos!

A day in the life of Connor...Wakes up approximatetly 7:00am, eats his cereal, half of a container of veggies and half a container of fruit, plays for about 1 1/2 -2 hrs then takes a nap. Naptime- it has gotten a little better, now we go lay in mommy and daddy's bed with a NUK and goes to sleep on his own (sometimes he is still in the playing mode and needs to be persuaded by mom to nap). The length of naps are hit or miss, sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes 2hrs (which doesn't happen often). Then we repeat the cycle of eating, but a 5oz bottle this time. He gets food twice a day and just bottles twice a day, with a bigger bottle mixed with cereal for bedtime. After his 4 o'clock feeding he plays for a while, gets no nap, takes a bath, and goes to bed around 7pm, sleeps through the night until 7am, when we start all over again.

Easter Sunday

March 23rd - Connor spent Good Friday at my dad's camp on South Pass. He had his first boat ride, it didn't go over great, he did not like weaing a life jacket. Other than that we had a great day. Sunday we went to MeMe's for Easter Dinner. Connor has been very active lately. He likes playing on the floor, he is pushing up on his hands and knees, and scooting...just not in the right direction. He has been very vocal and loves to laugh. Our last visit to the doctor's office he was 17lbs and 11oz, yes a little chunky monkey.

Connor's Christening

This was a busy week for the whole family. The past Sunday was Connor's Christening, and he did great. Connor was baptized at St. Louis Cathedral, it was beautiful, and Connor was even blessed by the Bishop. He was very well behaved throughout the ceremony. Afterward we had a fish, oyster, and shrimp fry at our house. It was a beautiful day to be outside and I think everyone had a great time. Sorry I don't have a lot of pictures, I barely made it through the day. The night before was our girlfriend Julie Heitzmann's bachorlette party, and lets just say things got a little crazy. I owe a big thanks to Michele for helping me out the day of the baptism, we would have missed the whole ceremony if it wasn't for Shane calling and waking everyone up (including Connor). Our next big milestone is next week...Connor will be five months already!

These are the legs I was talking about...the doctor asked if the Michelin man blew up his legs.

More than just milk!!!

This past Sunday, March 2nd Connor got his first taste of rice cereal. It was mixed with Gerber apple juice so he loved it! He is only getting it mixed with juice once a day (first thing in the morning) and his last bottle of the night has a couple of scoops in it too. It's funny because he makes a weird face for the first couple of spoonfuls, then he can't get enough. Sorry we don't have a video, our card is almost out of space, we got it on the camcorder, but I can't download it. I hope you enjoy the pictures anyway. Oh, I started putting Connor in his bed today for naps, he only sleeps there for about 45 minutes though. I guess it's better than nothing.
First bites of cereal. Future Tulane grad...like father like son!

I had to add this pic, about 75% of the day Connor sits with his entire fist in his mouth, still making noises, and drool everywhere. Smiley boy
My future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.
