I think the only thing I love about tornado season is ...

05.24.10 ~ Cute Videos of Connor ...

I have recently taken some cute video footage of Connor, and thought I'd share them with the rest of you. I take cute footage of him all the time, but whatever ...

05.23.10 ~ Trip to Utah ...

Connor and I just got back from visiting family in Utah for the past two weeks. It would have been the perfect trip if we both had not gotten really sick with a cold. I was sick for the majority of the trip, and Connor got sick towards the tail end of it. We are both doing a lot better now, but it was hard to be so sick when wanting to be with family and have a good time. We'll be back again soon for a friend's wedding though, so it's nice to know I will hopefully get a better trip in Utah coming up.

Here's a few highlights from the trip ...

Connor getting to spend time with cousins ...

Connor crawling ... he loved crawling after Rudy, the family dog ...

Connor in a swing for the first time ...

Watching soccer games ... and loving the water bottle ...

Getting to see my sister, Cami, and Taylor's baby, Bridger Weight ... He was born during my stay in Utah ...

I got to get Glitter Toes! These are so fun ...

Connor got to be as messy as ever, and Mommy didn't care ...

05.08.10 ~ Connor at Eight Months Old ...

My baby is growing up too fast! Here are some studio shots of Connor that were taken close to eight months old. I gave them to his grandmas for Mother's Day. He is absolutely adorable. He is starting to babble and find his voice, so to say. He is crawling now - he crawls on his knees and still "army crawls" as well. He is full of smiles and loves to be tickled and "thrown around" by his Daddy. Sometimes he will wave "bye-bye" and also give open-mouthed kisses - which are always slobbery and sweet. We just love him so much ...

04.29.10 ~ Connor Crawling Forward ...

So Connor has decided to crawl forward for the last couple weeks or so. He is currently doing the "army crawl" and is crawling all over our home. He is especially motivated when I put something shiny in his path - like an ice-cream scooper ...

04.28.10 ~ Connor Sleeping Lately ...

So I just had to post these pictures that I recently took of Connor. He has frequently been sleeping like this and has quite the obsession of peeking over his bumper pads and also trying to untie them and pull the pads off the crib ... He is becoming so curious and active - it's so fun to see ...
