08.08.10 ~ Connor at 11 Months Old ...

Connor is now 11 months old and I can't believe it ... he is such a sweet boy and we just love him so much ...

Connor loves to be outside, but doesn't like wearing his sun hat, as you can see ...

Connor prefers the sidewalk over the grass right now, so he will always crawl around on the cement - making sure to keep his knees up so they don't get scratched ...

Connor loves to be tickled - we do this tickling game every night in his crib before he goes to sleep. He loves it ...

Connor is also standing on his own when he feels like it. I bet he'll be walking in no time ...

Connor in his new carseat ... he is now big enough to face forward and he absolutely loves it ...

Lately, Connor has found his nose holes ... his finger frequently gets placed there and he loves to make noises while holding his finger in his nose because of the vibration feeling he gets on his nose ... try it ... I can see why Connor likes doing it ... :)

Connor still loves going on walks! We try to go every day and he is such a pleasant little traveler ...

Happy 11 months Connor! We love you!

08.06.10 ~ Family Visiting Colorado ...

My sister, Cami, and her husband, Taylor, and their little baby, Bridger, came to visit us in Colorado this past week. My sister, Aubrie, also tagged along, which was very fun to see her before she heads off to Utah State University in the Fall. Here are a few highlights from spending our week together ...

Taylor and Bridger ... we went on walks to the park just behind our complex when the weather was cooler in the early evening ... so fun ...

Cami and Bridger in downtown Denver ...

Aubrie and I downtown in Denver on 16th Street Mall ... We had dinner at "Mad Greens" and then took the babies home while Nate, Taylor, and Cami went to the Rockies game ...

Aubrie and I went on a walk around the temple grounds. It was so beautiful that I just had to take a picture of her in front of all the flowers ...

Aubrie, Cami, and I went to the pool in our complex almost every day. The weather was wonderful and Connor really enjoyed going to the pool so often ...

Cami and Taylor ... on the way up Pike's Peak ...

Connor (almost 11 months) and Bridger (almost 3 months) ...

Nate, Cami, and Taylor at the Rockies Baseball Game ... Aubrie and I stayed home to watch Connor and Bridger ...

Visiting Pike's Peak - at the summit ... We found out when we got there that baby Bridger could not go because he was not 4 months old yet (the air gets very thin at the top of the mountain), so I decided to stay behind with Connor and Bridger. I heard it was quite the adventure though - they went through huge hailstorms to get to the top and could hardly see in places as they drove through thick clouds ...
Thanks for coming to visit! It was a blast to spend some time with some of the Colton clan!
