Connor's first....sheep??

Yep, that's right! Connor met his first sheep this past Friday! During our weekly walk with Oma in Fort Saskatchewan, we came across the sheep mowing the lawn and decided to stop and take a look! We became concerned because one of the sheep wasn't in the pen with the rest of them, so Oma went to go find the shepherd to let her know, and by the time she got back, half the sheep were out!! They could climb right under the fence! We found out that they are allowed to roam all over that area, and the pen was more just a 'home base' for the sheep, and not actually a place for them to stay! Well, we felt kinda silly after that, but we were happy we could go right up and feed them!! Connor was quite interested in watching the sheep, but he didn't try to grab them like I thought he would!!






I have also started to get Connor to try and hold his own bottle. I figure this will help with the transition to sippy cup also. So far it's going pretty well! He has been trying to hold it himself for quite a while now, so I think he really enjoyed getting to do it mostly himself!

Today, we took some fun pictures of Connor with his rat Capone, and a few of Capone's little buddies! We are going to be sending off a Rat Pack to Becca and her five sons in Nanaimo BC!! She is a member of the January 2007 babies birth club on www.babycenter.com, just like me, and she saw some pictures of Connor with Capone, and had to see where we found him! Well, just this past week, Derek was working near Ikea, so he popped in to pick up a few more rats! I hope that Becca's boys have as much fun with them as Connor has, it is hands down his favorite toy!

We took a bunch of pictures, but here are my favorites:

We also tried using a bath seat with Connor today, but he is so tiny that when he leans over, his legs come right out of the seat, so I don't think it's very safe. I might as well still be in the bath with him, because I have to hold him all the time still. So, I am not sure what we will do for baths! He is too splashy for the baby bath, but I can't really play with him when we are both in the bath together, so we have to come up with something!

Things seem to be getting better on the sleeping front. He goes down much easier if I put him to bed around 9pm. So we will once again start moving bedtime earlier 15 minutes each week and see how that goes!!

Countdown to solids: 14 days!
