It's been a while...

It has been a whole week since I have posted! I don't think I have ever gone that long before, and I shall try not to do it again!

Not too much new has gone on this week, and yet it has been really busy!! Connor is getting much faster at crawling, and has become ever more curious! He loves opening and closing any and all doors, which makes for a fun game of peek-a-boo, but it sometimes leads to Connor locking himself in a room! It's hard for me to get in there to get him, because he will stand up at the door as soon as it's closed!!

He is also working on standing independently now, he will stand for a second or two if we steady him and then let go. He is also starting to let go when he has pulled up on something, and really trying to move from one object to another, even if they are pretty far apart, which needless to say, has lead to a few tumbles and bumps as of late!


Derek thought that Connor's tiny shoes parked by his toy were very cute, as do I! Sort of like the office worker who keeps a spare pair of shoes under their desk...

Connor's teeth are coming up nicely! I still wonder if he is getting another already, but it's seeming less and less like it these days...

Here's a couple pictures of Connor with his best pal, Leo!

Connor is down to one bottle a day, before bed. The rest of his formula he has from a sippy cup while doing laps around the house!

Crawl, crawl crawl, oh, here's my milk!

I am not sure how I will get rid of that last bottle, because Connor is sleepy so early, and goes to bed right after supper! He is now sleeping from 6pm to 7am, which makes it hard to get in sippy cup time after supper! But, he still only averages two 30-45 minute naps a day, so he needs all that night sleep!

Connor has discovered magnets! He likes to peel them off the fridge and stick them back on, over and over! Which is great, because it gives me a few minutes before he makes a beeline to the dog dishes!

And lastly, just a couple pictures I really like. I think Connor looks so sweet and innocent!

They aren't the best pictures, we should have put more planning in to it, but they are still pretty adorable!! I figure the background doesn't matter so much when you've got an extremely adorable subject!!

Happy First Halloween,Connor!!


I think Connor had a pretty good first Halloween! He really loved watching all the kids in their costumes come to the door, and of course, he got oodles of compliments!! The weather was beautiful, and we had a total of 137 trick or treaters this year!!!

This afternoon we popped out to see Oma and Opa so they could see Connor's adorable costume! I snapped a few photos of him in the carseat, because it was just too cute to have a cow in the carseat!!

And then, the weather was so beautiful, that we did an impromptu photoshoot in the yard. Here are MANY MANY pictures!!

Later that evening, once people started coming to the door, Connor watched for a bit from his high chair:

One mom who had a little baby dressed up as a chick, thought it was pretty amusing that the little cow was drinking milk!

I tried to get Connor to bed around 7pm, but the kids were too loud! They were singing Halloween songs and everything! So, Connor and Daddy nibbled on some chocolate(still in the wrapper, of course!)

And then Connor finally settled down to sleep, at about 8:30pm, when we turned of the porch light, and blew out the candles in the pumpkins;.

Oh right! - I can't forget to show you the pumpkins!!!

Late nights make for.....more late nights!

We have been very busy this week, and as a result, Connor has been up late for the past 4 days. Tonight I had no reason to keep him up, so I was determined to get him to sleep on time, and actually a little bit early! Connor's usual bedtime is somewhere between 6:00pm and 6:30pm, but in order to catch him up from the last few nights, I had him in bed by 5:45pm today. He was very tired and went to sleep easily, but shorty after 7pm he woke up and was not able to get back to sleep, no matter what we tried! So, we figured we'd get him up for a little while, and let him help with the pumpkin carving!

He gets really silly when he's tired! Here is a little video of Connor and Daddy being silly. (You can hear Daddy in the background.)


And here are just a few pictures taken yesterday:
