Connor videos from Brian's phone...

These videos are both from yesterday. I think he is feeling a lot better, but his nighttime habits have taken a step back....he's entered into the uncontrollable cry the last 2 nights...
This morning when he got up, I asked him to turn on the light in his room and he had to move the stool...he found it, carried it over to below the switch and very carefully positioned it completely up against the wall and proceeded to turn the light off and on for a good 30 seconds....so proud!

Connor video...test

Can anybody watch these that is not on Facebook??? (I went ahead and let "only friends" view them on FB)

A day in the life....video.

This is not exactly an exciting video...just about 2.5 minutes of a normal evening. Connor (pre-haircut) just goes from one thing to the next. It starts with him and a full bag of pears. I'm still not sure how he got them off the counter???

16 month pictures

So, I know he is 17 months old now, but it took me forever to get the pictures scanned. Nonetheless, here is the little man....so big now!

Just for the record....I despise the gray background curtain and Connor was quite the beast getting his picture taken on this particular day in late December. He was running everywhere and would NOT sit still. Most of the pictures the lady took were action shots. If only she would have been willing to go behind the curtain to take the pictures, she would have gotten some really cute ones...he was having a ball back there.

—————————

Oh, and I don't think I ever posted these either. Here he is at 11 months. If you compare the 2 sets of pictures, you'll notice he still doesn't have any "friends" for those bottom two teeth. I think it is crazy that he has 4 molars before anymore up front on the bottom!

These were taken about 2 weeks before his first haircut. :)

misc. late January

I stepped out of the room for a minute, and when I came back Connor took over my work. :)

I only had to correct of few of the alterations he made to my design!
Maybe he'll be a MacMan when he grows up? :)

new favorite toy...the exercise ball

squealing with delight!

reading Dizzy Dragon with Daddy. I just found the rest of the "Charlie Monkey" books at TJMaxx and Marshalls. There are 4 total and Connor was so excited. Charlie Monkey is by far his favorite book.

future pianist??

hard at work in the sand at the Children's Museum

Ayka visits us in Michigan

Just pictures for now...will add explanation later.

Connor plays Hockey!

Maybe I'll get to be a "pitbull hockey-mom". :)

The lake in our backyard has been frozen for a while now. (Although I wouldn't go out today because it was a balmy 39º!!)

A few doors down a bunch of the guys got busy with their snowblowers and created a very big rink. We attempted to do the same in our backyard, but just with shovels and it kept snowing! Anyway, we all went down to check it out and I even skated a bit. We all need to get our own skates.

Ian played hockey in college and has taught kids before, so we will definitely be hitting him up to teach Connor in the future! What can we say, Connor just looks like a natural. :)

Bathtime Mohawk.

A few bathtime pictures from when Brian treated C to a bubble bath....complete with a mohawk. The kid has SO MUCH hair, and it needs to be cut, yet again.
