Connor is growing up so fast. Every day he is changing. He doesn't crawl yet, but he really wants to. He manages to get around very quickly by doing his swat team crawl on his belly. We have figured out that you can't leave him unattended for too long because he gets into things. He has had his first taste of dog food. I am sure it is probably just as good as some of the baby food he eats. He has also investigated under the dresser in D.K.'s office...


His newest skill is reading the newspaper. You just have to make sure that you read it before he does! (For all of the McCain and Reynolds readers out there...he kind of looks like Brady in this picture to me.)

Connor turned 8 months old on the 5th. He gets "real food" (just puffs and teething biscuits) now. The teething biscuits are so dirty, but they give me a good 30 minutes of free time!

Wrong Way

D.K. and I went on our first date in 7 months last night! We know that is really sad. When we got home Connor was making some noble atempts at crawling, but he just can't seem to get it yet!

Swimming!

Ready to go...

Swimming like a fish...

Drying off...

Tuckered out...

I appologize for the long gap in updates. We have been in and out of town like crazy since Thanksgiving. I finally have some time...Connor is sleeping quietly...so enjoy!


Connor is 6 months old in these two pictures. In the first one he is very interested in...the tv. The boy loves Baby Einstein.



Connor can hold his own bottle now. It is great to be able to use that 20 minutes on cleaning the house. Occassionally I still hold him anyway because I just can't resist his sweet snuggles!

Connor turned 7 months old on the 5th of this month. His newest trick is sitting up! Sometimes he still goes tumbling, so Daddy is hovering nearby in the background. He is also very interested in the dogs now, Annie is content to lay with him and let him tug on her ears. Belle doesn't stay too close. She just comes in for a full face lick and then goes on her merry way!

Merry Christmas

It is hard to see Connor under the tissue paper, but I promise that is him. His favorite present was the paper!

Right now Connor is thinking...I wish I already had that crawling thing down!

This is just a little video for all of you from us to say "Merry Christmas!"

Cousins are Great!

We are visiting family in Houston, and it is good to see everybody again. The best part...babysitting is free when grandparents do it!
My parents kept all of the kids so D.K., Colette, Brian, and I could go out to eat last weekend. Camryn was a BIG help...



Brady usually doesn't want much to do with Connor. My siser is going to have a baby in December, and Brady is just not very happy about babies in general right now. I kept Brady for her yesterday so she could go to the doctor. He was actually really good with Connor. He even helped give him his bottle. However, neither one of them could tear their eyes away from the tv for even a moment! They will surely grow up to make the other members of their gender very proud.

Sitting Up

Connor is learning how to sit up. He loves this Bumbo chair that we borrowed from a friend. (D.K. and I can't wait to set it on the counter top and leave him unattended! We will be sure to sue the makers of Bumbo if he falls and hurts himself.) He really likes when he can see the t.v.
