Goose Egg

Since Conner has started walking he has avoided any major spills and accidents, until tonight. He was walking towards the end table towards one of his favorite objects, the lamp, and fell at the wrong moment. He hit is head right on the edge of the table causing a bright blue line across his forehead and the start of a goose egg. He started the no sound mouth open wailing, after about a minute the sound finally caught up and he was soo upset. He finally let me cuddle him and just cried into my chest. I felt so bad for him. Tonight I get to watch for signs of concussion, but luckily the nurse let me know that the forehead is the best place to hit your head because it is so hard. Hopefully my baby feels 100% better tomorrow and he does not have too big of bruise for his birthday party next week!

Videos for Grandpa

Conner's grandpa is out of town in Cambodia and Vietnam and has requested recent videos's of Conner so he can see him. So here are some random videos from the last couple of days!

Walking

I finally caught Conner walking. He has been taking a few steps here and there for about 3 weeks and just started initiating more walking on his own. This is inly a short video, but it is hard to get him in action and on camera when it is just him and I at home when Andrew is at work.

Where's the Baby?

Conner loves to play peek a boo, especially with his daddy. Any blanket, towel or shirt is used to hide and then re-appear. Such a clever, funny boy!

More Cute Pictures

I got an amazing camera for Christmas from my parents, and even though I am still learning how to use the camera, with such a cute subject, Conner makes it easy to take good pictures!

Conner's First Christmas

Conner had an amazing first Christmas and I can't believe it is already over. We started the day at our house and opened a couple of presents from Santa around 10am, as well as Andrew and my presents to each other. Conner was interested in playing with the paper some, but he would get distracted somewhat easily. Conner got a firetruck and a singing mailbox, as well as a Nutcracker from his Daddy.



Next step, we went over to our family christmas at my parent's house where the majority of presents were for Conner! His absolute favorite present was his fisher Price Learning Farm, some of his other favorites were his rocking horse, a walking toy from Grandma, and of course a lot of clothes!

After presents Conner was able to participate in a family tradition of Christmas Brunch with French Toast and Banana Fritters. He loved everything! He was so exhausted he took a 2.5 hour nap at grandma's house.

Dancing

Conner has loved to dance for awhile now, and anytime he hears music he is doing the baby butt dance. I finaly caught a little bit on video!
