Gymboree

Conner and I have joined Gymboree and Conner has an absolute blast. He just runs all over the place going up and down all of the obstacles laughing the whole way. My Dad came to class today and took some great pictures of Conner.

My Baby is 1!

Happy Birthday to my amazing little boy! You are now walking pretty much everywhere, falling every so often but getting right up again. You love to point at everything and ask what it is by grunting and looking at us. Peek a boo is still one of your favorite games, especially with your daddy's hat. You love to point at my nose and then your nose, my mouth and then your mouth continuing all over the face. Joe Joe our cat is your favorite friend and you absolutely delight when you can pat him or pull his tail. You are not such a fan when he catches you with his claws, but you keep going back for more. You still like to scare your parents by climbing on everything. You can move your toys around so that you can stand on the highest point, but somehow also know how to get down again. You don't have any words yet but you definitely understand what we say. You can wave 'Bye Bye' and give 'High Five'. You now have 10 teeth, including 2 molars that are coming in. I can feel another molar just under the surface. Even when you are teething you are such a happy boy with a great sense of humor. You turned 1 on Sunday Feb 28th and we held a big birthday party for you at Grandma and Grandpa's house. You have so many people that love and care about you that over 50 people RSVP'd to come. We had a firetruck theme with baloons and streamers. Lots of pizzas and veggies and fruit. Your favorite part was the 'Dump Truck' cake that Grandma made for you. You were tentative at first with the cake but then discovered the cookies in the back, the graham crackers and finally the cake and frosting until it was everywhere. After cake, it was a quick bath and present time. You had no interest in opening the presents but Mommy and Daddy helped out. You finally started getting interested once they were unwrapped, especially when Daddy took out a sit on Firetruck toy and you crawled right into the box that it was in - you love boxes! You had a great time and we are so happy to have you in our lives. We love you baby Conner!

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.
