10 Months

Yummy black beans

Breakfast in bed for my birthday... with hot chocolate, Cody knows me well!

Conner's turn for strawberries

Conner was ready for a nap so he put his hear down to rest.  This is also what he does when he is mad.

I love coming in to find this cute boy standing in his crib after nap time.

Four new pairs of shoes for my birthday!

Conner exploring at grandma's house

Can't help but smile when I see my happy boy!

Practicing on Opa's guitar.  Notice his guitar shirt too.  Too cute

My new table finally came... Last birthday preset from Cody, but it came without the hardware.  We ate like this for a couple of days.

Playing catch with Grandma.  Conner's favorite game.

1. I love his overalls 2. I love how he can entertain himself with anything.

Conner dropped something in the toilet while I was in the kitchen so he decided to try to fish it out himself.

We make sure the bathroom door is always closed now.

• 10 Months old
• He is a master crawler now... didn't take long to get that down.
• I like having a crawler.  Yes he gets into things like the toilet and pulls on cords or shelves that he shouldn't and the stairs scare me... but it is so great that he just follows me everywhere I go around the house.  I don't have to carry him everywhere.
• If you hadn't noticed, he has grown quite a bit of hair in the last few months
• He does 2 of the 3 actions to Klapus in de haunches
• He knows a brush is for your hair and socks go on your toes.  He know to beep Opa's nose.
• He also knows that if he wakes up at night he gets a bottle... we need to work on that one
• He started signing "More" today... I thought we were going to have to give up on sign language.  But he says "Ma Ma" too when he signs, so maybe we should skip the signing and go strait to talking. 

Christmas Part 2

Between our Christmas Eve festivities Cody and I put together this gingerbread house.  You can see Cody's perfectionism at work!

Christmas Morning.  Conner found some treats in his stocking.  We should have saved the stocking for last because he was not interested in anything else after her found his treats.

I was telling the truth when I said Conner was getting a wrapped box for Christmas!  It was a hit as expected.

Christmas at Grandma's

Cody got a flying Helicopter!  His favorite gift... but it only lasted one day...

It's a tradition to wear the clothing you received for Christmas for the rest of the day.  Dad is sporting his new sweater and his new bike shorts.

My happy happy boy at grandma's Christmas Night.

By this time he was a pro at unwrapping!

Here are the pictures I took of Conner on his nine month birthday... You will notice I had a hard time getting him to hold still long enough

This picture is from Christmas Eve... Silly boy. 

The aftermath of Christmas

We played the Candy Bar/Gift Card game with my family after breakfast.  Everyone was a winner!

Conner and Wyatt.   Wyatt thinks his cousin is crazy "Why can't you just sit still like me?"

Cute boys

How many Cheerio's and bananas can you fit in YOUR mouth? 

• Conner loves to run around the house and chase mom or dad.  
• He thinks it is so funny to scare dad
• He has discovered his tongue and likes to make cute noises with it
• He is good at sharing.  He takes my glasses of and gives them right back to me.
• We recently tried Mandarin oranges... he cannot eat them fast enough
• He plays in his room by himself really well... he has started to explore though, army crawling into every room, even down to the kitchen to find me.

A little out of order again.  Christmas Eve at Great Oma and Opa's.  Conner almost pulled the Christmas tree down a couple times.

Dad and Brooke's performance was awesome!

Cody and I hit it up Ice Racing redneck  style with Shane, Payton, and Devin

Crawling in the bathtub, not the greatest idea but he had fun trying.

Playing with Daddy... He is the BEST!

This cutie knows how to take all the wipes out.  Great entertainment!

I love this picture!  Remember this little boy... just 3 days old!

We took family pictures in December.  Love my family!

After pictures we ate at Teppanyaki.  Our table was perfect!  Righting next to this awesome mirror.

My phone doesn't take as good of pictures are I thought I did!  We finally met Lyla!  She is a doll. 

First Christmas present from Brandy, his babysitter

Conner likes to hide and play under beds

Conner and Opa at our New Years Eve Party!

Trying on his wooden shoes.  I bet they fit perfect next year
