Easter, Grandpa, Birthday Party

He wore this hat for about 30 seconds, but I got a picture before he ripped it off.

This was right before our family walk to grandma's house.  He was so excited!  He forgot he was wearing a hat and   

accidently wore it the whole time :)

Easter and Great Grandma's house.  He would have rathered just play with the dirt.

Checking for goods

Brooke looking through the kids piles for the good stuff.

After hunting eggs we went to visit Great Grandpa in the hospital.  Conner really wanted to play up in this window seal, but Opa wouldn't have it.  He is afraid of heights and was sure Conner would break the glass and fall 10 stories down.

So glad we got to visit with Grandpa on Easter.  This was the last time we saw him.  He passed away just  two days later from a bleed in the brain.  He had a bad fall a couple weeks before this picture and we think he had had a slow bleed ever since.  We miss him but are so glad he to know where he is and that he is happy and out of pain.

Conner in his Sunday best on Easter.

We are loving that he is big enough to ride his bike now.  Grandma has had this bike since before Conner was born.  He loves it!

Wyatt and Conner 11.5 months!  Wyatt really wanted to be friends, but Conner wasn't so sure.  Can you tell them apart? We had some family ask who was who.

Conner likes pizza!

Grandpa's funeral.

Happy Birthday to my sweet Cody!  Aren't these two the cutest!

Here is the Green Eggs and Ham and Cupcakes

Conner had lots of helpers to open his gifts.  We had so much fun!

He would have eaten the whole thing!  He just sat back and shoveled it in bite by bite.

Eva cleaning up after Conner.  She is the cutest!

Me and Brooke

• My one year old took his first steps on his birthday!  Good thing, we didn't want to miss that while we are gone on our trip next week.
• I know I say something about his sleep every month, but he is sleeping great all night, going to bed later now that the sun stays up later.  About 9pm-8am on the days we get to sleep in.  On Monday mornings he gets to go to grandma's and go back to bed with her.  I am a little jealous that he will fall asleep in her arms.  That never happens to me any more.
• The garage door used to scare him.  Now he gets excited because it means someone is home!
• Conner is all boy, he loves his trucks and he loves his basketball hoop he got for his birthday and knows exactly what to do with it.
• He gets so excited to show off his walking.  He starts moving those legs before he is ready.  He is the cutest!
• We are going to the Doc today so I will post his stats later.

March

Conner brushing his hair before church... what a smarty pants!

These girls did great at Young Women region basketball!  We took 2nd place.

After church playing with sticks outside.

My cute boy in his dad's 4th of July outfit that grandma made.  Cody wore this when he was 15 months.  Conner is 11 months.

We have a tummy sleeper!  We love going in to watch him sleep at night.  He is the cutest.

First Delta trip of the year.  Cody and dad worked hard on the new deck and Conner's new sandbox!

Conner and I played in the sand out side while everyone else worked.

The things grandparents do for their grand kids!  Conner got his own personal sand box!  He LOVES it!

Here comes trouble.  He found out that it's pretty cool to stand backwards in the stroller, way cooler then sitting forward the regular way.

Playing at the park in the wood chips.

My big boy is 11 months old!

• He has been crawling like a champ for a while now.  He is pulling up on everything he can and walking along the couches and everything else
• He loves playing catch
• Conner always has something to say these days, can't wait till we can understand him
• We finally put locks on the cabinets because he loves to empty them.
• Can't believe my baby will be one in two weeks!

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.
