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!

We did some ice skating new years day

That tongue!  Loves playing in the blinds.

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

• Nine Months Old!
• 29" Long (92%)
• 21 LBS (60%)
• 18"  Head Circumference (98%)
• This boy is the light of our lives.  He makes us laugh and smile everyday!
• Conner is not officially crawling yet but he army crawls like a master!
• He finally got two teeth!  Loves eating anything we put in our mouths.  Especially likes bananas, and peaches. 
• Conner likes to watch TV in bed with mom and dad.  Any we spoil him with tickles before we put him to bed

Leaves, Graduation, and Family

I wanted these three pictures at the end, but that's okay.

Really?!  Who made this outfit?  This is size 12 mo and it won't even snap around his diaper

Uncle Shane and Conner on Thanksgiving

Conner was not interested in his food on Thanksgiving... all he wanted was real mashed potatoes and yams.  Here he is sucking on an apple

The day after Thanksgiving we made our traditional trip to Delta to rake leaves... I thought Conner would find this jumping in the leaves more fun.

Conner loved hats... and his cousin Dalton

This face might look familiar to our family that came to the delivery room right after Conner was born... only in this case  it's not poo on his face.

Conner eating Cheerio's out of my hand because he got so frustrated he couldn't get them into his mouth,

Sinterklaas brought us some treats!  Maybe next year Conner will get a Chocolate letter

Conner was more interested in the paper plate

Happy Birthday Mom!  We celebrated at Teppanyaki

Conner loves playing under the Christmas tree, getting tangled in the lights, and eating the ornaments

More hats to chew on!

He found the bottom shelf!  It might be time to baby proof!

Love this cute boy!

Walmart shopping trip... anything to keep this boy entertained
(yes, those diapers are opened... we had a little accident right when we got there)

Last night we celebrated Cody's graduation at Leatherby's.  We are so excited he is done!

• Conner is eight months old and more on the go then ever!  Not crawling yet but he certainly knows how to roll!
• He tries to jump into the bath tub fully clothed every time...bath time is still the best! 
• Here is what people are saying about Conner
• "That kid is going to be a football player, I know it!"
• "He doesn't get enough food does he!?"
• "I think Conner needs to go on a small diet."
• People are always saying how happy and cute and smiley he is
• He loves playing with little kids
• He can feed himself now and loves his Cheerio's
• Conner finally says "Mom" now, melts my heart
