Connor's 1st St. Patrick's Day

Being the Irish family that we are, it was a special treat to have Connor here this year for St. Patrick's Day...in a few years, he will learn to appreciate Daddy's amazing corned beef and cabbage dinner!

Irish or not, he is sooooo kissable!

It's probably impossible to watch this without smiling. Turn up your volume!

What a week!

Grandma and Grandpa Kirchberg came to visit Connor this past week.  Their first day here was a little tough since Connor was dealing with 2 more teeth cutting through (that makes 6 total now!), but he made a quick recovery and was happy for the remainder of their trip.  Despite the cold weather, they spent a lot of time at the park and walking along the beach.  Grandpa even got to spend his birthday with his favorite grandchild!
Here are a few pictures from the week:

On Wednesday, before Grandma and Grandpa flew home, we got the keys to our new house!!!!!!!!  Here are a few pictures.

and, most impressive, the view:

Our Gerber Baby

One of my friends said it best:  "He takes eating very seriously"

Just another day...

Connor's first taste of "food"

Connor turns 6 months old this weekend (unbelievable) and so it is about time for him to experience something other than milk.  Tonight, we gave him his first dose of rice cereal and it was his first time taking anything from a spoon.  He was skeptical in the beginning, but after the first few bites, he got the hang of it.

Christmas 2010

We went down to San Diego to spend Christmas with Grandma & Grandpa Flynn and Auntie Tammie.  Unfortunately, Connor was teething again and so it wasn't exactly a "Merry" Christmas for him, but he loves all the new clothes and fun toys he got!

Christmas Eve

  This picture pretty much summarizes his weekend...look closely and you can see his 2 bottom teeth

Christmas Morning
He only got through 1 present before a meltdown

Christmas Day
Finally, our happy baby is back!

Auntie Tammie then came back to the beach with us and got to spend bonus days hanging out with Connor before flying home to Seattle - they both had so much fun!  If only Auntie Tam & Sus lived closer...they could fight over taking care of Connor!
