Spelling

Connor is a sponge right now.  He loves his alphabet books and can now identify and say around 70% of the letters and pictures within the books.  He can also spell his name...

Christmas with Grandma & Grandpa Flynn

We headed down to San Diego to see Grandma & Grandpa Flynn for Christmas.  On the way, we stopped at Steve & Katie's to meet baby Dylan!  Connor and Dylan are 1 year apart in age. 

Friday night we headed down to Christmas Card Lane to look at all of the lights!

 Giving knucks to Pooh:

We had BEAUTIFUL Christmas weekend weather

(high 70's and sun) -

we had a lot of fun playing at the park!

We celebrated Christmas Eve at Al & Barb's



Christmas Morning:

...and this is where our Christmas 2011 pictures come to an end as Mommy was taken to the ER and admitted to the hospital later this day.  She had her appendix removed the following morning...

Early Christmas with Grandma & Grandpa Kirchberg

Grandma and Grandpa Kirchberg came to California the weekend before Christmas.  Connor had a great time opening presents with them and playing with all of his new toys.

We also took a train ride down at the harbor - his first time on a train!  He got to ring the bell and was really good at saying "choo choo!"

Here are a few pictures hanging out down at the harbor watching the water show.

 

Grandpa Knox & Cindy

Grandpa Knox and Cindy came to shower Connor with gifts and attention last weekend.  Connor showed-off by using all of his new words and by finally spending most of his time walking instead of crawling. 

Things I learn at daycare

It's hard to not give him whatever he wants him when he can say "more" and "please" in sign language. 

Happy Halloween!!

Oh, the thrill of being pulled around the living room in a Lego's container with a bucket over your head.  Good times.

Our little skunk

Our pumpkins:  first 2 are creations of our neighbors, 3rd (aka:  the winner) is Mindy's and far right is Chad's.

His shirt says it all..."so cute it's scary"

A visit from Grandma & Auntie Stacy

Grandma K and Auntie Stacy came to visit from the Midwest right before Halloween.   Mommy didn't take many pictures, so Grandma & Auntie are going to have to send us some from their cameras...
