So smart...

11 months old

Connor is turning 11 months old this week!!  It's crazy how we see him now as a little boy instead of our baby...he's growing and getting smarter by the day!  He crawls all around the house and his specialty is going after everything we tell him is off limits (the cat food, the remote control, the blinds on the door, etc.)
He has a funny personality and he makes us laugh and smile every day.

Here are a few pictures from the beach today and from bath time tonight.

Easter in Minnesota

Connor took his first big trip over Easter weekend!  We went to Minnesota!

The outbound flight was nothing short of miserable...he screamed for about 2 hours and then knocked out.  Mommy was near tears and swore there would be no more flights in our near future as a family.  The flight back was much better...yes, he was kicking the seat in front of us...yes, he was throwing his toys everywhere...yes, he kept taking a wallet from the tray table of the guy next to us...but he wasn't screaming.  Daddy says it just seemed easier because Mommy had some wine...

This was Mommy's rocking chair as a baby (mommy also had a huge, bald head)

Our beautiful blue-eyed baby boy:

Happy Easter!

 



9 months old!

Connor's first word!

Yup, 8 + months of coddling this kid non-stop just paid off big...  He has never even made the "M" sound before and on Saturday he just started shooting off "Mom" and "Mama" out of nowhere!

 

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!
