Strange things that amuse

Connor is fascinated with everything around him. Apparently, the shiny garbage can at Grandma and Grandpa's can be hard to resist.

Connor is walking!!!

I'm not sure why I'm excited about Connor walking since that means that I have to keep an even more watchful eye on him and his antics. Below are a few videos taken at his grandparents house this past weekend and you can see that he is now walkng without holding on.

Connor was having fun playing with some bowls after taking his bath.

Connor @ 11 Months

Connor officially turns 11 months old tomorrow. Time seems to be speeding up on a daily basis. He is now walking and working on his first word(s). Seems that Maya will be the first official word past Mama and Dada. Maya is one of our dogs and Connor sounds like he is yelling at her, just like we normally are. Maya has a good soul but is a little on the destructive side so she seems to always be in trouble. Her nickname is Little Miss Destructo.

We were at my parents house this past weekend and took both some pictures and some video. Connor is now manhandling the tractor.

Connor & his cousin Justin

Apparently both Connor and Justin partied too much the night before.

Happy Valentines Day!

Connor got to celebrate his first Valentine's Day at daycare. There wasn't so much of a party for the younger set but Connor did manage to get his hands on a cupcake.

Paul held the cupcake and Connor was taking some aggressive bites out of it. He definitely enjoyed eating (and destroying) the cupcake as he had a HUGE smile on his face when he was done with it.

Connor Plays Golf

No, we don't have a Tiger Woods in the making but Connor likes to swing a putter around. Grandpa Ben is "helping" in part of the video.

Tractors

Connor got a John Deere tractor from his Meemaw and Peepaw for Christmas this year. Since he was not feeling very good at Christmas, he had no interest in it.

I pulled it out this morning to see what he would do with it. He played/pushed it around the living room for about 30 minutes. Had a few falls, most of which didn't bother him but he had a couple that really hurt his feelings.

Enjoy the show!! FYI - the file is pretty big so it may take a little bit to load.

Merry Christmas

We took pictures with "Ski" Santa this past Saturday at Copper Mountain, Colorado. What you can't see in the picture is that Santa is also wearing ski boots as he had just come off from a few runs on the mountain.

The mountain was pretty deserted last week so we did not have to play the line ride game on the lifts. Snow was decently plentiful and we skiied thru some almost white-out conditions on Thursday. The wind was blowing the snow so hard at times that I swore that it felt worse than a microderm.

And, no, Connor is not exactly happy in these photos. He already had a fever and was working on getting pretty sick. We arrived home Monday morning at 6:30 am and we were in the pediatrician's office at 8:30 that same morning.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Michele, Paul & Connor
