Pool Time

Connor definitely enjoys playtime but especially enjoys it when it involves water. Grandma Ann & Grandpa Ben have turned it into a learning experience as they work on his numbers.

H-O-R-S-E

Nope, don't mean the basketball game but do mean a toy of the bouncing variety.

Connor got a horse from his grandparents for his birthday. He hasn't really been interested in it until recently. Here is a video of him "riding".

Keeping up with Connor

Happy Memorial Day! Connor is growing daily and is so much fun! He went from walking to running in what seemed to be a heartbeat.

He loves the dog crate. We think it is because it is more his size and he can easily sit in there. He also likes to "play" golf.

Connor is 1!!!!

Wow! We have made it to the one year mark. Connor's first birthday was yesterday (Sunday) and we spent the evening with Paul's family for a small celebration. As far as presents, he was more interested in the bags than what was in them. Oh well, that will probably change soon enough.

Next weekend, we celebrate with my family in a mega-celebration of Connor's birthday, my Mom's birthday, and Easter.

By the time we got to cake last night, Connor was definitely done with the entire ordeal. And apparently, he doesn't like our singing either.

He didn't get too involved in destroying his own little cake.

Daddy runs a half marathon

Paul ran the Zooma half marathon yesterday morning. This is a primarly women's race series although men are allowed to participate as well. In order to better fit in with the rest of the pack, Paul wore a hot pink running skirt, one of my jog bras, and a pony tail. You can't see the pony tail in this picture but I promise it is there.

He was asked to pose multiple times for pictures at the post race party and was the recipient of many cat calls. Considering he did not train for this race, and, in fact had only run 13 miles since completing the marathon in mid-February, he did a pretty respectable job. The course was pretty hilly and seemed to take a toll on alot of the runners.

Why did I not run? First, I didn't have the training mileage to do so. Second, I got roped into running a waterstop by my running coach.

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.
