9 months old!

OK, we are a little behind on the posting, but I have a good excuse... December was a CRAZY month! Now that Christmas is behind us (and I will also post pics soon of Conor's 1st) I can do a little catch up.
So, Conor is now 9 months old! He is a mobile maniac! He is crawling everywhere, including up the stairs, and is really close to walking. He has taken a couple of tentative steps, but then decides that crawling is easier... :) He has discovered how to play catch and it has become his favorite game. He has 7 teeth, 4 on the bottom and 3 on the top. 9 month checkup stats: weight 19 lbs 7 oz (30th percentile), height 28.5 inches (75th percentile).

8 months old!

Wow, seriously, where did the time go? Our baby is now 8 months old and growing oh so fast. He now has 3 bottom teeth and 1 top tooth. He is crawling everywhere and is now also climbing stairs. He is getting much better at standing on his own after pulling himself up. He'll eat pretty much anything we give him and has become good at gumming down crackers and cookies. He's a big flirt too. Whenever we are out and about, if a female even glances at him, he gives them a big smile and waves and coos. We are seeing much more of his personality. He is very stubborn and willfull, but also a cuddler. He is also a talker! He says "mama" and "dada" and "baba" alot, and occasionally he will just babble to where it sounds like he is singing. He is still very much a "mama's boy"... :) Loving having him here and soooo looking forward to his first Christmas!

Quick note...

Conor is now waving "hi" and "bye-bye"!

Just like Daddy...

Conor loves to brush his teeth just like Daddy -



Found him just like this yesterday - he crawled to the bouncer and pulled himself up to standing

Halloween 2010 - Conor's 1st Halloween!

His shirt says "baby's 1st halloween" - He is posing with his 1st pumpkin and candy pail... He puts up with his mother very well... :)

Then, of course, we had to dress him up and pose him with his carved pumpkin - ignore the mold coming out the eyes - the pumpkin only lasted 2 days...

7 months old!

This has been a very busy month for the Con-man! He has mastered the walker and is all over the house in it. It's hilarious... :) Just a couple of days ago he started crawling! He is also pulling himself up to standing and can stand alone for a couple of seconds. He insists on practicing all the time! We definately have our hands full... :) Another thing Conor has mastered is finger foods. He loves being able to feed himself. We can't believe how fast he is growing!
(I have video of the walker but can't figure out how to upload it to blogger - I can't get it to work...)

Seriously, how cute is this guy??










When Grandma Cindy was here last week, we went and had Conor's pictures done. He did so good and the pictures turned out awesome! Family, don't worry, we will get them to you as soon as we get them! :)
