11 months old!

Our baby is 11 months old!

He is bigger than the bunny now - so big!

This is what happens when he insists on feeding himself cereal

Messy baby...

The Valentines flowers the boys got me with the cards we got each other

Mommy's Valentine!

His shirt says "My 1st Valentines Day"

Conor's 1st Jazz game!
Conor and Daddy were on TV! One of the Utah TV stations aired the Con-man dancing at the Jazz game. We'll post the proof soon!


This is the view from our seats at the Suns vs Jazz game - we were right behind the Jazz bench.



So, Conor is 11 months old - one more month and he will be 1! (tear) He is now officially walking and talking. He says mama, dada, kitty, puppy, baba(we think this means hungry), and nana(banana). When we go for walks, when I ask him to point out trees, bushes, fire hydrants, puppies or cars he'll do it. He loves to play catch and get into anything that he shouldn't. If you say no he shakes his head no at you. He is such a smart baby - I guess I should be calling him a toddler now?!

10 months old

10 months old!

Couldn't get him to look at me...stinker... :)

Ah ha!

Naptime...so sweet

Going after a ball that he threw all by himself


"I'm this big"



So - getting so much closer to 1 year old...yes, mama cries every time I think of it... :) He is taking some tentative steps, but still not wanting to commit to walking yet. When you ask him how big he is, he throws his arms in the air. He also will shake his head "no", and clap whenever you say "Yay"!

Conor's 1st Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas with our little man. We spent Christmas Eve and most of Christmas day together, just the 3 of us, which was really nice. We made chili Christmas Eve night and watched 2 movies - A Christmas Story & National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.
Then we had Conor open 1 present before bed. Chris read "The Night Before Christmas" and we all went to bed. The next morning we all woke up and attacked the presents while eating cinnamon rolls and drinking hot chocolate. Later chris' grandparents came over and we ate a ham dinner. Then we all went to the Cowboys/Cardinals game. It was fun to take Conor to his 1st Cowboys game, even though they lost... The next day we flew out to Roosevelt to see the rest of the family. Unfortunately, We forgot to charge the camera... Hope everyone had a great holiday, we certainly did!



We let Conor open 1 present on Christmas Eve - he got a ball popper from Aunt Amanda and the kids

After Santa's visit...

Looking at all the stuff Santa left him. He is sitting on the toy box that Daddy made him.

Playing with his toys from Santa

Santa left bubbles in his stocking - he loves them!

Opening presents with Devlin's help - Devlin was helpful enought to take all the wrapping paper to tear up in a corner... :)

Riding the rocking horse that Grammy Sherry bought him.

Posing with all his schwag - spoiled much??

In front of the Cardinals stadium

Go Cowboys!

Granny and Gramps went with us to the game too!

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
