San Francisco
This post is about 6 months overdue... Chris took me to San Francisco for my 30th birthday in January. We had a blast just walking around the city, eating a ton of delicious food, touring Alcatraz and just spending some quality couple time together. We missed our little guy, who we left home with Grammy Sherry, but it was a great way to bring in the big 3-0!
This is a view of the Golden Gate Bridge from our ferry to Alcatraz Island.

Our 2 year old...
I thought that I should write a post about our little man who just turned 2. Since this is kind of a baby book/family journal after all... :)
Conor is ALL boy. His favorite toys right now are his cars. He has at least one in his hands at all times. He loves to be outside. He usually just wants to push his lawnmower around the yard chasing the dogs, but we swing alot, play in the sandbox or ride the 4-wheeler around. He also loves to "help" his daddy with the yardwork. He will take his little lawnmower out and push it while Chris is mowing.
We also spend alot of time at the train park these days. He is really into trains and loves to ride the train that they have there. He also loves tunnels. All tunnels are "train tunnels", which includes driving under overpasses on the freeway, or crawling under mommy's legs.
We also spend alot of time at the zoo. His favorite animal there is still the giraffe, but he also is getting into the snakes and lizards. It's getting warm enough now that we can play in the water there too. The children's museum is also a favorite place to play. Again, since he is so into cars lately we usually end up playing in the car section of the museum. They have little ride-on cars that go through a "car wash". Conor loves it.
Another Conor favorite is tackling us. We can't sit on the floor without the risk of being body-slammed by the Conman. If you're quick enough, you catch him and throw him in the air. The giggles that come from that are priceless.
Although Conor is all boy, he is also the best cuddler. After waking up in the mornings, we can lay in bed for awhile just cuddling while he wakes up. He gives really good kisses and hugs whenever you ask for them and they are just heart-melting. He loves to watch movies and will sit on your lap or snuggle up next to you and watch intently. He is seriously the sweetest boy ever.
Development-wise, Conor is 34 inches tall and 27 pounds. These put him in the 25-30th percentile. The doctor says he's perfect. He is talking up a storm and running around like a maniac. :) He eats pretty good and is now sitting in a booster seat the the kitchen table. He sleeps really well, taking 2 hour naps and sleeping pretty much all night from 8-7. He is wearing 2T size clothes.
He learns so much everyday. He amazes us with some of the stuff he says and does. He can almost count to 10 (he skips the numbers 6 & 7 for some reason). He will sing along to the ABC song and almost knows the whole alphabet. He gets stuck between K and R... He copies everything you say (so we have to really watch our language!). He will go around the house pointing at stuff and saying what it is. It's really crazy watching him learn so fast and retaining everything!
Some favorite Conor quotes:
"whatcha doin'?"
"Oh honey!"
"Come on!" this includes a big arm gesture
Can't believe he is 2-we've loved every moment! Love you Conor!
