My nieces, Madison and Alivia stay the night with us on Monday's and sometimes Tuesday's so their mom, Laura can work. Here they are wrestling and laughing...
It took us 2 evenings to finish our Dog-opoly game. Connor was warm so he was showing off his little studly chest.
Thanks for the new toy Tantie Frann!
Fun bath time!

Staci and Tony had a family dinner at their house. Tony BBQ some steaks, which were amazing! And Staci made some fabulous salads. We had a great time.
Grandma chillen with Connor in his little winter boots
Grandpa playing with Rocco
Rocco... who was just fixed the day before, but you couldn't even tell. He was a bundle of energy. It sure didn't slow him down.
Taylor
The stare down between Rocco and Connor... I think they're both looking forward to Connor getting old enough for them to play together. Also in the picture is Tony, Shawn and Staci.
Jason, Connor and I drove to Kelso to spend Thanksgiving at his sister, Sue's. This was our first real trip with Connor.... and first car ride over 1 hour. He did excellent! We drove to his sister, Frann's house in Issaqua (4 1/2 hours) Wednesday, then drove to Sue's house in Kelso (3 hours with traffic) Thursday, then drove back to Frann's (2 hours) Friday, then drove home (4 1/2 hours) Saturday. Connor slept the entire time he was in the car!
Connor meeting Uncle Mark and cousin Breanna for the first time
Cousin Taylor playing with Connor... who just thought Taylor was hillarious!
Cousin Breanna and Aunt Stephani
Game time! It's a Charette tradition to play board games after dinner. We had sooo much fun playing "Imagine Iff" and "Apples to Apples"
Aunt Frann and cousin Lauren (cousin Justin and Aunt Sue in background)
Cameron's 16th Birthday! He was the youngest Charette... until Connor!
cousin Justin... he looks like a natural with the burp rag on his shoulder!
snuggle time with Grandpa
playing with Grandma
lunch with Jason's best friend, Lee and his wife, Debra
Saturday morning we brought Connor in to wake Aunt Frann up, but found Miah curled up with her head on the pillow and covers up to her nose and couldn't resist taking a picture...
Tantie Frann, Connor and her kids- Miah and Ferra. Connor just loved her girls! He can't wait to go back and visit Aunt Frann's Zoo again! LOL He also loved watching her 2 fish... and her 2 cats. Hmmm 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 fish and 2 best friends next door with 2 dogs. =)
Frann and her best friend and next door neighbor, Rob. We had a lot of fun hanging out with Frann and Rob. Connor thinks Tantie Frann and Rob should take a road trip to Medical Lake to visit us now! =)
One last baby massage before we hit the road... you can't tell from the picture, but Connor is drooling and coo'ing all over her pant leg. He loves his back massages from his Tantie Frann!
Thanks for letting us stay with you Frann!
Daddy redeemed himself and bought Connor this outfit.
Jason was in Sacramento this last week. In addition to his typical stuffed animal that Connor gets on daddy's travels... he also got a bib from Hooters this time.
Hi, My daddy dressed me... can you tell? LOL Nothing matches daddy. Oh well Connor didn't seem to mind and the boys had fun playing all morning long. Jason left today for Sacramento. 
Connor had his 4 month check up and shots today. He weighs 12 pounds 4 ounces and is 25 inches long! Our pediatrician said he can start eating rice cereal now, so I stopped at the store on my way home and bought him some. Below are pictures of his first experience of rice cereal. He seemed to really like it... only mom wasn't shoveling it in fast enough so after a few spoon fed bites we poured it into a bottle and he sucked it down. He's recently started rolling over too! But I haven't managed to get any pictures of that to post yet... hopefully soon!
