park break

On the way home we stopped at a park for a little breakThe swings are his favorite!
Yeah we're home! Connor giving Chloe a great big hug.

Bye Bye Charette's

We stopped by Grandma and Grandpa's house to play for a while. Then took them out to dinner at Red Lobster. Mmmmm Yum! Grandma gave Connor this white teddy bear that he just adores! He snuggled with it the entire ride home.
We had to stop and say good bye to Aunt Sue one last time. No more kisses auntie! LOL
My little composer
He couldn't get enough rides on his new car from the Bennett's. He loves it!! Again! Again!
bye bye Grandma and Grandpa! Oh yeah, about a week ago Connor started saying "Bye Bye"

Connor's own little cake! His first experience with sugar!!
Hmmm I'm not sure what to do with this... it feels strange between my fingers
He had way more fun playing in it than eating it... I guess my little guy doesn't have much of a sweet tooth yet.
I'm ONE! All weekend long everyone kept asking Connor how old he was and he would hold up his index finger. =)
ugh... enough already! I'm tired.. no more cake please!
A quick bath and wardrobe change and it's time for presents. He really liked the 3-1 riding toy from Lee, Debra and Faith! Thanks!!
WoW, his own tool set! Thanks Aunt Deanna and Uncle Ron!Cameron gave Connor 3 of his old Tonka trucks... playing with his loader for the last time... ahhh the memories digging holes in the yard. Oh the fun!
Andrew gave Connor his match box cars. Yeah! Thanks Cameron and Andrew! I'm sure your trucks will get lots more use. =)Jason was manning the camera for the opening of the gifts... so we didn't get the normal hundreds of pictures that mommy takes. LOL Thanks everyone! Connor loved all his gifts and I'm sure you'll see more pictures of him breaking everything in later on my blog. Thanks for letting us have his party at your place Sue!

1st hair cut!

We drove over to see Aunt Frann in Issaquah and decided to get Connor's 1st hair cut! He started off all smiles in his fire truck...
And then the lady tried to use clippers... bad choice! I think the vibration and noise scared him.
So, we switched to sitting on mom's lap. No smiles, but at least no tears either!
wooo hooo! Connor's cute new hair style.
He loves Frann's 2 dogs and her cat... especially her cat! He got so excited every time he saw her.

Dad's home from Alaska!

Yeah, daddy is home! Jason was in Alaska for 2 weeks.
He brought Connor home a reindeer from the Santa Claus house!
Alivia's ballet performance. She was a raggedy doll =)
my basketball pro! He already palms the ball with his big hands!

Play date with Max!

Our next door neighbors are the sweetest people ever! We just love them! They have a granddaughter and grandson who are both 3 months older than Connor. Today they brought Max, their grandson over to play with Connor. Yeah, play buddies! Max is 14 months old and Connor is 11 months old. Hopefully we'll get to see more of Max this summer. He was a little bit shy at first, but he warmed up pretty quickly. Connor was all smiles, but we need to work on sharing his toys a little more. Max is a cutie and such a sweet boy! =)
