Connor and Daddy's nose

Crawling, museum, SOO big, life jacket

I know I've said (typed) it before, but I really do need to post more often... There are four fun events in this post! Oh well! Enjoy! :)

Here is Connor crawling after Daddy... he is so fast!

We went to the Children's Museum last week and Connor had so much fun with his friends! We thought to go after school started so it wouldn't be busy, but we weren't the only ones that thought that! It was packed!

Connor found himself in the mirror and thought he needed a kiss :)

Planting a garden...He thought he might be able to get away with this block, but soon realized he was wrong...

Our Baby Connor is so smart!

Grandpa and Gammy bought Connor a life jacket for the boat! Connor loves it!

First things first, Connor is CRAWLING!! This video was actually taken over a week ago, and he gets better and faster every day, so just imagine him now!

Next is the yogurt fiasco... my boy does NOT like yogurt!!

Last week was our five year anniversary, so I surprised Mark with a trip to Cincinnati! He wanted to plan our anniversary, but I told him that I was doing it! It was a complete surprise to him! I called one of his friends at work, Melissa, and asked her to get him a half day last Friday (our anniversary), and when Connor and I went to have lunch with Daddy, I told him that he would be leaving work at 2:00 and coming home. He was shocked! When he got home I had him all packed and loaded in the car. Grandpa Horn (my dad) was already here getting ready to take Connor to their new lake house for the night and next day. After guessing the apple orchard, the Harbert's house and the race track, he finally guessed Cincinnati! We stayed at the Hilton and went to a nice dinner (Tony's, if you are ever in Cincy, is fabulous!). Saturday we went to the zoo and then to a meat and farmers market (which was so awesome). Here are some pics from the zoo... and a video of the lion telling Mark just what he thinks of him waving his arms around...

Mark is touching some weird lizard creature...

I have no idea what this thing is....

If you look closely you can see the elephant's butt over Mark's shoulder... lovely...

New toys and happy baby

So I'm upstairs and I hear Mark yell for me to come downstairs... and this is what I see...

Apparently it is so fun to climb the couch and try to grab the blinds...

Connor found a new toy...

Good morning, Connor!

Babysitting Abby and Connor playing with Daddy

Connor and I watched Abby for a while the other day and they had fun playing with each other!

Here is his first attempt at stealing Abby's paci... I am not exactly sure what is up with his hair...

Second attempt...

Abby getting some payback and taking Connor's toy. (The buttons on his shorts outfit came undone... he is not wearing a dress. Just so we are clear.)

Sweet Baby Abby!





Connor playing with Daddy... so sweet!

Babysitting Ryder and playtime with Daddy

Here is our Baby Neighbor, Ryder. Connor and I watched him a few days last week and I got some cute pictures! Here he is happy as can be!

But sometimes he wasn't so happy, so here is Connor looking at him, very concerned that he is crying... he seems to be looking at me and saying, "Mom, don't you hear that kid crying? Aren't you going to do something besides take pictures?"

**Neighbor, I just happened to have the camera, (it is attached to my hand) I did not let your baby cry while I ran to get it and take a picture...lol

They (Connor) kept trying to grab each other (poor Ryder) and pull hair, clothes, toys, hands, feet, bib, paci, etc... so they had to be separated.

Both reading me a book...

Connor figured that since his "baby" toys were out he would try them again! He pulled up onto his knees and played with his jumper.Now he can roll under the mat, play, and roll right back out!

He even turned it into a fort and played inside it.

And finally, some playtime with Daddy!!

Ball Popper Trauma

Here is a video of Connor and the new ball popper toy that we got him. I mentioned it before and here he is in action. Believe it or not, this reaction is so much better than the first time... maybe he's warming up to it....


Our traumatized baby post ball popper...

Finally able to lift his baby head...
And wonder what his mother and father could possible have been thinking in order to scare him like that...

Happy boy again!

Playing with daddy!
