Play time

Yesterday Connor was playing with a block and he knocked it past his feet, so (being the genius that he is) he used his feet to bring it back to him... but then it got stuck under his thunder thighs, so he had to find a new toy. Here is a picture... notice the block under him! haha!

And here he is playing today. He is starting to sit by himself really well now!

And he loves to read (eat) his books!

6 month doctor's appointment

Connor had his six month doctor's appointment this week (yes, I know he will be 7 months in a couple days...) and he did great! He got shots and only cried for a few seconds, and then as soon as the nurse let go of his legs he stopped. He seemed to not like being held down just as much as the shots! (Probably why using the aspirator 100 times a day is starting to irritate him...hmm..)

If you know Connor, you know that he LOVES to watch tv, so here he is after some benadryl for the stuffy nose and tylenol for the shots trying to watch some Veggie Tales at the pediatrician's office:

And here he is right before the shots... he has no idea what's coming...

Sick baby boy

Yesterday Connor woke up with a stuffy nose and today it is about 10 times worse. He can't breathe out of his nose and is crying pretty much all the time. However, this morning he was not crying for about 2 minutes, so I got this video! Enjoy! :)

Easter

We had a great Easter - here is Connor on his Easter blanket that Nonnie made him.

Here he is opening his basket from Grandpa and Gammy

From Nonnie and Papa...

And from Great-grandma and great-grandpa Livingston

If you notice from the picture, he got the book, What is Easter? I love it! The first I heard of it was frm Elizabeth who got it for Anabelle, and then Connor got it, too, and it is the best book ever! The first half of it asks if Easter is about candy, bunnies, chocolate, eggs, etc. and the last half of the book says no, and explains what Easter is really about. It tells the story of Jesus and how He died for all our sins. Love it! :)

After our Easter brunch with Grandpa and Gammy, Mark and I went downtown to join in with the Butler festivities, and Connor stayed the night with Gpa and Gammy! We had a great time, and so did Connor!

First was a yummy afternoon snack in his adorable new shirt-bib...

Then bathtime
Then dinner with Aunt Morgan

A Parent's Promise

This past weekend we dedicated Connor at church. It was called a Parent's Promise. We promise to raise him to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and know who He is. It is a big responsibility, but we are ready for it!

Here are my two handsome boys!

Connor was so excited for his big day that he only took one 15 minute nap all day! He was so tired he fell asleep during the ceremony!

Here are our neighbors (from our old house), Andy and Chelsea, with their sweet baby boy Ryder.


Here are all the people that came to celebrate with Connor Alan... He is so loved!

This is the picture Mark and I decided to use for the slideshow during the ceremony... He is so darn cute! :)

Family shotAfter the dedication ceremony we all came back to our house and ate chili for dinner. The Macks, Lands and Harberts met us here. It was so wonderful! Our family and our closest friends with us to celebrate our baby boy on such an important and special day.

Playing

Katie just gave me the idea to put only two legs on Connor's table leap frog toy so it is on lean and he can play with it, and he LOVES it! He can also lay next to it and play with it that way.

Here he is trying to escape his Bumbo...

Here are Connor's two pearly whites - he loves to show them off when he says dada.

Here is Sarah playing with Connor in his Jumping Bean.

Boo!

I hope we aren't the only parents out there that find such joy in scaring their child...
