Busy Weekend of Fun!

It was about two nights ago that I put Conor to bed and noticed that his monitor camera was off. So when I went into his room to turn it on I found him standing up holding on to the side of the crib, peering over the edge smiling at me. So we took him out and Ren lowered his crib to the lowest notch, tear... next step toddler bed, haha!

Then the next day he woke up from his nap and I looked at him on his monitor and there he was sitting up in his crib! So now he can pull himself up and get into a sitting position from his tummy, what a big boy!!

This weekend we decided to check out the new playground/park that they recently completed. It is awesome! There was lots of stuff that was a little too "big" for Conor yet, but he had fun on the swings and the baby teeter toter and some other little low key things. I know he will have lots of fun here as he gets older. There is a gopher mountain with tunnels for kids to run through and a "rocky" mountain area to climb up along with tons of other cool stuff. After the playground we did some shopping, ate lunch then headed home. It is so hot we decided to blow up Conor's little kiddie pool and he had a blast splashing around and being naked outside.

8 Months Old ~ Army Crawling & Talking

Happy smiles on his 8 month birthday (8/17/09)

Peekaboo, I see you! (playing at Miss Tamara's)

I just can't believe Conor is already 8 months old! Miss Tamara has been coaxing him to crawl for about a week now but putting him down on his belly with one of his favorites gerber puff treats just out of reach. He has gotten pretty good at doing the army crawl, but only if there is a snack to make it worth his while. It is hilarious! He is also saying "dadada" "mmdaddy" and "ada", I wonder what his first word will be?...

First bath with cousin Jillian

Aunt Jenna and cousin Jilli came to stay the night because Uncle Jason was out of town. The babies had lots of fun playing in their first bath together. They loved all the toys floating around and splashing in the water. I am sure there will be many more to come!

Conor's New Friend

Conor loves to bang, bang, bang on the keys

Playing with the toy Miss Tamara made for them

"Ride the scooter..."

Loves books, especially books about animals!

Sadly, we had to switch daycare's when Miss Sheila's husband had a sudden heart attack. We will miss Miss Sheila and definitely keep in touch with her. We were very lucky to find Conor's new daycare provider, with Miss Tamara. She also keeps one other little boy, Lane, who is one. Conor loves to play with and watch Lane, trying to immitate and learn from him. Thanks to Tamara for taking lots of pics with our camera!

End of Summer BBQ

Natalie, Seth & Conor (you guys will have one soon!)

We decided to have a small end of summer BBQ (I was really craving corn on the cob!) Natalie, Seth, Andrea, Justin, Kyle, Jimmy & Kristen all came by for hotdogs and massive cheeseburgers

that Ren made on the grill! Homemade mac n cheese from Andrea & Fruit Pizza from Nat were delicious! It was so great to hang out with everyone. Natalie shared her 4D sonogram of little Austin who is due November 11 on their wedding anniversery. Conor can't wait to have a new little friend to play with!
