Mother's Day

I hope everyone's Mother's Day was as wonderful as mine. Not that we did anything out of the ordinary or super special, but I think having a low key 'do whatever you want' Mother's day was the best route. By the way, I have a ton of pictures to upload from Easter and our anniversary in Aspen, but I couldn't decide where to start, so I thought I would start more recent and work backward.

What a great day...we started out going to church. I had to put Connor in this new Jon Jon that his NaNa bought him while we were in Jackson. However, I didn't realize it was a little big until I obviously got it on him. Now for any of you that have tried to dress a 10 month old, big or not, if you get it on them they wear it. I was not about to change this baby's clothes after that ordeal. As you can tell from the picture above he was a little tired and ready for his nap.

After church we had a little cookout with Chef Joey, Master of the Green Egg. We had picked up Mammaw on our way home and we all hung out on the patio for a while. For those of you that are a part of the Slater clan and in our weight loss challenge, SHE BOUGHT ME A CAKE! And not just any old cake, a Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake. How in the world am I supposed to lose weight with an ice cream cake! YIKES! I had a slice and it is resting nicely in the freezer.

After Joey took Ms Ann home we decided it was such a nice day that we would end it in City Park with a little picnic. Connor is not so sure about the grass. I sure hope he grows out of it. The only good thing about his grass phobia is that I can put him on a blanket and he isn't going to move off of it.

 'Don't mess with me, I am eating'

 Silly Boys!!!

 Not so sure about the grass

Last but not least - BIG SMILES!

Most of you have already heard the news that I am going to be a stay-at-home Mommy, so I hope to have more time to update you on pictures and such on the blog. It's amazing how time flies. Connor is already 10 1/2 months. 8 short days away from being 11 months old.

As always lots of love from,

9 Months

Well it has been a while since we posted and Connor is just moving right along, literaly!  He is now crawling, pulling up, and "couch surfing". Today he was playing on a stool that has his name in Blocks on it. He picked up the "O" in his name and just stood up and stood there for probably 30 seconds. I know walking is coming soon. I am just not sure I am ready.

With Spring & Summer coming we decided to get him and "outside toy". I am not ready for a walk behind toy on the concrete, so we opted for the walker style Jeep. He loves it.

Hanging with his BFF, Abby. Although she still isn't too sure of him.

Just a little Connor...

Beware, it's a lot of little man!!!!

7 Months and a Little Snow

My baby turned 7 Months old this week. I can hardly believe it and boy has things changed in the last month. Let's start with his stats from his 6 1/2 month check up. Can you say, 85% for height and weight. He was 20 1/2lbs and 28 inches long. And that noggin...well he takes after Cousin Emma. 96%!!

When we were in Jackson for Christmas, Connor started leaning to one side to reach something. A few 4 weeks later and he is trying to crawl. He can pretty much get anywhere he wants to go and is getting faster by the day. He has been "army crawling", but he is now getting up on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth. It's just a matter of days now and we won't be able to let him out of our sight. Did I mention he is into EVERYTHING. The true boy is coming out. He crawled into the laundry room and tried to pull up on the dryer while the door was open. One day I am sure I will find him IN the dryer.

Talking...really. He even cracks himself up now. He has learned how to get a reaction out of us. He will "fuss" and wait for us to look at him and then he smiles because it worked. He knows exactly who Abby is and is in love with her. If you say, "Where's Abby" he will look until he sees here and then smiles. He liked to try and pet her, but she is having nothing to do with him. He makes this noise actually an "Ooooooo", but the funny thing is I think he relates it to Abby. Abby doesn't always barks, she kind of howls and I think he is trying to copy her.

His little personality is coming out every day. I can't wait to see who this little guy is going to be.

So, in addition, it finally started snowing in Denver. New Year's was the first "real" snow we had and we couldn't wait to get Connor out in it. Here are some of our pics from the day.

Two Babies, One Christmas Photo

All their mommies wanted was one cute shot of the two of them. You take a one year old and a six month old and you have a whole lot of cute shots. Just see for yourself...if they would just stay still.

But first a little Connor Man kisses...

And here we go...

Even NaNa couldn't control them =)

More Christmas to come!
