Spring pictures

Conor's latest feats (in the past few weeks):
1. Figuring out how to transition from sitting to crawling on his own
2. Pulling himself up to stand

3. Fighting sleep more and more--he hates to miss anything, so naps and bedtime are a challenge
4. Moving up to "3rd" foods...6 ounces at a time and he still wants to eat off mommy's plate too, just minutes later!!
5. Making funny faces...on purpose
6. Watching thunderstorms

7. Understanding the word "no"...or at least the stern voice that goes with it

Giving it a try

Well, blogging seems to be the popular thing to do these days, so here I am joining the ranks. I'm gonna give it a try, but no promises about how diligent I'll be in updating it. (You know me!) I have tried to convert most of his free babysite page to this blog, because I have no constraints on memory here. Conor is supposed to be going to bed right now, but has been screaming for the last 3o minutes, so I think it's time to go rescue him. We'll try this again later.

Waiting for warmer weather...

We are anxiously awaiting spring at our house so we can spend more time outside. We are tired of bundling up in hats, mittens, jackets, snowsuits, and blankets just to go for a walk around the neighborhood. We have been teased with a few "warmer" days (like 50 degrees) and we have seen the spectrum of sunshine to rainstorms...but we want to play outside!!!

Conor is certainly changing daily. We have battled and survived our first major cold and a raging double ear infection. On a happier note, he is rolling over all the time, and crawling everywhere he can go. Time for the outlet covers and baby gates!! He loves to sit up, but never stays still for very long. He is always on the move, and definitely eats enough to keep up that energy. He has managed to finally "sprout" his first tooth. And this morning, he pulled himself up to stand in his crib!

Even with all the fussy days, and the short naps, we feel so blessed to be the parents of a such a wonderful child.
