Conor is 1 Year Old!

On June 8th Conor turned 1 year old. We celebrated by taking a trip to South Padre Island for a long weekend of celebrating. Conor had a wonderful time playing in the pool, at the beach, enjoying all of his new toys, and getting lots and lots of attention from Grandma and Grandpa Pons & Sano. Mommy and Daddy baked him a sand castle cake in honor of the trip. On the last night Conor dined on the patio of Scampi's restaurant and watched the sunset over the Laguna Madra Bay. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful 1st birthday!

Conor has had a very busy month! He's been on his first boat ride at Lake McQueeney, he's been swimming several times, he's discovered the ocean, and he's been on his first plane ride. Here are just a few of Conor's favorite things to do:

• playing with his toys that make lots of noise


• dancing (he's gotten good at keeping with the rhythm of the song)


• swimming


• trying new table foods - sliced carrots, pasta with alfredo sauce, fruit coctail, green beans, peas, ravioli, yogurt, soy milk, & whole milk...yum!


• walking with his little push toys

Five teeth have made it through and there's about three more that are trying to come through at the moment. Cell phones are an obsession right now...he likes to have one in each hand. He's recently discovered that the buttons make noise and that the phone will light up when you press a button...this is a dangerous thing! Unfortunately Conor has inherited his Mommy's temper. When things aren't going his way or if he is interrupted while playing he will start throwing things. Just a couple of days shy of his 1st birthday Conor got very brave and stood up all by himself without holding onto anything. Everytime he does it he looks around and waits for everyone to applaud. He is so very proud of this.

Conor just went for his 12 month doctor visit. Here are his stats:

• 20 lbs. 12 oz. (45%)


• 30 1/4 inches (75%)
