Happy Mother's Day!

On this very special day, I thought I would do a little tribute to Sandy. This picture series shows one of the many things that make Conor's Mommy so wonderful.

First of all we have a screaming baby.

Then we have Mommy to the rescue (notice the look of concern on her face).

A sweet kiss from Mommy to make it all better.

And lastly we have a comforted, happy baby.

We love you Sandy/Mommy! Happy Mother's Day!

Conor is 11 Months Old!





Today Conor is 11 Months Old! He is crawling faster than ever and he is now cruising around using the furniture. For his 11 month birthday we bought him a "Cars" fold out chair...as you can see he LOVES it. He's already taken some very good naps in it.


Conor can say Mama and Dada now which is so cute! He is trying to form other words, but for now they are just cute little sounds. Table foods are our newest adventure with Baby Conor. He's enjoying new delicious finger foods each day. The pugs are Conor's favorite playmates. He loves chasing them around the house and attempting to play fetch. Conor is constantly discovering new things around the house. Whenever we take him out, he is fascinated by what is going on around him. He soaking it all in!


Our Baby Conor is becoming a little boy right before our eyes...just one more month til he's offically a toddler!

Conor & Mommy





Play Date!






Today Baby Conor had a play date with his cousin Max and his friend Ava. They had so much fun playing with each other's toys. Conor & Max are finally old enough to play with each other and chase each other around. Ava can't crawl around yet, she's still too little, but she'll be chasing those boys in no time (or they'll be chasing her). We had so much fun watching them. The kids played so hard that they were all ready for a nap. So cute!

Horses and Mint Juleps

Today we went to the horsetrack so that Conor could watch the races and place some bets. We got him the cutest little polo and white shorts to wear. You can't really tell from the pictures, but the shorts have a striped belt! Next year, we are going to enter Conor in the best hat contest (there were some pretty extravagant ones out there).

The weather was absolutely perfect. We took a big blanket and Conor was able to crawl around in the field while we watched the races. Elise, Conor's new girlfriend (sorry ladies, he's taken), was such a huge help. She helped Mommy feed him and played with him. While she fed Conor, he gazed into her eyes; it was so cute!

Afterwards, we went over to our friends house and Baby Conor got in the pool for the first time. To Mommy & Daddy's surprise, he LOVED it! We were blown away when he kept dipping his face in the water with no problem. He splashed around and tried to chase the girls. He was fearless! It was the custest thing we've ever seen. We cannot wait to get him in the pool again. (Sorry there are no pictures, we did not have the camera and we were not about to miss a second to go inside and get it.)
