so much to explore!

connor has discovered that he can travel into different rooms of our house now and play. surprise, surprise his favorite rooms are the kitchen and bathroom. his face lights up, his crawl quickens and he giggles everytime he turns the corner. i just can't get enough of him!!!

First trip to the Zoo

We took Connor to the Caldwell Zoo back on April 25th. It was a beautiful spring day and we all had a great time.





We started out with a trip to the petting area of the zoo. Connor thought the goats were very interesting and really wanted to see what their hair tasted like. (None actually made it to his mouth.)

Even the hand-washing station was an adventure.









Of course, he wants to touch everything.

They have a bird area that you can walk into. For a buck, you can buy a 'seed stick' and coax the birds to eat from it. I could not let him hold the stick since he wanted to put it in his mouth, but he was enthralled the entire time we were in there.










There were many animals that he did not notice because they blended into the environment well. Those can get discovered on subsequent trips!

Adventure Baby

After all the fun he had swinging with PaPa (his great-grandfather) we decided to get him one for the house. I think the picture says the rest better than I ever could.

Water Baby

When Connor was first born, and for the first couple months thereafter we bathed him in a little infant tub straddling the kitchen sink. He would either fuss, or just lay there till it was over.

Now, we bathe him in the tub and he loves it. When you ask him if he wants out, he just turns around and keeps playing. He is such a fun baby!

lights out

a few days ago a big storm blew in and knocked out our power for about thirty mintues. connor didn't quite understand what was going on. so i fished out his flashlight that he got for christmas and let him play with it. he loved watching the light on the walls 'dance' around. and if you know adam.....this was probably one of the happiest moments in his life.....watching his son play with a flashlight.

easter with the family

we had an awesome easter weekend. connor is just old enough to pick up the eggs. we thank God for blessing us with such a wonderful family and for sending us his son so that we might be saved!







connor also started pulling up this weekend. it was a shock to walk into his room and see this.....





he brings such joy to our lives!! it's never a dull moment!

where....oh where can spring be???

when i woke up sunday morning it was a gorgeous day!! the sun was out and it was calling my name. so after getting everyone ready and strapping connor into his stroller we went out for a walk. we didn't make out the driveway before adam wanted to turn back. the wind was soooo cold. we made it to the end of our street, turned around and came back.

i am ready for sun. i'm ready to play outside and plant flowers. connor needs to go to the zoo!!! so can it just be spring already??
