From One to Two

This past weekend our close friends the Kelley's went out of town and we got to keep their adorable daughter Caroline. It was quite an experience to go from one kid to two, but we had a great time! She is at such a fun age and she loved to help with Connor. After 5 days we are back home and getting back into our routine. Here are a few pictures from our weekend:

Caroline loved any kind of "project" and I got to pretend that I was teaching again!

Connor was very entertained by his new friend.

We had so much fun and were so glad that Phillip and Fran let us keep their sweet little girl!

Pumpkin Patch

On Thursday morning my mom and I took Connor to the pumpkin patch at a church near our house. I am planning on going to a bigger pumpkin patch when Cole is off work to take some more family pictures. So these are the first of many to come! :) Here are a few of my favorites:

A Visit from Lee

We had such a fun time last night when "Uncle" Lee came to visit us. Lee and Sally have been such great friends and we are so glad that we live just close enough to be able to get together. Connor loved hanging out with Lee! Here are a few cute pictures.

Connor just thinks he is one of "the boys." :)

We can't wait till you can come see us again!

We had such a great weekend and were so glad to spend some time together as a family. Connor definitely loves being with his Daddy! Here are a few pictures from this week and a video from tonight.

The cool weather has been perfect for morning walks.

Connor played so hard he wore himself out.
I was in our bedroom talking to my mom tonight when I heard Connor just laughing as loud as he could. I quickly came in to see what was going on and I caught the end of it with my camera. It is so cute to see how much he loves his Daddy.


*One more update: For those of you keeping up with all of Connor's latest achievements.. tonight while we were playing he rolled all the way from his back to his stomach!

Rainy Day Fun

Today has been such a fun day so I thought I would take some videos to share what we have been doing. We are so thankful to finally get some rain here in Austin and I decided that this was the perfect day to stay in and play all day. Here is a little glimpse into how Connor and I spend most of our days at home.

The first video is of Connor playing in his exersaucer. You can see that there are TONS of things to look out, but Connor has decided that the butterfly is his favorite and spends all his time playing with it. I think he could just stare at the butterfly for hours if I let him! :)

This is my favorite video! Connor has been laughing a little here and there, but today was the first day that he just couldn't stop laughing. I tried to get some of it on video, but of course the camera distracts him. (Sorry the video is not the best, but I had to record with one hand so I could tickle him.) He loves to be tickled!

The last video is of Connor playing on his activity mat. I think in this video he was actually looking more at the fan then the toys. He LOVES the fan! Squealing is his new way to show how exciting things are. Connor is such a happy baby! :)
