Growing Boy

Yesterday was Connor's 15 month appointment with his pediatrician. He had to get 2 shots and they checked his iron level one more time. Connor was definitely not happy about the shots, but as soon as I picked him up he started smiling again so it must have not bothered him too much! The part I couldn't believe was how much he had grown!

12 months: 31 inches (off the charts) and 28lbs 12oz (off the charts).

15 months: 34 1/4"(off the charts) and 29lbs 9oz (95%).

He grew over 3 inches in 3 months!!!!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Nana!

Happy Birthday Aunt Rachel!

We love you and hope you both had a wonderful day!

Happy 15 Months Connor!

I am 15 months old!Here are some things Connor can do now that he is 15 months old:

-Saying lots of new words (mainly the beginning sounds)

-Tries to repeat a lot of what we say

-Likes routines and repetition

-LOVES to climb!

-Speed walking everywhere

-Learning how to "jump" (Bends his knees and straightens them really quick)

-Holds our hand as we walk

-Gives lots of sweet hugs and kisses

-Will listen to words I say (like "chair") and then point to a picture of it in his book

-Still loves to play with anything that has wheels

-Enjoys going to the nursery at church

-Has a contagious smile and laugh

-Becoming more and more active everyday! Connor is definitely ALL boy!

What a fun 15 months it has been!

Friday Night Football

It's that time of year again... what Cole refers to as "the most wonderful time of the year." Texas high school football is back and we have spent the past two nights in the stands watching.

Thursday night we headed to House Park to watch Cole's cousin, Michael, play for Austin High. You can see him in this first picture on the right (he is #20).

Connor got to see Nana, Poppa, and his great-grandparents so it was a fun night!

Connor hanging out with Poppa

Friday night we headed out to Dripping Springs to watch another game. Since it is impossible to keep our little man still for more than a few minutes we (Cheryl and I) spent most of the night letting him run around. He loved watching all the people and would just take off squealing in excitement. Needless to say he had lots of fun even if it didn't really involve football.

Nana and Connor

On another note....

All of you Friday Night Light fans would be happy to know that we saw Kyle Chandler "Coach Taylor" out at the DS game. How cool is that?!? Cole and I have enjoyed watching the show over the past few seasons. It is about a small town football team and is filmed here in Austin. We weren't sure why he was there, but maybe he was just doing some research. I restrained myself from taking a picture, but here is one I found online for those of you who don't know who he is.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Splash Day at Mimi's

Yesterday Connor and I spent the day at my mom's house. We had been waiting for this splash pad to go on clearance at Target and it finally did so we celebrated with a "Splash" party in the backyard. Connor had fun getting splashed by all the little fountains. He also loved going down the "whale" slide. I told him he had his own Sea World water park in Mimi's backyard.

While we were outside Connor saw his sand table and pool so we got those out to add to the fun!

Thank you Mimi for such a fun day! We don't mind it being so hot outside when we can do fun things like this! :)
