Ready, Set, Pose!

Connor and I have had a great week so far. We had MOPS on Monday and Bible study this morning. He has really started to enjoy playing in the nursery, especially with his friend Emily. He has even started praying for "Em-ly" at night. So cute!

After lunch today I decided to try and take some pictures for a few Valentine's projects. It was just Connor and I at home today so it was almost impossible to keep him still AND take pictures. I felt like it was a race to see who was the fastest! After about 5 minutes of chasing after him and lots of blurry shots I decided to break out the lollipop. This definitely kept him still, but it hardly ever left his mouth. Not quite what I was looking for... :)

I thought it was sweet how shared with his bear!

About a minute later drool was all over the shirt and to my surprise he handed the sucker back to me because he was ready to get up a go play. (I told him he could only have it while he was sitting and he was not too excited about that!) Needless to say 19 month old boys are way to busy to stop and pose for pictures.

I wasn't ready to give up yet so I changed his shirt and we headed to his room. Connor loves to sit and read in his chair so that is where we tried next.

I might not have been able to get the perfect shot I was looking for today, but we sure had lots of fun trying.

The Backyardigans

For awhile the Backyardigans has been one of Connor's favorite shows. He is mesmerized by all their singing and dancing and they have definitely made some long car trips a lot shorter! With his increasing vocabulary he is getting a lot better at communicating what he wants. A few nights ago while we are were in the car I hear Connor from the backseat saying "Pabo (Pablo)... Tyrone" (2 of the characters on the show) So now not only does he point to the DVD player and say "Peeaaas", but we are also starting to request what show we wants to watch. Once again I am amazed at how fast this little boy is growing up! I love this new stage!

Look What I Found...

We have had a pretty low-key week and surprisingly I have nothing exciting to report. I did however manage to reorganize/clean out almost every closet/drawer in our house thanks to Connor's day at Mimi's house. We now have a huge pile in our garage of things we are needing to donate. It is amazing how fast you can accumulate things (especially with a baby)!

Connor is talking up a storm. His vocabulary increases every day. Tonight he was playing with Cole and I heard him yell across the room "Ready... Set... Go!" That is one of the many things he has started saying that we have no idea where he got it from. He also is starting to repeat almost everything we say.

I was looking through Cole's cell phone and found pictures that brought back some sweet memories. Since I have no new pictures to share I decided to leave you with a few "old" pictures. Can you believe how much he has changed?

Jump Up!

In case you haven't had the chance to see Connor "jump" here is a video to check out...

Just For Fun...

Here is a cute video that Rachel took before we left for Texarkana.

Hope you are having a wonderful week!
