Connor 1.0

Woohoo!! I finally crossed the big 1 year milestone last Friday! Many thanks to all of my friends and family who were able to make it for my party. I had a blast! I'm not sure if I had more fun opening all of my wonderful gifts........or playing with them... but, I definitely enjoyed watching the adults try to figure out my toys too. Silly grown ups :-)
And, now that I'm officially a big boy, I'm starting to work more on my big boy skills. In addition to working on my walking, I'm learning to feed myself from my bowl and spoon. I've got the basics down, but think I need a little fine tuning....

Til next time - hope your feedings are less messy then mine

A Little Fall Fun

Momma Daddy and I spent this past weekend enjoying the nice Fall days. I got to play in the leaves.... Take a walk in the park....
and, even try a bit of comfort food for the first time. Yumm...Pizza!!
On top of enjoying my first pizza, Daddy and I are working on my transition from formula to real milk. I just have one question - does this constitute drinking and driving?
Thats it for this week - I'll see a bunch of you at my big 1st birthday party this Friday! As for the rest of you, I hope to see you soon as well

Ultrasonic Super Fantastic Weekend!

I think the title says it all for this weekend!

First, I had a surprise visit from Grandma last Thursday. We had a great time playing in the park, and I got to go hunt for my very first ever pumpkin for Halloween. Once I found the perfect one, I turned to Grandma for a little celebration high-five

Then, the weekend rolled around and it was a blast. On Sunday Momma and Daddy took me to the Ultrasonic Super Fantastic Kids Day Weekend in Northern NJ. It was a really cool event with a huge sandbox, pony rides, big trucks for us to climb on....
and a petting zoo..... I think the sheep were my favorite, though Daisy the cow came in a close second
I also got to spend some quality time playing with Tazz in the front yard. I'm getting really good at putting her ball into the Chuck-It, and someday soon I'll be able to throw it for her!
To top off all of the excitement, today Daddy took me for my first car ride in my front-facing car seat. I was so excited, I could barely contain myself.....so I decided just to take a nice little nap. Man, is that seat comfy :-) I have tons more fun pictures, but am running short on time, so I guess I'll just say bye for now.

Talk to you again next week

Week 49

Before I start in on this week, I just want to make sure you didn't miss last weeks bonus video post. I'm taking that next step towards walking on my own! (pun intended)

This weekend, I had some more visitors. Nanny and Grampy came to babysit me while Momma and Daddy went to Philly for the Eagles / Redskins game. (Sorry how that turned out Dad :-( ) It was a great chance for me show off my growing skills.
When I wasn't testing the strength of Nanny's back, I took the opportunity to get a new perspective on things. I really enjoyed being taller then everyone else
Such an exciting weekend really got my appetite worked up, and I've been keeping Daddy on his toes getting my food ready. Tonight when he was prepping my dinner, I decided I would go get into my high chair to help him out. I'm not sure I got it quite right, but I did my best!
Thats all for this week... stay tuned for next weeks post as I hear there are more visitors coming this weekend! Man, I'm popular!
