Fun in the pool!

It's been so warm lately that we decided that it was time for Connor to get to know the water and not just the water in the tub! The other day we went out by the pool and grilled some burgers and let connor sit on the first step of the pool! He really enjoyed himself, he just sat there looking at the water, for the first couple of minutes he wasn't quite sure of what to do, it was so funny he just couldn't grasp the fact that he could put his legs down!



Today we put the inflatable pool out on the balcony and filled it with some water and toys, the first few seconds led me to believe that he hated it...but after a few tears and some of mommies reassurance he began to enjoy himself! I can't wait for this summer (hopefully we will live somewhere with a pool close by!)

He is also learning to drink out of a sippy cup! He has figured out how to hold it, the fact that it goes in the mouth, and that it works like a bottle! I tried getting him to hold his actual bottle but he just couldn't quite get it!! I'm not sure how long I need to keep him on his bottle, he doesn't really like it anymore! Every time that I try and feed him he turns his head or spits it out, I'm thinking that he likes his solids so much that he doesn't want to bother with it anymore! He has his 6 month check up in about a week so I guess that I have some things to discuss!

So many changes....

Here is a big change for a little boy....
Any idea of what your looking at?
***Happy dance***
Those are no other than Connor's first little toofers!!
That's right thats toofer(s) it seems as though he has two teeth growing in at once!
He's a bit fussy but it isn't anything that a little love from mom and dad can't fix!
I can't believe how much he's growing up!!!

Another big change on the way....

School is coming to an end for Jared and it will soon be time to join the workin world! With that being said, he has an interview with Amazon next week for a posistion that he is very interested in! Lets all cross our fingers that things go well!

Play time!!!

Here is a video that I thought you guys would enjoy, it's Connor "inching" to get his toys! (please excuse the spit up... lol) I also attached a few pictures of him playing this morning, he is in such a great mood! (lets hope that he stays this way all day!)

Almost six months...

Look how big he's getting! He can almost sit up by himself, we have to put him in the sitting position and then he can stay that way for a while ... but then he hunches over like an old man!
He has also discovered that he is like a fish and can flip over in the bath tub! (YIKES)

I just can't believe that he is almost six onths old! He is growing up so fast; today he drank apple juice out of a sippy cup! It's so funny how much his personality is changing! He has gotten to the point where he will look at you and just grin from ear to ear for no reason at all! He has discovered (somewhat) that he can entertain himself, after waking up he has figured out that he can do more than just cry...he can have fun! For the past few days he has been just lying there playing with his music turtle or playing with his feet! He is just so cute!

How rude!!!

I guess I need to start disciplining him!!!

A weekend with the Grandparents!

Connor had a long fun weekend with his grandparents! Gigi and Pop came in for the weekend and spent some time with their little pontuf! It was such a nice weekend that we decided on Saturday to relax out by the water so we went to this great little restaurant/hangout in Austin called Carlos and Charlies it was nice! We just relaxed by the water and ate some Delicious food! Pop discovered how to make his little pontuf laugh, after a few silly faces and some very strange noises Pop had Connor laughing it up! When Gigi and Pop headed home we headed over to my parents house, where there was just as much Connor attention, my parents had about 35 lbs of Craw fish and some shrimp......so we had a craw fish boil! (Yes it was Delicious!!!!) I believe that Connor has figured out that he has Grandma and Papa wrapped around his little finger....the slightest cry and Papa is taking Connor "bear hunting" (for a walk through the back yard, which is covered with trees!) needless to say between both sets of Grand Parents this little boy doesn't stand a chance of not being spoiled rotten!!!! Gig and Pop Connor says that he misses you and can't wait to see you soon! And Grandma and Papa get ready for a party ......

Eating is an ....Art!

Here are a couple of videos and a few pictures of Connor eating! They are so cute! There is one video where he hates his food then one where he loves it! (so much so that he helps me feed him!) Although he is a little messy or artistic.... he has actually gotten quite good at it! :)
Enjoy!
