Birthday Parties

Connor got to celebrate his birthday twice. First we had a party with our play group friends and then a family party in San Antonio. He seemed to really enjoy both.

One Year Old!

I cannot believe my sweet baby boy is already one! One week ago today he became a one-year-old! The year has gone by so quickly and it just keeps going.

One year ago: 8lbs 11oz, 21 inches



I will blog later about his parties but here he is the morning of his play group party, just enjoying some Cheerios. (He had a boo-boo a few days earlier but it's all better now.)
25.5 lbs 30.5 inches (75% all around)

Thankful Tree

At MOPS this week our craft was a Thankful Tree. We used pots and Styrofoam to create little trees and attached paper leaves. On each leaf we were to write something we were thankful for. It was a craft that we were told to take home and finish with our kids so that they could list things that they are thankful for too. Seeing as Connor is not speaking (except for "DaDa") I went ahead and filled my leaves myself. Matt added a few too. It was also a great exercise in counting my blessings, as there are many! Here's the final product. I think it's pretty cute!

Here is one of my most cherished blessings!

Spook-tacular!

With his first Halloween under his belt, Connor is now a pro! We kicked off the week with a costume themed play group where all the babies wore their Halloween gear. Connor was none to thrilled about putting his on at home but once we got to play group and he was distracted with friends and toys I slipped his pumpkin right on and never heard a peep about it. The hat is a different story. It wouldn't stay on for anything.
Last night, on actual Halloween our church hosted Trunk-or-Treat for the first time. It's an event (if you're reading this & not from First Euless) where church members line up their cars, open their decorated trunks and hand out candy to kids. It was a huge success! Tons of families came out for the event, giving us tons of people to do follow up with!
Anyway, Connor again wore his jack-o-lantern duds which kept him warm when the sun went down and it got chilly. He was so great. He played happily, hung out with his daddy a lot and ate his dinner in the stroller. What a great baby!
