Christmas Excitement

Connor has been getting very excited about his first Christmas. Last night we captured this excitement during his bath time. We are off to visit family now but will be posting a message tonight for Santa.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Holiday Fun

This weekend we started to celebrate the holiday season. Yesterday, Connor got to give and receive his first Christmas gifts with Beth and Derek. Today, we spent the afternoon at Nana's baking and decorating cookies.

Is this for me?

7 months

On Friday, Connor celebrated his 7 month birthday. Over this last month, Connor has really started to learn and grow. He now has his two bottom teeth, he can sit up like a pro and he is starting to feed himself little pieces of food like cheerios. Here is a picture of him sitting in his bath tub showing off his new smile with his two tiny teeth.

LaSalette

Here are the pictures that I promised from our visit to LaSalette last Friday. For those of you who do not know what LaSalette is let me explain... it is a Shrine where they decorate the whole property with Christmas lights. It is quite the sight to see!

Busy

We have been very busy this weekend. Friday night we went to LaSalette Shrine to see the lights with Connor's godparents, Beth and Derek. Pictures of this will be coming soon... Yesterday we went to cut down our Christmas tree in the morning and then we spent the rest of the day decorating it. While we were at the tree farm, Connor got to meet Santa for the very first time. Finally, when we woke up this morning, the ground was covered in snow so we had to take Connor outside to experience his first snowfall. It has been a very busy and exciting weekend!

Happy Birthday Joey

Today is Joey's 4th Birthday! We didn't want him to feel left out now that he is a big brother, so we decided to let him have his moment in the spotlight. Here he is hanging out with his biggest fan.

Connor loves books

We have been reading to Connor ever since he was in the womb. He loves to sit and listen to stories. It is the one activity that he always loves to do and he will sit there forever and listen to you read. Last night, Grandma was over and I couldn't resist taking this picture of her reading to the little guy. As you can see from the picture, Joey is also fond of story time.
