Double Digits!
Connor is 10 Months Old!!!
Connor has changed so much this past month. He is no longer taking a morning bottle...he wants a "real" breakfast now. He is eating 3 meals a day, a few snacks and has 4 bottles. He is loving Cheerios and yogurt right now. We are working on drinking out of a sippy cup and he almost has it.
Connor is standing and cruising the furniture. He can also walk with the push walker all by himself.
He loves to pull himself up to Evan's train table and see what his big brother is doing. And where ever Evan is in the house, Connor wants to be...so cute!
Connor is quickly growing out of size 12 month clothing and staring to get into 18 months. He is still wearing a size 3 diaper.
Last week, Connor also got his first "real" pair of shoes. He is wearing a size 4 wide.
I am happy to finally say that Connor is sleeping through the night more too.
Only 2 months until his first birthday...let the party planning begin :)

Right Up His Alley
I definitely don't want be one of those parents that push sports and activities on their kids.
However, ours will be bowlers :)
(If it wasn't for bowling...Dave and I would have never met)
Thankfully, Evan has already taken it up....in our hallway!
STRIKE!

Evan's Class
Evan recently started taking a weekly class at a local children's gym.
It's an hour long "Big Boy" class and no mommies are allowed :)
Connor and I watch him through a window in another room.
He absolutely LOVES it! He asks me every morning if we are going to it.
Listening to the teacher...
Playing around on the mat...
Doing is favorite move, "doggie kick"...
The balance beam...
Shouting "Ta-Da"...
Is this the making of an Olympic Gold Medalist?

Evan's Quote of the Day
(As Evan itched the sides of his waist while sitting on the potty..)
"Mommy my butt makes music" -Evan
Connor's First Haircut
On Thursday, we finally took Connor for his "much needed" first haircut.
He started out quite content as he watched Elmo on the TV.
What a cutie!!
Then he got a little fussy...
But he did a great job and made it through it!

Connor is 9 Months....the Update!
Connor's 9 Month appointment was on Tuesday afternoon.
Connor weighs 20 pounds 12 ounces and is 28 and 3/4 inches tall.
He was very active at the appointment and wanted to get down off my lap and crawl so bad.
He also didn't like it when the doctor took him away from mommy.
Connor received one shot, he cried for a second and then was happy again.
He doesn't go back to the doctor again until a few days after his 1st Birthday...I can' believe he's going to be one soon!!!
I also have to mention that Connor is pulling himself up on the furniture/toys and standing now.
If I had to bet money...I would guess that Connor will be walking by Valentine's Day!

Evan's Joint
Evan's going to be 3 soon :(
So, I have been slowly trying to re-do his room to get rid of his baby dinosaur theme.
He's all about cars and trucks now, so of course his room had to reflect that.
I changed the valences to a solid color blue and made new pictures to hang on the walls that had cars and trucks on them.
I am still in search for the perfect picture for above his bed and a new lamp for his dresser.
He received this cute rug from Connor for Christmas and we used some Christmas money to get him this much needed toy box.
I also went through and cleaned and organized all of his toys.
We even had Evan pick out some toys that he doesn't play with anymore to donate.
Man, I wish my room looked this good! :)

Evan and Daddy's Snowman
A few weekends ago the temperature here in Rochester reached about 54!
So, Daddy and Evan ventured out into the backyard and built their first snowman together.
While that was going on, I was in the house scrambling to find things to put the finishing touches on him.
We used bottle caps for the eyes, a wine cork for the nose, Daddy's hat, a table runner for a scarf and cookies for buttons. I have to mention that there were 3 buttons (cookies), but when I went to get my camera there were only 2 left.
Now either Frosty came to life or somebody else got hungry.
