Playdate in the Park

Here are some of the pictures that we took last week in the park. Cam was very nice to humor me by coming out and dressing well. My mom was very nice to take the shots and my sister helped a ton with Conner.


These are out of order... sigh. Last shots of the day.

Sweet faces, huh?

Upside down! Oh the things we do to make that baby smile.

Conner was starting to get a little sick of picture taking here, but we got some of Cam's best smiles.

"Look at the duckies Conner!" And yes, I am tickling him to get that big smile.

Conner had fun with these pictures, though aferwords it occured to me that he's a little too little for swinging. Oh well. He was fine and the pictures are great!

Auntie and Grandma had to work a little bit to get him to smile at first. The word "bonk!" seems to do the trick.

Smiley faces

One of my favorite ways to get a little pick-me-up when I'm feeling discouraged with Conner is to look back on the sweet moments captured by my camera. Okay, okay... my mom's camera. Here are some fun pictures of an ordinary day in October. Hope they make you smile.
Yes, this was a pain to clean up.
And yes, it was worth it!

Bugs 'N' Bones

Conner was a skeleton for Halloween. He did not want to wear the hood that came with his costume. If you want to see a very unhappy bug in his hood go to my facebook pictures. I kept it because even when he cries he's cute. Though in the moment I don't think so.
I felt really bad on Halloween, I ached all over and had a terribly sore throat. So I dragged myself and Conner over to my parents house and he went with Grandma to choir practice while I took a much needed nap. Conner has been sick as well, but I am feeling much better thank goodness. How do you take care of an active one year old when all you want to do is curl up on the couch and sleep the day away? I am still trying to figure these things out. Aren't we supposed to have a special mommy immunity that allows us to weather all the sicknesses of our kids so we can take care of them?
Growing up it seemed as though my mom had that special power. Maybe she was just lucky. I know she kissed her babies as much as I kiss mine. We women cannot resist baby cheeks. They are just too soft and kissable.
Anyway, even though we didn't get out much Halloween weekend, we were able to pass out candy and Conner played in my parent's yard for a while in his costume.
This Halloween was memorable for all the wrong reasons but at least it was memorable. We did manage to get some cute pictures of Conner in costume. Next year will be our first year of trick-or-treating. Can't wait!

Here are those cute pictures...We love our bony boy!!!
