Look at the hair! It is getting so shaggy and I love it!! It also made me smile that we were able t capture bunny in these 12 months pictures! That is all for now - the amazing and talented Mary Pat is going to take some great one year pictures of the little guy - so you can stay tuned for that!

Oh how I miss all those sweet summer clothes!!

I love these, look at those little legs!

You thought I was done with the birthday stuff, weren't you? I am sorry folks - not quite yet. Just a few more so bear with me! I have tried to get some pictures taken of Connor at each of his "milestone" months. I am a little off, ie: this is roughly three months, maybe a little closer to 2.5 months, but you get the picture. I was going through all of them and had to share. Look at how much our baby has grown this year! Remember hern-dog??

Ho, Ho, Ho!

I couldn't resist - how cute is our little Santa man? I still can't believe he is just standing there - how big this sweet boy is getting. Every time he stands we cheer so he know looks at everyone like "come on, I am doing it!!"

Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning!! We were so excited to see that Santa made a visit! On a side note, it was REALLY fun playing Santa this year!!!! I already can't wait for next year. We had such a wonderful Christmas and we just feel so blessed. As we drove by the hospital on the way to the Johnson Christmas we just looked at each other and said how thankful we were to spend Christmas with family this year and not in the hospital like last year. We are so thankful for all the wonderful blessings in our lives, especially our sweet Connor! Please excuse my 19 chins - here is the clan on Christmas morning! We were just getting ready to make some breakfast. We had kind of a different Christmas this year - my Granny called on Wednesday night and said she and Clete had just gotten the shingles vaccine and when they went home they read that they were supposed to stay away from children. So, I called the pediatrician the next morning and sure enough, they had to stay away from Connor for SIX WEEKS! Thankfully they are leaving for Gulf Shores for the winter, but we were so sad that we wouldn't be able to spend Christmas with them! So, while my mom and Davey went to my mom's side of the family, we went straight over to the Johnson's! It was a great Christmas and we will see my aunt's/uncles and cousins tonight! No one was too disappointed though when they saw that Davey was here!! :)
Someone is getting really good at standing all my himself!

Our little family getting ready to head over to see Nana, Grandpa, Aunt Jen, Paw Paw and Uncle Johnathan!

Loving his retro rocket!
Turning the light on and off in his new kitchen!

standing SO BIG on his own! He is getting so close to taking those first official steps - we THINK he may have taken some - but we are waiting to see it again before calling if official :)
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Eve!

So, the pictures are backwards, but I was too lazy to fix them. Anyone else sometimes feel like that after the holidays!? Ha! We started out the holiday weekend with our annual exchange with the Erker/Diehr family. We went to Annie and George's house this year so they didn't have to take their sweet, sweet six week old TWIN girlies out in the cold!! We had such a great time - I held cute babies, Connor and Frankie played - it was great! The food was delicious and the company was pretty great too. It was so nice to start off the holiday season spending time with great friends! After that we went to my Uncle Bill and Uncle David's house for Christmas Eve dinner. We had a great time and the food was delicious! Connor was great considering we were out WAY past his bedtime and their house is not exactly child friendly. Say cheese Granny!
I just thought he looked a little too cute sitting at the big table in his little chair! He seriously ate a pound of sweet potatoes I think - he cleared his plate and then mine!
How cute are these two?! Neither one of them really wanted to have their picture taken, but they looked too cute to pass it up! I have another picture where Connor is just staring at Frankie like, am I going to be that big someday?! Too cute!!
We had such a great Christmas Eve - after dinner we were tuckered out and ready to see if Santa would visit in the morning!
