At one year it's getting hard to get him to lie down for this picture. The one below may be the last one we take for awhile. He seems to be slowing down a little. (Dr. Addy says he's 80th percentile for height and 40th percentile for weight - tall and skinny. Who are this kid's parents?)

Some more pics

We've finally convinced Connor to take real baths, instead of sponge baths. He still doesn't really like it though, so someone has to get in with him. But once he's out and wrapped up in his cozy towel he feels much better!

Once again, everyone sitting on Mom.

He's off and running!

We've even convinced him to wear shoes. He wasn't so sure at first. We never put little baby shoes on him because - well, what does he need them for? Apparently to get used to wearing shoes. But after a couple hours of fussing the first day he's fine with them. So now he can get down and walk around when we go out. Too bad stores aren't baby-proof.

Chirstmas and Connor's first birthday

Sorry it's been so long. It is spring break for GVSU so I'm working at home and have a little time to update the blog.

Connor started walking at Christmas (he's been walking along furniture for a few months, but now he's free-roaming). He much prefers walking to crawling and he's getting pretty quick. Any time he hears a door open he's there within seconds.

I hope to have some more pictures from our family Christmas once I collect up pictures from the rest of the family, but here are a few from his birthday. We didn't throw a big party - we just took him with us to a Superbowl party. (Happy Colts fans!)

Mom made a cookie!

Connor got to try a little, but the rest got eaten at the Superbowl party.
