Summer Fun!!

We have been taking a bunch of video clips of Connor, but just haven't had time to load them to You Tube.. but I finally got it done, so I apologize for there being so many at once.. but here are a few fun videos of Connor this past month and a half :-)

Connor is starting to grasp toys and when he was about 3 months old, he shook a rattle for the first time.. I got it on video :-)


He started reaching for things a while ago, but this video shows just how much he is batting at and reaching for toys.. this play mat is one of his favorites:


Connor and I went to Boise in the middle of June for Parma convention, Grandma Shelly was changing him into his PJ's and she had him just giggling up a storm! SOO glad we got it on video:


While we were in Boise, Connor also got to go for his first swim... He loved it! can't wait until we go back so he can swim again (next time it will be warmer and we can stay in a little longer!)


Connor finds it hilarious and intriguing watching Duke, our black lab, chase his ball. I decided to hold him on Dukes back while he waited to be released to chase his ball. When Duke disappeared, Connor thought it was the funniest thing ever. The video quality is HORRIBLE and its so dark it's hard to see what's going on, but it still cute :-)


July has been SOO busy.. but we've still managed to find time to play :-)

Jeremy and Connor hanging out after work one evening

Connor hugging his favorite blankie :-)

We're not feeding Connor solids quite yet, but likely will soon, We have given him tastes just to experiment and experience nerw tastes and textures. This is him sucking on a watermelon, he loved it :-)

I realized I haven't gotten any pictures of Connor with the dogs, so here he is hanging out with Duke and Daisy.. They were loving it! Connor didn't mind either.

Connor loves to stand up now, obviously we still have to hold him, but he has some strong little legs under all those rolls :-) (Speaking of Chunky legs.. I gave in and bought a Bumbo chair for Connor now that he loves to sit upright, got it home, went to sit him in it and... eeearch.... his legs didn't fit! "you have to be kidding me, my babys legs are to fat for the Bumbo!!" O well, I was hesitant about having one anyways... Still fun to laugh about :-)

Connor continues to loves anything with water, showers, baths, so I decided to try out the bath chair.. he loved it! He even tried to grab at the ducks, and seemed confused when they sank under his hand. When he did get one where he wanted it,straight to the mouth!

Jeremy's cousin Jenny got married this past weekend, so we were back in Spokane again, it was a rushed weekend, but a beautiful wedding and so nice to see all the family!

This is Connor before the wedding, he was a happy camper being in the stroller. He didn't seem to mind his hat either :-).. He got so much attention being dressed like this.. and because he's just so cute too!!

Us before the wedding

Momma and her boy!!

Jenny and her Dad (Jeremy's uncle Bob)
YEAH... married!

The next thing on the agenda for our busy summer is fishing.. :-) Nicole's family (Dad, Mom, Grandpa and Brother) is coming to Omak for 2 days of Salmon fishing, then Nicole's brother will stay in Omak for a week. Nicole will drive Brian back to Boise next Thursday, which is the same day Jeremy leaves for Alaska for a weekend of fishing with his brother and a few other guys. Nicole will spend a few days in Boise, then a few in Seattle with her best friend. Should be FUN! Looking a month ahead is our big family trip to Alaska~ Jeremy, Connor and I are renting an RV and going to see as much of Alaska as possible (well to some degree, with gas at over $4 a gallon and only getting 8 mpg, we will limit the driving) We are both getting very excited for this trip! Hopefully my next post we're holding monster Salmon!!
