Before we leave for our big family trip to Alaska, I wanted to get one more post in of our August happenings this far....
When Connor and I came home from Boise we stayed in Seattle with my good friend Suzanne and her family, they have a little girl who's 6 months older than Connor so he got to play with her toys ;-) He doesn't seem to mind that they are pink!
Playing with his toes, but looking back on this now, I think he was pointing to his hidden tooth. :-).. (he's currently teething- or at least we think he is... which won't be fun on vacation, but that's life :-)
Connor is saying: " I LOVE THESE NEW TOYS.. THEY ARE ALWAYS HERE!!"
We've started giving Connor some solids, he seems to enjoy it.. but he INSISTS that he help put the spoon in his mouth, so I've basically started letting him feed himself.. crazy! He has great aim too! This is a video of him using a spoon to feedhimself:
Spoon feeding himself already at only 5 months old!
So Connor has decided he DOESN'T like the ERGO carrier- which was what we planned to use in Alaska, but thanks to our good friends here in Omak for lending us their backpack to practice with (and thanks to Shane and Suzanne for letting us use theirs in Alaska.) we've all been able to get used to using a backpack carrier, Connor LOVES it! This is Jeremy using is to feed the animals one evening :-)
Uncle Braden stopped by during Stampede, Connor was geting a kick out of chewing on his chin, Braden was being a GREAT sport :-) By th time I got the camera, Connor had had enough.. but its still a cute photo!
The night before we left there was alot to do, so Nicole put Connor in the backpack and started working away, next thing she knew Connor was passed out, rather than carry around all that extra weight, Jeremy and I got him off my back and propped against the couch with a blankie so he could just take a little nap :-)
He stayed like this for about an hour!
Connor rolls basically anytime you put him on his back now.. here is a video of him when he first started rolling:

Connor is almost out of his infant carseat already.... so I had to look back on how much he's grown... it's AMAZING!! :-)
Almost time to transition to the convertible carseat! The head rest is as high as it can go and he's almost too tall! It's made to go to 30 lbs or 30 in whichever happens first... he's almost to 28".... so I guess he's pretty close :-)
We fly out Friday morning for Alaska.. we hope to stop at some internet coffee shops every few days to update the blog :-) Wish us and our 3 large suitcases, carseat, stroller, backpack carrier, and 3 backpack carryons luck!!! (traveling with kids doesn't mean traveling light!)
