Getting back into the swing of things

Jeremy started working 6-10s two weeks ago, so to have a night away before the project started the 3 of us went to Leavenworth for the night. It was COLD, but beautiful.. and Connor loved the lights!

All bundled up!!

For Presidents Day weekend, Jeremy's cousin Angela, her husband Dave and their daughter Teagan came to visit. Teagan and Connor are only a few days apart so it's always fun to see them together.

Connor and Teagan kids playing on laptops.... the one is real, the other a toy...

We had Casey, Lisa and Lizzy over one night when Dave and Angela were here, this is the 3 kiddos playing together (well more just playing by themselves in the same general area :-) Lizzy is 6 mo oldr than Connor and Teagan..

We took pictures of the kids for their 10 mo. these are a few of them together... I'll post the ones of just Connor with his 11 mo ones later. :-)

Because of Jeremy working so much, Connor and I have been hanging out at home alot. These are some pictures of just that:

FINALLY gots a good photo of his teeth.. in this photo there are 4 teeth, but now he has 6 :-)

We finally got some snow, we really haven't had any since Thanksgiving, and I was starting to worry that buying a sled for Connor was a waste, but we finally got some snow a few weeks ago. Here's a few pictures of us enjoying it!

The dogs thought it was pretty cool being out in the snow too!

watching the snow fall!

This one is after the sled tipped over.... didn't like sledding as much after he face planted... I felt horrible!

Connor loves that he can get around now which means he can follow and play with Duke and Daisy. Here he is sharing chapstick with Duke...

Connor and I went with a good friend of mine Tawn and her girls to Pentiction Canada to go swimming last Saturday. Connor loved it and it was so nice to get out of the cold into some warm water :-)

Floating around.... watching all the kids play..

Lydia and Gwyn checking out Connor out... He was starting to get sleepy at this point :-)

He wasn't into posing for the photo just wanted to touch my face... ;-)

Connor sitting in the shallow water next to one of the fountains...

Dad and Connor practicing crawling, Connor is getting around SOO well!! :-)

Dad reading bedtime stories with Connor

Eating Oatmeal.. normally I feed it to him with a spoon, but this morning he wanted to eat it with his hands, and i'm all about making messes....:-) and oatmeal is sticky messy! But he had fun and learned all sorts of cool stuff in the process, so I call it a great meal!

Another side note: Connor is sleeping great!! I can lay him down with a warm blankie, some lullaby music and he goes to sleep on his own now!! YEAH.. and usually sleeps through the night- unless he's not feeling well (which between teething and a cold, has been more frequent lately...) but I am loving the extra time it gives me to get things done and the ease of putting him to bed/naps. Connor also seems to be so much happier to play independently now that he can explore a little, I don't have to be holding him all the time, which has also allowed me to get a few more things done!~ Things are going great.. it's hard to believe that in a month he'll be a year!!! I didn't believe people when they said it goes so fast!! But I do now.... it FLYS!!! Well I hear Connor waking up from his nap, so until next post! :-)
