Wanna be a Baller

We broke out Connor's "big boy" hoop last week that he got for his birthday. (A shout out to Justen, Scottie & Janeen the gift givers!) We like to think that Connor is a natural...dunking his basketball on the first try. Oops, except for that technical foul for hanging on the rim.

The Cousins

Day-de got invited to go play with her new cousin, Dodger. Dodger is a little Golden Retriever puppy with a LOT of energy. I used to think that Daisy could out "energy" any man, woman, dog. I stand corrected. Dodger 1; Daisy 0. She could hold her own against that young lad, but he had her panting & resting on the tile floor by the end of the night.

Connor on the other hand could have watched those two ALL. NIGHT. LONG.

Oh, Dodger...can you come over and baby sit Daisy & Connor soon?

Camping is...MY FAVORITE THING!

Playing in the tent was...MY FAVORITE THING!

Chilling by the campfire with my Dad & Uncle Troy was...MY FAVORITE THING!

Eating was (and always has been)...MY FAVORITE THING!

Riding in my wagon was ...MY FAVORITE THING!

Playing in the ocean was...MY FAVORITE THING!

Playing football with the guys was...MY FAVORITE THING!

Playing in the sand was...MY FAVORITE THING!

Hiking in my backpack was...MY FAVORITE THING!

I slept all night until 7:30am, which was my parents...FAVORITE THING:)

In one week...

In one week Connor has accomplished the following:
1) Switching to only 1 nap (We are mourning the loss of one free hour of napping time, because he literally dropped one WHOLE hour out of his sleeping schedule. He does not go to bed earlier. He does not sleep in one minute later. If you see me & I look tired/grumpy, you now know why.)
2) Walking in a major way all around the whole house. This has already resulted in two bloody lips, which usually only slow him down for about 17 seconds. ALL BOY.
3) Crawling ALL THE WAY outside the doggie door onto our deck. Maybe we can just house-train him and ditch the diapers??

Sorry no pics in this one, he's getting too fast to capture on film! Stay tuned for a blog about Connor's first camping trip...

Sharing

At Drew's Birthday party Connor learned to share all of Drew's toys...

...for about 30 seconds. Now if only Drew would share his abundance of hair...Connor could use a tiny bit more. Here's more friends from the party:

(Just in case you were wondering, this is what your living room would look like if you were octo-mom.)

Just another beautiful day at the park...

If swinging was an Olympic sport...we'd be on our way to London, 2012.

Ahhh...a little dip in the "stream" to cool off. It's such hard work playing all day...but mostly for Connor's 'rents!
