Ready, Set, Almost...

Connor has kept on growing. He is now 6 months old and not really wanting to take anything easy. He has been starting to raise himself up off the ground for a while now, but lately has been starting to lunge forward. Watch out, world! Here he comes! We definitely have started closing the babygate at the top of the basement stairs, since Mr. Wonderful has been rolling around the living room. We left him in the middle of a blanket the other day with a handful of toys around, stepped away for a couple of seconds, came back and he was at the very edge of the blanket, trying to get under the couch... We can't imagine what it will be like when he starts crawling and walking! He is attracted to the dogs. He kind of half-pulls/rolls to where they lay near him and then they get up and move. He is much more vocal lately and still a pretty happy-go-lucky kid! The scene at the very beginning is Connor watching Spongebob Squarepants for the first time. He was just jumping along and then froze when we channel-surfed to it. Lights, high pitched (annoying) sounds, & colors, all of Connor's favorite things! He didn't have the same reaction today though, which we take as good news! Hope all is well with everyone! Let us hear from you if we haven't in a while. With Love!

Christmas Video

The video of Connor's first Christmas is on youtube, since it was such a large video. We had our sixth month check up a couple of weeks ago. Connor weighed in at 20 lbs. and 27.5 inches long. The nurse told us that was the 40th percentile for height and weight and the 24th for head circumference. Sarah & I both assumed that Connor had just come back to earth with his growth so it didn't bother us at all. The doctor came in a couple minutes after the nurse to tell us that she had plotted Connor's height and weight on the 9 month growth chart and not the 6 month chart. Connor is still in the 90th percentile for height and weight. He tries to pull himself up if you give him your fingers while he is laying down. He rolls over and has now started to hold his body in the air when we set him on his hands and knees. Enjoy the video because we are really enjoying him! Check him out in the jumpy, he loves to jump!!! Hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday, back to work on Monday! :(



With Love.
