7 months old

The only really exciting thing that has happened in our lives, or Tims I should say; is the number of phone calls he is getting. We bought a truck a while ago and put the car up for sale on kijiji but nobody was biting so we put it in the local buy and sell. Well I didn't really want to pay for a big ad just to sell the cars so I went to the free ads. Thinking free adds meant a free ad not a free car. Anyways I think Tim has gotten about 100 calls on the free grand prix. Every time his cell rang I would always giggle. He said for my Christmas present he is listing a free truck and listing both my cell and the house number!!!

Sunday afternoon we took a stroll through the pasture and took some pictures. We have lots of pictures on Connor (obviously), Connor with Tim, but not so many with me and Connor. So Tim wanted to get some pictures.
I somehow seem to take pictures with Tim's head cut off when we use the timer. I guess we are going to have to bug somebody to take a family picture of us so the top of his head is included.

Connor has been lovin' his baths now that we finally moved him to the big tub. The small one on the counter was so much easier for us. Our little guy is now 7 months old, I can hardly believe it. The other night we were watching Tim play hockey. Of course Connor wants to see everything so he had his face plastered to the window. But when he finally got bored he found a bolt holding the two panes of plastic together. Also around that time I brought a book out for him to look at. It was super cute cuz he would look at his book for a bit and then play with the bolt, then look at his book again and then try the bolt again. What can I say???

Fall

Last week Connor discovered how to eat baby mum-mums - and it doesn't take long!!
Last week I came home to Sadie dancing in the garden. Then I realized that there was a really hairy thing in the garden with her too. My first thought was a rat. But then after calling Tim I realized it was a mole. I know you are all laughing at me now. But until then I had never seen a mole. You can see it jumping at Sadie. It was very comical to watch.

After Connor's nap this afternoon I decided I needed some new pictures of him. So below are a few that I captured.

This one is my favorite. He always finds Sadie very amusing and always gives her this smile.

No this wasn't posed. He just fell over and was totally content still.

Happy Thanksgiving

This past weekend we enjoyed many cherished family moments. We went down to M&D for Saturday and Sunday and then down the Greg & Laura's in Lethbridge on Monday. Unfortunately Connor was napping when the family went down to the park and I missed my photo op for the Earle side.

As soon as Owen woke up from his nap he wanted to play with baby Connor. They had to play banker, farmer, athlete.... You name it they played it. Mom and Dad have an old farmset of my brothers and we played with the tractors quite a bit. But we didn't have any bales to feed the cows; so we used stale bales. Owen had to try about 2 of them before they were fit for the cows.
Owen is always pulling a chair into the kitchen to help out. Saturday night he was helping Uncle Tim and did a great job.

Connor is finally letting others hold him without freaking out. He did so good all weekend and showed his smile off to anyone who would pay attention to him. Here he is having a conversation with Papa.

Finally we got a picture of all 3 grandboys without one crying. But notice my son has his soother in to keep him from crying. Oh well, they had so much fun together.

He can Jump!!

I had to post this video cuz Connor has finally gotten the hang of the jolly jumper. It is such a wonderful creation especially when I am trying to get supper on the table.

Out and About

Beth is letting us use this back pack to see if we would like to buy it. Connor loves it. This was the first day that he was in it and you can tell by his reaction that he is ok with it.
When I put Connor in his crib if I need my hands free he entertains himself with the mobile. He is into grabbing the critters as they move around and he doesn't do it very quietly either.

The other day we were in the basement and he spotted his cow and let us know that he wanted to play with it. He did really good and a few times he was holding it on his own.

This past Saturday we woke up to snow. I knew it was going to be a long day so we went out west with the guys to bring some cattle home.

The snow didn't seem to bother Connor!!
