Getaway

Saturday afternoon we headed out to Kananaskis Village for the night. The weather was gorgeous as well as the scenery. Connor was a bit more excited to go biking this time around. They have a beautiful paved trail but due to some shady spots there was still some snow on sections. It made for quiet an adventure.
Connor kept wanting to look at Tim's hat instead of the camera but was content to wear it. He loves his daddy so much.
1st ride on the slide. After a few times he was smiling and asking to do it again. It is amazing how he can communicate by pointing and grunting.

Yesterday Connor wanted to spend every moment outside. I had just given Sadie some water and Connor had fun playing in it while Sadie drank. She is so good with him. He will throw her toy just a bit and she plays along, catching it and bringing it back to him. In the heifer pen this morning Sadie stood solid between the calves and Connor. Although Connor really wanted to play with the calves Sadie wouldn't let him get too close.

Yahoo!!

I know it seems odd to be so excited, but Connor ate bananas this morning. He has refused to eat any sort of fruit that isn't pureed until today. I know it could only be a one time thing but this past week he has added several different foods to his diet. He had 2 molars poke thru last week and his appetite seems to have returned.

He is changing so quickly. You can tell he is trying to copy everything you say. The other day while I was reading him a story I said cock-a-doodle-do. He copied with a cock-a-doo. It was the sweetest thing. He doesn't just walk now he is basically on the run all the time - making it very hard to get anything accomplished while he is awake. One of his favorite things to do is to stand on a chair beside me while I make supper or bake something. He is fascinated about it. Sunday morning was the last day he nursed. I am sure he would go on forever if I let him but I decided that it was time. I can't wait to go swimming before work on Friday!!

Growing up too fast

Connor is into climbing onto and into things lately. This afternoon while visiting Granny he climbed up her 4 porch stairs all by himself.
Mama and Papa got Connor a wagon to help me in the garden with as well as the beautiful growth chart below.

Everybody was up at our place for Easter except my sister and her family. Connor is definitely cutting some new teeth so he was not his usual self. But he warmed up to Uncle Dave quickly and had a blast.

He loves playing under the table or office desk.
