It has been awhile since I last updated the blog so I thought it was about time! Nothing huge has been going on with us, but I know everyone would want to see updated pictures of Connor and hear all the amazing things he is doing.
Connor is now 13 months old and he is keeping us busy! He has been walking for 3 months now and he is getting quite quick. He loves being chased, exploring the backyard, and just being a boy! His most recent word was 'yea' after he found the toy he was searching for under our good friend, Shelby's hand. Since Connor is half Collar it was only natural for him to be neat and tidy. He loves helping me vacuum, cleaning up the table after he eats, and lucky for me putting away his toys!
We have an annual membership to the zoo, so we try to go as often as the weather allows us. This was our most recent trip and it was a lot more fun because Connor was more interested in the animals and now that he is walking it is much more fun for him!
Monkey Biziness is a local, indoor playground that we enjoy visiting often. Greg finally was able to go with us and he had just as much fun as Connor on the 17 foot inflatable slide!
Connor loves his books and luckily he has a lot! We have two huge baskets full of them under our end table so he can easily 'read' to himself or of course let us read to him!
Since Connor is now 1 he can be in a big boy carseat. While Greg was figuring out all the ins and outs of the new carseat Connor found the box much more fun!
The boys are so good with Connor and he loves them so much. He now plays fetch with them, pets them, and loves having them chase him around the house.
Connor and I watched from above!
They have one more set of lessons and they are next considering joining a league so they can actually compete. I'll keep you all posted on their abilities to being Olympians!

This is not a flattering picture of Connor, but I love it! He is enjoying some of his candy! We had a great family Easter and I hope everyone did as well!
If the sun is shining Connor wants to be outside so we've gathered up all his outdoor toys and as you can see he loves it outside!
Of course the boys love being outside too!
Greg was raking the front yard (getting rid of all the dead grass) and Connor was having a great time playing in it.
One of Connor's favorite things is helping to vacuum, here is our little helper.

Recently we bought bikes for Greg and I along with a carrier for Connor. It has been a great workout for me as I'm towing him behind my bike. We have had amazing weather lately so going for a nice bike ride with a stop at the park has happened several days this past week!

Connor absolutely loves balloons so of course we had to get him plenty for his birthday!
During the party we put the dogs in the basement and they wanted to be a part of the party very badly. Here are each of the dogs peering through the cat door.
All the fun we had!
Connor enjoying his birthday cupcake. He wasn't so sure about it until I gave him a little taste of it. The funny part was he wouldn't touch the cake, but he loved it so I guess that made a good birthday!

Opening presents.
We also celebrated Connor's baptism this past weekend. Here is the all dressed up Connor kissing his new stuffed puppy from his Aunt Shannon and Uncle Jason.
Connor was a trooper during the service and baptism. Here is our family and his godparents, Aunt Lea and Uncle Matt.
All of us celebrating a great weekend!
