I can not believe that it's almost mid-October and I CAN NOT BELIEVE that my baby has turned one! Our precious Connor has absolutely warmed our hearts and keep us grounded and laughing throughout a year full of change and transition. I've been smitten with this little guy since day one and life is all the more wonderful with him in it! We love you, sweet C!
His one-year-old party theme: balloons! It was worth blowing up all one-hundred of them to see the look on his face when I took him out in the backyard for the first time. Mommy cruelly put this grouping way out of reach, but it didn't keep the little man from trying to get to them anyway!
He's still trying to figure out why everyone just stopped what they were doing to stare at him and sing, "Happy Birthday!" It's classic that Robert is eyeing Connor's cupcake, no doubt wondering how he can stuff his own in his mouth fast enough to grab Connor's and devour it as well before either parent could spoil his plan...
Daddy's on the other end of this laugh...
And this one, too...
Seeing his gifts on the morning of his birthday...
Enjoying a birthday breakfast...
This birthday celebration has been especially fun because we're getting to experience it with an older, and far more aware, brother. Robert really was precious with Connor and seemed genuinely happy to join mommy and daddy in giving Connor special attention throughout the day. The boys and I went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch (our first trip since our move, believe it or not!) and then we got a free ride on the carousel at the mall. Connor, we're SO glad God made you!!
Love this sight!
And this one.
And this one.
We were leaving the park the other day and saw this.
On Saturday we met up with some of our best friends from college to watch a soccer game. Connor was bundled up, donning his hat and mittens for the first time this fall. Too cute!
Robert and Carolina hit it off! Sparks were definitely flying. :)
Last weekend my entire family came to stay with us for my Dad's 60th birthday. We had a blast, but I lost my camera shortly before the majority of the family arrived (it has since been recovered). Here are just a few shots from our Saturday morning together.
Robert and Connor LOVED the time with their grandparents.
