Happy 1st Birthday Connor!!

I seriously cannot believe that it is my baby's first birthday today! It's just so crazy! This is Connor the day he was born, a year ago today!!! He was such a little cutie, and still is.

This was the first time Cade met Connor and the 1st family picture of all of us, a year ago!

Connor is allowed to drink milk!!! I am very excited, this means I finally get to wean him :) Connor was much better w/ drinking milk than Cade was. He took right to it. This may have something to do w/ Connor taking off with Cade's sippy cups every once in a while and stealing a sip or two but, who knows for sure. But, I think he's going to do great w/ the transition.

Connor's birthday breakfast. I thought about making eggs since he is officially allowed to eat them, but he just had them last night, so never mind. I decided to fill his breakfast full of chocolate instead, w/ that cookie cereal and a chocolate chip granola bar. Look at that face! Don't you just want to squeeze those cheeks?

This was last night for Cade's birthday dinner. It was a lot of firsts for Connor. He had his first eggs, his first strawberries and orange juice, and ate up every last bite of everything. I figured it was fine for him to eat all of these b/c his 1st birthday was the next day, right?

Watching us fly the kite last night. He is such a silly kid. I had to put him in the stroller b/c he kept trying to crawl away, in the street, in the dirt pile next to our house and even the deep pit (they're finally building a house next door). Look at that hair, it was seriously so windy.

Just like Cade, he loves to get into things, anything he can fit in.

He looves being outside. But, instead of drawing w/ the sidewalk chalk, he'd much rather eat it.

He is a little cautious when it comes to being in the grass, but quickly gets over it.

He tries so hard to be as mobile as Cade is at the park. Here he is trying to climb up the step to get to the slide.

He loves to, and is very good at climbing up the stairs now. We are lucky though, he usually stays away from them unless he knows someone is up there, then he'll try to follow them.

And finally, I just love that big bum of his! haha He is very quick and gets away from me during diaper changes. I thought this pose was so dang cute so I just had to grab the camera. He really does like going through all the books, whether that is just to throw them all over the ground or to actually look through them.
Connor is such a joy in our lives. He is growing up so fast. I just can't believe all he is able to do. He already says a few things, "That" is his biggest thing he says. But, he is already so verbal. He has a big personality and is so much fun. Connor loves Cade so much and will follow him anywhere he goes. He is a big Mommy's boy and will choose me over Daddy, or anybody else, if given a choice. We just love him so much and couldn't imagine our lives w/o him.
Happy 1st Birthday my little Connor Wonnor!
