"What this is?"

This is one of Connor's frequent questions.  

I love it!

Build a Bear

Another cold Saturday last weekend, so we decided to do something extra special with Connor.  He got a Build a Bear gift card for Christmas and it was the perfect day to use it.  I think he was a little overwhelmed when we first walked in, but he got excited when he saw all the stuffed animals.  He picked out a really soft doggy to build and we waited in line to get it stuffed.

A little hug for his new doggy before stuffing!

After he got stuffed, we gave him a bath and brushed his hair.

After much debate, he decided he wanted the dog to have a basketball more than he cared about any of the clothes.  We ended up going with a Bulls uniform that came with a basketball.  Connor probably loved making the birth certificate the most because we got to use a computer!

After bear making, we headed over to the play area and snacked on some Auntie Anne's pretzels.  Connor was awesome playing by himself without getting too clingy and scared!

Valentine's Day Outtakes

It took some hard work to get perfect photos for Daddy's Valentine's Day gift.  With the help of Grammy and Grandpa and some old toys in my childhood bedroom, we got some adorable poses!  But here are some of the funny ones we didn't use...

This was our favorite!  I was holding up the heart to my stomach so they could take a picture of my baby bump, so Connor grabbed his heart, pulled up his shirt, and did the same thing!
