11 months!

The little guy is looking a lot more like a little boy than a baby lately!The photos from this month came out surprisingly well. I figured he'd be all over the place and crawling away, but we caught him at a good time and he posed perfectly!


Ah, he's so darn cute!

It really amazes me how much he's grown and how much he's learned in such a short time. He's like a little person now! I can also see his attachment for his Mommy now which is very special to me.

Basketball Champ

Since Daddy is quite the basketball player, Connor must have his own little hoop, right? This was the last toy that was unopened from the holidays and I figured it was a good time to open it since he'll be getting so many more for his birthday soon.

I thought it might be a good opportunity to have Daddy show Connor how to play. I threaten to teach him to throw like a girl. But Connor seemed more interested in "dunking" by bending the net and knocking the whole thing over!

Why play with the net when you can just chase after the orange ball?

Yum!

I took these photos last week right after we opened the box. Last night, we had a little training session and he wasn't very interested in putting the ball in the hoop. He just kept clapping instead. (Sorry Daddy, but he's quite the little cheerleader!) But I'm proud to say that Connor learned to put the basketball in the net this morning!

Tunnel Vision

Kitty's toys have become quite enjoyable for Connor. The other day, I pulled out Kitty's leopard tunnel and we had some fun. First, we watched Kitty run through it and giggled as Kitty reached through the holes to grab my hands. Then, Connor crawled over to one end of the tunnel and I went to the other end.
He looked inside.

Peek-a-boo!

I was so proud of him because he figured it out all by himself!
