We took Connor to the park today...

and when we were done Connor got a hankering for some...


PIE!

We took Connor to his first ever movie at the movie theater yesterday.



It was a lot of fun. We weren't expecting too much, and had already decided that if he got antsy that we would just have to call it a day. He lasted the entire movie though! He loved watching the dogs, naming things he saw and mimicking the sounds he heard in the movie. He was generally quiet, and I really don't think the other people in the theater would have anything to complain about him being there.

We're looking forward to doing this again when another kiddy movie hits the theaters!

Try to say "Purple Puffy Puppies" 10 times fast without laughing.

That's how Mike and I spent most of our trip home from Portland after his birthday dinner. I have no idea how we got started on tongue twisters, but it made us laugh so much that Connor joined in on the laughter.

I love moments like those.

For a few months now I've been trying to talk Mike into letting us switch rooms with Connor. Connor at his young age has acquired many a toy and we were just running out of space in his room and my living room was being taken over aggressively! Finally, after this past Christmas, Mike caved and agreed to the switch.

Yesterday we started in on it, and boy was it a task I was not prepared for. There was no set plan... we just started moving things... that was the first bad idea. I attempted to disassemble Connor's crib and move it across the hall. As I entered the doorway I heard a loud snap and knew instantly what had happened. I broke my baby's crib! It was the worst feeling ever. We didn't know what to do. We had two options; Buy a new crib that he'll probably only use for another couple of months, or proceed to the big boy bed. We chose the latter.







I think he likes it. He slept in it for a good 5 hours last night before waking up and crawling into bed with us. We definitely have a long road ahead of us but we're up for the challenge! ...I think.

Oh and I broke his dresser too... it was a bad night.

His signs aren't exactly perfect, but he tries, and we know what he means. This week he has learned so much. I can't believe how fast he is growing right now.
