First Christmas in Edina, Minnesota
We celebrated Christmas at my parent's house in Edina, Minnesota with Connor's great grandma Ruth - "GGMa." What a fun time to see him in his element - crawling all over the place, playing with the wrapping paper, and exploring with his new toys. As I'm sure you could have guessed, he enjoyed playing with the wrapping paper and boxes than the actual toys at first.
He finally sat still by the tree
Christmas Eve with daddy
He must not have gotten Grandma's memo about not opening presents before Christmas...
Eating some Cheerios Christmas morning
Climbing up one of his gifts rather than opening it
Excited about his stocking from Santa!
Connor's first Christmas!
How cute are these? Grandma Cathy had them made with each other her grandkid's hands when they were babies... Tanner Taylor, Connor, and Charlie!
Sledding
Keith and Pop Pop wanted to take Connor sledding so we went to my elementary school and took him sledding. Connor did NOT enjoy it... hopefully he will next time we go up there in the winter!
Getting ready to sled
This has to be one of my faves!
Not sure about this whole sledding thing...
The face says it all :)
Smiles with Grandma
Grandma and Pop Pop
The Bratton's have a baby (James) that is just a few weeks older than Connor... how fun to see them interact with each other! It looked like they were looking in the mirror when they first saw each other. What crazy little personalities they both have!
It was so interesting... in the 11 days that Connor and I were in Minnesota, he went from occassionally crawling and mostly army crawling to totally crawling and being able to sit himself up from any position. Pop Pop and Grandma loved seeing his progress! He even started eating Cheerios... yum!
Our plane ride home from Minnesota went just as great as the ride up - an answer to many prayers! He slept part of the way, crawled back and forth on our laps, and ate lots of Cheerios!
2nd First Christmas in Marietta, Georgia
On Saturday when we returned, we celebrated Christmas with Keith's side of the family at our house. Connor was on his best behavior and loved getting to open presents again :)
Climbing in the presents
Grandma put a bow on his head...
Future NFL star!
Connor played while daddy assembled his car!
He's up to no good...
Christmas with grandparents
Mattie didn't like that Connor tried to steal her treats
He loves his new car!
The easiest way to describe Connor lately is busy and curious. Now that he's able to move everywhere, he has started to pull himself up and is curious as to what is in every corner of our house! He loves playing with his new Christmas toys and chasing balls throughout the house.
