December already!!!

Time is just flying by!!!  Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, I've been busy crafting away.

Our little boy is showing so much more of his personality these days.  He is back to saying 'mom' all the time.  It almost seems like he knows what it means sometimes, but he's says it all the time so I'm not 100% sure.  We're still trying to catch him saying it on video, but the second I bring the camera out he wants to play with it.  He's started using his pointer finger to point to things in his books.  He has also mastered pushing buttons on the remote with his pointer finger.  He's great at hitting the mute, power and volume buttons!  He's still sweet and snugly also.  He loves to give hugs and if you have his full attention and ask 'Connor can I have a kiss?' he'll give you one!  I just can't get enough of those Connor kisses and I think Chris feels the same.

Connor still isn't a fan of solid foods.  He gags on anything solid that makes it into his mouth.  This past week he has taken to sampling my fruit.  He likes apple slices and thought the pear piece I gave him was delicious.  He really only got juice with the apple, but he actually got some pear.  He gummed half a quarter, before I lost his attention.

He still loves his 'command center' and is getting better and better at jumping and hitting all the buttons.  He also has one of those door jumpers and it's super fun watching him jump around in it.  He looks like a little tigger! We'll have to get a video of that too.

The long awaited Christmas stockings.  They are still not totally done.  I decided not to paint our names on them.  I was too afraid I would ruin them.  I'm going to put our names on those stars.  I still have to paint mine and I have a friend cutting the names out of vinyl for me on her fancy Cricket.

Connor loves looking at himself in this little mirror.  He thinks it's really weird when Chris and I wear hoods.  So when I put his hood up and he saw his reflection this was the response.  

Riley Blake is one of my favorite fabric designers and when they came out with this new line it was the perfect excuse to make Connor another quilt.  I just love the way this one turned out and I think Connor is going to love it too!  The prairie point border is only attached at the base of the triangles so the rest is totally grab-able, which is what Connor will hopefully love.

Connor's Christmas PJ's!  I searched forever for something I liked.  These are perfect!  I usually get Chris and I new PJ's for Christmas eve and Christmas morning, but we don't really new ones, so Connor will have to carry on the tradition this year.  

Connor in front of our Christmas tree.  He just got to watch Chris and I decorate this year, but I'm sure he'll be up for helping next year!
