Some pics from the last night...

Here are some cute pictures of Connor from last night. Yes, I know it is a little early for Santa suits, but I was trying it on because Connor had his Christmas pictures made today. We had to get them made early in order to get the Christmas cards back in time. He did great as always! The Santa suit is a little big, well a lot big, but we really wanted him to wear it since he looked so cute in his hat AND I am not convinced he will fit into it next year with the way his head is growing! I bought it at a consignment sale and it was sized 24 months which means it will probably fit perfectly next Christmas. As you can see he looked adorable in it and had us cracking up with him little ears bent over! I think he looks like a little elf that is trying to play the part as Santa!

Connor has changed so much just in the last week, it is amazing! He is pulling up to standing position now, crawling everywhere, can ride his play car, and is interacting on a different level now. Instead of us playing peekaboo, he now starts the game by pulling his blanket up over his head and then lowers it with a big smile on his face waiting for you to say "boo". It is so fun to watch him learn new things every day. His new thing is whenever he gets hurt, like hitting his head on the wall, floor, etc., he will repeat it again as if to see if it "really" hurts or not. If so, he will cry, if his isn't sure he will look at me to see what my reaction is. The other night we were cracking up because he kept banging his head against the wall. The other new thing he is doing is NOT going to sleep when I lay him down for naps anymore. Starting at 7 months we could lay him down and he would curl up and go to sleep on his own. Now, no matter how tired he is, he will just play and play till he cant hold his eyes open anymore. Then he cries and throws his pacifier so that I will come to his assistance. They are such smart little creatures. Anyway, those are a few things that the Connor man has been up to lately.

I would also like to ask for every one's prayers for my grandfather. We just found out that instead of having laryngitis, he has a large mass pressing against his larynx nerves, pulmonary artery, and aorta. We don't know yet whether it is malignant or not, but the opinions of 2 doctors are that it is inoperable. He is going to see a specialist about it to see what, if any treatment can be done. Please pray that they can find some way to treat this and that it isn't cancerous. I will keep you all posted on this. I hope you all are having a great fall and are doing well!
