If the Shoe Fits...

Mommy and Daddy joke that I have big shoes to fill:

Shoes? What are those?

Mimi and Papa wanted to buy me shoes for my birthday, but the nice lady had to measure my feet first. She kept calling them "5- 1/2 wide". I thought they were called feet!

Mimi and Mommy picked out shoes for the nice lady to put on my feet. I didn't like it one bit!

Mommy asked the shoe lady if I could try a different pair. She was nice and said, "Yes!" I liked them the best. I even got to wear them home!

I eventually warmed up to the other pair, and Mimi and Papa bought me both! The best part was showing off my walking skills to the nice lady who gave me shoes:

Do I have big shoes to fill? Sure thing! But for now, if the shoe fits, wear it, and wear it good!

First Steps

As I mentioned in my Easter blog, Connor has been taking some steps here and there. It is a very exciting milestone both for he and us! We are so proud of him every time he walks his way towards one of us, and, in turn, he squeals with delight. It's mesmerizing to watch a 10 1/2 month old trying with all his might to do something as simple as walking. It's equally awesome to see how proud he is of himself for doing such a thing! It's as if he knows what he is doing is going to make his life a lot easier...easier to run away from Mommy...easier to catch Sox...easier to play with Daddy...

It's been almost a week since his first steps and today he has shown much interest in walking on his own. It's not just a game anymore, going from me to Tom and vice versa. It's a means to an end. He actually WANTS to walk. Everyday, more and more steps are taken, and pretty soon crawling is going to be a thing of the past.

We are happy to show you a clip of Connor's first steps. Enjoy!

A Night Out

The Miller's came home for a few days...wee!

Of course, we had to reunite and have a night out on the town. It was the night before Easter, so we were hurting the next day, but that's o.k. We had fun...being goofy...it's what we all do best!

I actually spent Easter thinking we lost our camera, but, thank goodness, we finally found it!

Mary is actually back for almost 2 weeks, so Connor and Evan can play together. And, Mary and I can have some much needed adult chatter. Yay!

Happy Easter

We spent Connor's first Easter at Mimi and Papa's house. He really enjoyed the new swing they put up for him. He loved going higher and higher.

Then, he was just chillaxin' on the deck after a hard days work of swinging, eating, and, oh, yah...WALKING! (5 steps)
