Pops comes to Visit

Dear Conor,

Pops came once more for his monthly visit and this time he brought Uncle Justin and Andrea along with him. This was the first time that you have met Andrea and you haven't seen Uncle Justin in a while!

On 8.20.12 we went over to visit the Pops Family and go on a little boatride with them.  As you have gotten older you have become a little more leary of new people and so introductions are taken a little slower than they used to be.....

Andrea and Conor.....still not sure about her mom!

ok - this is a little better :)

Shortly after the above picture was taken your Pops walked into the room and then you only had eyes for him!  You love watching him and he always practices your crawling with you.

After some crawling (and walking) practice it was time to head out to the boat.  We all road together in Pops' truck and you and I sat in the boat while it was loaded into the water.

hmmmm...whats under here Mom?

Are you sure I can't drive Pops?

gorgeous baby!

Yup - I can drive this thing no problem!

Whenever Uncle Justin comes up with Pops he always spends at least one night at our house.  You had fun having him over and even cozied up with him on the couch.

Some Uncle lovin'

Checking each other out!

You are very lucky to be such a loved little boy Conor - and your very lucky that Pops comes up every month to see you and spoil you :)

Playdates with Pops

Dear Conor,

Pops (formally known as GT) came up for vacation the week after your baptism.  You and Pops really enjoy the time that you get to have together.  He got right down on the floor on July 24, 2012 to teach you how to crawl.

So, after you spent this time with Pops you actually started crawling the next day!  I'm not kidding little man.  You were practicing with Pops on Tuesday and Wednesday at home you started making a few crawl moves on your own and by the end of the week you were going from one end of your play mat to the other!  Pops was so happy to have encouraged your crawling development!  You slept really well the week that Pops was here because he kept you VERY busy!

On Thursday, July 25, 2012 Pops took you on his boat.  Auntie Cathlin also came up to enjoy your first boat ride.  Here are a few pictures from the special day!

Loving the boat ride

Sweet Boating Baby

You enjoyed your time on the boat until we started going a little fast because the wind bothered you.  So we used a little cover-up to keep you shaded from the sun and the wind.  You ended up falling asleep on the boat (it was nap time) and while you slept Mommy held you.  Pops was very happy that you liked the boat and he promised to take you on the boat again this summer!
