First Haircut @ 15 months

Tomorrow Connor is 15 months old. So today, I finally took him to get his hair cut. I was waiting and waiting for the right time - and then I passed that window because his hair was starting to turn up in the back. At first, I thought, oh wonderful - he may have curls!! But no curls and it was time . . . so, we went to Jimmy (the guy who cuts all the hair in my family - and has cut mine since I was 5 or so). Here are a few pics from the big event . . .


I love this one . . . waiting his turn.
Still waiting, patiently



You may be able to spot a candy cane, sippy cup and baby tiger - all bribes for the 4 minute haircut . . .


UPDATE: Some more headshots . . .

What a Difference a Year Makes

Colin was commenting tonight on how big Connor is getting these days. His 15 month appointment is Monday - but take a look at these pics made in the same chair about 1 year apart . . .

Say Goodbye

To these lovely locks . . . Connor goes for his first haircut tomorrow . . .

First Kisses at the Tailgate

We had our friends Josh and Chrissy over to watch the Ravens game last Sunday. We said we were going to tailgate - but that really consisted of grilling out burgers and drinking some beers. We did enjoy our new deck since the weather was soo nice. Josh and Chrissy just welcomed their first baby Miss Mary Casen a few months ago. Connor was ALL about kissing Mary Casen and loving every minute of it . . .

"Mommy, did you see that? Hmmmm"

Ready to Tailgate . . .

War Eagle!

Connor's first Auburn game - finally! Connor and I drove down to Auburn this morning with Aunt Cathy to take in a little bit of the Homecoming game. 72+ degrees and sunny on November 7th!! I love the South! Connor was a little worried about the loud noise at first but after about 30 seconds he loved it!

Halloween - A little late

This year we decided to go to the Auburn v. Ole Miss football game for Halloween. It seemed like a great idea because the game was an 11:20 start (a perfect fit for Connor's schedule) and since it was Halloween - Connor could dress up as Aubie (Auburn's mascot) - perfect, right? Well, the weather didn't cooperate as I had hoped. The forecast was rain, rain and more rain for gametime. So, Connor and my mom and I stayed back at the lake while my dad, brother and Colin went to the game. They said it only rained during half time - but with my luck if we had gone to the game it would have poured. Connor stayed warm, still got to wear his costume (and got plenty of compliments including: "he should have won best costume!"). Unfortunately, since we were watching the game at the house we missed the costume contest at the festival. Here are a few pics of our little tiger playing. Oh and War Eagle - cause Auburn ended up wining the game!




Trying to get Connor to growl - by his face it looks like it worked!

Couple Quick Pics

Connor lounging in his chair. He used to sit in his chair for a few seconds here or there. Now, he is loving the chair and curls up with a book or the remote (or both) and just lounges. Since we have Directv (which is so wonderful btw) we can give Connor the actual TV remote (without having to take out the batteries) and with just a quick slide Connor can't change the channel!

Connor inspecting the lazy gate(and ya'll he really does inspect our gates to see how it works, etc). It is called the lazy gate because it only keeps Connor from going down the hallway to the bedrooms. There is no reason he can't go down there - we simply don't feel like always running after him - and running is the truth. Today, he actually tried to kick his leg over the gate. Clearly, that didn't work this time but we may have to either 1) get a taller lazy gate or 2) stop being lazy.
