6 Months....Seriously?

Yeah, I am still in denial that my baby boy is so big. He just feels so itty bitty to me still. And I know, he is not. But that's the way I feel inside and I am keeping it that way.
It is incredible however to think it has really been 6 months since our littlest guy was brought to our family. As always happens, it is hard to imagine our family and lives without his sweet little spirit in it. Conner is such a loving little guy. You can tell he is such a gentle and tender soul. I really believe that he is going to be the peacemaker in our family. He just has that nature about him.
Here are some things about Conner at 6 months that I want to remember.
- He is a rolling champ now
- He is Almost sitting on his own. He can do it alone for a minute or two here and there, but he still needs to be closely supervised and assisted at times
- He acts like he is teething (tons of drool, constantly chewing on anything and everything in a ravenous sort of way, fingers Always in his mouth) but still not a tooth bud in sight
- His most ticklish spots are his neck and his upper thighs. It takes some effort to get a laugh out of him, but when you do it is Soooo worth it
- He is only waking up once a night most of the times and sleeps until around 7:30 in the morning...good baby :)
- He plays his own version of peek-a-boo. He will pull a blanket or burp cloth over his head and if you say "Where's Conner?" he quickly pulls it off with a big excited look on his face. He does in fact Love to have things over his face, silly boy
- He is eating 3 solid meals a day, plus bottles. Due to the way things have gone, he is only nursing 2 times a day now, but we will try to keep that up as long as possible
- He is a jumping maniac. He will jump anywhere and everywhere you can. Stand him on your lap and you will have him jumping away all over you in no time at all. He is going to have some strong legs with all the squats he does
- His hair is losing its strawberry tint and turning more and more blond
- He is a total hair puller/eater!
- He loves giving kisses (aka sucking on your face)
- He is becoming much more of a chatter box

Conner, we love you so very much!


Conner's first time going to church with a tie like the big boys.
Everyone wanted a piece of him!



I don't know who is more proud...Kenna or Conner?
My Cambridge boys :) Todd got this onsie a long time ago when he lived in London for his future sons to wear. It's sweet to see them in it. And just for comparison sake, below is a picture of Kellen in it when he was a baby (mind you Kellen was 3 months old when he wore it, Conner is 6. Conner, though big, is my petite little boy!)

Big STUD!!!! I can't believe either that he is 6 months old, I feel like he was just born the other day. I can't even believe that Kellen was twice his size at 6 months because to me Mini Bud is Huge! Kellen was GIANT!!! He is a handsome little guy with totally his own little look. Love him to pieces!
