Halloween!

This is Conner's first Halloween. Of course he had no idea what was going on, but we loved his costume! What an adorable penguin! For our Halloween celebration this year we went trick or treating with the Powell's for about half an hour, then went back to their house to eat finger food dinner while watching the movie Tower of Terror. We had  a lot of fun!

Halloween Video

Here's a short little video of Conner right before we went out trick or treating with some of his cousins!

Christmas Stockings

I started thinking about how quickly Christmas was going to sneak up on me this year. Yup, it's already started! Where did October go? I realized Conner didn't have a stocking, and since I love creating things, including sewing projects, I decided to make Conner a stocking. Then I decided maybe I should make a few stockings for future kids so that they all look the same. On the blog where I found the pattern I used, they suggested making a few extra in case of holiday guests, such as grandparents. So I decided to make a few more! I ended up making 8 stockings! There were just so many cute Christmas fabrics! Here they are! I love how they turned out!

Here's the link to the pattern that I used. It's really simple, although there were a few steps I had to read a couple of times to understand what she meant. I'd really recommend this pattern. The stockings are a perfect size! The only things I did differently is that I added a very thin batting to the front, back and cuff pieces to make them a little fluffy. I like the look of fluffy stockings better than completely flat ones. But that's just my preference!

Church Halloween Party

We had fun at the church Halloween party! Conner got to wear his Halloween costume! A cute penguin!

Isn't Conner the cutest penguin EVER! We sure think so!

BOO

This is one of my favorite videos of Conner so far! He is such a smiley baby and he loves to laugh. He often laughs so much he gets the hiccups (just like his daddy!). It seems like whenever we pull out the video camera, he doesn't "perform" as well as when it's just us. But this one he did! I love the cute little boy and his laugh! He brings so much joy and happiness to our family!

Isn't his smile just so cute!

Happy Conner

Conner loves to kick and "dance" when we lay him in the pack n play. Normally he goes wild! Of course because the video camera was out, he didn't go as wild as normal, but here he is happy!

Conner's First Baby Food

Conner had his first baby food! Cooked green beans! He loved them! We haven't quite figured out how to edit our videos yet, so this is long and needs to be cut shorter. Just watch a little bit!

Conner Waking Up

Every morning I wake up to the sound of Conner talking in his crib. It is a wonderful sound - so much better than a crying baby! When I go in to get him, he is always so full of smiles! I really wanted to capture it on video and we tried, but there are two problems. #1 although to our eyes there is plenty of light in  his room, the camera didn't have enough light and #2 Conner saw that daddy was holding something (camera) and was interested in that and didn't smile as much as normal. But here's the video anyways because how can I resist sharing a video with such a cute and loving little boy in it? We sure love you Conner!

Tag Toys

I made these tag toys for Conner. I used cellophane bags on the inside to give them the crinkly sound!

Grandpa's Birthday

Today is Grandpa Eggett's birthday, so we emailed him some pictures of our cute little guy to help him get through the work day!

Our Future Missionary

Conner received this white polo onsie and tie at my baby shower, and it fits him now! I thought it was so cute. He looks like a little missionary! So of course I wanted pictures!
