Spring Has Sprung!




Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying the spring weather! We have had a wonderful month and have some new pictures we'd like to share. Connor is "blossoming" every day and we are amazed at his rapid developments. He stopped his military crawl in favor of real crawling last month after his first day in the grass! Sebastian has found a new friend...Connor tries to throw the ball and Sebastian doesn't seem to mind that it only goes a foot or two.


















Now he is well on his way to walking- cruising around the house and standing has given way to a few small steps. He walks around the house behind his toy car and loves every second of it, especially if he's headed towards one of the pets!



Update- And today, after practicing standing and small steps, Connor started walking today! Just a few shaky steps at a time when he gets carried away cruising around the living room, but you can tell how amused he is with himself! Even when he is standing and then falls down, he just smiles and laughs, rolls over, then pulls himself up and starts moving again! Its amazing to see the progress he is making every single day. He has been having trouble sleeping through the night the last couple of weeks, which usually happens before a new developmental milestone. Last night he finally slept through the night again which was refreshing after weeks of getting up two to three times each night.



One of his favorite activities is bubble baths...our master bathroom renovation was completely worth it! He's a clean boy! He would play in there for hours if we let him!
Connor has been lucky to spend the last few weeks with his Grandma O'Neill, who came home with us after Easter. Its been wonderful having her here keeping us company and playing with Connor. He had been so lucky in life to have folks lining up to spend time with him! We are spending this weekend also with Grandpa O'Neill and Mandy visiting from Hawaii. Let's hope for a sunny weekend!
