First Haircut!!
YEP! Today was Connor's first haircut! I took him to Cool Cuts 4 kids. That place really caters to the kids. They have a play area while the kids are waiting for the older kids they have game stations where they can play nintendo! Too cool! And while he was getting his hair cut, he got his choice of movies to watch. Connor chose Elmo's World this time. I have a feeling he'll choose CARS next time. =) He sure did not like it. =( He screamed the whole time but he was a champ and looks great with his hair more manageable. =) The hairstylist even spiked his hair for him. What a cutie!!! 
New Years Camping Trip
We went on our annual camping trip for New Years! We went to Ocotillo Wells. There were a total of 17 motorhomes/trailers that went with us. It was a huge group but we had a lot of fun. The kids got to run around and play in the dirt including Connor. But Mom had to keep a careful watch on him because he kept putting the rocks in his mouth!! YUCK! He sure didn't seem to mind though. And he even enjoyed himself by the fire. =)
Christmas
One of my New Years Resolution is to keep this updated at LEAST weekly. So hopefully you will hear more updates more often this year. =) So here goes. There will be a couple of entries tonight to catch you all up!
First - Christmas. Connor was spoiled yet again. But what's new. The big gift from Mom and Dad isn't up yet. We have to figure out where we want to put it in the backyard. But it is a playset. Hopefully one of these non busy weekends (that was a joke! We are swamped the entire month of January!) Dad will get it up. No big deal. But he did get lots of clothes, lots of money for his 529 account (he will be thanking you all in 17 years when he goes to college!), and a couple of toys. Here are some pictures:

And Another, and another . . .
We have not one more but TWO more teeth!!! We were on our way back from visiting Grandma and Grandpa and I was sitting in the back seat with Connor and I look and there is another tooth as bright as day on the bottom next to his right tooth! WOO HOO!! No wonder he slept so fitfully on Saturday. That explains a lot. So he is getting THREE teeth in right now. Poor guy. And I can only imagine the other side is going to be soon because they all happen together.
He did really good this weekend and had a lot of fun with Grandma and Grandpa. He even got to visit Grandma's work and go to the Christmas party where he was the hit of the party. =) On Saturday it SNOWED! So we went outside and Connor got to walk and play with the snow. Ok, it wasn't much just a light dusting but it was snowing. =) Once I download the pictures I'll share them. I also got pictures from Grandma for Connor's party so once I get a slideshow going I'll share that since I still haven't had a chance to do anything with my pictures!

One year check up
Connor had his one year check up on Friday. He weighs in at a whopping 21 lbs! YIKES! (small fry) and 31" long. I can't believe he is almost 3 feet tall! I know his growth will start to slow down now but the boy can sure eat! And he loves his fruits and veggies. =) That's my boy!!! Other than that, nothing going on. He is switching to whole milk like a champ and seems to like it. He is more interested in eating now than drinking so he is evolving. Makes it harder on us because we can't just give him a bottle when he's hungry. We need to have easy snacks available that he can eat. He is also a walking machine. All he wants to do is walk walk walk. Even if he falls down, he doesn't stay down and crawl, he'll get back up and continue walking. =)
This past weekend we went and saw Harji Uncle's and Bigi's new house. They finally moved in and getting settled in. I'm sure Connor will be spending lots of time there with them and playing with Tiger (the dog). Right now Tiger keeps knocking Connor over trying to sniff him and lick him. I'm sure it will be no time when he's running away from Connor while Connor's trying to pull on his ear, tail or whatever. =)
This coming weekend we are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We just say them last month for Connor's birthday/Thanksgiving but it's nice to be able to see them again. Connor changes so much all the time not seeing him for a couple months is a real shocker! I'm hoping to see them more next year than we did this year!
Well, that's all for now. When I get a free moment (HA!) I'd love to share some video and pictures from Connor's birthday. Maybe one of these days!

Another tooth.
No wonder. That explains a lot this past week. ;) I saw another tooth on Saturday. It is barely breaking through. It's next to his upper right tooth. I didn't see one on the other side (although I'm sure it will come soon). So my son might be three toothed! Ha-ha. Just kidding. That was Surbjit's fear. LOL! I know they will both come in. But he's been cranky so this past week so that explains a lot!
We have our one year check up on Friday. I am NOT looking forward to that. Shots. And he is older now and remembers. Poor guy. Wish me luck!!!

Funny story at Daycare
Tina (daycare provider) is starting to transition Connor to table food (we have him basically transitioned at home). Anyway, I guess yesterday she feed him his jarred food and gave him some noodles that all the kids eat. He ate all his and started taking some more from the other kids! :~p I guess he likes them! Haha!!
I was playing with him last night with his new toy from Tina. I can tell his mind is starting to put things together. She got him a link toy. It's basically plastic toy bugs (butterflies, ladybugs, grasshoppers, etc) that link together. I was showing him how to put them together and take them apart. I gave him two hooked together and he tried to get them apart. It's a little hard for him right now but he sees what to do and is getting the hang of it. He can drop the balls in the Drop and Roar Dinosaur with virtually no problem. He messes up here and there but otherwise he does really great. And anything with wheels, he loves! He turns it over and starts turning the wheels! He is just too much fun!!

He is ONE!
Today you were born a year ago. I still can't believe it's been a whole year. Where did the time go. You are no longer my baby. You are very hard headed and have to have your way. We love you though. =) I hope your birthday is the best!

We have STEPS!!!
That's right! Connor has officially taken his first steps this past Saturday. It's funny too because I saw our friend Melissa on Friday and she was asking if Connor was walking yet and I said no. She was like I figured he'd be walking by his first b-day. That could still happen. =)
First Surbjit saw him go from the couch to his toy. He took about 2 steps and then could grab onto his toy. Later on, I was in the living room with him. He was standing at his favorite toy reaching out to me so I held out my hand and told him to come to me. He started walking, took three steps and then I grabbed his hand as he was about to go down. =) He has since taken a few step here and there. He walks next to me pretty good only holding onto one hand so we'll see. Maybe he'll be walking all over the place on his 1st b-day. :~p

Halloween Camping Trip This Weekend
Not too much going on here. We are going camping this weekend to Vail Lake with 7 other families. All the kids get to decorate pumpkins and go trick or treating from motorhome to trailer. Should be lots of fun! I will definitely take lots of pictures and will share next week. I have some other pictures on the camera I need to download and will post those too.
We are in the process of getting our backyard landscaped. They are killing the grass this week and will hopefully start removing the plants and grass next week. It's should be done by Connor's b-day party (ok, it better be done!). So let's hope for no hiccups!!
Connor is doing good. He is crawling all over the place and cruising along the furniture. He HATES to lay down and have his diaper changed but he doesn't get a choice in that. LOL! He "talks" a lot now but no words per se. I'm sure he is saying something that he understands we just don't. He does say mama and dada but that's about it. He has no interest in walking but maybe soon. He can stand on his own for a good while with no help. He does gives kisses (big open mouthed kisses =) ) and can give you 5. We are trying to teach him how to blow kisses but no luck yet. I still can't believe he is going to be one in a little over a month. This year has flown by!!!
