Halloween Monkey Business

Monkey and Mama

Drunken Monkey?

Oh Lolly Lolly Lolly...Lolliop!

Haley Monkey

Presents!

Pondering my Birthday...

So much to reflect on from the last year, so much I've accomplished, like finding my nostril with my index finger and jammin' it in there...

Thanks for my new Swingset!

Mmmm...ice cream cake.

It's cold. And sweet. Me likey.

Ducks in a Row

I'm still hoping to add some photos of our Manassas house, we are really enjoying it, but I'm so far behind I'm chasing my own tail! One of these days I'll post photos of Conor that aren't a month old by the time I get them on the blog. That's what make this picture so funny, because all my ducks are in a row, and it's the only time they probably ever will be!

Crawling!

Well, if you liked "Walking" you'll love "Crawling!" Coming soon, "Standing," "Swinging," "Laughing," "Climbing" and "Dancing" (which looks like what Triumph the Insult Dog does to stuffed animals!)

Walking?

Conor has a jumping toy, a riding toy, two walking toys, but he prefers to ride on the dog's back and to walk behind random things he can push, like this moving box, or the window bench in my room, or a kitchen chair...you get the idea. He also likes to pull things out of the recycling and lick them! And if Haley doesn't eat all her food, Conor will try to eat it! Or take a bath in her water-no wonder my nerves are shot!

Crabbiness!

Pickin' crabs is a family tradition, so even though Conor can't actually eat them yet he did grab a mallet and tried to lick the Old Bay seasoning off of it. We both have crabs on our shirts, and Conor even has a crab on his bum!

Is it Morning Already?

Prodigy

Here Conor is not only playing his piano without looking, he is also playing it backwards!

Looking for change in the sofa cushions

Movin' on up, to the East Side (of Manassas, that is)

"Get out of town! Is this the last box to unpack?" Oh my sweet son, I wish it was!

Does a vacuum suck if it doesn't suck?

Aaron texted me last weekend that Conor is enamored with the vacuum cleaner, and thinking himself quite clever, stated that the child "must not get that from you." Oh Aaron, I appreciate your effort. I replied, "Well I guess I get the last laugh after all dear, since I've managed to get you to do all the vacuuming!"

Baff Time!

Lame Excuses

Since I know you come to this blog to read all of my dry commentary on life, I thought I should mention that you'll get none of that this time around, but stay tuned, I'm keeping a list of all the wry witticisms you've come to love...but if you'd like something to make you laugh, you might enjoy hearing that at least once a week Conor sneezes violently while he is eating solid foods and, in a spray that I'm not sure an industrial wind machine could create, he coats me from head to foot, literally, usually in something orange, like squash or sweet potatoes...

Seersuckers

Ok, so there's no explaining why Conor makes the faces he does, but why is my mom making that same face? Must have been something in the seersucker they're both wearing...

Chillin'

Who eats in this position? Oh wait, I guess Aaron does sometimes, well that explains it!

Free Chikin'!

Free Chicken? We're there! I've been asked why I'm laughin' like I am in this picture. Aaron was standing around a blind corner in the drive thru lane trying to take the photo and I kept encouraging him to come up on the sidewalk where it was safer because these Northern Va drivers even come around the corner of the drive thru on two wheels but he of course wasn't listening to me so this expression on my face is when he almost got run over...oh Aaron, when will you listen?

Standing!

Conor started pulling to standing in Waynesboro (as well as trying to climb the stairs!). I think this is his concentration face.

Have a Striped Fourth of July!
