Grandma

Well, we just got back from Boston where we attended my Grandma Gilroy's funeral.  We knew that she had terminal cancer but none of us thought it would happen this quickly.  I am SO happy that we made a trip to see in her September when we had Connor baptized. If we hadn't, she never would have had the chance to meet him.  Although it was heart wrenching saying good bye to Grandma,  it did give the entire family another chance to get together.  Connor finally got to meet his two uncles, his Aunt Laura and Cousin Callie.  Callie is a year old and was able to teach Connor many things.  Connor returned the favor by teaching Callie how to do a really high pitched whine.  I'm not so sure his Uncle Andrew and Aunt Laura appreciated that.  Connor learned how to make clucking sounds while in Boston and hasn't stopped since....  He also had the opportunity to go swimming for the first time.  What a great kicker he is! Here are some photos of the trip for you to enjoy.....

Connor is 7 months old today!

I cannot believe that my baby is 7 months old today!   Time has really flown.  Connor has brought so much joy to our life.  His happiness and enthusiasm is contagious. My favorite part of the day is getting Connor up in the morning because I know that I will be greeted with a huge grin.  Connor is a busy guy. He loves to play with his toys (especially musical toys) and our dog Gracie.  He also LOVES his food!  Some of his favorite foods include: bananas, sweet potatoes, applesauce, carrots and green beans.  Here are some photos of the birthday boy at 7 months.
