Connor climbing out...of everything

He was even strapped in and the
swing was moving when he decided it
was time to get out!

Sleeping so peacefully

Connor turned 8 months old in May. On Mother's day, he began doing the "army crawl" forward, and it was so cute. But, he also started climbing out of the bumbo seat, the swing (while it was moving), and the exersaucer. He is now crawling all over the place and getting into everything. We took the boat out a few times for a day at the lake. Weston is very serious about helping Will drive the boat. He always has a deep look of concentration on his face that cracks me up. We are looking forward to a fun summer!

Weston's last day of 2 year old playschool

Being silly with Mommy

Pretending to be dinosaurs
Not a cute picture of the Mommy dinosaur, but funny!
I love how Weston crinkles his little nose when he roars.

Flashback to Weston's first day in September...

and when he, though still a baby himself,
became a BIG brother.

Weston went to his last day of 2 year old playschool on May 17. As I drove to pick him up, I reflected on all the events of this year. I was reminded of how quickly a school year passes. Weston welcomed home baby Connor from the hospital just days before his first day of school in September. Now Connor is 8 1/2 months, and I can't even begin to tell you how much change he's undergone. But I've noted more subtle changes with Weston...He first walked in the door to his 2 yr. old class with chubby little cheeks, carrying his ducky and his "pack-pack", but he walked out saying "I fwee"--even though his birthday is still a couple of months away. He knows songs, colors, shapes, and the ABCs. His cheeks have slimmed down a little and he now claims, "Ducky don' wanna go to school today" and "I want to do [everything] by myself"! At bedtime, we say, "I love you sooooo much", and Weston says, "and don't you forget it!" Lately, he has been reminding me that his birthday is "Ju-lies the twen-second" and that he wants "cu-cakes and ice kweam" and "special cookies"(whatever that means)! I think it is so funny that he feels he needs to remind me when his birthday is. I could never forget that special day! Weston, I love you soooo much, and don't you forget it!!!

Career Play Day in Weston's Room

Police Chief Weston & Fire Chief Kendall



The hat went with the pajamas, too

I'm pretty sure real policemen don't suck their thumbs and real firemen don't carry a doctor's kit, but Weston & Kendall Abraham had lots of fun pretending during a play date.

Spring Fling and Tons of Easter Fun

But the one little duck with the feather on his back,
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack.

What a difference a year makes! Last year, Weston didn't really know how to hunt eggs. I picked them up for him, and for fun, he dumped the jelly beans out of the eggs. He didn't really care to eat the candy. This year, he had no problem hunting the eggs, and especially eating the candy. Will and I learned that too much candy turned our sweet Weston into a little monster! He threw tantrums and acted very mean when we cut him off. So, we hid his candy on a top shelf in our kitchen cabinets in order to distribute a little at a time. While I was tending to Connor one day, he snuck into the kitchen with his little Noah's Ark chair and climbed up on the counter to get it. There were about 10 empty wrappers when I caught him with a big grin, and what he calls "choc-it", all over his face.
