Only Connor

I've always heard that the first kid always has more pictures taken of him/her then the children that follow. That trend has taken a hold of us, so here is my attempt to break the pattern.


Eating is Connor's first love. He weighed in at 22 pounds and 7 ounces (75th percentile) and measured 31 inches (95th percentile) at his nine month checkup. It should be noted that he was actually ten months old by the time we got him to the doctor because of the pregnancy.


Now that Connor is mobile, Otis has learned to keep his distance. However, we caught this rare moment on camera of the two playing nice together.


Otis was really waiting for Connor to throw the ball. But Connor kept trying to eat it.


Connor has already started trying to imitate his older brother. Check out the last picture of this post from 2007.

Connor in the Middle

If you are wondering why the blogging has been so light over the past two months, it's because Christina has been sick. The extended sickness is due from one thing...pregnancy. Just like with Connor, Christina has had to have a take home IV over the past eight weeks. And just like before, our family has been wonderful helping with the boys and Christina while I am at work.

Christina is 13 weeks along now, which puts the due date on February 14th. Dillon will be four months shy of four years old and Connor will be 16 months old. It also means it will be the sixth (calendar) year in a row for my parents to get a grandchild, a streak I can guarantee we will not continue in 2011.

This pregnancy was a complete surprise to us but we look forward to the little bundle of joy. We knew we wanted a third child but was hoping to wait a couple of years. Now we will have two in diapers for a while.

We would love for you to keep the baby, Christina, and us boys in your prayers for the next six months. Christina should be turning the corner on her extreme morning sickness within a week or two.

I have posted two new pictures below to make up for my lack of blogging below. Plus their shirts are very fitting for the subject matter, even though Connor's shirt will be "out of style" in six months.
