7 Months Old!

The wee one turned 7 months today!  Yikes!  He's getting so close to crawling and sits up for very long periods of time now and only falls over when he want to move around on his belly.

Connor loved playing in my strips of fabric I had out for an art project.

He was having a grand time until... 

He got really tired and needed a nap... :)  It's so hard not to laugh at him when he's upset!

Then, this evening, we thought it was time for Connor's first cultural experience and we took him to The Getty, L.A.'s art museum.  We were there for about 2 hours and he did very well!  He was actually a HUGE hit... people kept coming up to me and saying things like "Do you know that you have a very cute baby!"  HAHA well yes I do... thank you! :)

 Jason, one of Jimmy's buddies from school went with us.

 We had a good time :)

Connor Giggling

My baby giggling up a storm! :) from Courtney Mahon on Vimeo.

Connor's oh so busy life....

Connor loves to jump up and down in his jumper! (ignore the mess of my closet... it's a work in progress...)

 My little midnight mischief maker...

 He's like mom this table is just my size!

 Mama I'm not so good at standing yet...

Connor loves to 'take things out and put them back in'  doesn't matter what it is but he LOVES this wooden box and the shapes.

 For the last couple of days he's been pulling at his right ear and fussing for a second.  I wondered if this was an ear ache but I didn't think so... so I googled it and apparently ear tugging can be a sign of teething! :)  We might have a toothed baby soon! 

 In these next three it's like he's saying 'wait... wait... I think I feel a tooth... yeah right there... wait I got it... YUP found it!' :)

 Hope you enjoyed!!!  Connor has such a tough life! :) 

Connor's First Trip to the Zoo!

Well we took Connor for his first trip to the zoo!  We realized that this was the first family outing we've had with just us!  It was a beautifully sunny day, not too hot, with a slight breeze.  Perfect day for the zoo!

 Mommy and Connor starting the day off by waiting for Daddy to get out of the restroom! :)

For the most part, Connor liked being in the stroller.

We took him out though so he could see the animals.

There was a petting portion of the zoo and Connor really liked the sheep!  He just stood there staring at them and smiling.

 He also like the flamingos :)

 He likes daddy showing him the monkeys! 

The tortoise came right up to us... it took him a while but Connor was patient

 Then we saw the hippo in the water coming up for air every couple of minutes

 This is a GREAT face!  HAHAHA Jimmy parked him in front of a fence with a board over it so he couldn't see... he didn't like it.

 We saw the Giraffes and there was a mommy and a baby just like us! :)

 At that point he was tuckered out... he passed out... he didn't see the lions, gorillas, zebras, koalas, kangaroos, ostriches, elephants, etc... guess we'll have to make another trip to the zoo! :)

Halloween Weekend

My Sweet Baby Boy on Halloween weekend.

 He got these cute PJ's that say my first Halloween.  He wore these on Friday.

 This outfit also says My First Halloween and he wore this all day saturday.  We went to walmart and I could hardly shop because total strangers were making a huge fuss over him.

 (oh and I didn't get a picture of him standing up but the pants he's wearing were a clearance item at old navy and they are skinny jeans! HAHAHA I bought them because I was going to use them for a costume we ended up not doing... they are cute though)

 My little fella was a monkey for his first halloween!! :)

 The costume came with a matching stuffed animal monkey... it was too cute!

 Jimmy decided to add to the fun by introducing Toby's 'chew toy' orangutan.

He's like: 'uuuhhh I can't turn my head because of this head piece but what is that...'

 'ahhh it's TOUCHING me...'

 'ok well I guess it's not that bad...'

 We are a whole monkey family! :)

 He's so precious! :)
