Conner 6 Months

Monday was Conner's 6 month birthday. I can't believe that it has already been 6 months! The time is going by toooooo fast! He is the cutest little baby and so happy and easy going. He can roll accross the room and sit up by himself. He loves all and I mean ALL of the food that we give him. He absolutely ADORES his older brother ( I am still trying to understand this ;)! I love watching the two of them wrestle with each other. (it always starts out cute and by the end someone, mainly Conner, is crying - but boys will be boys and we will embrace the wrestling!I repeat this to myself on a daily basis.) We are lucky to have him as part of our family.

Here are Conners 6 month stats.
Weight 17 lbs 1 oz (42 %)
Height 27 inches (75 %)

We have are making a tradition that started with Joel and has continued with Conner (mostly because I think it was cute!) of having 1/2 a birthday cake on the 6 month birthday. So, here is Conner's 1/2 birthday cake. I think making it to 6 months is an accomplishment (especially if mom is sane enough to remember). When I was planning this out I remember letting Joel go to town on the cake and know I am thinking - what was I thinking letting a 6 month old eat cake! Well, if any of it makes it to thier mouth - its amazing - and it didn't kill Joel so I decided what the heck - and let Conner go at his cake too. So, here is the replay by pictures and my cheesy comments!

Mmmm the yummy 1/2 cake!

Conner's first glimpse of it! Like I said -- he loves food!

Alright!!! - a smile with his cake and frosting on the fingers!

Now you can destroy it!

The real eating of the cake (with no frosting)

Then we looked over and this is what we saw. It cracked me up!

Conked out asleep in his high chair!

We hope the next 6 months are as fun as these last have been. It will be fun to see how much Conner learns and grows!
