Connor and his cousin Brenna (who makes a cameo in the video) signed up for gymnastics at the Riverview Gymnastics Center in Newport News.  Daddy was lucky enough to attend one Friday and film for a while.

Connor enjoys it and has been trying to do the front roll at home when he plays with Daddy.

Personally, I think Mommy is having more fun then Connor.  Be sure to watch where Mommy nearly falls over with Connor around the 5 minute mark

Go get a cup a coffee, sit back, relax, and enjoy (this is nearly 8 mins long).

Various videos of Connor…

Over the past few weeks, Connor has been helping out around the house and loves it.  He helps Mommy fold the laundry, helps make pancakes for breakfast on the weekends, and the biggest chore he does and absolutely loves is taking out the trash.

I finally got video of it but tonight’s trash was a bit too heavy for him and he struggled with it.  Usually it is a little lighter and he is capable of dragging it out the door and along the sidewalk to our trash can out back.  We can no longer take the trash out without his help or he begins to cry in disappointment.

Next step for Connor is cutting the grass!!!!

He even knows how to put the bag in the trash can…watch as he tries to open the garbage like Mommy and Daddy do it…

Daddy and I were playing out back while Mommy was inside working on her business.

I would check every now and then to see if Mommy was coming (I didn’t want Daddy to get in trouble).

I had to make sure the neighbors were not spying on me as well…sometimes they tell Mommy what Daddy and I do outside…

Tonight was not my bath night, so Daddy put me to bed just like this.  (Just kidding!)

Check out the gallery for more pictures from tonight.

Love,
Connor

… that Connor and I make a lot of the same facial expressions.

Check out Connor’s photo gallery and see which kid was having more fun in New Jersey for the 4th of July.

Identical expressions in these two pics.

Daddy and Mommy took me to a park not too far from Aunt Antoinette’s (Daddy’s Aunt) house  in New Jersey.  While I was there (and Daddy was watching me), I fell on some steps.  The steps were metal and I hit my lip.  Daddy didn’t think I was hurt at first but when he put his thumb up to my mouth to check and saw a lot of blood he knew he would be in trouble with Grandma.

Daddy quickly had Mommy pour some of my cold water on his shirt and then he stuck it in my mouth.  I was crying and bleeding.  (Daddy’s shirt is ruined.)

Here is some of the evidence of how poorly Daddy was watching me (see the blood on my shirt and collar).  Daddy has been telling everyone that he was “watching me like a hawk”.  I don’t know where he gets that from.  I mean if he was watching me like a hawk, I wouldn’t have gotten the busted lip.

The picture really doesn’t do this story justice.  I should have taken a picture of Daddy’s shirt, then you would have gotten the idea.
