Here are the videos I promised last week.

Daddy’s first Easter Egg Hunt:

Looks like Daddy had an empty basket at the end of his Easter Egg Hunt.  😉

Connor getting ready for his 1st Easter Egg Hunt:

Connor’s 1st Easter Egg Hunt:

Here is a video of Daddy when I was younger.  To me, Connor and I look alike.

Some people accuse Connor of being a Momma’s boy…well, we know where he got it from.  Look who I run to when I get my feelings hurt… 😉  Connor — there is nothing wrong with being a “Momma’s boy”.  You’re still “Daddy’s buddy”.

Connor at the park last week.

Connor and Daddy spent some time together tonight as Mommy went out on a photo session.  We went for a walk to the park and played on the swings.

When we came home, I started to play hide and seek with Connor along the side of the house.  As I hid around the house, he would come running with his little legs looking for me.  He would scream and I would scream when he found me.  I then made a dash for the bushes and hid down behind them.  Connor quickly learned that he could squat down and see where I was.  He then would come around the corner of the bush and scream at me.

We had such a fun time tonight and I especially look forward to the warmer weather.

Connor also helped me on Saturday when I was shoveling some dirt into the wheel barrel.  As soon as I put the shovel down, he grabbed the handle and began to push it (like everything else he pushes).  He was right at home with Daddy outside.

It is truly amazing to see how much he has grown in one year!!!!  One year ago at this time, we were dressing him up in his golf outfit and propping him up to take some pictures outside.  This year, we can’t keep him still to take his picture!

We love you, Connor!

Daddy & Mommy

Connor went on his 1st Easter Egg Hunt in our neighborhood on Saturday.  It was a beautiful day and Connor quickly got the hang of it.  Mommy and Daddy gave him some of his treats afterwards and he especially loved the chocolate covered marshmallow bunny.

Video of the event will follow in a few days…

Here are a couple:

Connor had an exciting day at Grandma’s house.  Here is following asleep in his swing…

Daddy, Mommy, and Connor had a very fun and busy day on Satuday.  We went to Norfolk and visited ODU and the MacArthur Center.

While at ODU, we snapped some pictures of the soon to be ODU basketball and football star.  It was a bit chilly and a bit bright, so the pictures didn’t turn out too well.  Here are a few.

Everyone was so tired when we got back that we took a 2.5 hour nap.

Enjoy.

On Friday night, Grandpa and Mimi came over for dinner.  I’d say Connor is getting much more comfortable being around others.  In the past it would take him 10-15 minutes to warm up to visitors but lately he is quite comfortable as soon as they come in the door.

Grandpa breaks the ice with Connor by picking him up and letting him down as if he is jumping high.  Conor loves that!

Mimi chases Connor around until he runs to Mommy or Daddy for protection.  He absolutely loves this too!

Daddy enjoyed playing basketball when he was growing up so it is only natural that Connor will too (right?!?!?!). 

Here is some early video of our soon to be NBA superstar.

…to find a way to keep Connor entertained, busy, and fed while Mommy and Daddy eat dinner.

How???  Simply give him corn on the cob.

Here are some pics and videos of Connor and his corn on the cob.

We had our first wedding to shoot this past weekend and Daddy was worried about leaving Connor with the grandparents on Friday and Saturday due to his separation anxiety.

Well, Grandpa and Mimi reported that Connor did great Friday evening for about 2 hours.  They played with Connor and he was in a great mood when Mommy and Daddy got home.  Grandpa kept picking Connor up with his hands under Connor’s armpits as if Connor was jumping each time.  Each time Grandpa did this, Connor let our a giggle and a BIG SMILE!  (He didn’t want Grandpa to stop.)

On Saturday, he was with Grandma for around 9 hours and from all accounts, he did great!!!  Good job, Connor (and Grandma)!  Grandma put Connor to sleep on the couch downstairs.  When Mommy and Daddy arrived around 10pm, he was sound asleep.   Connor started to stir when he heard Daddy talking to Grandma.  Daddy started to worry that Connor would begin to cry because usually when he wakes up he is a little disoriented and has been known to cry.  Grandma was right there for him and when he woke up and saw her, Daddy noticed it comforted Connor.  He didn’t bother looking for Mommy or Daddy — seeing Grandma soothed him enough that he laid right back down for a few seconds.
