My 10 month old 

(3 weeks late)

On December 28, 2012 my little man turned 10 months old

Given the hectic holidays, I am just now posting his milestones

19lbs

Size 3 diapers

9-12 & some 12-18 clothing

12 month sleepers

You still have the brightest blue eyes that get SO many compliments everyday from strangers

Your smile? Contagious!

Do we see those 2 pearly whites? Those pop in around mid December & are growing bigger & bigger. Because of those 2 new teeth, you did NOT, I mean refused to sleep in your crib for a whole week this month. You'd fall quick asleep in mama's arm's then SCREAM once I laid you down. This resulted in several nights of sleeping with mama, several nights of mama sleeping in the chair while you slept & a few hours of mama standing right next to your crib until you drifted back to sleep :) 

All because I love you! 

 You are full of personality. You love to laugh, play peek-a-boo, crawl (all over the house in seconds), run fast in your walker, splash in the bathtub & get kisses from mommy!

 This month (December) you celebrated your 1st Christmas! You met Santa Claus & loved him, especially his hairy beard! Christmas was magical for you, and ALL of us! You were spoiled & loved opening all your presents and rolling around in the wrapping paper.

 You are pulling yourself up to your knees then standing (most of the time). We lowered your crib this month since mama walked in on you standing up in your crib as you contemplated how far of a drop it would be if you jumped out... Not good

This month, you have started showing so many more emotions and facial expression. 

You have learned staking your head back and forth means NO.

You smile so big and are so proud when you learn something new or stand up.

Happy 10 months old my love! 

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Donner Lake in the winter time

feels like a Christmas movie

lots of snow all around

& make you want to cuddle by the fire with a warm cup of hot chocolate 

Its such a different experience than summer

but I love it... almost as much

I joke that I have a love/ hate relationship with the snow

beautiful, peaceful, looks like a postcard= love

cold, wet, really COLD= hate

However, I know as Connor gets older, he will love being able to go to Donner Lake & play in the snow, make snowmen, & sled down the hills. 

This was our first trip up to Donner since summer & snow was all around the cabin. The cabin was a cozy 26 degree's when we arrived! ... hints the love/hate relationship... COLD

But my dad was quick to get the cabin nice and cozy as we enjoyed 4 awesome days playing in the snow, cooking, baking, going out to breakfast, a trip to Cabelas and playing cards. 

I think Connor shares my same love/hate relationship with the snow. He enjoyed looking at it, touching it & tasting it.. for about 7 minutes... Then was ready to go back inside & get cozy again by the fire. 

Here are some pictures & a few videos of the memories made! 

Warning.. Picture overload :)
