Not a whole lot to blog about this week. There are always pictures of Connell, but not always a fun story to tell. There are no pictures from swimming lessons last Saturday. Connell cried the whole 30 minutes. :( No joke. Ask Tim; he was in the water with him. He has always loved the water, so it was either that the water was cooler and/or his molars are coming in and/or he has a cold. Take your pick. It wasn't nice. We hope so much that this Sat is better. Especially since we will have visitors with us. My very good friend Katie (Connell's Godmother) and her husband Andy are coming to visit this weekend.
Even though he is a bit under the weather, Connell is a fountain of energy and humor. He is 'talking' more now (if you listen carefully, you may even understand)! Some words -Mommy, Daddy, apples, outside, garbage, working on pumpkin. He laughs all the time. He can be looking at you with a straight serious face, and if you laugh, he will too!
I had mentioned before that he holds his hands together when we pray before dinner. Well, this past week, he has started doing it even before Tim and I sit at the table. And at lunch too. He just holds his sweet little hands together - to remind us I think. And he smiles really big while we pray. And usually claps at the end of the prayer.
Connell turned 17 months old today. I know this sounds cliche, but it really feels like just yesterday we had brought him home from the hospital and had not the first clue what to do with him. And just as everyone tells us, each 'phase' is just as fun as the previous. It just keeps getting better and better. Don't misunderstand...he is getting to be more and more challenging, but all in all, he's such a sweet boy. God truly blessed us when he gave us Connell!
That being said, here are random pics to go with my random post!
