Beautiful day

Rosy cheeks...
Tasting a rock...

...a sunny, 80 degree day in Middle Tennessee!

I know it's supposed to be a bit cold again tomorrow, but I pray Spring is on its way to stay very soon. I am sick of cold weather, Connell is growing out of his winter clothes, and for that matter, so am I! Baby O'Leary update coming later this week...

What Connell loves...

Pooh, and his new truck! For several months now, Connell has been all about Winnie the Pooh. He says "Pooh" all the time! It occurred to me the other day that way back a long long time ago, Tim gave me a stuffed Pooh. I know - mushy & sweet (he's still that way) :) It's been in the attic and Tim got it down for Connell a few days ago. They are buddies!
Also, we purchased a used Yukon a couple of weeks ago. Connell loves it! He really enjoys being up higher than we were in my car. He sees everything better and waves at almost everyone we drive by. He likes to play in the truck too. We were all outside Saturday morning cleaning cars/sweeping the garage, etc since it was so nice out. Connell was enjoying 'driving' the truck!

The broom that MOOS!

Connell loves to sweep. Anywhere...inside, outside, other people's homes, Tim's office. He wears out the battery on my Shark vacuum but really likes just a plain old broom. My Mom told me that they had 'little' brooms for kids at Target. LOOK at this cute broom! Maybe if my broom looked like this it would make me want to sweep the floors.

Storytime at the Library

My friend Jennifer and I took our kids to the storytime at the new Gallatin Library yesterday. For a child that LOVES books, Connell wasn't very interested in listening to the stories. Oh well. Maybe next week. He did like the parachute game (music!) and enjoyed playing with puzzles and pulling numerous books off the shelf after storytime was finished. Here are some pictures of Connell and his friends, Julianna and Kate Ryne. This group is going to grow this year as Jennifer is expecting baby boy Chase in May and of course, our new addition coming later this year! What a crew! :)

Under the parachute!

Puzzled!

Bedtime smiles!

Connell has always loved bathtime; well, with the exception of the first few weeks of his life, but what newborn likes a bath??? I snapped some pictures the other night after Connell got out of the tub as Tim was trying to get him dried off and ready for bed. He is all smiles! And my goodness, he has a lot of teeth, finally!

Ready for sleepy time!
