MORE CRAWLING

Tiffany invented a new toy for Connor. She put some rice in a small tupperware and let him play with it. He loved it! Here is a video of him playing with it and chasing it all over the kitchen.

BY POPULAR REQUEST... MORE CRAWLING!

ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT...





One small step for Connor, one large amount of baby-proofing... and carpet-cleaning... for Mom & Dad.

NEW CAMERA PICS

I mentioned that we got a new SLR camera on Monday. It's been frustrating because I've been tied up with school and homework and haven't been able to play with it too much. But I just checked, and I noticed I've already taken 546 pictures! (with a little help from Tiff and my dad.) Anyway, I'm afraid you who check the blog are in for A LOT of pictures until the newness of the camera wears off. I still have no idea what I'm doing (thank goodness for the "Full Auto" setting), but I decided I'd better post some of these pictures before I get too far behind.









Connor loves to stand...



... but he's not very good at it yet. Bonk!

TWO NEW DEVELOPMENTS

DEVELOPMENT #1






(Connor grabbed my knuckle and bit it today, and I noticed a new little development that made me say "Ow!")

DEVELOPMENT #2



(We're not sure where this came from... Up until two days ago, he never made an "M" sound.)

DSLR

So I finally did it... I finally broke down and bought a DSLR. Was it worth the money? I leave it up to you. Here is the evidence:

Exhibit A



Exhibit B



So which is the point-and-shoot and which is the DSLR? (To be fair, I will have to do this test again after I get a real flash and actually figure out how to use the thing.)

SHERLENE FAMILY REUNION PICS

I've been slacking on these posts, and it's creating a whole backlog of cute pics. Here are some pics from a few weeks ago at the Sherlene Clark Family Reunion:
