My 2nd Christmas, and more of my 1st Birthday

December is a big month for this guy.

The 14th is the birthday, with Christmas following, 10 days later. We have all decided these events should be celebrated

as two.

Tooth #3 has emerged, the next milestone will most likely be walking. He is fast on all
fours, he will be running circles around

Gramma soon.

Happy 1st Birthday, Connor!

December 14, 2007

The celebration of C-Man's 1st birthday was a well attended event, with lots of friends and family, and of course gifts and well wishes.

He was diagnosed the same week with several food allergies- wheat, eggs and peanuts. Needless to say we are all on alert, reading food labels, and thinking twice before we give the little guy anything to eat.

I made him this little cake for his high chair, he didn't quite dig in to it like his Uncle Michael and his mommy did, back when they turned one! We bought the mixes at the local health food store, no wheat, gluten, eggs, sugar etc. He has taken 2-3 steps by himself, and also stands alone briefly. It won't be long he will be walking.

Winter in the High Country

Once again, Stan went on a business trip, and "old man winter" arrived in Flagstaff!

We received 17 inches of snow at our house, and 5 feet up at the Arizona Snow Bowl ski resort.

Arizona is welcoming the snow, as we have experienced drought conditions in the past few years.

Our snow blower was put to use by our neighbor Steve, he blew through the snow at our house and at his own. (I do think he enjoyed playing with the new toy).

Flagstaff will have a White Christmas this year.
