The Rest of March and Easter: March 13-31

The rest of March was pretty uneventful really. We had a blast playing more with Connor and watching him continue practicing to support himself sitting up. We realized that the more he learns to move himself around physically, the more curious he becomes - which we love to see.

Connor puts his foot in the air but, like, he just don't care.

Connor loves to play links on the mat. March 21

But Connor wants to know what's UNDER the playmat! March 23
Connor loves exploring and playing with his toys..



Actually, he likes to play with just about anything he can get his hands on... here's him being silly with some baskets we use to store his toys

Still going through the pain of teething, Connor finds comfort in his toys. The triptych below features Connor recovering from teething pain with his dragon finger puppet. March 13 






Speaking of teeth, here's our first really good shot of Connor's first teeth! Also check out his new hat. Stylin'!

Some more shots of Connor comfortable on the floor. He isn't crawling but he is wiggling around a lot and moving himself ever-so-slowly that way.

Of course, like many babies, one of Connor's favorite things to do at this age is put toys in his mouth. Hilariously, he often opened his mouth first and then would crash his head into the toy to get it in his mouth. 



Time for some funny photos with Connor and Christian. Connor thinks Christian is simply hysterical! Here's some fun shots of the two C's cracking up.

Speaking of funny... You may have noticed that Christian was in need of a haircut (see the bouffant in one last post's photo that makes it look like it was taken in the 70's). So, he got a haircut that was actually great but after they cut hair, they like to style it. They gave Christian a popular style here... what do you think? March 13






















Don't worry, this was just held in with hair product... after he washed the gunk out, it looked great!

Food update:
We're still letting Connor taste food, but we're really not pushing solid foods too hardcore because he isn't very interested. Still, we do try to give him some solid food (even if it's only a small amount) everyday... But we haven't been very consistent with documenting his eating with photos... so there are only a few to share. Here's is Connor eating some homemade apple sauce. We snapped these mostly because he is doing a good job with his spoon (a rare feat!) and because he looks nice in the pink bib, hehe. March 21
This one is a bit random here, but we went to the hospital just to visit the doctor from when Connor was born, who has since become our friend.

Easter - March 31, 2013
Even though no one (that we know) celebrates Easter here, we wanted to do something special for Connor's first Easter. So we bought a ton of eggs, boiled and dyed them!



Kim and Christian both dyed eggs, but Connor was only allowed to watch.

Christian is a very meticulous egg dyer.
Lovely dyes lined up with eggs in the background.
Kim and Connor watch eggs soak in dyes.
You can see that Kim also needs a haircut!
Our finished products!
When we were done, we visited some friends and delivered an egg or "few" to them. 
While visiting a friend, Christian held Connor who had fallen asleep in his arms.

Later, the same day, Connor cuddles up to Christian.

So sweet!
