Cousins and Crawling!

The last few weeks have been very exciting around here! We went on a trip to Austin to visit Brendan's brother Jason and his family. The road trip actually went really well and Isabelle was very excited to go on a "trip." Barney on the DVD player and the iTouch kept her entertained in the car, and Connor was just a good little baby as usual. Here are some pics from the visit.

Eating cereal in the morning. Ella got Luke and Isabelle both set up with their bowls.




About to ride the Cedar Park choo choo train. It was really cute and a lot of fun.



Playing dress up with Ella. Ella gave Isabelle a dress up kit with jewelry, shoes, etc, and she loved it!

Riding a scooter! Santa (aka Grandma) has one all ready for Isabelle in his sleigh for Christmas!

Riding bikes with Luke



All of Brendan's Austin cousins came over with their kids for a cookout. It was so much fun for Isabelle to play with all of them! Here are Ella, Luke, Isabelle, and Evan playing dead in the yard.



All in all it was a great trip! When we returned home, Connor decided to start crawling. I can't believe my sweet baby is already crawling. Isabelle gave me 13 months of immobility. This little guy will be walking in no time!


When he first started to attempt it, Isabelle would run over and plop down on him. Thanks, big sis! She did not know what to think of it. Here is the evidence:

Here I go! Here I go!!!!!


Plop! Maybe not...

Here he is crawling to his toys. I love how he explores everything! It's so much fun to watch.


And as with exploring, he wasted no time in checking out the electrical items I have scattered around at floor level. "Hmmm...this looks interesting!"


Maybe I'll try to grab it!!


And here are some cute pics to share.


My two babies in their matching jammies. Isabelle thinks it's so awesome that they have the same outfit. I won't be able to get away with this much longer!


I am really looking forward to the Christmas season!
