Up

Yesterday Connor was able to reunite with his girlfriend Addie, who has been out of town for a week or so. He was very happy to see her and showed it by trying to eat her foot. She reciprocated her joy by bopping him on the head. My understanding is that this happens daily.

Then we went out to eat for Becca’s birthday dinner part IV w/ her girlfriends. I took Connor next door to hear some cool music at a cool café in cool South Austin. Everywhere we go Mexican women come over and touch Connor. Touching can mean pinching, kissing, rubbing, patting, squeezing, or poking. Basically if they look at him they have to touch him, or risk the dreaded mal ojo. I suppose that’s what you get living in Texas, or should I say Tejas.

It’s actually pretty cool because it just means more people coming up to interact with him. I love watching how people smile and laugh when they see him. Perfect strangers who I’d never talk to coming up and engaging with us. Makes you realize how much joy and love babies can bring…

Que mas? Oh yeah, Connor is moving around like crazy. He’s refining his crawl and can now sit up and pull up. He also spits up, but hardly ever. He’s a good eater and I don’t remember him ever having to burp or digestive issues. Score yet another point for breast feeding. He also has never gotten sick (touch wood), which we attribute to mom’s milk.

Here are a bunch of pictures from the last week or so. Included is my 94 year old grandpa and some lightning in the backyard!
