THERE ARE NO STRINGS ON CONOR


Conor may be his own man but it turns out that babies don't swallow solid foods automatically. As it turns out, they have to learn how to swallow. That's why they start out with soft food and slowly learn to eat things that have a thicker consistency and eventually little pieces of chicken and beef mixed in. I always thought they ate soft foods because of they had no teeth. But that was only half the story. Here, Conor hasn't grasped the idea of swallowing. Poor little guy.

CONOR'S FIRST TRICK OR TREAT HALLOWEEN


It's been awhile since I've enjoyed a good Halloween. Years ago, I used to scare the little kids who came to our door when I lived in Atlanta. But I stopped one year and never got back in the spirit. This year was fun all over again. Instead of scaring kids, my wife and I took our one-year old out to do some of our own trick or treating. True, he's too young to eat the candy. But it's a great way to meet the neighbors that we never seem to have the time to get out and meet. And a great way for Conor to practice being an extravert. We started with the new neighbors next door from Russia. They're really nice and Conor enjoyed picking through their candy. Then we went over to another neighbor and they invited us in for pizza and beer. We accepted their kind offer and hung out with them for awhile. then, as a group, we all headed out for some more trick or treating. We met a nice couple who had just moved in a couple of weeks earlier. Conor was a hit wherever we went. I would set him loose on their porch and he would walk up to the door. He can't really talk yet so there was no 'trick or treat.' No one expected him to talk anyhow, he's so little. Everyone laughed and gave him candy that he couldn't really eat. There was a particular house that I always thought was beautiful so I told Val we should go trick or treat them and get a look at the inside. When we trick or treated her and introduced ourselves as neighbors, (we live a few blocks away), she actually invited us on a tour of her house. So we took her up on her offer and got to see the whole thing. This Halloween was a great one and it's good to be back in the swing of enjoying the holidays with all the joy that they're meant to bring. Happy Halloween!
