Running

Having a toddler means lots of running, running to get out the door for the office, running from one place to another, running in moments of fun, running at the playground and eventually we crash.  And when we do, it is oh so sweet.  Conor has been on the constant move since he started walking before his first birthday but once he lets me rock him to sleep it is the sweetest moment that I do not want to let go.  To think he will one day learn to say no.  But for now I enjoy all the kisses, sign language, and tight hugs.   

Water and sun fun brings this guy to nap time.

 This little guy enjoyed his second wedding of the summer.  It was one hot day.

I do not know why he thinks he is so funny but there was a smile hiding under those towel.

We enjoyed some time downtown and Conor got to have his first hard ice cream.  

Conor also enjoys cuddling his teddies these days, often piling them on top of himself or us.

Crazy hair day.

Conor enjoyed his second zoo trip but this time he was walking all over the place.

But his favorite place had to be the splash pad and the carousel.  I think he remembered his first ride in San Francisco at Pier 49.

We opened college football season in our Irish gear, teaching him our team to root for. 

This is one of my favorites, Conor does not have a preference on stuffed animals but this puppy just happens to be one from my childhood.  Not as soft as others but he gets a lot of cuddles.
