Canada, eh!

We spent last Friday-Wednesday just outside of Montreal, Quebec in a small town called LaChute. Matt's Gran and Uncle live up there and we went to see them. Nans and Gramps both grew up in Montreal and LaChute and enjoyed showing Connor where they grew up. It was his first trip to visit his Great Gran and Great Uncle Don.

Connor is an amazing traveler and we had a great time. He was amazing on the plane rides and an absolute trooper the whole week....what an awesome boy! Connor got to visit a flea market in LaChute and meet a horse for the first time. He absolutely loved it....I think he thought they were like overgrown puppies. We just couldn't get him away from them. Of course, one tried to bite his little hand but luckily Mom was too fast for the horse! I think he was looking for carrotts.

We also had a picnic at his Great Gran's farm house with lots of family. Connor got to meet his Great Great Uncle Doug, his Great Auntie Joan, and his 3rd cousin Les. It was a really awesome experience for everyone to meet the newest McNicoll.

Here are a few pictures of our Canadian experience. You can also few the whole album at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=91178&id=500038261&l=1f99f2308c

Sprouting Teeth & Milestones

We found Connor's first tooth last Monday. I was feeding him lunch and he LOVES to drink water from my water glass so I proceeded to let him have a sip. To my amazement when the glass hit his gums I heard a "clanck"....so I felt around and sure enough he had a little tooth coming in on the bottom....FINALLY! Over the next few days he has started to get another tooth on the top and another tooth on the bottom. They are just sprouting like crazy. They are still quite small and hard to see in pictures but I will post some "teeth" pictures as soon as I get some good ones.

Connor has also started to crawl over the past few weeks. He started slowly but surely when we were in Lubbock visiting Aunt Lyd and Uncle B. He still isn't crawling on his hands and knees but he gets where he needs to go (more of an army crawl). I am already starting to find things that need to be baby proofed and he isn't even moving at full speed yet....I am in trouble. I have no doubt this kid will go from crawling to running and just skip over walking! :) He is ALWAYS going.

Here are a few pics of our lake trip with Aunt Jess, Uncle Jared, and Kaitlyn! Connor had a great time and LOVED the water. He also got to tube for the first time with Mama! It was a great day!
P.S. Connor wants a disclaimer that the sunglasses are Kaitlyn's and MOM made him wear them! :)
