Conner turns 1! Prt. 1

I can't see the pictures while I am writing this, but I can see them when I preview, so I am just going to write everything before the picures and hopefully the issue will be resolved before the next post. Conner got to have three birthday parties for his first birthday; one over Labor Day weekend, one on the 18th, and one on his actual birthday on the 22nd. This post is about his party over Labor Day weekend when we actually celebrated three birthdays - Conner's, Grandpa's, and Steve's. Grammy and Grandpa came down on Saturday. The first order of business was to put together Conner's new car. I don't know if Conner was more excited about holding (sucking on) the screwdriver or getting a ride in his car. The car has a floor in it so his feet wouldn't drag while getting pushed. This week though Conner is able to use his own feet to drive the car, although it is only backwards. He also likes to get behind it and push it around the yard. On Sunday we all went to the zoo to see the new 2 week old baby chimp that made national news because the mom is 56 (or 80 years old in human years)! They had some feeding demonstrations of different animals so the kids got to see the chimps, monkeys, and sea otters eat. The highlight for Kaylee, as always, was feeding the ducks and goats. Conner preferred to look at the goats from a ways back. Sunday night we had a supper to celebrate all the birthdays with ribs on the grill and cake. The Boggs family came over also for supper and to visit. Conner got his first taste of cake and loved it! Even tried licking (eating?) the plate.
