conner *little monster

if you know me, you know that i love spending time with children. so when one of my favorite cousins (katie!!!) announced that she and jp were pregnant i was BEYOND excited. seriously, she is amazing (good job jp) and so much fun and just a joy. she also really likes photography so when she wanted to take baby pictures of conner she invited me over to snap a few pictures too... THANK YOU KATIE. not only did she let me move her furniture around to find good lighting, she had TONS of cute little outfits and ideas for pictures with conner.

these first two pictures are from her baby shower back in march, but i decided to include them here because technically conner is in these pictures too :) enjoy!

so pretty.

hereeeeee's conner! this outfit belonged to his daddy and there is a picture of jp in this little sailor suite with this same blanket! katie's plan was to surprise jp on his first father's day with a picture of conner in the same outfit!

such a little model.

p.r.e.c.i.o.u.s.

oh i just ADORE this one. he's saying 'i know i'm cute, so i'll give you a little smile'

this bear is made from one of paw-paw's work shirts. if he could see his great grandson he'd be so proud!

another 'model face' shot :)

FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY: when katie brought out this little jewel. it was a monster halloween costume that one of her co-worker's had. since conner's nursery theme is 'cute monsters' this was absolutely perfect!!

the majority of these monsters were crochetted by someone (i can't remember who - sorry!!) in katie's family. so talented!

loved the feet

and then jp got home and we made him participate too :)

conner was getting fussy by this point (i can't really say that i blame him... we took a lot of pictures) so he looks kindof miffed in this one, but his eyes are so blue! so i had to share

since he's in the family, you can expect to see this little guy A LOT in the future. good thing he's cute ;)
