Grammy & Grampy Visit

Grammy and Grampy made the trek to Massachusetts this weekend for a visit with Connor.  Something tells me they missed their little guy!  Connor loved the aerobed that was set up in the office.  I think he thought it was a trampoline.  He had a lot of fun bouncing on it so Grammy decided to read him a book while he was on it.  He couldn't really settle down enough to read, but he did have fun crawling all around Grammy. 

On Saturday we hit up Target, then had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory.  Connor was VERY well behaved (phew!) but did not eat much of his macaroni and cheese.  He had a few of Grampy's fries and a bunch of raisins.  We then walked around the mall for a bit.  He was so good!  He fell asleep on the way home and took a very long nap.  He was not so sleepy when it came to bedtime, and didn't end up falling asleep until 10 or so.  

Sunday was swimming lessons!  Grammy and Grampy came with us to watch and take some pictures.  The water was a little cold this morning.  Most of the kids were all shivering!  The instructor ended class about 5 minutes early because she could tell everyone was cold and cranky.  Despite the cold, Connor did VERY well today.  He jumped in without me holding onto him!  Usually he waits until I hold his hands, but today I was able to back up from the wall a bit and he jumped into my arms!  He had some great kicks, too!  We threw a ball to practice our reaching and pulling, and he had some great throws, too!  He seemed to really enjoy himself today (well, until we had to go under water), but other than that he had a fun time. 

As Grammy and Grampy were leaving, Connor wanted to get in their car.  Well, anyone's car, actually.  He kept trying to open the door of any car he could find, and even made a mad dash to the neighbors car, too.  I'm not quite sure why he was doing this - I've never seen him do it before.  He started to get very grouchy when we wouldn't let him in the cars, so after we said goodbye to Grammy and Grampy, it was off to bed for Connor. 

We had a very nice weekend and hope to see Grammy and Grampy in April during Mommy's vacation.

Pictures of you swimming plus warm weather makes me want summer! Looks like you had a fun visit. We need to plan another family get together soon! Children's Museum, maybe?
