So Proud of Himself


Connor finally has the strength to stand up by himself against something for extended periods now and is SO proud of himself in the process!  It is so easy to get him to smile.  Here he is "looking out the window" (although it's more of looking at the windowsill...not quite that tall yet!)  He is ten months old now, hard to believe...

Teethers are A-Comin'

I spy with my little eye...


...two front teeth underneath those gums!  It won't be long now!

Getting Along


They get along marvelously!  How wonderful.

Punkins and Leafs




Connor was pretty cooperative during this "photo session" today...what a cute age he is!  Almost 9 months...can't hardly believe it!

In Action

I've finally gotten around to uploading a ton of new videos to our YouTube site and here's one of my favs from this summer!

BIG Owie

Caitlin leaned over a little too far one day and fell out of her booster seat up on a counter-height stool...right on her head! Poor girl!

This was a swollen as it got, it went down right after this picture.
She even helped hold the "medicine" (frozen peas) on it!

He's a Blondie...

My dark haired, fauxhawked little boy has been replaced with a rather dapper, thick haired, little blonde one. The haircut today seemed to have gotten rid of the last bit of brown that had been hanging on at the ends-! I still can't help but see his darker hair when I look at him though, the blond makes him look so different!
Now, does anyone have an idea how such a dark haired, dark eyed person like me (and my whole family, btw) ends up with two super blond, blue eyed babies? It's just weird!

Giggles, Squeals and Squawks

During our trip to MT last month!

Oh Boy

I just can't get enough of this boy! He is such a delight to our family with his easy smiles and laid back ways. He is thrilled when we show excitement to whatever his newest trick happens to be (most recently this is sitting up and the appearance of his first tooth!) and loves to snuggle in and cuddle with anyonw when he's tired. Thank you God for this little boy!

Sister Dress Up

In case you can't tell, that's a princess crown on his head! It's SOOOO cute how she plays with him these days!

Grandma Came To Visit

Before we all traveled to Canada in June Grandma arrived here to visit us first. It was fun to play with her and show her our stomping grounds!

"A-B-C-D...."

Wednesday night as we were driving home from our small group Bible study Caitlin started singing her ABCs in the back seat. We have sung them here and there, but never "worked" on them with her, so we were pretty impressed (and shocked!).

Be sure to check out our YouTube channel for additional recent videos of the kids!

Love Abroad

Connor and his Canadian girlfriend!
Don't worry, they had a chaperone around at all times, and he only tried to eat her face twice. (ok maybe three times, but who's counting?)

We had a blast playing with sidewalk chalk last week and 'discovered' a new game. Check out the video to see for yourself!

Wrinkles and Bottom

I love the wrinkles on Connor's forehead when he looks up like this. And the way his little bottom sticks up in the second picture is just adorable!

Pearly Whites

I found this Bumbo seat + tray on Craigslist and lo and behold even Caitlin fits in it-! (I bought it for Connor.) And this is her face when I say, "Show me your teeth!" (much less abstract (and much more effective lately) than, "Smile!")

Got His Head in the Game

Caitlin sat down and read to Connor the other day and conveniently used his head to help prop her book up... (this is why Mama stays around to monitor playtime...)...at least he doesn't seem to mind-!

Siblings

Blue eyed on a Boppy.
And cute I might add. :)

Miss Caitlin

Two cute shots of Caitlin from the last week...
Such a good big sister putting Connor's pacifier in his mouth (and showing him how to open his mouth in the meantime...haha!)One evening we had to stall a bit before putting Caitlin to bed (saying goodbye to company) so we sat her on the couch and gave her her bear to cuddle with--she immediately asked for the blanket and snuggled right in...aww....

Vocalizing

Someone has found his voice....

101 Expressions of Silliness

These are the faces I got today at lunch when I told her to "be silly" for the camera. She wanted to see each picture immediately after I took it too, so some of them are her funny reactions to her own faces! Classic.(Click on the image to see an enlarged version)

Zonked Out

Here in the Maass household we wear our kids OUT! :)
See the video before Connor falls asleep here.

Mr. Connor

Whoa, five weeks old already?! (see the slight smile in the pic above? it's SO sweet!)

Lounging

It's fun to cuddle with Papa...

Classy

Not only is she walking around with her onesie undone and untucked, she is so thrilled about her new recorder that she doesn't even care that her necklace is caught over her ears (which usually drives her crazy!!).

Hello Nephew

Aunt Molly meets Connor for the first time!

Big Sister!

Although blurry, what a sweet moment to capture! Caitlin was such a sweetheart to her new brother when she met him for the first time.
