He eats bananas with the big boys!

On Saturday morning, Ed and Connor get up together while I sleep in (YAY!). Last week, Ed tried to eat a banana, but Connor decided to slobber all over it and claim it for himself. Reportedly, he ate about two-thirds of the banana, chomping away.

Tonight, I got to see this feat in action. For dinner, Connor enjoyed most of a banana. When he stopped eating it in Ed's lap, he was able to get many pieces of it into his mouth (the advantage of being a rather sticky food). He finished his meal off with a little avocado, a tiny bit of rice, and part of a tortilla chip. Yes, the nutrition police might make an arrest in this house any day.

This weekend we're going to say good-bye to friends we met while working at the IRS many years ago. Connor and I are going to a mom's group where one of the moms is going to lead a Music and Me class. Apparently it involves a parachute which I'm sure Connor will find delightful. Hopefully I'll have photos to share.

It's a good thing Connor lights up whenever I come near him, because last night was not a good night for sleeping. It's hard to stay even a teeny bit annoyed though when he flashes that signature, toothless grin.
