Until I saw the sea
I did not know
that wind
could wrinkle water so.

I never knew
that sun
could splinter a whole sea of blue.

Nor
did I know before,
a sea breathes in and out
upon a shore.

- Lilian Moore

This page contains pictures of Connor from 12 to 14 months old. Connor is one year old and getting cuter every day. Summer time means hiking, BBQs, and trips to the beach. Connor loves to go on hikes riding on his Daddy’s back. He gets to be six feet tall and hiking up steep hills is not the least bit strenuous. The warm weather makes for good beach days on the weekend. Connor enjoys the fresh air, seeing the sights and, of course, playing in the sand. Red seems to be his favorite color, especially evident when it comes to toys and fruit. He loves raspberries and strawberries. Now that his molars have come in he loves to chomp on a greater variety of food.

These two months saw many celebrations: his birthday along with his Daddy's birthday, his Grandpa's birthday, Father’s Day and 4th of July. It's amazing that with all the stuff he does, he still finds time to shop for presents!
