Hi, my name is Connor Samuel Crook. I was born September 19, 2008, at 8:08 A.M. in Room 201 at Baptist East Hospital in Montgomery, Alabama. I weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz and was 19 inches long.

I’ve come a long way since then. I’m about four months old and I currently weigh close to 17 pounds. I’m chubby and smile a lot, and I prefer creamed butternut squash and Enfamil formula. I like to be carried on long walks on the beach, except when I have to poop.

I’m almost 11 months old and I can crawl, walk (sort of), and goo-goo with the best of them. I can eat cheerios and goldfish and make an extraordinary mess doing so. I like to smile and laugh a lot, except when Daddy won’t let me grab the electrical cord, but I’ll smile for you anytime.

Here’s a pretty decent (if dated) photo of me:
