Fun fact #1: Although she likes wearing fancy dresses, sometimes she enjoys dressing casual, too (the jeggings and the top in these pics were a gift from her Uncle Al, who’s in one of the pics below).
Fun fact #2: Her nickname is Coywolf.
I know, completely ridiculous… The backstory: Connor likes to make these coy expressions where she purses her lips and looks mysterious, and so I say to her all the time, “You’re cute and you’re coy!” El Hub kept hearing me say it over and over, so one day he dubbed her “The Coywolf.”
Yes, I know. Ridiculous! 🙂
Fun fact #3: Her favorite lullabies are “I Just Called to Say I Love You” by Stevie Wonder and “Hey Jude” by The Beatles.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Carolina Braina says
Oooooh, those tiny feet!!! You girls are gorgeous!
Silvia says
she is adorable, Karen! Well done!
Kwmechelle says
Oh, Karen! My fave weekly feature are the ones about Connor Claire. Is she getting cuter by the day or what?! 🙂
Karen says
I think she might be, LOL! I love that I get to see more and more of her personality as the days go by, but I still can’t believe she’s getting bigger. Seems like only yesterday when she was a teeny, tiny little thing.
Are you back from your trip yet? Or are you still on vacay?
Kwmechelle says
That just means that the best is yet to come! And, yes, still on vacay. Was supposed to head out today but decided to leave tomorrow instead. Guess who may be getting a tattoo? I’d like a tiny tattoo. Verdict is still out but my bestie, who I’m visiting, JUST told me that she got a tat when we both lived in the Atl. Geez, think you know a person. I’d like a semi-colon (Google its meaning) and a Cross. Both are personal to me. Super GEEKED!!! 🙂 Keep the Connor Claire OOTD posts coming. If she’s gonna intern (model) for Tabs, she needs to get as much experience as possible. Hugs! 🙂
Karen says
Just googled it. And now sending you a big hug. I vote that you get it! I don’t have any tattoos (too fickle) but believe that if it means something powerful to you then why the heck not.
Safe travels on your way back home tomorrow! I can’t believe it’s almost Friday. THis week has gone by so fast!
Kwmechelle says
Just sent you a virtual hug right back. Can’t wait to get my symbol of rising again. And thanks for the safe travel wishes. Oh, happy (early) first Mother’s Day! Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think ?
Karen says
Where are you thinking of getting it? The pictures I saw online have it usually on the wrist. By the way, the writerly part of me appreciates that you’ve chosen punctuation as your tattoo.
And yes, I think happy Mother’s Day has a nice ring to it. 🙂 Just goes to show ya, you never know what good stuff the future holds.
Kwmechelle says
The writer in me appreciates the semicolon as well. And, yep, getting it on my wrist. I may get both symbols on one wrist, or one symbol on each wrist. Having a tiny tat on each wrist appeals to the artist/creative part of me. Having both symbols on one wrist appeals to the practical side of me because, PAIN. But, whatevs. Putting on my big girl panties and we gone do this! ?
Karen says
I like the idea of one on each wrist. Symmetry, ya know? So you’re for sure going to get it done? And is it happening today?! I’m so excited for you!
Kwmechelle says
Symmetry & very Coachella, don’t you think?! I’d LOVE to get them done today but gonna wait until I get back to my neck of the woods. I live in the resort city so there are tons of tattoo shops, but one in particular that’s pretty reputable. And I’m for sure getting it. Now that I know my doppelgänger has it, I must get it. It’s, like, fate 🙂 It also coincides with my boho-chic, Free People vibe. The symbolism behind them makes them that much more special. ?
Karen says
I can see the appeal of a vacation tattoo (that way you’ll always remember your trip), but yea, sounds like a good idea to wait until you can get home to the shop with a good reputation. Good luck! Now all you have to do is pick a good font!
Tatiana says
Thanks for sharing the photos and update with us. She truly grows more beautiful and precious by the day. Uncle Al had good taste, because that’s a cute outfit.
yelena says

she’s so stinking cute!
Sarah Call says
Karen,
It is so wonderful seeing the joy Connor has brought to your lives! I know she brings us joy. I’m so happy for you and El Hubs.
XOXO
Sarah, Vinny, and the Cats
Barb says
She is so freaking cute!! I love your Connor posts! ?
Katherine M says
Thanks for sharing and updating us! I love the nickname “Coywolf.” That is too cute. It’s awesome how a baby’s personality really starts to show as he/she gets older. Connor has some awesome parents to guide her!
Chelsea says
She is so beautiful and full of personality! I love her little smile! Looks like she likes her Uncle Al too!
Karen says
I’m super obsessed with her, LOL!
How was last weekend’s garden party? Did you have fun? And what makeup did you end up wearing?
Chelsea says
Due to poor planning, it wasn’t much different than my normal makeup, LOL. I do like the cat eye thing from Beauty Blender though!
Bunny kisses to you and Connor Claire! Once she starts eating food (not for a while!), bananas are Quincy’s favorite, if she wants his help.
Karen says
Hey, at least it was an excuse to try your new gadget! Glad to hear it worked well. Now I think I want one, too. 🙂
Oh, and bananas…Please let Quincy know that we’ve added them to the official food list. LOL!
Chelsea says
They are his absolute favorite! If you need to befriend a bunny, just get bananas! :p
Karen says
I learn something new everyday. I thought bunnies were only all about carrots and fresh herbs!
Teresa Luong says
It’s wonderful to see you and Connor Claire!!
smeegal9 says
omg, he is so cute!
smeegal9 says
Sorry I typed he, I meant to say she! Gorgeous
Syah says
she is beautiful just like her momma!
denise S says
Aww she’s adorable! Her outfits are so cute! She really looks like her mom.
Chris25 says
You both look so beautiful! And Connor has great taste in music, in my opinion. <3
LindaLibraLoca says
Now that is a great taste of music.
Lulle says
It looks like Connor Claire is just growing cuter everyday! Love the top, Uncle Al has a great sense of fashion.
I was invited to my sis-in-law’s baby shower this Sunday so I spent some time at Babies R Us with my mom-in-law on Saturday, and I couldn’t believe the cuteness of some of the outfits and onesies they had! I got my future nephew or niece a Sophie the Giraffe of course (I had one when I was a baby).
Karen says
Hi Lulle,
Ya know, I had NO IDEA that Sophie the Giraffe is such a big deal. My mom-in-law got Connor one and she’s really into it. Do you still have yours from when you were a baby?
And yeah, baby outfits are freakin’ adorable. Don’t even get me started on the little baby shoes (even though they absolutely don’t need them at all). Is your sis-in-law having a girl or a boy?
Lulle says
No, my Sophie has long fallen apart. They don’t know the gender of the baby, they wanted to keep it a surprise! That made me realize when shopping for a gift that everything for babies from outfits to toys tends to be heavily gendered. Well at least Sophie is gender-neutral!
Metta says
I’m in agreement with Connor on those lullabies. She is just too cute for words! I’m getting baby fever and Karen you look beautiful!
Lisa says
So.stinkin’.cute.
Nicole says
So adorable! I love reading your posts about Connor Claire!
Becky says
Great lullaby choices! She is just adorable!!! I can’t get over her wee toes! Beautiful, both of you 🙂
anusha says
Omg! She’s so cute in this outfit!
And karen, u look so gorgeous and u r glowing. . Please do a tutorial for that wonderful glow!
Karen says
Hi Anusha,
Aww, thanks girl! Honestly this makeup is pretty boring, LOL! I only had 15 minutes and this is all I could do in that span. I think the glow is mostly because of the Tom Ford Soleil Contouring Compact that I’m wearing on my cheeks. It’s crazy pricey ($108, OMG!), but I do have to say that it makes getting that sun-kissed glow really easy.
How have you been? Good I hope!
Kiss & Make-up says
She has good taste in music! 🙂
So adorable. She has such a cute smile!
Deborah says
Just TOO cute! Love seeing your Connor posts!
Joyce B. says
I love these pictures of Connor– and all the ones that you post. She is just so beautiful.
Maria says
Oh my goodness, she is so pretty, cute and adorable.
Jane says
You gals are so cute! Uncles and Aunts are so great to have as well. My sister and Zack are so close, she’s like another mother to him. My Brother- in-Law (my husband’s brother), also close to him.
Karen says
Hi Jane,
I’m excited that she’ll have an uncle close by. When I was growing up, my mom and dad had very little immediate family around, so I missed out on aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. I hope to give Connor all that good sctuff!
Happy Thursday, by the way. I hope you’re having a nice day so far. It’s a clear, cool day here in Northern California so I’m going for a walk in a little bit.
Kim says
Karen, she is SO adorable!! I hope Uncle Al brought you guys a little potato salad on his visit. 🙂
PS You’re looking great – I hope you’re feeling great, too!!
PPS Are you watching The Night Manager on AMC? I’m recommending it. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Kim!
Ahh, I’ve missed you! I’m feeling great. 🙂 A big part of it is time, I guess. The big hormonal swings have more or less subsided (knock on wood), and Connor is sleeping for longer stretches during the night which helps a lot. Also, I’ve gotten better at reading her cues, so most of the time, I know what she needs when she cries.
I haven’t seen The Night Manager. Is it scary? For some reason, I can’t handle anything too scary these days. If it isn’t, I’ll program Tivo to record it!
I hope that you’re doing well. 🙂
Erin says
#2 is awesome!
Ashleigh says
Those last two photos need to be framed and put up in your house 🙂
Her baby jeggings are so cute!
She is growing so fast. Take care, Mamma. <3
Karen says
Thank you, Ashleigh! 🙂 I hope that you’ve been having a good week so far. Happy (almost) TGIF!
Ashleigh says
Thanks Karen, you too! I have some friends flying down to visit me, and we’re going to Harry Potter World this weekend so I’m definitely looking forward to that! 😀 Give Connor Claire a smooch from all of your readers!
TravelingBlush says

Maryjoy Webster says
