Some Pics Of Connor

Here is Connor hanging out in the snow.









Here is Connor letting us know he is "All Done!" his strawberry dessert.





And finally here is "Connor Sanders"

It's been too long!

Well, with me back at work I don't get to post nearly as much as I'd like to these days! I managed to get Derek on board to upload some photos, and I'll take care of the "talking" so I promise you will see some new Connor photos soon! (Right Daddy???)

So, what's new you ask? Connor is still not walking, but he is getting pretty close! I guess he is walking, actually, but he still crawls 95% of the time. His balance is getting better, and he is starting to take steps when he wants to, as opposed to when we coax him to, so that is a definite 'step' in the right direction!

He is REALLY picking up speed in the talking department, however, although I may be the only one who understands what he is saying! Lately he says door, and story, I think most people will agree with me on those, but he also says "No, no, no" because it's a line from a book we read all the time! Along those same lines, he can also nod his head yes, and he says "yeah" a lot too!

Now, on to the words that only Mommy hears! He makes a sort of "cloo" sound for closed, he says "da" for diaper, and he says "oooe" for an owie, but only after I say it first. Sometimes I think he says Daddy, and hot, and every once in a while he will do the "O" part of the E-I-E-I-O in Old MacDonald Had A Farm.

He also makes a fish face when I ask him if he is a fishie, and he is starting to go "Ooo Ooh Ah" when I ask him if he is a monkey(and he sure is a monkey!).

All in all, to sum things up, he is totally adorable, and so much fun! He is learning new things at an incredible pace lately, and it's absolutely amazing!

Pictures to follow soon - I hope!
G'night!

More new things!

Connor is just picking up new things like crazy lately! Today he finally started clapping!! He went from nothing, to clapping on command just like that! It was as if something just "clicked" and he understood what he was supposed to do! He is also very good at "so big" again, after taking a little break with that. And he will put his hands up to say "All Done!" when he is finished eating, too! (Although, to be honest, he does that every time I ask him, so it's hard to say if he is actually all done or not!)

Since I am back at work now, I am not able to post on here as much as I used to, so I am trying to convince Daddy to post every once in a while, too! I think that it would be really neat for Connor to see some words from Daddy when he reads this years from now. Derek is a little hesitant, as he is not a good "wordsmith" as he calls it, but I am hoping this little blurb will convince him he should do it anyway! ;)

Here's a few pictures from the end of January when Connor and Jamie got together for a little fun in the snow:

















And here is a cute video of Connor clapping this morning!


And one of Connor taking some steps! He was a little distracted by the camera, but he sure is getting braver day by day!


Please don't pay too much attention to my flannel jammies and messy hair!

Hopefully the next post will come before too long, and maybe by Daddy!!
