Once again it has been way to long since I have posted! Now that spring is here we are spending time outside every day, and Connor is loving the sunshine! We play in the back yard and Connor likes running barefoot through the grass though he does stay on his tippy toes quite a bit! He also likes going for walks around the block, pointing out all the cats and dogs!
He is also getting much taller and likes to put his sippy cup in the kitchen sink when he is done, and also puts his tooth brush in the bathroom sink after he brushes! He has been eating like a horse lately, and we think he is working on some teeth, because he is drooling quite a bit, and likes to bite mommy's arm!
He is learning new things at an incredible rate these days, and will copy anything you do! He likes to help me sweep, and will run to the broom closet as soon as he hears the word! He also likes to help put laundry away, and help unload the dishwasher! He likes to knock on windows and doors, and, much to our chagrin, has discovered Leo's bum!! He knows that after Leo comes in from outside, we have to wipe his bum(he's a Bulldog, so he can't do it himself!) so as soon as leo comes in Connor will run around chasing Leo pointing at his bum! it's adorable, but kind of scary at the same time!
He's moved his nap to the afternoon also, but now an average nap is 60-90 minutes, instead of 40-60minutes, so I think it was a move in the right direction!!
Well, that is all for now! Derek has told me that there will be some new pictures up tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Better Late than Never!!
Well, I guess i just need to come to terms with the fact that I will only post once a week at most, even though I always think it will be sooner!
There is not too much new going on - Connor continues to get better at walking, and tries to copy everything we say and do! He has started trying to put his own bib on even! We had dinner at Auntie Elvie and Uncle Dale's house today, and Connor even tried to say Eeyore when Elvie said it!!
And - we did move the seat to the forward facing position, and Connor loves it! He always gets a huge grin on his face when we look back at him! I really like being able to see what he is doing, too, but now he can throw his toys much farther, and it's harder for me to find them!
So - his current height/weight stats are:
Weight: 20lb 13oz.
Height 30 1/4in.
He's still a lightweight, but he makes up for it in speed!
:)

New world, new words!
Hello Everyone!
Once again, I apologize for the lack of new posts! I am finding it harder and harder to have any free computer time these days!
I had meant to comment on the pictures that Derek posted, but it already seems like so long ago that those were taken, and so much has changed!
Connor got quite a haircut a week or so ago, and at first I was upset that it was too short, but looking at those last pictures, he sure had a crazy mop of hair before! I will be sure to get Daddy to put up some post haircut pictures as soon as he can.
So, what is new with the Con-man, you ask? He is walking like crazy, and though he is still a little wobbly, he is gaining speed and accuracy at a rapid pace! He loves to chase a ball around on the deck, and is getting the hang of his "outside shoes".
He is also picking up new words every day! Here is a short list of what he says now:
Door
Down
Ball
Bird
More
Moo
"Bark bark bark","woof woof woof", or a combination of the two!
Book
Cheese
Bread
Bubbles
...
And there are more, I am sure! But - I do have to add that although Daddy and I know what he is saying, few other people would know more than door, more and possibly bird!
Pretty much all of the words that start with 'B' are some variation of 'baaa' and the same goes for the D words!
He also just today started saying "on" and I am sure that is because he watched his cousin Kaden turning a lightswitch off and on yesterday after Easter Dinner and exclaiming "ON!!" with a fit of giggles each time the light got brighter!
Connor also finally calls me "Ma"! He has been calling Derek "Da" for weeks now but I have been nameless to him until just recently! And he is filling in the "O" in E-I-E-I-O again which I think is totally adorable!
I have been restraining myself from getting Connor weighed since his birthday, but I think I am going to take him in tomorrow and see how he is doing. Despite knowing that it's safer to keep him rear facing in the car seat for as long as possible, I am itching to turn him forward, and I think he just may have broken that 20 pound mark finally!
I will be sure to update with his stats tomorrow when we get back!
Well, that is all for now! I know I say it every time, but I promise not to wait so long before the next update!

It's official!!!!
We have a walker!!!! Just the last two days, Connor has decided to start walking to get where he wants to go! Now, he is still very wobbly, and usually he ends up crawling before he gets to his destination, but he has certainly come to realize the benefits of having his arms free while in motion!
It is so cute to see my li'l boy doing such big things!
I guess it's official - Derek and I are the proud parents of a toddler!
Ack!

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!
