It's so hard to come up with new things that he's accomplished. It's not that he's not doing new things or saying new things, there is just not as many as there were during his first year. That's when all the big things happen! With that said, here are some things that Connor is doing that Jed and I came up with tonight!
Connor loves his baby sister. He laughs at her a lot. He thinks she is hilarious. He still calls her sister. He won't even attempt to say Caroline anymore.
He's a big helper. He will do anything you ask him to, except pick up his toys. When Caroline finishes her bottle before bed, Connor will grab it and go drop it into the sink. He will also take things to the trash can for us. One day he is going to find out just exactly what is in those diapers and then he won't be a big helper anymore, but until then...... He also loves to wipe the table after we eat dinner. He says "wipe, mommy, wipe", until I give in and let him wipe the table.
He loves to dance. The other night, Jed and I were playing some of our "old school" music, and Connor had a great time shaking his tail feathers. (One day our lack of rhythm will embarrass Connor but right now we're having a blast dancing with him!) My mom has a Santa that plays music; he will push the button and just stand there, bend his knees, and shake his booty. It is too cute!
He's still saying the prayer in his own jibberish. But now he will say it with Jed instead of waiting until afterwards to do it. The other night Connor was ready to eat, and Jed was feeding Caroline her baby food. Jed stopped feeding Caroline to say the blessing for Connor. I paused at the kitchen counter (so it would count for me), but when I sat down at the table, Connor clasped his hands in front of him and said a little prayer for me. It was so sweet.
He's been saying a few new things. He's really getting good about using phrases and sentences. One of my favorites is "it's pitty momma, it's pitty", which he says about our Christmas tree. He also said "it's not on momma". When Jed or I leave the house, he says "daddy be back, daddy be back" or "mommy be back, mommy be back". Notice I used both mommy and momma because he calls me both. It just depends on what kind of mood he's in.
He is SO not a morning person. This has been going on for a while now. He hates for us to wake him up. He kicks, screams, and cries. (which is exactly how I feel in the morning, so I guess he got it honest....) He has to be held and needs his milk right away. He cries when we brush his hair and his teeth. He usually stops when we put him in the car to go to Mrs. Rose's.
He's also not so crazy about taking pictures anymore. He either won't sit still long enough for me to snap the picture or he puts on his pouty face. His pouty face is cute, but it's not one I want in every picture.
He loves to get a hair cut. He got one last Wednesday morning. He did so well! He sits so still for Mrs. Robin (I wish he could do that for me while I took his picture!).
Connor Ward you are so precious to us. Your daddy, Caroline, and I love you so much. We love watching you grow everyday!
*****The pictures of him in pjs at the kitchen table were taken Sunday morning. He woke up in a "wonderful" mood with a CRAZY hairdo; of course, I had to take pictures.... I didn't get a good picture of his pjs, but they have an airplane on them. My mother bought them on a shopping trip when Jed and I were trying to get pregnant, but with no luck. I knew if I ever had a little boy, I wanted his nursery to be done in airplanes. So my mom bought them and put them away and when we found out we were pregnant she gave them to me. I found them in his closet a few days ago and thought about all of those days I prayed for him and longed to have a child. Thank you God for blessing me with my precious little boy!!!!!
