Catching up from the holidays

Connor is doing great and is starting to talk up a storm. We did our normal trip to Colorado over the holidays and we all had a fun time.

Pumpkins

Today we took Connor to the pumpkin patch for some pictures. He seemed a little overwhelmed at first with all of the pumpkins but finally decided it was okay to play. Mommy & Daddy had fun trying to keep up with him as he was running around.

They grow up fast

Wow, we have made it to 18 months! Connor weighs just under 31 lbs and is 33 inches long. We have a big boy on our hands. New words seem to be added to his vocabulary on a daily basis. I'm just scared that he will pick up some "adult" words in the process.

Coming home from work the other day, Connor escaped and crawled in the front seat of the car. Imitation is the name of the game now, so he decided he needed to go for a drive.

Videos of the action

Connor could be nicknamed the quicker picker upper since he likes to clean up spills.

He is also helping "make" Grandpa Ben's famous pizza.

Catching up

Connor is getting bigger by the day. He is learning "big boy" things but is seeming to be a little reluctant to talk. His favorite form of communication is the grunt and point method but he does have the word "kitty" down pat.

Grandma Ann & Grandpa Ben have started cooking with Connor. They have even purchased an adjustable height platform so he can be closer to/get involved in the action on the countertops.

Pool Time

Connor definitely enjoys playtime but especially enjoys it when it involves water. Grandma Ann & Grandpa Ben have turned it into a learning experience as they work on his numbers.

H-O-R-S-E

Nope, don't mean the basketball game but do mean a toy of the bouncing variety.

Connor got a horse from his grandparents for his birthday. He hasn't really been interested in it until recently. Here is a video of him "riding".
