I LOVE these pictures of you and your stuffed monkey together because we can see how much you've really grown!  Look how much you've grown in just the last month!!


Such a big, sweet boy!

There is so much to tell you about all that you are doing now!  It seems like you are doing something new everyday!!!  Here are the biggies we want to remember about your 3rd month :)
  • You can grasp objects with your hand and hold them.
  • You can put your hands together like you are clapping.
  • You smile ALL THE TIME! It is unbelievably sweet!
  • You giggle! :)
  • You love to be moving!  You love to sit in your bouncy and swing.  You also like for us to bounce you on our knee!  Those little legs of yours just kick and kick all day!!!
  • You LOVE to eat.  You are a milk-a-holic, of course.  You eat about 6 to 8 times a day.  I don't know how I'm able to keep up with you, Mr. Chunkers!
  • You sleep ALL night, take a big 2-3 hour nap each afternoon and have a few little cat naps here and there.
  • You are officially wearing 3-6 month clothing and also moved up to size 2 diapers! Big boy!!!

  • You have discovered you can make raspberries! (Wet razzing sound with your mouth) LOL
  • You talk! (or babble!)
  • You can hold your head up on your own when you are put in a seated position.
  • You can hold your head up when you are on your tummy.
  • You can follow people and objects with your eyes.
  • You can turn in the direction of a voice.
  • You have started sitting in your Bumbo and LOVE being able to look around at what's going on!
All giggles

and all smiles this month!

Sitting in your Bumbo like a big boy!!

You LOVE your bouncy!

Having a conversation with daddy! :)

Silly boy! You were fussy one day, and the only way we got you to calm down was to swaddle you! lol


Happy 3 months Liam!
We love you, we love you, we love you!!!
You are such as sweet baby and we love every moment we get to spend with you!  You are such a blessing and we can't wait to see what all you are going to do in the next month!  Watching you and Connor learn and grow is the best gift God could have ever given us!  We love you to the moon and back a million times!

Love,
Momma and Daddy

24 things we love about our 24 month old!

Connor James is officially 2 years old!  I say every month that time sure has flown by, and it really has! I can't believe that we are celebrating 24 months with our beautiful baby boy!

Our sweet precious boy, only days old!

And just look at you now!  You are such a sweet and handsome 2 year old!


You sure do keep us entertained! You are a bundle of energy and we love every moment we get to spend with you!  Here are 24 things we want to remember about you at this age:

  1. You give surprise hugs! You run up to us and hug us real quick, then run off!  It is the sweetest thing ever!
  2. You have discovered that you can reach the light switches.
  3. You have learned what "on" and "off" means thanks to your discovery of the light switches.
  4. You are a blankie hoarder.  You think you need to carry around ALL of your blankets ALL of the time.
  5. You are a paci-a-holic.  So we have weaned you back to only getting a paci at nap time and bed time.  Pretty soon, those will go too!  You're getting so big!


  6. You have found a new hiding place.  You fit perfectly between the bookcase and the TV console. LOL


  7. You are into patterns and organizing! LOL  See: 

  8. You love to wrestle with your daddy.
  9. You think your papaw is the best!  You bring me the phone and say, "Papaw!" to tell me to call him.
  10. You have figured out where Mamaw and Papaw live because you scream when we drive past their road and don't stop! LOL
  11. You have started giving your little brother, Liam, kisses! It is unbelievably sweet!
  12. You love your kiddie pool and have really enjoyed playing in the sun this summer! 

  13. You have discovered Happy Meals from McDonald's and think they are AWESOME!  I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing!
  14. You love to read... in fact, we read together constantly! I love it!!
  15. You definitely still love your technology, especially the ipad!  You only get it in moderation, of course!
  16. You are a big fan of Super Why and Sesame Street!
  17. You LOVE granola bars!!!
  18. You love to go bye-bye! You don't care where to, you just want to go! LOL
  19. You have started walking to and from the car.  You hold our hand and walk with us like a big boy!!!
  20. You went to your first movie in the theatre this month! We saw Ice Age 3 on your birthday!  You LOVED the experience!!! We didn't make it through the whole movie, but we thought you did an excellent job for it being your first movie!!!

  21. You are a helper! You love to help us, no matter the task.  You help load and unload the washer and dryer, you help pick up toys, you turn off the TV or the lights for us when we ask! You are so sweet!
  22. When we ask you to give us kisses sometimes you do, and sometimes you just lean over so we can give you a kiss on the forehead! You are such a stinker! lol
  23. You think you need to sit in all of Liam's seats! LOL  You try to sit in his bouncy seat, bumbo, car seat, and swing! Silly boy!
  24. You are counting things!  When you put objects in front of you, you count them! 1, 2, 3...  Such a smart boy!
We can't believe how time has flown and that our baby is now our 2 year old!  We love you so much and enjoy watching you learn and grow each and every day!  You make every day an adventure and we can wait to see what year 3 brings!  We love you to the moon and back a million times over!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Connor! 
We love you so much!
