Connor is 20 months!

It's hard to believe this was 20 months ago...

Cousin Tyler, 9 months, and Connor, newborn

I'm pretty sure you didn't know what to think of each other here!! LOL

What's really funny about this picture is the fact that we bought these matching outfits in advance, and they were too little for our big boys!  Tyler is squeezed into an 18 month, and Connor into a newborn size!!  You were both busting out of them and only got to wear them this one time! haha!!

...and here we are 20 months later!

Tyler, 29 months, and Connor 20 months!

It's always an adventure when you two get together! :)

Without further adieu, Connor, here is an update on all that you are doing at 20 months...

1.  You are still completely obsessed with the Ipad!  At first, I thought this was a bad thing, but you LOVE learning new things.  Your favorite apps are teaching you the alphabet, numbers, colors, and animals!  It's so neat to see how much you have learned!  Here you are playing your favorite app... Elmo ABC's!

2.  Speaking of learning... you officially know ALL of the alphabet.  You know your uppercase and lowercase letters.  You can say them and you can point them out (even out of order!)  We were shocked at how well (and how quickly) you learned them!  We knew you could repeat all of the letters, as you do when we say them (or when Elmo says them! lol), but we didn't realize the extent of your knowledge until this week!  You were playing with one of your toys, and it has the letters printed on it.  You started pointing to various letters and saying them! Now you point them out where ever you see them!  You are such a smart boy!

Pointing to, and saying the letters on your clock toy! :)

3.  Momma and Daddy are both so excited to officially announce that you are off of the bottle!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It has been a struggle, but we finally found the solution! The Nuk learner cup was the magical solution!  We call it the "Big Boy Ba-Ba!"

4.  Since the weather has been CRAZY in the month of March, we have spend a lot of time outside enjoying the warm weather... and oh my goodness, do you LOVE being outside!  Your favorite thing to do?  Hold your ball and walk completely around the house, over and over! LOL

5.  You have discovered popsicles and LOVE them!  You are just like your Momma!

 

 

6.  You love listening to music and dancing!  You love for daddy to play the guitar!  And you LOVE the song, "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes!"  See:

Head!

and Toes!!

7.  You are a big time daddy's boy all of the sudden!  You follow him around like you are his little shadow and have to do whatever daddy does.  You LOVE building block towers with daddy too!

Daddy's little shadow, helping him pay the bills! :)

8.  When you play with your letter blocks, you like to point out the letters of the alphabet on them, and then you clap for yourself and say, "Yayyyyyyyyyy!"  LOL

9.  You are a bath-a-holic!  You think baths are so much fun! The other day you didn't want to come inside from playing so Momma had to bribe you with a bath!  You came right in! ;)

Our little water frog!!

10.  You had to move up sizes in your clothes!  You are becoming such a big boy!! You were wearing 18/24 month clothes for most of winter! Now you are wearing 24 month/ 2T/ and even 3T!!!  Here are some of our great finds for this summer!!  You really like sports! ;)

11.  You are still REALLY into Elmo! :)  You think that little, red guy is the best things ever!

Showing off your Elmo slippers! :)

Look what Momma found for you and Liam to wear this summer!!

12.  You are becoming such a good little eater!  You are opening up to more variety all the time! This makes Momma and Daddy so happy! 

13.  You say, "All Done!" when you are finished eating! :)

Saying, "ALL DONE, Momma!!!"

14.  You are really into your play kitchen right now! You love to play with the dishes and cook on the stove!!

15.  We had to "baby proof" our furniture even more! lol  You kept finding ways to bruise yourself, so now we have special padding on the edges!

16.  You LOVE to be read to, and you love to read to yourself!  Always have, and hopefully always will!

  Here are some of your favorite books at the moment:  My Big Alphabet Book and Goodnight, Gorilla!

17.  We are pretty sure your favorite color at the moment is blue! How do we know? Well, you always eat the blue Fruit Loops first! LOL

18.  You love your Cousin Ryan and his girlfriend Kylie!  You follow them around saying, "Ryan, RYAN!!!" until they give you their full attention! :)

Ryan and Kylie made us dinner the other night, and it was YUMMY!

19.  You are in training for becoming a big brother!! :)  You are learning how to "be easy!"  You are going to be one pretty cool big brother!

20.  It is officially "March Madness!"  The NCAA tournament is in full swing, and you are the cutest little UofL fan out there! ;)  At least we think so!

Happy 20 months, Bubby! 

We love you to the moon and back a million times! 

We can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!

God has truly blessed us!
