Connor James is 21 months!

21 months already!?!

Every month I say that I can't believe you are another month older, but it's so true!  I can't believe my baby is a toddler, and pretty soon I won't be able to believe that my toddler is a little boy! :(  You are growing up so fast, but it has been, without a doubt, the best 21 months of my life!  You are full of energy and keep us on or toes! I love watching you learn and grow, but I wish I could slow down time a little bit! ;)

This month is super special because your brother is going to be here very soon!  You two will be 21 months apart in age!!!  I'm so excited for the two of you to meet!  You are going to be such a great big brother!!!

In celebration of your first 21 months, here are 21 things we want to remember about you at this age:

1. You are a major daddy's boy at the moment!  This makes Momma a little sad! :( lol

2.  You absolutely LOVE blocks right now!  You love to building towers with Daddy and you LOVE bringing us your wooden blocks so you can tell us the letters on them!

3.  You know your numbers 1 through 10! Yep, you are a sponge! You are learning so much, so quick that it's hard to keep up!

4.  Your Elmo obsession is still going strong! :)  That little red monster is so much fun!

5.  We celebrated your second Easter this month! 

6.  You got a battery-powered four-wheeler for Easter that you LOVE!!!! It is very hard to get you off of it sometimes!  You are so cute driving yourself around!

7. You found Netflix on Daddy's Ipad, and you are really into watching Sesame Street and Super Why! episodes! I'd never seen Super Why! before, but it's a really cute show! (Momma also really loves that it teaches alphabet and reading skills!! lol)

8.  You are really into any type of technology.  I guess you are really taking after your Daddy!  You love the Ipad, computer, and our cell phones!  You also really like toys that are technology based!  Maybe you're another future computer engineer, like your cousin Ryan!

9.  You are still really into books! Yay!!!!!  We read books together everyday, and Momma loves it!  You crawl into our laps with your books and blankie and we read away!

10.  You are starting to read books by using picture clues!!!  You are reading your Goodnight, Gorilla book and your Peek-a-WHO book! :)

11.  You have started naming animals you see in books and on your clothing!

12.  You have starting pointing our your colors on things other than Fruit Loops!!! lol

13.  Shopping has become a little difficult recently.  You are Mr. Independent, and being confined in a shopping cart is not for you!

14.  You got to spend 2 weeks with Momma and Daddy this month!  One week was just you and Momma for her spring break, and then the following week was just you and Daddy for his spring break!  You were one spoiled little boy!! ;)

We watched lots of Sesame Street together on spring break!  I love how you are crossing your legs! lol

15.  You are learning your letter sounds!  You have really taken to your fridge phonics toy that sticks to our refrigerator, and you have started repeating letters and there sounds!   A says "ah!"

16.  You are a runner!  You run everywhere you go.  You hardly ever walk! lol

You love running up and down the ramp in the church basement! lol

17.  You have suddenly decided that you DO NOT like going to the doctor anymore!  Hopefully this is just a phase! ;)

18.  You love to watch music videos!  You are really into Sesame Street videos that we found on YouTube!  You like to dance along!

19.  You can officially climb on and off of the couch without any help!  Needless to say, you are up and down constantly! lol

20.  You are getting a big-boy room makeover this summer! After changing the theme 20 times, we've started on it a little bit.  Here's a sneak peak... 

21.  You are going to be a big brother in less than 2 weeks!!!  We are hoping for a smooth transition into big-brotherhood for you! :)  We have no doubt that you are going to be a super big brother!  We are so excited for Liam to have such a special person to look up to!

 

Gotta love the big brother t-shirts!! :)

Happy 21 months Bubby!  There is always so much to celebrate about you each month!  You are such a special and fun little boy!!  No matter how old you get, you'll always be our "baby!"  We love you to the moon and back a million times!

Love,
Momma and Daddy
