* 22 Terrific Months *

That's right, Connor James is 22 months old, and by the end of the week, little Liam Andrew will be one month old!  This month has absolutely flown by!  My precious baby boy is now a big brother and a energetic toddler!  So, here are 22 things we want to remember out you, Connor, our perfect 22 month old! :)

Of course, it's only appropriate to start this post with a baby flashback photo:

You're about 3 weeks old in this picture. You were trying to lift your little head up! :)

1.  You are now a big brother! :)

We welcomed your little brother, Liam, to our family on April 26th :)

You wear your big brother shirt all the time, just to celebrate!!

2.  You came to visit Momma and Liam in the hospital!  We were so excited to see you!  It was so hard for Momma to be away from you for two whole nights!

Oh how I missed my sweet Bubby!

3.  You don't pay much attention to Liam yet.  You are far too busy. :)
4.  Occasionally if Liam is crying, you will bring him his paci!  It's very sweet!

5.  You are a sponge.  You learn so much each day, and it absolutely amazes us!
6.  You are now "reading" your books to us!
7.  You LOVE to read books.  Your favorite books this month are Goodnight Moon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and Goodnight Gorilla.
8.  You LOVE to be outside.  You just like to run, and run, and run!  Sometimes you stop to play with your basketball goal or to ride your power wheels four-wheeler!
9.  You love to watch the shows on PBS kids.  Your favorites are Sid the Science Kid, The Cat in the Hat Knows about That, Super Why, Dinosaur Train, Curious George, and of course Sesame Street.  They don't keep your attention for long, but you still love them! ;)
10.  We celebrated Momma's second Mother's day this month.  You and Liam, of course, make that day super special!

11.  You are really into the ipad!  You have learned so much from the apps!  You love Elmo's ABC's the most!
12.  You are such a great big brother!  You had to supervise Liam's first bath just to make sure everything went okay! ;)

Supervising!

13.  You are still a big time daddy's boy at the moment!

Sitting with daddy in church :)

14.  You are being a picky eater again! :(  You think granola bars are the best thing ever!
15.  You are entering the "terrible twos!"LOL  Sometimes, there is just no reasoning with a 22 month old! ;)
16.  You love your Yoda Mr. Potato Head!  You like to strip him down to just a potato, and then you go cook him on your stove! lol  Then you bring him back and put him together again! LOL  You keep us entertained!
17.  You LOVE your bathtub crayons.  You like to write your letters of the alphabet on the wall, and you like for daddy to write words so you can tell him the letters!
18.  You are almost impossible to get a picture of! ;)  Way to busy to sit still! hahaha

One of our first attempts at a picture of you and Liam together.  Pretty funny!!

19.  You must carry a blankie and paci with you everywhere you go.
20.  You like to steal Momma's phone and call people with her knowing! ;)
21.  I love how when you are waiting patiently for something, you say, "Here it go."
22. You are the sweetest "almost two year old" ever.  Your hugs and kisses are the best!

What a great 22 months it has been!  You are such a fun little bundle of energy that definitely keeps us on our toes!  We love you more than words could ever express!  We can't wait to see all that you have in store for us this month!  We love you to the moon and back a million times over!

Love,
Momma and Daddy
