11 months

Connor is 11 months old and we are quickly approaching his first birthday.  He is changing and growing everyday.  Each day I see more and more signs of a little boy.  He continues to be my sweet little guy and loves being around us.  Connor gives me multiple hugs daily and loves to snuggle up with me right before he goes down for bed or a nap.  Although this little guy is sweet as can be, he is starting to develop a little attitude when he doesn't get something he wants or when someone takes a toy away from him.

Connor loves singing and will occasionally dance when he hears music.  I often think he is trying to sing when he hears music because we hear many times "uhhhhhuhhhhuhhhhhh" from him when we sing. He enjoys reading and his favorite book undoubtedly is "How Big."  He gets so anxious as we turn each page and throws a little fit when the book is done.  Connor enjoys throwing balls, spinning the wheels on his truck, or taking a steering wheel and turning it.  He loves swinging!  One of Connor's favorite places to play seems to be on our couch.  He loves to get up there and fall on all the pillows- he will laugh and laugh at this!  He will hold a phone up to his hear and a brush up to his head.  Last week I caught Connor trying to put one of Elli's headbands on- not one of our prouder moments.

Connor continues to take 2 naps a day and goes to bed around 7:30 at night.  He is a pretty good sleeper and will usually sleep until 6:30 or 7:15.  We are in the process of taking away his bottles and this is proving to be a lot tougher than I thought it'd be.  Turns out, Connor really likes his bottles.  It doesn't help the fact that he has spent the last couple of days with some sort of virus and is possibly getting his first tooth.  We are down to 1 bottle a day- before bed at night and there is no turning back!

Connor is babbling away and we love hearing him 'talk.' He is walking with his walking toys and stands all the time!  He is a quick crawler and will jet up the stairs whenever he sees open opportunities.  I go back and forth on whether I think he will walk by his first birthday- we will see!!

Our photo shoot this month was a very quick one.  Connor does not sit still for long!

We attempted a photo shoot in the morning, but as you can see that didn't work out.  Connor was hungry and wanted his breakfast!!

So we tried again after his afternoon nap and had some success....

The above picture is my favorite one of the whole photo shoot!  I took away the bear in the above pictures and gave him his dog.  He was searching for that bear in this picture.

Happy 11 months Bubby!!!!
