14 months

Connor turned 14 months old a few weeks ago.  I can't believe how fast he is growing and how much he is changing daily!  His personality continues to develop!  Connor is a sweet, sweet boy, but tends to get feisty with his sister or if something gets taken away from him that he wants.  He loves to steal Elli's toys and run away with them...he thinks it's hilarious and she gets extremely mad....Elli usually tackles him to the ground to get her toy back.  He always wants to know where Elli is....I can't even put her in time would without him going and sitting beside her.  He is pretty generous with his hugs and kisses these days and they are always accepted.  

Connor is really into dancing and loves when the music is on.  I hope I can get a video of him dancing with his cast on because it is so funny....he bangs that cast on the ground so hard!  He loves when we sing songs and is even becoming more interested in reading....sometimes.  His favorite book is "Mr. Brown Can Moo."  This used to be a favorite of Elli's when she was younger.  

Connor is pretty much down to 1 nap a day.  It's been a couple weeks since I have actually put him down for a morning nap.  He starts to get very sleepy around 11:00, but usually makes it through lunch just fine.  He takes a 2 to 3 hour afternoon nap and continues to go to bed around 7:30 or 8.  Lately, it has taken him awhile to fall asleep at night....he has been waking up anywhere from 7:30 to 8:30.  

Connor loves, loves playing outside and going for walks, which we have been doing multiple times a day.  We've definitely put some miles on the wagon...Elli is obsessed with all things scary and wants to see all the Halloween decorations multiple times a day.  He continues to love playing with balls, with his other toys, swinging, and climbinb.  He also loves having his shoes and socks on and will throw a mini fit when I take them off.

Connor understands many, many things these days.  Some new things he is occasionally saying: ball (he loves picking out balls in books), book, and baby (sounds like baba).  He still is signing: more, milk, please, and occasionally eat.  He also does a lot of pointing and grunting to get his point acrossed.      

Connor has also taken a liking to girls.  On Monday, we watched Ansley all day and Connor could not keep his hands off of her.  Big boy found himself a girlfriend.  Connor kept rubbing her back over and over again.  It was love at first sight!  

I love having a boy, but I especially love having this one.....
