The Lindvall Family: 20 months

I am once again late on posting a monthly update on Connor. Connor turned 20 months old on the 16th (in my defense, I didn't even realize he had turned 20 months until the 19th- oops).

Connor continues to love everything that has to do with airplanes (I mean...absolutely loves planes). He is always looking for planes in the sky when we go outside and is the first to point them out! He loves being outside and it's usually a struggle to get him to come back inside. Connor loves trucks and cars. He especially loves the little cozy coupe cars that he can drive and it often gets him in trouble as he doesn't share well with them!

Lately, Connor has been a little stinker when it comes to bedtime. We continue to put him to bed around 7:30 or 8:00, but for the past few weeks he's been lying awake in bed until around 9:00 or 9:30. Ugh! He will then sleep in until around 8:00 or 8:30 (sometimes later)....be fussy in the morning and then rearing to go after naps. This staying up late and sleeping in has become a cycle for him. I'm going to try and start putting him down earlier for a nap in hopes he'll fall asleep earlier at night. Speaking of sleeping, yesterday we were all ready to move him to his toddler bed, but then found out the rails we bought for his crib wouldn't work (booo.....maybe it was a sign that we shouldn't move him to a bigger bed yet....we'll see)!!

Just like big sis, Connor loves dressing up. He only has one costume, spiderman, but he loves putting it on. Today Elliana put on her 'snow white' dress and he kept saying "co-cume" (aka 'costume'). He loves wearing his sunglasses and will keep a hat on outside for a good amount of time. This boy has an obsession with shoes and is pretty picky about what shoes he wears.

Last week Connor had his follow-up cardiology appointment at Children's Hospital. The appointment was during naptime and I took both kids with me! The appointment went great and Connor couldn't have been better (Elli too). His EKG was normal and the doctors are hopeful that the hole is closing. In fact, we don't have to go back for quite awhile. They will do another echocardiogram and if the hole is closed we will be done with the cardiologist for good! If not, we'll continue follow-up visits.
