23 months

I can't believe we've hit the 23 month mark!  Less than a month and our big boy will be 2!!

In the past month, Connor has successfully been sleeping in his big boy toddler bed.  He's done great in there and really hasn't had any trouble adjusting to the new bed.  In fact, in the last month post he was having trouble falling asleep (he was crying for a few minutes before bed), but he hasn't done that in weeks.  He still likes to be rocked and sang to before bed....he willingly gets down and climbs into bed on his own!  He's still a good sleeper and usually wakes up between 8:00 and 8:45.  Bedtime is around 8:00 at night.  He still takes about a 2 hour nap each day.  This past Saturday was his first full day without a nap and he did surprisingly well (however, we won't be stopping his nap anytime soon)!!

Connor has started to sing (like real singing) this past month and it is. oh. so. sweet!!  Skidamarink is currently his favorite song!  He is talking up a storm these days....using anywhere from 1 word to 4 word phrases to communicate with us!

Connor is so funny and is constantly doing things to make us laugh!  We love his sweet personality.  When he asks questions he quints his eyes and cocks his eyes.  If you ask him what his name is, he'll tell you it's "bubby".  He knows his colors, most animal names, and this week we've started to work on counting....he's up to 4 :)  Connor has shortened the names of people this month....Papa is now Pop, Nana is now Nan, Sissy is now Elli, Mommy is now Mom, and well.... Daddio is still Daddio (not sure why he calls Scott Daddio, but he always has).

Potty training is going pretty well.  No real big change since last month.  The other day I had decided that he was done with pull ups for good and we'd move on to big boy underwear.  That quickly changed after I cleaned up....well...I won't go into details...the pull up got put back on within seconds.  So instead, now I'm just taking him to the bathroom every so often and he rarely has accidents in the pull ups!  We're pretty proud of him!!

He's such a sweet boy and is almost always very generous with his hugs and kisses!  Happy 23 months, big boy!
