Connor

So this is a progression of pictures of a 'bad day' for Connor. He loves to suck his thumb with these animal head blankies - but they get SO STINKY so I have to wash them frequently. Here he is so happy to have found one in the dryer and pulls it out.

Despite it being wet, he decides to get a quick suck in while he can.


Oh NO, Mom put it in and shut the door!!!


Maybe I can pry it open and get it back!!

Nope, this is horrible. And now you would be hearing one of Connor's horrible screams that he so notoriously lets out when he is mad, angry, hurt, tired, has his feelings hurt etc... It is super high pitched and ear piercing. We all know to just cover our ears and let him go until he is done.
He has the worst temper of the three and definitely knows how to stand up for himself and get things done. He is mean (hits, yells, pushes) to Owen, and poor Owie just takes it (for the most part)!!! Occasionally Owen will get a dig in back, but he is pretty good about putting up with his baby antics!!!

It is so hard for us to believe our little Connor is 13 months old already!! Where does the time go? He is starting to have a little personality and we all get a kick out of him. He LOVES to suck his thumb, probably more than Ellie did. I am in for it, because I am having a HARD time getting El to stop. He has 4 different animal heads on a blanket. His favorite we call 'bear head'.
He loves his bed and his little glow worm. He gives it kisses and loves when I turn him on to put him to bed. He pulls himself up to standing at his crib and says 'nigh nigh' when he is tired. I think he lays up here perfectly happy for awhile before he lets me know he is awake. He is a LIGHT sleeper though, which makes it a little tough with 2 older siblings!!

He loves his momma and will excitedly come crawling up to me saying 'mama' when I pick him up at the gym nursery. Ellie took this picture of us, she loves to 'play' with the camera.

He is our first 'baby' to like books. Ellie LOVES to read now, but would never sit with me to read until at least 3. He will sit to listen to several books and loves to look through them himself. Don't mind the drool, he is a drool machine!!!

This is Connor and his buddy Grant playing balls together. Grant is one month older, but they have a good time together. Grant is Ava's (Ellie's good pal) little brother.

He loves to talk on the phone. He holds it up to his ear and jabbers away!! Where did he get that from??

He really likes his humidifier. Both the boys have one in their room and this brings endless excitement to all of them. He is getting a cool mist facial!!

He enjoys his milk. He eats OK, but sits and yells 'mmma mmma' for milk in his highchair.
I attempted to style his hair like Owen's this day, but it is too fine to deal with yet:)

The remote is something we fight over!! He screws everything up with all his button hitting!! He has a angry side to him and yells when we take this away. He throws himself down and cries.

He likes his tonka truck - as all boys do!!!
