"I Only Date Models"
The photos in this post aren't very good quality as they were all taken with my iPhone...Had to post them though! :)I have fallen behind on this blog and what Conor has been up to, so get ready for some serious updating! He is now 14 1/2 months old and the most active person I know. He loves anything to do with balls, balloons and golf clubs. He will carry any of the three at any point around the house. He has quite an arm and is getting deadly accurate when throwing a ball (Ask Stacy, our babysitter about ball right between the eyes) :) He loves to pound on the piano, the real piano or his own little toy piano. He has a little chair in the living room that he can get in on his own and I often find him in it, sippy cup in one hand and a snack in the other. He also LOVES books, which of course, I LOVE. His favorite at the moment is "The Wheels on the Bus", probably because you can't help but sing it. "Goodnight Pookie" and "The Very Hungry Catapillar" are also on the favorites list right now. He is also really good at doing the motions to "Pat a Cake" and "The Itsy Bitsy Spider", which is really stinkin' cute. Another favorite pasttime is anything to do with water play. We take him to the splash pad at the Tempe Marketplace, or the pool at the club. Last time we went swimming he started dunking his own face in the water. The boy is fearless. He is definately showing us that he is ALL boy... After hearing his dad's stories of boy-dom I'm getting a little nervous... :)
As far as eating habits, we've been trying to get the kid to gain weight, per doctor's instructions, and it seems like he is eating all the time and not gaining a pound! (How would that be, right???) He loves, loves, loves pizza and chicken strips, and he will eat almost anything else as long as it's accompanied by ketchup. Mac and cheese is becoming another quick favorite, he is his father's child, after all. He is still taking 2 naps a day (yippee!). We tried the 1 nap thing but it was not working very well. Still not sleeping all night either, but we are working on that. Honestly, I'm so used to it now that I won't know what to do if he actually were to sleep through the night... :)
He is still talking up a storm. He can say mama, dada, ketchup, ball, balloon, Conor, pizza, water, juice, and more that I can't think of now. It's nice to have him be able to tell me what he wants now. He can blow kisses, and can also give kisses and hugs when asked. He is such a cuddler still, which I love. Part of his bedtime routine includes about 30 minutes of TV watching with Chris and I and this has become one of my favorite times of the day. He is so sweet sitting, eating a little bedtime snack and cuddling, watching usually "The Upside Down Show" with sleepy eyes. Such a sweet boy... :)
He is growing up much too fast. I still haven't gotten his 1 year old pictures done, if I don't soon he'll be 2 before I get to it. Hoping to get them done soon, as posted as soon as I get them!
