Happy Birthday Connor Michael Louis!
What a wonderful day!
It's been a wonderful year and we have had such a fabulous time getting to know you and welcoming you to our family. You are the perfect mixture of your dad and me. You have brightened all of our lives with your bright blue eyes and your killer smile. The only word that really describes your personality is MAGICAL. You are adventurous, outgoing, very social, independent, loving, affectionate, and talkative. You love to figure out how toys work, empty cupboards, climb stairs, take outlet covers out, splash in water, and explore outside. Just as much though, you love to be read to and you often pick out books by yourself to look at the pictures. You love to go for long walks outside and still love the swings at the park. You love swimming lessons and are usually one of the first children in the pool, even when it's too cold for Mommy. You seem to enjoy music, especially when Daddy sings the words to you. You like to dance and wiggle to certain tunes. You like to clap your hands and you love to wave (even to strangers at the store). You're learning new signs everyday. You already have mastered the signs for more, up, all done, telephone, and bye-bye. You often say "mama," "dada," "buh bye" (Bye-Bye) and "buh" (Buddy). You have become a very strong walker and have started to try to climb up and over things. Your favorite foods right now are carrots, bananas, oatmeal, applesauce, yogurt, pears, watermelon, sweet potatoes, peaches, nectarines, crackers, Cheerios, Kix, bread (any kind), and guacamole (not plain avocados). Your favorite books are "Cutie Pie," "Snuggle Puppy," and "Barnyard Dance." You enjoy playing Patty-Cake, Peek A Boo, and The Wheels on the Bus. You've become a good sleeper (what a change from 6 months ago!). You go to bed at 7:30pm and wake up around 6am and you take two naps a day. You seem to enjoy when you're home with Mommy, but you get very excited when you see your friends at daycare. You often walk right to them and give them hugs. They seem to adore you too... often saying "I love you Connor" when you wave bye-bye to them. Your daddy and I are very proud of you Connor. You grow and discover new things everyday. You have made our lives complete and you've helped to make us a family. We love you more than words can express! We are so excited to continue to watch you grow and learn new things.
Happy 1st Birthday Son!
