Connor is 18 months!

Happy 18 Months to our sweet little boy! Connor continues to be the joy of our life! He is ALL BOY! He loves to be outside, loves to climb (anything really.... shelves, table, chairs, ladders, you name it!), and loves to run! He is certainly an active boy! He is filled with life, happiness, and laughter! He's turned into quite an entertainer... often dancing for us, making us laugh, showing us new tricks, etc. He uses a lot of baby sign language which helps us to communicate. He's saying a few words including Dada (his favorite word!), Mama, Papa, Gramma, Bubu (for Buddy and Bottle), Yeah, Doggy, Hi, Uh Oh, and Cracker. His receptive language amazes me! Auntie Mandy gave him a deck of flashcards and he can point to all of them accurately when asked which one is which. We're having fun teaching him animal sounds... his favorites are the sounds dogs, horses, and parrots make. Connor seems very social- he makes friends everywhere we go and waves to everyone we see (even other drivers when we're driving in town!). A big milestone that Connor has recently met (for the 2nd time!) is sleeping through the night. 6 of the 7 nights this past week, Connor has slept from 7:30pm to 6:30 am. WaaaHooo!! We're hoping this sticks... I suppose until he gets his next set of teeth. Speaking of teeth- Connor has 10 teeth so far. Connor is a good eater and even enjoys eating vegetables (carrots, green beans, and his favorite... peas)! Connor continues to love books and is often bringing us books to read. Between the two of us, we probably read more than 20 books a day (sometimes the same book 20 times)! He is still loving his slide and seems to enjoy playing with the broom and swiffer more than his other toys. Overall, Connor is turning into such a darling little guy. He brings us more joy than we could have every imagined. Happy 18 months Son!

Dada is Connor's favorite person in the world! Do you see any resemblance?
