Dear Conor,
You are growing up! You just turned 2.25 years old and I can't believe all that you can do. Your vocabulary and love for learning is amazing...here is where you are at:
* can sing ABCs and can identify individual letters out of order
* can count to fourteen independently and recognize numbers out of order 1-10
* Can sing "Ring-a-round the Rosie" "Twinkle Twinkle" "Rock-a-bye Baby" "ABC"
* You know your colors and have started learning which primary colors make secondary colors.
* You can spell your name, Daddy (Dadddy), and can recognize Mommy, Colin & Hunter when spelt for you.
* You know your address ("I wive on gawwison oaks") thought its not very clear
* You know what the traffic light colors are and what the colors mean
* You have started "reading" books.....you are able to recite them after hearing them or even before
* You know all visible body parts and are starting to understand differences between girls and boys
* You love to play learning games - we have started matching same items and you often bring me two things and ask "same?" and get excited when I see they are the same.
* You can put a button through a button hole on a felt board
* You have started learning the names of our individual fingers
* You have started identifying the sex of a person when you speak. "I see HIM" when looking at a male and "I love HER" when talking about a female.
Conorisms:
* Baby Do-Ro has been replaced with Talwin
* Bibits (Mickey) has been replaced with Mickey Mouse
* Bedopedoop is still what you call your dinosaurs but you are now able to say dinosaur when you want to
* ahhhh......is still what you use for the word drink (though you can say water, milk, juice)
* wawa - water
* tames - games
* Hear dat - "do you hear that?" usually said when you hear an airplane or Colin crying
* I need it - a recent development (one we don't like)
Potty Training
You are a funny little character. You know when you have gone to the bathroom and instead of saying you did you walk up to Daddy or I and say "no pee" or "no poop" and we instantly know you need to be changed! You have used the potty several times and sometimes after several hours your diaper is dry but at other times it will be heavily soaked within an hour so its clear you are not quite ready yet!
BIG brother
You continue to be an amazing big brother. You are the best diaper changing partner there is. Always ready to grab a diaper, wipes, and the "butt stick" for Mommy or Daddy. You often try to share your toys with Colin and your ears are always ready to pick up his cry (sometimes before we do). You love to point him out to people ("dat Talwin" is what you say) and you always involve him in your play in some way, shape or form. Sometimes you have to be reminded that he is a baby and that you have to be gentle with him and approach him slowly but overall you are great with him. You always have to kiss him goodnight and you have recently started saying "I love you Talwin" when you go to bed (or I love him). He is very lucky to have you Conor!
BIG CHANGES
We have signed you up for preschool! You start this September and we are very excited and nervous. Its just a few hours a few days a week but we know you are ready to spread your wings just a bit!

Nineteen Months
Dear Conor,
You continue to be the focus of every minute of every day in our lives. We have tried in the last month to give you as much of us as we could because of all the changes that were coming your way. Since I last wrote about your progress we have moved out of the house that truly became a home the day we brought you home to stay. It was a difficult day because that little house was the place where you took your first steps, said your first words, and where we learned to be parents. We left our driveway for the last time on July 19, 2013 at 8:45am....it was bittersweet because the new owners were already there so there was no last photo of us in front of the house and our last image of the home had their car in the driveway - in a way it already felt like it was long gone.
The week prior was incredibly busy for us and, of course, it was a week that you started saying even more new words and I found it challenging to keep up with you. Ice, bowl, cup, bear, box, okay, pee, elbow, and knee I think were the new words for you in just a few days. You have such wonderful friends - they came over to play with you on both Monday and Tuesday so that Mommy could focus on packing. Monday night was your last night in your room because Tuesday morning Mommy drove your crib to Grandpa's house and that night you slept in Uncle Justin's room. I know this transition time will be a challenge for you but just know that Mommy and Daddy are here for you and we are doing everything we can to help ease the stress and strain on you.
So, before the big move we spent the weekend on the Cape because Auntie Cathlin was getting married! You attended the rehearsal but we made the decision that you would skip dinner because you were getting tired after the long drive down and we didn't want to start you off the next day with a bad attitude. SAturday you spent the day with Daddy while Mommy got ready with the girls. You came to the wedding (and you were pretty good too) before getting dropped off with Auntie Ana for your first babysitting at night. You have been watched for short periods of time during the day by a few people but this was going to be a lot different and Mommy was nervous! But Auntie sent Mommy these pictures to show what a good boy you were being!
Auntie Ana did a great job with you and I am so thankful that we had her because I couldn't imagine having left you for the first time at night with anyone else. You even went to bed for the first time without any milk and you did great!
This month you have also sprouted lots of new teeth! You now have 4 bottom fronts, two top fronts, and one chewing tooth on each side both top and bottom coming through. You have been such a champ through all this and I'm hoping that with these new teeth you will start to expand your food interests!
You are now able to blow on hot foods, you picked blueberries for the first time, you identify secondary body parts (chin, neck, chest, elbow, leg), you know which grandparents we are talking to you about and you confirm this by talking about things related to them (boat, bobo, dog), time-outs are effective with you now and you sit for them 99% of the time, you still struggle with teeth brushing but we are working on that. Lastly, you are able to express choices and wants with words and gestures.
We are constantly surprised by you little man and I can't wait to see what the next month brings (and its time for some new professional pictures!).
xoxo
Mommy
PS. new words this month are: Pee, ice, rug, Carter, Braden, train, blueberry, rice, bike, stroller, bus, bag, alligator, step, jump, bowl, plate.

Week 22 and Words
Dear Conor and Apple,
Conor you are growing and growing and growing! Daddy and I talked and its time to get another set of pictures done because you have changed so much. You now have seven teeth and there are three more popping through and one more showing its ugly little white mountain head! Your vocabulary continues to grow and grow! You now say PLEASE, Muffin, more, book, read, rice, truck, knee, bubble, Sarah and boat.
You have also developed a HUGE attachment to mom's old cabbage patch kid Clinton. He has sat on your shelf since the day you came home from the hospital. In the last two weeks you have taken notice of him and made requests to hold him and kiss him and that progressed to sleeping with him. Now you are inseparable and he comes downstairs with you in the morning and goes back upstairs with you at night. He sits with us when we nurse for bed and you seek him out several times a day.
Sleep has been coming much easier. You now have a set bedtime that Daddy and I work hard to have you stick to. At 5:45 we start getting ready for bed with jammies, tooth brushing, and stories. I take you upstairs no later than 6:15, we nurse for less than 10 minutes and then I put you in your crib and you play with Clinton for a few minutes until you go to sleep. Often times I have peeked in on you and you are sleeping with your head on Clinton or the two of you are in the same position.
The last few days you have also started napping in your crib which is a HUGE first! We started by having you nap on the bed in my office and then transitioned you to the crib. Its now been 4 days of crib naps and you have slept at least an hour each time.
Now - you have been growing so much its like you are getting ready to be a BIG brother! And.....two weeks ago we found out that you are going to have a little BROTHER!!!! Yup, that's right! Mommy gets to be Mommy to TWO little boys! Mommy and Daddy are very excited and we can't wait to see how the two of you are different and how you are alike.
So, now its time to pick a name for your little brother...and its going to be a lot harder this time around because it wasn't even easy to come up with your name :)!
Mommy is feeling pretty good but your little brother is very active and doesn't let Mommy get a lot of rest during the day or at night. But, we are half way there and summer is going to be gone before we know it and then it will be almost time to meet your brother :)
You have also started identifying body parts and you love to do so on Mommy and Daddy. So far you know eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, chin, knees, feet, toes, hands, fingers, bum, penis, belly, belly button, chest, head and hair! Here you are pointing out Daddy's chin!
We love you little man!

Eighteen Months
Dear Conor,
Today you are 18 months old. When I was much younger (and not a mom) I used to wonder why mother's always told you their child's age in months. Well, now I know. Eighteen months is easier to swallow than saying you are 1 and 1/2. When someone is 1.5 they seem so grow up and so old but 18 months still seems so young.
Your vocabulary is growing by the day and you are developing clear likes and dislikes. You are also developing your own way to communicate your needs. For example - when we are nursing and there is no more milk you unlatch and say "no no no no" and sign "more milk." This mom smiles when you do this but it also makes her sad because there will come a time when there is no more milk for you but also because you are so grown up that you can tell me these things. But, it also makes me excited because as you grow and learn I get to see your little personality develop.
You are such a funny kid. You love to laugh and make others laugh. You are testing the waters the only way you know how: by trying and trying again until you are certain it is a permitted action or an impermissible one. Because of this you have been spending a bit of each day in "time-out." Your time-outs are very brief - lasting less than a minute and you are now aware that when you are sat down you must stay until Mommy tells you its ok to get up. You are such a good listener and you always give a hug after your time out. What do you go to time out for? (1) not leaving Hunter alone (2) throwing toys that are not balls (3) hitting (usually because we are playing and you get too excited and can't control it) (4) not listening when told to do something or not do something.
You LOVE LOVE LOVE Sesame Street and will ask for "E" and "La la" at various points in the day. You have also started to take a liking to "RoVer". These are your names for Ernie, Elmo, and Grover. You get so excited when each of their segments come on the show. You also seem to really like the show Mickey Mouse Club but that one is not watched very often (you do most of your TV watching on Netflicks).
This past month we took you to the drive-in. This is your second time at a drive-in but the first time you were very little. This time was quite different and I don't think we will be going back until you are able to sleep without nursing as there is not a lot of room in the backseat for the two of us because of your carseat.
We also went to the doctor's a few times this month and got to hear the new baby's heartbeat and learn whether you are going to have a little brother or a little sister (but that is a post for another time as this one is all about you!). You were so well behaved at the doctors office and you loved being able to touch the button on the heart monitor.
You still love books and your current favorites are SPOT, Green Hat Blue Hat, Organic Baby's First Words, and the Crayola books you got for your birthday from Braden. You ask to be read these books several times a day.
Every day is a new adventure with you Conor and we can't wait to journey with you and see what life brings in the next 18 months!

Week 18, a graduation, and words
Dear Apple,
You are so different from your big brother. You don't love sweets (whereas he craved them); you move on a regular and consistent basis (he never did); and you need to be fed too much (Conor didn't care when I ate). If your in womb behavior is any indication of your behavior on the outside you are going to be nothing like Conor!
This week Auntie D graduated high school. We had intended to drive down there Friday night after I got out of work but your brother got sick and we ended up having to stay home. We missed seeing her walk across the stage but thankfully Auntie C took a video so we got to watch that. The good news is that I was able to arrange our schedule so that we will head down for her party this coming weekend instead.
Mommy and Daddy are slowly starting to think about your arrival. We aren't quite 1/2 way there yet but we have started thinking about what life will be like with you in tow and we are both excited!
xoxo
Mommy
-------------------
Dear Conor,
You are growing up. Your vocabulary is improving by the day and this week you have amazed me with some new words. "fresh" "yes" "please" "grass" "tree" these are added to your already big list of words: mamma, dadda, hunter, no, beep, read, beans, more, ball, bee, baby, auntie, elmo, hi, weeeee, bird, up, duck, dog, bubble, ernie, nemo and sarah. You also tend to call grandmas and grandpas all "bampas".
It is so much fun to watch you communicate! You make a few animal sounds and you also communicate with sign language for "more" and "milk".
You also love touching my belly, giving it kisses, and blowing raspberries on it. I am sure your little sibling appreciates the noises you make for them! I know that is make Daddy and I laugh every time and also think you are super sweet. You are a caring little man and I can't wait to see how you do when the baby is really here!

Happy Eleven Months!
Dear Conor,
This post is long overdue but thankfully it has been written for quite some time. You continue to amaze us each month with all the new skills that you learn and the changes that we see in you whether they are big or small.
You continue to be a little peanut in height but you make up for it in your BIG personality.
What does an 11 month old like to do you ask?
(1) empty the cabinet of all cooking utensils and carry them from room to room so that it is not uncommon to find the soup ladle in the bathroom.
(2) find anything and everything you can pull up on so that you can toddle from spot to spot.
(3) drool - you apparently are getting ready to cut teeth because your little lips are always wet and every once in a while we catch you drooling.....not something you do regularly.
(4) tease Hunter, touch Hunter, throw things at Hunter, pull on Hunter's blanket, share your toys with Hunter, yell at Hunter and do anything and everything you can do to be a part of Hunter's world including feeding him 1/2 your food.
(5) pushes the laundry baket down the hallway while throwing the laudnry on the floor
(6) destroy your book shelf until you found just the right one and then you drag it to either Daddy or Mommy to read.
(7) love wagon rides
Everyday I look at you in wonder and ask myself "where did my baby go?" Conor you are still not a champion eater. You prefer mom milk to solid foods but you have started LOVING waffles. We bought mini waffles and you get at least one each morning. You also LOVE frozen yogurt drops. I take your yogurt and drop it onto wax paper and freeze it - these are yummy and you could eat the entire container if I let you. You also like ricecakes (we buy baby one that are made with carrot and/or apple juice) and you love puffs and apples. You have also started eating the pouches again but those are still hit or miss.
Happy 11 months baby boy!

Everyday I look at you in wonder and ask myself "where did my baby go?" Conor you are still not a champion eater. You prefer mom milk to solid foods but you have started LOVING waffles. We bought mini waffles and you get at least one each morning. You also LOVE frozen yogurt drops. I take your yogurt and drop it onto wax paper and freeze it - these are yummy and you could eat the entire container if I let you. You also like ricecakes (we buy baby one that are made with carrot and/or apple juice) and you love puffs and apples. You have also started eating the pouches again but those are still hit or miss.
Happy 11 months baby boy!
xoxo
Mommy
