Happy 23 Months Connor!

This is Connor's last official monthly post before he is a 2 year old!  I will still be putting updates about what he has been up to, but as you can see it keeps getting harder and harder to pose him for his chair pictures. :)  I usually have about a 2 second window between the time I set him in the chair and right before he escapes.

Here is what Connor has been up to this past month:

-Using the word "boo-tiful" (beautiful) a lot!  While I am getting ready he will come tell me "Momma boo-tiful", but he also tells Cole that the yard is "boo-tiful" and yesterday he told a teddy bear that it was "boo-tiful"

-He is really enjoying having his "big boy room" (even though it is not completed)  He spends a lot of his time playing in there now.  I am hoping that getting him use to the room will help with the transition to his new bed. He also told my brother yesterday that his "big boy bed bootiful" :)

-This past week he has started humming randomly throughout the day.  I love it!  He will just be walking by going humming his own little song.  Connor also has been singing a lot more of the songs he has learned while he plays.

- Making short sentences.  Some of his words may not be clear to everyone, but I definitely know what he is saying.

-Has a few of his favorite books memorized.  He has about 3 or 4 that he constantly wants us to read.  I think he has heard them so many times that he has associated the pictures with the words and has memorized each set of words with each picture.  It is so cute to hear him "read" the books to us.

-Has learned most of his shapes and colors.  Thanks to 2 of his favorite books and a few puzzles.

-Can sing every letter in the ABC's perfectly except for "V" which is also "B."  :)

-Usually sleeps about 11 to 12 hours at night.  We try to have him in bed around 7:30 or 8 and is usually up at 7:00 or 7:30.

-Has 16 teeth and I think we are working on his 2 year molars right now.

-Wants to be very independent and continues to test all the limits as he learns his boundaries.

-Still such a sweet and loving little boy.  His smile can brighten any ones day!

Less than a month and we will have a 2 year old!
