Learning Something New Every Day

I am finally sitting down in front of a computer to create a blog for my soon-to-be two year old.  My how the past 21 months have flown by.  Connor continues to be a blessing to us.  It is hard to remember life without him.  His vocabulary tripled over the Christmas holiday at my parents' house.  Connor spent all of his time playing with his older cousins.  He says things and Steve and I just giggle, wondering where he picked it up.  My favorite has to be "Look at that."  He will find something interesting or will build something with his blocks and with such enthusiasm yell at Steve or myself to "Look at that!"  He has also taken to the word "funny."  When something makes him laugh, he has to follow up with "funny..." which of course makes Steve and I giggle which causes Connor to laugh even harder.  It often times becomes a laughter chain. 

Connor's attention span has really grown as well.  He has fallen in love with the show "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse."  We would have it on in the background while we were getting ready, and Connor would glance at the TV every once in awhile and say "mouse."  Now he asks to watch "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse."  He has even started to sing along with the characters on the show.  It is hilarious to hear him raise his voice when he sings.  I think he got my talent (or lack of talent for that matter) when it comes to singing.

Connor learns something new every day.  He is so much fun, and we find ourselves rushing home from work every day just to spend as much time with him as possible.  Three more months and my little bugaboo will be two years old.  WOW!  And, not long after that, he will become a big brother.  Life just keeps getting better every day.
