14-17 Months

Well, it'sbeen awhile. Connor is walking and running and climbing all over now. His sweet little baby curls are getting long enough in back to qualify as a mullet, so hopefully we'll be able to get his hair cut this weekend. He's not talking yet, but he is learning some signs, which helps him tell us what he wants (even if he doesn't always get it). He can say please, thank you, again and food. Those are the important ones, right? Sometimes he just runs through all of them if we don't let him have what he's asking for. One is bound to work, he figures. Here are some pictures from the past few months:

Connor likes to climb in our bed and snuggle down in the covers.

Ah, young padawan...

Connor has figured out how to get into the chair. It took him awhile to figure out how to get back down by going backwards. For awhile there he would just throw himself over the arm of the chair. It always worked - someone always caught him. (Well, he sort of ended up in the magazine rack once, but I almost had him, he didn't land that hard.)

He knows this is not allowed. But he likes to stand up.

Not that way!

Sometimes the only way to get Connor to hold still for a picture is to get him when he's strapped down in the high chair. We have tons of pictures about 10 seconds after he was doing something cute, but instead we have a picture of him heading for the camera, fingers out-stretched.

Playing with with a 20 Questions game. I think he stumps it every time.

Leave him alone for 5 minutes and he has banana and egg in his hair.





He likes to push laundry baskets around. Unfortunately he also likes to turn them over and stand on top, so usually these are off limits.

Nice hair!

Hope you enjoyed the pics. Have a great summer!
