Connor is 1

We celebrated Connor's birthday on Labor Day with a brunch for family and friends. He had a great time and loved trying cake for the first time.As you can see from the picture, Connor is walking full time and never stops.  Just like the other two he is a very active boy and never sits still.  He hates having his diaper changed and makes it near impossible.  On the other hand, he loves bath time.  If you aren't quick enough the minute he enters the bathroom he darts for the tub and will climb into it in about a second if you aren't careful.  
Connor has a whopping 8 teeth and loves to eat.  Vegetables aren't his first choice but if that is all you put down he will eat a few.  He loves pasta, fruit, chicken, yogurt, you name it.  We are slowly trying to switch from the bottle to the sippy cup, my that is a slow process.  Boy loves milk in a bottle!!
I can't believe I can write this, but we have had no ear infections, actually other than a few 24 hour viruses this kid is super healthy.  Such a welcome change to Luke who started with ear infections at 5 months and had 2 sets of tubes.
We are still trying to work on the sleep issue, and hired a consultant to help us get him sleeping though the night.  I just have to go cold turkey on nursing over night, something I have been reluctant to do since for that week at least we will be getting zero sleep.
Connor's favorite toy is still balls, and that is pretty much the only word he says.  We joke that he also says "I did it" because whatever he is babbling sounds exactly like that.  It is super funny.  We love this little munchkin (and I do mean little, measures in at the 1st percentile for height) and are so thankful he is ours!!
