Connor turns 2!

tomorrow at 7:49 p.m! I cant believe that it is time for his second birthday! If the rest of his childhood is like this, I cant wait because every month gets better and better! Dont get me wrong, we are dealing with the usual terrible twos stuff but all of the fun stuff overshadows that completely. When I used to hear people talk about their toddlers at this age, most of the time it didnt sound like much fun. Maybe my child is just better behaved than most, but it really hasnt been that bad. Do I sound like a proud Mom or what?! I guess everyone wants to brag on their child. But Connor is really such a sweetheart and will tell me he loves me just because. His manners are exceptional for a 2 year old. He says, "please", "thank you", "sorry", and even started saying "your welcome" the other day. I use my manners whenever he I talk to him and I guess it caught on! Now of course he has the days when he says, "its mine", or "stop it Mommy" and even though it makes me cringe sometimes, it is so darn cute! Yesterday in Target he was saying that he wanted "chocolate milk" and of course I told him that I didnt have any, well we turned the corner and as we stopped in front of a lady he said, "Its MY CHOCOLATE MILK!" and pointed his finger at her. I was mortified! I of course made him apologize, but the lady thought it was hysterical. Me- not so much. Actually as we turned the corner I did smile a bit wondering where he comes up with this stuff. His vocabulary is growing more and more every day. He is now saying 4 and 5 word sentences. The other day Connor said, "Can I watch Pipey in a minute, Dada?" Actually that is way more than 5 words! He amazes me sometimes with his memory too. He did go upstairs last night and look for the gingerbread cookie! He opened up the jewelry box and say, "Where did the cookie go?" It was hysterical! Brad said he is just like a dog, hiding his bone. Ha!

Connor is such a skinny little boy and is still wearing 18 months pants. I bought him some more pants the other day from Target and the waist was falling down so bad I had to take them back. He is just not an eater at all. Dont you wish you didnt have the urge to eat, I know I do! Ha! Being so active, I guess it makes sense that he would be a little guy. He is pretty tall though and Brad and I are hoping that he will not take after us in this department!

Since tomorrow is the actual "birth" day and we have already had a party, we are planning on taking him to Chuck E Cheese's tomorrow after work. We did this last year and had a great time! I am sure I will have some pics to share! Here is a look back on the last year with our Mr. Connor...
