Life of Connor

Hi again.

I bet you're wondering what I've been up to. Well, I've been doing lots.

I have all these new toys from Christmas. I have puzzles and a garage and a steering wheel and a drum and a truck . I'm trying to play with them all. It takes time, you know. I also have new books and stuffed bunnies. It's a chore, I tell ya. But I'm up for it.

Because I'm getting bigger, I'm trying to do different things. I just figured out how to kick a ball really far. I love watching things roll. When I kick my ball, I can keep making it roll until I want it to stop or I kick it under something and Daddy has to come and get it for me. I haven't lost one yet, so I'm happy about that. But, I keep kicking it under my rocking chair, then I can't get it out.

Mama and Daddy call it "soccer" when I'm kicking balls to make them roll. I don't know quite what soccer is, but Daddy keeps saying nil-nil when I'm playing, whatever that means. Mama always tells him to stop it, so that must not be nice.

Right now, I'm trying to learn colors. I can say some of their names, like orange, purple and blue. But, I'm still trying to figure out which one is which. It's hard, ya know. Mama will ask me for an orange crayon and I'll look at some and I swear the ones Mama and Daddy call orange and red look like each other and that one they call yellow does, too.

My dump truck is a lot of fun, too. I can put pretty much anything in it, fill it up, then dump it all out and watch it go. That's a lot of fun. It even makes noises when I roll it and has a steering wheel on top so I can drive it. I don't know how to tell you how cool I think it is.

The neatest thing right now, though, has to be my puzzles. I have one with cars and a fire truck and all sorts of things on it and another that has animals. I can do them all by myself. I could do it a week after I got them. Sometimes, I try to put a piece in upside down, but then I get it figured out and they make the noise they're supposed to make when my pieces go in the right way. They're really cool. I told Daddy to put a video of me playing with one on here.

I'm also enjoying music more and more. Now, I drum in a pattern and I really enjoy singing. I like songs. Music has always been good. I like all kinds, except what Daddy listens to. He likes it and that's OK. But, I don't like "hair bands." Mama seems to agree with me. But, I like singing and nursery rhymes and drumming. Yay for music!

More soon. Thanks for stopping by.
