The Joy of Never Sitting Still


So this week Connor realized that he loves to stand and wants to stand all the time. Just a few weeks ago he discovered he could move around on his tummy, but now that's boring. Whenever Jeremy spends a few minutes with him during the day they work on standing and now Connor thinks if he's spending time with daddy he has to be standing and will complain until Jeremy helps him stand up. They also walk around the house together - Connor likes to take big steps while holding onto our hands :) All this standing and practice walking makes me wonder if he'll ever crawl or skip it altogether. He can move slightly forward while on his tummy, but it takes a lot of effort. And although he's been up on all fours very briefly, he doesn't seem to enjoy it yet.

We also spent some time trying out his rocking chair:Although he doesn't seem to enjoy rocking too much, he loves to check out everything on it
Until he realizes he might be able to touch the camera . . .

I love the tongue sticking out, that means maximum effort :)

We also had a playdate with Caleb and Judah, but I forgot to take pictures. But it was fun, Connor loves watching the older boys! And we started eating cheerios, which Connor loves, I think he feels like a big boy while eating them. And he's learned how to feed himself puffs and cheerios, which is totally great for me! So nothing too exciting this week but I'm continually amazed at how much Connor learns each week and how excited he is to do each new thing.
