Connor Lately

Connor has been growing and changing so much lately. He is constantly learning new things and changing right in front of me. Its fun to watch the hard work of teaching him things pay off. Yet at the same time, it boggles my mind watching him become his own little person. He definitely has his likes and dislikes and isn't afraid to show it. He enjoys life and goes a million miles a minute. He is now talking so much. And repeats everything. Watch out what you say around him! He can say his abc's and count to 15. What really got me, is he is actually starting to understand numbers. We were out yesterday and I asked him how many dogs he saw and he said two. It blew me away that he actually got that concept. Go Connor! 

Connor is still obsessed with all things train. He likes to see them. If he hears one in the distance, he tells you. He talks about riding on them. He plays with them. He wants to watch them on tv. He is all about trains. Its kind of funny. I never knew trains would be such a big part of my life. I find myself pulling  off on side streets to watch passing trains or driving out of my way to see a train that is parked. But watching him get so excited about it makes it all worth it. 

My little boy. You bring more joy and lessons in patience to my life than I ever thought possible. Having you throw your little arms around me melts my heart. You wanting to hold my hand or wanting to be held by me makes my heart leap. I love you little boy...now stop growing up so fast.
