El Padrino

Connor's new nickname is "El Padrino" or the Godfather. Listening to this little guy "talk" is such a trip. He has a low, raspy edge, not too loud and definitely not understandable. It reminded us of the Animaniacs cartoon with the "Godfeather" a pigeon who sounded like Marlon Brando doing baby talk. Thing is with Connor, he only talks when you are not paying attention to him. If you look at him, he stops and stares at you with his cute half smile. The minute you look away, he'll start chatting it up. In other Connor news, we haven't figured out where this child's genes come from. He is almost too big for his swing. And the swing doesn't swing much once he's in it. He is on the tallest setting on his Exersaucer. He wears 18 months onesies and 12 month shorts. Did I mention that he is only going to be five months next week?? Ian was a big kid, but Connor is off the charts. Tonight he ate two bowls of oatmeal and wanted more after that. He is twice the size of babies several months older than he. Honestly, he is just so cute that none of that truly matters, but it is just so interesting.
