A Balancing Act

Not the greatest picture, I know it. But look Ma, no hands! Connor is attempting to stand and balance in one place. He does pretty well until it becomes a "catch me!" game. No steps yet, but he moves from place to place standing and holding on as much as possible.

His latest favorite game is standing up in the bathtub-one of those games that capitalize on a parent's fear and anxiety. So bathtub time is basically a barrage of "Connor, sit down." "Cooonnooor, sit please" (more insistently) "Connor, sit down now" until I finally give up and just take him out of the tub because I cannot stand repeating myself for selectively deaf ears. He does know what sit down means, he actually sits down when I say it, watching me carefully the entire time with a big fat smile. Once that bottom hits water, he pops back up and starts the game over again. Lovely.

Our newest favorite is Connor sitting in his booster at dinner (strapped in so I don't have to say "sit down, Connor".....then it becomes the "sit down, Ian" game, which is just as fun, let me tell you). He shakes his head no for us while he is eating. That's it. It is very amusing even though it probably sounds quite lame in writing.

Well, here's Connor either protesting that he didn't get enough dinner or maybe there is a Cheerio in his eye (Ian's catch phrase for having something in your eye). You just never know what these boys will come up with next! Love to the peeps!
