13 Months Old

I never knew how much work being a mommy was going to be, but Connor sure has tested our abilities lately!  The sweet boy who could do no wrong has now broken out of his shell.  Last week we had an incident with Connor biting the teacher at school.  When she was telling me the story, I was soooo embarrassed!!!  Then our vampire child struck again this weekend, this time he picked Matt.  Matt started to pretend to cry and I think Connor realized that it really hurt.  So far we have made it 5 days without another biting incident.

Somehow he managed to get a little black eye, who know what he was doing to get this...he's fearless!

This week was big for Connor because he moved to the ONES room.  The transition was a little rough, but he is starting to adjust.  He also gave up the paci during the day, he only gets it at night when he is sleeping (big accomplishment for someone who used to have it attached to him 24/7). 

Connor has also started walking a lot and he looks like a little Frankenstein when he does.  Needless to say, I don't feel like I sit down very much anymore.  He's also very good at slamming doors, throwing his toys in the trash can, and pulling all the clothes out of the laundry basket. 

Practicing with the door...one of these days I know he is going to get his fingers smashed.
