The Ending of Our August

i hate to admit how much of a slacker i've been with blogging... but it's a bit hard to hide. but i've been having an unusally productive day, so i'm getting all caught up! i'll be breaking it all down into small posts instead of one very very large post, so you'll have to take a look at the others too. 

Connor has been cracking me up lately.. if there is anything on the floor that he can fit inside, he WILL sit in it! he wasn't thrilled with me telling Caleb to grab the camera and take pictures of him inside this bucket, and to punish us for that, he refused to sit in it again. he would only climb out of it and glare at us. but i couldn't deny how cute he is, even if he is one stubborn child! 

Connor has been learning quite a few new words, and one of them is "baby". he loves to look through his baby book and point to the pictures and say "ba-bay". and sometimes he even calls other people baby haha. when we're lucky, we can get a "grandma" out of him, or a "mamma" or "dadda". he loves his books, and he loves seeing pictures of himself as a baby!

I have been dealing with ginormous messes lately, and it is partly due to the fact that he realized he is big enough to reach all the kitchen drawers, and can get out silverware and all other kitchen utensils all by himself! he also empties the dishwasher, which mommy doesn't particularly enjoy since everything ends up on the floor and dirty, and can get in the pantry all by himself too. this particular day i thought he was being so funny because he had gotten all the old walmart bags that i really should recycle, and scattered them around, then was swatting them with the potato masher! it was like alittle game to him! such a smartie pants!
