He’s really developing into a fine gentleman and is so active I can barely keep up.   Here are some of his new tricks and favorite things:

Best Trick – Smiling (often just after farting because he’s my offspring)

Second Best Trick – Solid blocks of sleep at night

Favorite activity – Kicking his legs and swinging his arms at random.  This has a few downsides: 1) it often leads to him knocking out his own pacifier and getting upset and 2) Isabel gets mad at him when she is trying to give him hugs and kisses (aka smothering him) and his hits her.  Fortunately, she ‘uses her words’ and says “Connor, no hitting!” while pointing at him aggressively.

Favorite book – Raise Your Hand, How to see a whale, and The Rabbit Listens (or whatever else Isabel picks out)

Bedtime – 930 pm…also 7am and 1pm. 

Things that make him go to sleep: Car rides, walks in the park, Tom reading work emails out loud

Best facial feature: (tie) Chubby cheeks, cockeyed Tom-like smile, perfect ears

Favorite food – formula (blech)

Least favorite fashion look: Stuffed Sausage in newborn sized clothing

Favorite Fashion look: Showing off toned, muscular legs

Milestones:

First time in the pool – April 20th

First real life alligator sighting – April 2nd
