Baby in constant motion is probably the best way to describe this stage. He is on the go and happy about it. He is learning new things all the time and most often with a smile on his face . . .though of course there have been a few things learned with tears as well.
It certainly is fun watching them grow and go!
The dishwasher is a favorite hangout lately . . .
This started out as a happy thing . . .
. . .but this looks more like a "I'm really losing patience with this now mom" kind of smile/cry!
As you can see he is constantly climbing up against things and enjoying the new views it gives him!
- has four teeth - three on the bottom and one (funny!!) on the top. (see pictures below for more on that)
- is climbing up all over stuff and pulls himself up super easy.
- is constantly figuring out his balance and what he can climb up against and what will not support him and what just seems "not so safe".
- is able to get down from what he has climbed up against fairly gracefully (most of the time)
- has learned that going down the stairs on your own is not very safe. He seems to get it now and seems to know to avoid that particular danger.
- enjoys eating now - his favorites are yogurt and cereal (pablum) and cheerios. He likes some fruits and veggies but still has a very strong look of displeasure at others!
- gets a lot of loving from Karter - sometimes this is great, other times it is just rather annoying.
- sleeps decently during the day - better at home than on the go now. Sleeping on the go doesn't work quite as good b/c he wakes up pretty easy. I would say he is a very light sleeper and I always do my best tiptoeing when entering/exiting the room where he sleeps.
- knows what he wants and isn't afraid to show a little temper if he has it taken away from him.
- doesn't love his exersaucer and jolly jumper so much any more. He would rather be on the go and have his freedom.
- loves people from a distance -- but if they get too close and seem like they might take him away from what is familiar, he will get a little sad look and look scared. This is not the case with everyone, but the little pout makes it's appearance every now and then.
- seems to love home and what is familiar.
- plays really well with toys, books, or whatever happens to be lying around.
- loves pens and pencils.
- loves the bath and if we have time it is fun to just let him enjoy it!
- has ever growing hair! I have had to cut parts of it by his ears already and he can be pretty fuzzy sometimes! It is not as blond as Kade and Karter were though . . .
He doesn't mind the grass at all. On the warmer days, he is quite happy to be outside exploring.
This is quite the smile eh?!!
Mom is definitely his favorite person . . .with dad as a close second.
Enjoying a happy moment with Kevin.
Kevin is always bemoaning the fact that Konnor doesn't like him at all.
Now for more on the teeth. He has just one lonely tooth on the top and it is not one of the two middle ones. It is the fang one. I had been thinking to myself that this onesie wouldn't really work for most kids b/c it is a 12 months size and says "Hockey Player in Training - Look, No Teeth"
I think it actually couldn't work any more perfect than it does right now. His teeth actually kind of resemble some hockey players who have random teeth here and there:)
So proud of himself.
Being goofy!
Enjoying a sunny day outside.
Love this boy!
