Connor is 3!!

I cannot believe my baby boy is 3 (June 8)! He has turned into such a fun, silly little boy with so much personality (and attitude ;). It seems like just yesterday, he was the tiny bouncing baby that Mya is. I swear I still look at him at least once a day and think a. I still can't believe he is MINE and b. I can't believe what a little person he has become. He has his own thoughts, his own likes, and an amazing memory. He can hear or see something once and he'll remember it weeks later. It's crazy!

 

Life with a 3 year old Connor <3

- Goes through toy/movie phases all the time. He likes to keep up guessing what his favorite toy/game/movie will be this week.

- This week he is a huge Smurfs fan.

- Can't get enough of outdoor sports. He asks me or Pat to play baseball or golf at least 10 times a day.
- Loves mini golf and bowling.

- He is currently on a mac & cheese kick and wants it for lunch and dinner every day.

- LOVES breakfast sweest! Pop Tarts, donuts, waffles, french toast, pancakes (the kid can seriously eat 10 mini pancakes at a time), cereal, granola bars (ya know, the ones loaded with chocolate and/or peanut butter)...anything that will rot his teeth out of his head.

- He loves to love his baby sister. He melts my heart at least 3 times a day with things like "Hi baby girl!" "It's ok Mya, I coming" and "Goodnight, Mya. Wuh you." 

- He sleeps in a big boy bed (has since 22 months or so) with the door closed and a small nightlight. He comes in our room once in a while early in the morning (4 am or so) and sleeps between us until he wakes up. I secretly hopes he comes in sometimes and find I'm a tiny bit disappointed when I wake up in the morning and he's not there. With the exception of his awful dragon breath, I love waking up to his tiny little face in mine. ;)

- He loves to watch sports. He frequently requests that we watch golf or baseball.

- He loves Wheel of Fortune ("Letters") and gets super excited when there are W's in the puzzle. He has had a strange fascination with them since he learned the letter. I find it adorable. He yells "WOOK! A W!!!" Anytime he seems one on a sign. ;)

- He has learned "whatever" and for some reason I find it hilarious when he uses it. It's never said with attitude so I think it's funny coming out of a tiny little person. 

Connor: We don't have to buckle up?

Me: Yes, we do. 

Connor: Whateber.

Haha always said with a silly little smirk. 

- Daddy is still his best friend. Although Papa and Grammy are both a close second...and third I guess. He asks for Daddy at least 10 times a day and goes crazy when he comes home in the evening.

- Loves to terrorize his puppies. I have to tell him about 672 times a day "We don't hit the puppies!" and "Leave them alone!" 

He is my crazy little ball of energy. He makes my world a brighter place (and can usually sometimes drive me crazy ;) and I don't know what I would do without him. He is my best friend and I am in love with watching him grow up and do new things. I am so proud to call him mine. Happy Birthday baby boy. <3

One of the very few pictures I took at his party. I was so busy, I never walked around with my camera. :(
