Conner loves to sit on his stairs and watch the neighbors or watch the Street. We live on a street full of activity. It is a beautiful setting with a quite atmosphere and mature trees. So, you will see all kinds of people utilizing our street all day long. Walking, rollerblading, Biking, or Running. He is definitely a people watcher. Steve made these stairs for Conner and he loves them. We call it Conner's window. He will get visitors at his window a lot. His hair is getting thick and long and blond. I didn't know if he was ever going to get hair, but it is definitely growing now.
He is great with a spoon.

We spend a lot of time on these steps. We sit here and watch for dad to get home in the evening. It is usually too hot in the back yard to play out there after work, but the stairs are shaded in the evening. He sits and watches people pass by and looks for dogs. Everyone stops to talk to Conner. He is like a magnet.

He has almost caught up with Sophie in Height. He passed her in weight this month. She will be 3 in October. They are 18 months apart.

I went to his bedroom to get something while he was eating Pudding with a spoon. When I return, he was painting with the pudding and as you can tell by his face, he was loving every second of it.

"let's go!"
