rain rain go away . . . connor is 14 months old today!

it has been raining FOREVER. ok, maybe not forever but we have gotten almost 4 inches of rain this month! luckily it will stop for a few hours most days so we can get out for a walk. the weekend forecast is promising - no rain - but COLD weather. Connor's next ((scheduled) - don't want to jinx his health) -- doctors appointment isn't until 15 months but he is weighing in at 25 pounds with shoes and diaper on. He is talking more and more each day. He can now tell you what Aubie says "Beow" (i.e. "Meow" but Connor thinks it starts with a "B"), what the fishy says and what a gorilla does. Our favorite semi-new "trick" is when Colin or I sit in the "Connor Chair" (see 13 months old today post) - Connor will come and physically remove us from the chair - he is a strong buddy! Connor then climbs in his chair, smiles and points out his name written on the chair to "show" us - this is his chair - STAY OUT. Pics to follow later (hopefully today) - nap time is calling. . .
