Connor is 2!!!

I cannot believe our little boy is 2 already! He's just growing up too quickly! I think he had a great time enjoying the festivities this year. I put up some streamers in one of our doorways and tons of balloons. The streamer doorway was a huge success and every time I'd blow up a balloon Connor would say, "uh, there it is, balloon!" We ended up celebrating his Birthday over two days, but I don't think Connor minded one bit!   
Having a blast running through the streamers.

Going SO fast!!!

The decorations. Connor really loved the balloons on the fan.

Connor enjoyed all the car themed cars that were sent. Jen, he really wanted your's to come off.

The car cake! Connor loved it and I loved the way it turned out too! 

Connor could hardly wait to pluck those cars off. I think he liked playing with the cars more then he liked eating the cake!

Connor discovered the presents!



Connor loves basketball and get's frustrated that he isn't tall enough to put the ball in the basket by himself, so Chris and I thought this was perfect and Connor seemed to agree. 

Trying so hard to get the ball in the basket. We ended up lower it one notch and he loves it. Connor and I go to the rec center about once a week and before we leave we always watch the basketball courts for a few minutes.

Oh man, a new cuddly animal to snuggle! The first thing he said when he pulled this out was 'soft.'

Bows are still interesting.

Yay, puzzles! 

Mom, put too much tape on this one, but he definitely get's the open the package idea these days!

He was really confused as to why we were all singing to him.

He could have cared less about those candles, he really just wanted the cars! Chris had to save his sleeve from the candles, but Connor did blow the candles out all by himself though. 

Connor's little party guests. It was a fun evening.

Connor's First Swim Lessons

Chris and I enrolled Connor in swim lessons last month and he had a blast at them! The class was really geared towards getting the little ones comfortable in the water and some pool safety. Connor let me fully immerse him several times each class without getting upset. He practiced kicking and blowing bubbles in the water. The pool even had a 'river' so I could pull Connor along and have him kick. The pictures below are from the day we spent in the shallow section of the pool pretending to be crocodiles!   
Connor showing how brave he is by picking up the sinking disk from the bottom.

Being crocodiles! We're on the hunt for fish!

Little crocodile found a fish!

Still being crocodiles (Connor REALLY liked that).
