the BEST helper

Lately, Connor has been all about helping his parents! Almost anything that we do, he is right by our side trying to help. 

He especially loves to help daddy whenever there are tools involved. He was all over trying to put his toddler bed together. During some parts Adam was struggling and Connor would look up at him like "what is the problem dad".  Here are some of the moments I captured:

Building our garden


He also loves to help mommy cook and bake. Usually I let him help pour ingredients, push the buttons on the microwave or timer and of course sample everything.

We just love this little boy to pieces!!

March is a BIG month!

This month Connor has hit TWO big milestones, that push him from the baby stage into full blown toddler! Ok, I know that he has been out of the baby stage for awhile but his just makes it so real!


First... Connor is potty trained!! Wahoo! I started on Friday the 9th after he peed in the shower twice and was so excited about it. That morning he had two accidents and that was it for the whole day! By the afternoon he would just run to the potty without me telling him to!  HE picked it up so quickly!  Just 3 days later I took him to the store in his big boy undies and NO accidents! He loves his undies and will occasionally have a slip up but its rare! He has moved from his little potty to using the big potty with a kid seat. He's not really into trying to stand up yet but that is ok. Last night he did stand up and he peed outside for the first time... He was really confused. In my defense, he was covered in mud and I didn't want it through the house..

Second.. Connor is finally out of the crib! We ordered him a toddler bed and he loves it! The first two nights I had  to sit in the rocker with him until he fell asleep and sleep half the night on his floor the second night. I think he was teething and that was half the problem. Poor thing just needed to have his momma comfort him. Now he even takes naps in there if he is tired enough!
