16 months

Late last month, Connor made 16 months.  Seriously, where did my baby go?!  Overall, October 2015 was an eventful month for Connor.

The biggest change was that Ev’s parents want on a vacation, so we had to send Connor to a full time babysitter for little over three weeks. This was the first time Connor would be going to a sitter for an extended period of time, and I was nervous how he’d react. Fortunately for us, he took it surprisingly well. In fact, on the first day, he went to the babysitter without any hesitation and waived bye to me. *tear*

Other notable firsts for the month include learning to walk backwards and going to his first football tailgate of the season.  Connor’s a lot more interactive now and its been a really fun time for us.  Most of the time, he’s a really happy, playful baby.

Connor is also getting better at vocalizing. So far he can consistently say the following words:

Mama
Dada
Ball
Muah (as in the kissing sound)
Bye bye
Dumbo

Other words he’s said, but less consistently:
Connor (sounds more like “nyanah” though)
Bunny

For whatever reason, Connor is having difficulty saying “hi” (only the h-sound comes out and it sounds like “hhhhhhha”) and “shoes” (only the s-sound comes out and it sounds like “shhhhhu”).
