Conor hit the 16 month milestone today. It seems like every day Conor is doing something new. I'm always amazed at how quickly he picks up on things these days. I've found myself in passing talk about his feet or a new toy and then later I'll ask him where his foot is and he is able to point right to it. He's learning what all of his toys are called and can go pick them out if you tell him what to get.
Recently I've been showing him how to shoot baskets from a distance with his little hoop. At first the ball was going straight up when he would shoot but he's gotten better. He can make it from a couple of feet back now. Last night I was sitting on the couch holding one of the little orange basketballs and he dragged the basket over to me so we could play. It was so cute!
He's been a little fickle when it comes to eating. Somedays he will love a certain type of food so we will try it again a couple days later. As we are cooking it we are thinking to ourselves and sometimes aloud how Conor is going to tell all his friends how he has the best parents in the whole world only to realize that he is in no mood for what we prepared. There are some foods that he always seems to enjoy, though. Mac and Cheese is probably at the top of the list. He has also really been enjoying a certain type of barbecue sauce recently, "Annie's Naturals Organic BBQ Smoky Maple Flavored."
Conor is very vocal but he hasn't gotten to the point where he is really sounding out words. We think he knows "Dada" and I also think he tries to say the names of some of his toys but it's really hard to tell. He has been really trying to communicate recently so it's probably only a matter of time.
