Block City

    While Aaron was away in the field, Connor and I played with his blocks... A LOT! I thought it was funny that he loved to knock over anything that was stacked. And wouldn't just gently knock it over, he would swat at it until every last block was on the ground. He would play rough like a grown boy! I told Aaron about it, and he thought it was funny too. He told me I should build him a big city of blocks and let him go to town knocking them all over. I am not very imaginative when it comes to block stacking, so I told him I would just wait for him ;) So tonight after dinner, he kept his promise and built Connor his city.

 Creating the city.

Playful

    I love that Connor still naps twice a day. He's a totally different toddler when he misses his naps. He fell asleep on me for a few minutes this morning, then took a 2 hour nap.

     After he woke up from his morning nap, around 10:30, he was in a very playful mood! We played with blocks in his room until he got bored. He loved dumping them all out on the floor. Anytime I tried to build something, he would knock it over. It became a fun game for him :)

Connor's New Tool Bench

     As you all know, we have been living in a hotel for quite a while now. I have felt really bad for Connor because we only brought a few of his toys with us (the rest will come when our household goods arrive in about a month). While browsing Facebook, I saw a post on my news feed that somebody was selling a kids tool bench with tools for only $5! I commented on the post and after the 2 people that were in front of me decided to pass, I got it! The man selling it brought it to our hotel for us. After I cleaned it, Connor had fun playing with all the pieces and banging them together. He is a little small to play with it correctly, but he will grow into it. 

Our Day

     Our day started at 10 am when I dropped my phone and woke up Connor. He really woke up at 6:30, but went back to sleep with me while Aaron was at work. He was in such a good mood, as usual. I normally let him play for about an hour before I feed him breakfast, but since he woke up so late I fed him as soon as we got out of bed.

"Hurry Momma, I'm ready to eat!"

Surprises For Our "Roly Poly"

    Aaron came home from work with a few surprises for Connor and me. When he walked in the house, I noticed a cute bear sticking out of his backpack.

Minnesota: Day 4

     This is our fourth day in Minnesota and we have noticed that Connor has been needier and fussier than usual. His grandpappy decided to buy him a jumper to use for the rest of our stay in hopes that it would keep him happy. 

 There were lots of pieces.

A Boy and His Tractor

    My dad gave Connor a tractor that be bought from his work when he was just a month old. Now that he is a little bit bigger, he is able to play with it and loves it!

New Toy

     At noon, I woke up for the day ( I got off work at 7am) and our babysitter went home. I decided to make a quick trip to Target. Ok... there is no such things as a quick trip to Target. It's one of my favorite stores. I needed to buy some gifts for our friends that are having babies and birthdays. Plus a couple things for Connor. 

He napped while I shopped. It was perfect!

     I wanted to get him a little something, so I got him a chewy teether. He is in the "everything goes in my mouth" stage so it was the perfect toy. He seems to like it.

    While I was changing him, he had a little accident (It was the second out of three times it happened today)! I put him down to play on his blanket with his new toy while I got the water ready for a bath. He was being silly, so I couldn't help but take pictures. 

 I think he liked playing in just his diaper :)
