Connor now:

1. is beginning to drink regular milk. not really. i've tried giving him organic whole milk, but he doesn't like it very much. i have to mix it with his formula and slowly remove the formula. i hope it works. he still drinks 20 - 25 oz. of formula a day.

2. sleeps in his crib for the most part. he wakes up sometimes in the middle of the night and stands at his crib and grunts. he's asking me if he can sleep in our bed. i usually allow him. the other night i was so exhausted. i guess he was asking and i just ignored him so he took it upon himself and crawled into our bed. next thing i know i wake up because there's someone nudging me. other times he'll sleep till the morning.

3. Connor, on occasion, finishes his bottle. most of time when he gets full, he'll just stick his tongue out because he doesn't want anymore and will put the cap on his bottle on. he'll never eat unless he's hungry which is why the boy probably isn't chubby.

4. crawls on all fours, correctly. and is fast now. he still walks holding on to something.

5. he displays less fear these days. he tries to get off our bed but does it by backing out, not face first. the only problem is he doesn't know how high our bed is and can't reach the floor so we have to watch him constantly. he does this successfully on the sofa and is doing it on the stairs. he goes up and down the stairs fairly quickly and is trying to go up and down, walking now. this makes me nervous.

6. says a couple words. umma = mom. uh-boo-ba = piggyback. and a few others. he understands words but can't spit it yet. words he understands: mool = water, elmo = red doll on crack, halmi = grandma, habi = grandpa, appa = dad. most of his vocabulary consists of korean words, which i don't mind because i know he'll pick up english easily when he enters school. so as of now, he's a fob.
