Connor Escapes

I thought I had more time.

This morning when I went in to get Connor (I heard him in there "talking" and playing), I was more than a little shocked. I opened the door and found a little man in footed, fleece, jammies standing at his toybox, pulling out toys. The little rascal GOT OUT OF HIS CRIB!

The crib is on the lowest possible setting, no bumpers in the crib for him to stand on, and during his escape, he didn't make a peep. In shock, I immediately told Brian and I think it took him a few seconds to register what I was telling him. It probably sunk in more when Connor ran into our room to see daddy.

Anyway, Brian suggested not jumping to any changes. We are going to see if it was a fluke thing or if he does it again soon. If so, we'll obviously be converting his crib into a toddler bed very soon.

Perhaps the fact that I rearranged Connor's room yesterday gave him some sort of super-powers? The weird thing is that as I was moving stuff around, in my head I was thinking of how it would look best once it was converted to a full-sized bed. Perhaps I jinxed myself. I thought I'd at LEAST have another 4 months before I had to even think about it.

Another proof that he is getting so big....the kid much prefers eating with a fork. He has been doing it for a while but has really mastered his skills. When we give him a fork, far less food ends up on the floor and he is much more entertained by the whole eating process. Sounds good to me. My dad is in town for a very short time and last night we went out to eat and I didn't have a fork in the diaper bag so he got to practice with a big-boy fork....that was a little scary but he did great. :) We'll continue to stick to the plastic ones for now.
