Profile

I decided to be born on April 20th instead of May 1st. I came out pretty cute, and fortunately, I seem to be growing cuter every day. I'm pretty pleased with the world so far, although I think my mother may be terminally nuts. She calls me things like "monster" and "punkin butt," but my name is Connor Ashley.

My likes include playing with toys, rolling from my back to my tummy to my back, the dryer, watching TV (... to my mother's chagrin), playing video games with Daddy (... to my mother's chagrin), my mobile, standing up, being outside, fart noises, squealing at previously unheard-of decibel levels, bottles, chewing on things, and hands. My dislikes include sleeping on my back, amusing myself for more than five consecutive minutes, wet diapers, being held in a cradle hold, green beans, sleeping through the night, and having to take medicine.

I'm a pretty laid-back baby, and lucky for my parents, I have a generous disposition. Lately, I've been really involved with a number of projects: I'm trying to learn to hold my own bottle, I've started taking small bites of baby food FROM A SPOON (although what I really like is dribbling it back down my chin), and if one of my parents props me up juuuussst right I stay sitting without support for periods as long as thirty seconds. I'm also trying to master the art of crawling on all fours because my tummy doesn't like the carpet. These are all side projects, of course; my main work consists of drinking bottles, grabbing things and examining them solemnly, laughing at my parents, chewing on my hands, and taking long naps. I like to stay active.
