My baby is 9 years old today! Why does time go so fast? I love having a 9 year old boy, but I miss my baby. He definitely keeps us all on our toes!Thankfully Connor Ray still loves to cuddle, but gone are the little boy features and the baby talk. Some of the things I love about Connor Ray are- he is a very loving boy, he and his sister are best friends (he would do anything for Hannah, he once slept in her room on the floor for a long period of time because Hannah was scared by herself), he still loves to snuggle, he is a hard worker and loves to help out, Connor is a great rider and loves horses, he also loves his quad, Connor has grown up so much in the past year- his confidence is great, I love that he is a little boy that makes boy noises does boy things and is forever giving me gray hair, I love that he likes to look good and wears clothes like his dad and Papa, I love Connors love for tools and all things in the garage, I love that Connor pretends to be a tough guy but is really a softy, I love that Connor isn't afraid to try new things (anymore), I love that Connor is so smart and has a photographic memory- he can always find our stuff, although he is usually the one who didn't put it away :), There are so many things that I love about my boy, I could never list them all here...Each year I wish he could just stay that age...then as the year goes on, I think it is my favorite age. I know i am going to miss my 8 year old boy, but that I will LOVE my 9 year old boy, too.
I love with all my heart Connor Ray! Happy birthday to my little man!
Love you,
Mommy
