Conner turned 6! I can't believe how old he is getting. For his birthday, we just went out to dinner with some friends and family and then we had a little gathering at our house over the weekend. Conner wanted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The cake looked pretty cool. And the cookies party favors came out perfect (I have an amazingly talented friend!).
We also visited the NICU on Conner's birthday and dropped off some treats and pictures. We were so happy to see one of our favorite doctors and Nurse Practitioners (she was in the delivery room when the boys were born). We haven't seen either of them in a few years so it was great to bump in to them.
Conner is pretty fun and amazing at 6 years old. I love getting to spend time with him and sad that our time together will be less now that he is going to be in school every day all day. I treasure our "dates" and hope that it stays that way.
At 6 years old:
Favorite food: still buttered noodles (with a bowl of cheese to dump on it) or sushi
Foods he won't eat: There are few things Conner won't try. For some reason, purple cabbage grosses him out and he doesn't like olives or chick peas.
Favorite vegetable: Broccoli
Favorite fruit: He likes them all
Favorite desert: Chocolate - anything chocolate!
Favorite activities: Starbucks date with mom (lemon pound cake and chocolate milk!), Marvelous Marvin's Mechanical Museum, Chuck E Cheese, and still would love to live at Disney World! He also LOVES going to the movies and eating popcorn!
When he grows up: Conner wants to be a veterinarian or a chef.
Favorite friend: Ben (his big cousin!)
Favorite toy: Conner loves playing with my iPad and he likes to build stuff. He loves all kinds of building stuff.
Favorite TV show: Octonauts or really anything on Disney Junior. And he loves watching DVDs. We still love Cars, Wreck It Ralph and many many others!
Activities: This summer, Conner did lots of camp and had fun and we tried T-Ball and swimming this year, but he didn't love them. His main activities this year are Friendship Circle and therapy. I wish he could do some more fun activities but right now we are a little tight on time. I'm hoping to get him in to a cooking class or something else once he gets a little older.
Conner loves hanging out with his family and is super sweet to everyone he meets. He is friendly and has won the hearts of everyone who has worked with him over the last 6 years. He is still really hyper and busy and faces daily challenges but kicks most of those challenges in the butt! We are super proud of our former 23 week 1 pound miracle boy!
