Blessed Beyond Measure...: Week 24...not feeling so hot!

Well, we've had a pretty good week! Connor thinks he's a raptor now and his new trick is to scream - he screams constantly - when he's happy! He wakes us up in the morning by screaming and making his raptor noises! Connor turned 24 weeks old on Wednesday, 1/27 and since Thursday, 1/28 he has not been sleeping well. He is very restless and I think it's because he's teething. I have been giving him Tylenol a lot and that is the only thing that seems to comfort him so he can sleep. Needless to say...Jason and I are pretty exhausted! Poor little guy - I can't imagine what he's going through. Here are some pictures from this last week!

On Saturday, 1/23, Jason and I went on our first "date" since Connor was born in August. Jo-Jo and Granddaddy Greg watched Connor for a couple hours while we went to see Avatar in Abingdon. It was an AWESOME day and much needed! Connor, of course, had a fantastic time!

On Sunday, 1/24, Jason preached at our church in both Sanctuary services! This is us after church!

On Thursday, 1/28, we had our weekly date at Atlanta Bread! Here is Connor, seeing Maelen for the first time that night! I think he's thinking, "What are those pretty white things in her mouth?!"

They got so excited to see each other!

Connor tried to take her hand!

He decided to check out those pretty white teeth in Maelen's mouth...and to his surprise, he learned pretty quickly what they were...Maelen gave him a love bite!!! You should have seen his face after that!

Maelen felt bad for biting Connor and decided to put her hand in his mouth so that he could "return the favor," but Connor was a gentleman and didn't bite back!

Our friends, Alanna and Craig, and their 5 week old baby, Bailey, joined us!
