Lots of Exciting days and Connor's 1st Thanksgiving!

Hello Everyone! We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We have lots of pictures to share from the last week!

This is Connor's new favorite "pose" with his fingers in his mouth...we think he might be teething soon! This was taken on 11/18, when Connor turned 14 weeks old!

We had dinner at Jo Jo and Granddaddy Greg's on 11/18 and saw Granny and Granddad Jim there!

This is Connor on 11/23/09, watching Cars...again :) This was the first day that mommy was able to work all day because JoJo and Granddaddy Greg came over and stayed with Connor all day, while Mommy worked in the study! Connor had a GREAT time and was so good for his grandparents! They were so helpful and we appreciated them so much!

On 11/24, we fed Connor Rice cereal for the first time. He has been spitting up constantly and my best friend, Misty, suggested I try this. So he eats rice cereal once a day now (right before bedtime) and LOVES it! I can't wait to give him fruit next month!

This is to show you how small he is in his high chair!

Look at those big eyes!

This is Connor on 11/25, the day he turned 15 weeks old!

On Thanksgiving Morning, we got up and went to Granny's before heading up to Big Stone Gap!

Our little Thanksgiving Blessing!

More Pictures!

Hello Everyone!

We hope you all had a great week! We are doing very well and wanted to share some pictures from the last week! On Saturday, 11/14, we headed to Knoxville to celebrate our 2nd Anniversary with Connor at the zoo. Unfortunately, we did not realize it was free day at the zoo and it was so crowded that we did not get to see anything. Jason did get to show Connor all the Rhinos and their poop :) However, we left there, downhearted, and headed back to Bristol. On the way, we stopped to eat at Cracker Barrel and ended up having a WONDERFUL time, sitting in the rocking chairs, talking, and listening to music. Here are some pictures from Cracker Barrel...
On Sunday, 11/15, we headed up to Big Stone Gap to visit with the Ratliffs :) Here is Connor sitting with his Memaw!

Connor and Mamaw!

I love this picture - you can see how much Connor adores his Papaw - here he's sitting with Mamaw, but turned around, staring at Papaw while he tells us a story!

Our little family outside Papaw's house!

This was on Monday, 11/16, Connor in his bouncy seat, watching Cars...again...

On Monday night, sitting with daddy, AGAIN, watching Cars...

Tuesday, 11/17, was mine and Jason's 2nd wedding anniversary! Thanks for all the well-wishes and cards! We loved them! This is me with my gift from Jason! My very favorite type of gift!

I had a calendar made for Jason with some of our favorite pictures!

This is Connor and I on 11/18 with the flowers that he and Daddy sent me for our anniversary!

We hope you've all enjoyed! Have a great weekend!

A Couple More!

Ok - a couple more cute pictures of Connor that I just had to share!!!

This is Connor when he turned 3 months old, on November 12th!

Swinging in his swing while watching his favorite movie...no, not Lord of the Rings (unfortunately)...Cars!!!

Connor's Aunt Kecia and Aunt Teresa came over to bring us dinner that night! Here they are with Connor and Daddy! This was also the first time I left Connor with Daddy for a couple of hours...I had a work meeting to go to. Connor did very well...except for the bottle thing, of course!

This is Connor and I on 11/13...he's wearing overalls that my parents gave him. Coincidentally, they belonged to me when I was a year old!!! My parents had them monogrammed for Connor! Weird that they fit him at 3 months and fit me at 12 months!!!

Close up!

Later today, we went to the office where Connor, again, gave sound clinical advice during supervision!!

I LOVE this picture! Connor's face is PRICELESS! This is Connor with his "big brother" Grant! In this picture, Connor looks like he's saying, "Mom...are you SURE he's big enough to hold me?! I mean, REALLY sure?!"

Have a great weekend!

Connor is 3 Months Old!

Hello Everyone! It's been a while since I've had a chance to update the blog! It's tough being a stay at home mom and working from home! Connor is now 3 months old, as of today! He is doing GREAT! He is so happy and loves to talk and smile all day long! Here are some pictures from the last 2 weeks!

This is Connor on 11/2/09 at 11 weeks old!

He loves to lay on a blanket on his floor and kick his legs!

This is Connor on 11/3/09!

I thought this picture was funny!

Connor on 11/4/09 at 12 weeks old!!!

Papaw, Memaw, and Uncle Nick came over on Sunday, 11/8!

With his Memaw!

I love this picture because you can see his little personality! Earlier this day, Connor went to the nursery at church for his first time! Jason and I were nervous and after Sunday School we peeked in on Connor who had this same look on his face and was babbling away to the sweet woman who was bouncing him on her knee in a rocking chair! We were so proud of Connor and if you could have see how cute he was, just talking away! We picked him up an hour later and were told that the only time he cried was when his little friend Lucy cried. Lucy is 5 weeks older than Connor and our friends' Richard and Laura's latest addition. I thought that was adorable!

We hope you all have a wonderful week!

Connor"s First Halloween!

Well, Connor's 1st Halloween has now come and gone! He had a wonderful night of Tricks and Treats! Here are some pictures of the special day!

Daddy wanted to show Connor "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" but Connor was upset that the Great Pumpkin never arrived - this is Daddy consoling Connor...

Even the kitties like to watch Charlie Brown!

Connor in his "Boo" outfit :)

We went over to our friends' Laura and Richard's house Halloween night! This is Connor all dressed up in his costume - watching the trick or treaters!

With our friends Nina and Natalie, the fairy!

Enjoying the night!

Our Sunday School class and all the kids at Laura and Richard's!

Have a great week everyone!
