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 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!

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!

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!

Connor's Baptism at 10 weeks old!

Hello Everyone!

We hope you are all doing well! We have had a busy and exciting week! On 10/24 my parents arrived for a week in the mountains! Connor was also baptized on 10/25! He is doing great! He's been sleeping 8 -9 hours a night, without any middle of the night feedings! He is babbling and smiling more than ever and we could not possibly feel more blessed! Here are some pictures from this week!

This is Connor on 10/21 at the 10 week mark!

When my parents arrived on 10/24, Diablo enjoyed a good brushing from Grandpa!

Connor and his beloved Grandma!

I like to call this one..."Ah...Grandma" ;)

Later that night...Grandma, Grandpa, and Mimi understood what we meant about Connor's affinity for Garth Brooks! This is us, singing along with Garth Brooks, to calm Connor!

This is the cake that Mimi (Suz) stayed up all night making for Connor's baptism!
