My baby boy knows how to SMILE!

Connor's smile just melts your heart! It is so much fun to interact with him and watch him smile. He is the most amazing, happy little boy! We are so blessed!

Open House in Honor of Connor

This past weekend, Dave and Jill hosted a wonderful open house for family and friends to come visit Connor. They are such wonderful grandparents and really hosted such a lovely party. It was so nice to see all the family and friends who have been such a support and encouragement to us. We are so blessed with so many amazing friends and family members. We love you all and it was wonderful to see you and spend the day with you!

Happy Grandparents Day!

Connor is so lucky to have such wonderful grandparents and great-grandparents. What a blessing! We love you all!!

Thank you Auntie Mallory!

Thank you Auntie Mallory for coming and staying with us to help for Connor's first month. You were such a big help to Michael and I! I don't know many people who would beg to get to change a baby's diaper! Even more, I don't know any college girls who would be willing to give a month of their summer to help with their nephew. You have such a special way of calming Connor and helping him get to sleep. Michael and I appreciate you so much and Connor misses you terribly! Can't wait to see you on your next trip home from UCLA. We love you!

Happy 1 Month Birthday Connor!

On September 4th, Connor turned 1 month!

It's hard to believe a month has already gone by. Connor is changing and growing each day. He focuses so much more now and looks right into your eyes. His sounds now include sighs, squeals, coos, and goos. Connor moves around a lot more, kicking his legs and waving his arms. He grasps things such as dangling toys and Mommy's necklaces, but still isn't able to let go without help. He enjoys being sang to, he loves rides in the car, and loves cuddling with Daddy. Connor enjoys bathtime and especially likes being massaged afterwards with baby lotion. Connor is a good sleeper at night, with only two wakings to feed per night. He's not a big fan of sleeping during the day, probably because he doesn't want to miss out on any fun. We've seen a few glipses of smiles, usually when he's stretching after waking up, just finishing eating, getting kisses, or looking at himself in a mirror. He's such a wonderful little baby and we feel so blessed to have him as our son.

Lounging on his auntie's legs

Michael made breakfast for Connor... well, actually for me. Connor is still happy with breastmilk.
Connor loves his tummy time mat that his Great Uncle Dennis and Great Aunt Gina gave him. He spends time on it each day and it's so fun to watch how his play changes from day to day. He's starting to swat at the animals, push up and lift his head, and look at himself in the mirror. Mommy's pride and joy!
My mom and dad came to visit on Labor Day weekend. They are such a big help and both have a special way of soothing Connor and helping him to fall asleep.

Baby Connor sleeping in his crib. He is still sleeping in the co-sleeper in our room, but has occasionally taken naps in his crib.

Liz and Greg came to visit and meet our son. It was so nice to see them!
