Photos from the weekend...

My precious sleeping baby!

Grandma Jill came to visit and brought Connor this adorable, comfy outfit. It was perfect for the windy weather we had this weekend.
Connor is sure lucky to have two wonderful Grandmothers who absolutely adore him! Michael and I are so blessed to have the help and support of both of our moms.

1 Month Professional Photos

These were the photos we had taken when Connor was 1 month old. It's hard to believe how much he's already changed. He is such a wonderful son!

Two Month Appointment

Yesterday, Connor had his two month appointment. Thank goodness Michael was able to take a break from work to come with Connor and me, or I don't think I could have handled it. Connor is just not a fan of the doctor's office. He started crying as soon as we put him on the scale and pretty much cried through the entire examination. Michael held both of his hands and talked to him while he got his shots, as I stood turned away in the corner crying! I'm such a wimp and my heart just breaks when Connor is in pain. Connor was easily soothed after the appointment and slept the majority of the afternoon. On a brighter note, we absolutely love his new pediatrician. She was so patient with us and answered our long list of questions. For the most part, Michael and I were both pleased with the decision to go through UC Davis for Connor's doctor. Some other exciting news... Connor is one healthy, growing boy! He measured 23.5 inches long and 14 pounds 8 ounces! We are so blessed to have such a healthy boy! Hope everyone is doing well! Thank you for checking our blog and keeping up to date on our lives! Love to all!

Happy 2 Month Birthday Connor Michael!!

Hard to believe it's already been 2 Months! Connor is such a blessing and we are enjoying every minute of being his parents. Connor changes each and every day and continues to grow and develop. He is a very happy baby and he smiles often! He still enjoys taking baths, playing on his play mat, and snoozing on Daddy. His new interests include reading books and singing songs with Mom. The songs that he smiles most to include Old McDonald and The Wheels on the Bus. He also enjoys Itsy Bitsy Spider and Pat-A-Cake. Connor enjoys morning walks with Mom and Buddy. In fact, they went for a long walk all the way to Starbucks the other day and Connor slept the whole way! Michael and I thank God each and every day for our healthy, happy baby boy!

Mandy came to visit on Friday. She held Connor the whole time so I could hang the pictures of Connor on our wall. Connor loves being held by his aunties. He sure is loved!

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.

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