So much to be Thankful for!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! We spent Connor's first Thanksgiving with all of our family. We spent time with all of Michael's family and my family. We had my Aunt Judy visiting from Michigan and our cousins who are from England. We had such a wonderful time and of course, Connor was given so much love and attention! We were reminded this holiday of how much we have to be grateful for... at the top of our thankful list is our healthy, happy baby boy!

We have a tradition with our Sacramento friends to have Thanksgiving dinner together each year. The next two pictures are from our celebration this past weekend. The food was so good!

Like father like son... I think they look like twins!

Sorry it's been awhile....

Here's Michael giving Connor a pep talk before bedtime, encouraging him to sleep through the night! Yes, we're still getting up 5-6 times each night! I think Connor just likes to hang out with us.

Auntie Mandy knows how to make Connor smile!
Here's Connor ready for his walk... this was the first time he sat in his stroller without the infant seat. Such a big boy!

Happy boy, ready for his morning walk to Starbucks.

You bring so much joy and happiness to so many lives.

Connor got a few gifts this weekend from his Grandma Mitchell. He's already having so much fun with them!
Three months old and already loves the tv! Too bad Mom and Dad won't let him watch it!!

Weekend Photos

After celebrating Halloween, we stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Louis's Home and had many visitors! We celebrated Grandma Mary's 85th Birthday and spent time with all the family! Here are some photos from the weekend!

Baby's First Halloween

We spent Halloween at Grandpa and Grandma Mitchell's home. They made delicious chili and the house was the best decorated on the block. Connor had fun helping answer the door to all the trick or treaters!

Video of Baby Connor

Connor is on the verge of laughter... he makes little giggle sounds that just melt your heart. Here is a little sample for you to see. Mallory is playing with him on the changer and you can see how happy Connor is to have his auntie there.

The cutest duck I've ever seen!

Mommy's Pride and Joy

Here are some pictures that I took of Connor today. I just love his different expressions! I am enjoying every minute of being his mom. I am absolutely dreading going back to work. I just want to spend every minute with him. He amazes me each day at how much he changes, grows, and learns. He is such a delight and I love him more than I could have ever imagined. I know Michael feels the same way!

Happy Halloween

Michael, Connor, Buddy, and I would like to wish you a very Happy Halloween!

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.

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!
