Our PRECIOUS Son!

Here are some of Connor's 6 month pictures. Isn't he just gorgeous! We are so in love. Michael and I are constantly talking about how amazing it is to be his parents. We are so blessed!

Our weekend....

We had a wonderful, busy weekend! It started Friday afternoon with Connor and I visiting Michael at work to bring him a Starbucks. Then we headed to Modesto on Saturday morning and visited Michael's grandma, Mary Anne. After that we went to our wonderful friends' home for Gannon's 5th birthday. We visited with Dave and Jill afterwards and then spent the night with my parents. The next day, we went to a baby shower luncheon for my friend from high school, Lindsay. So much fun stuff to do and having Connor along makes everything that much better! Here are some photos from our weekend. Enjoy!

Here's Connor visiting Daddy at work. Poor Daddy doesn't get much done when Connor is there!

Connor enjoying his new bath tub! He's outgrown the sink one so we're on to the "big boy" tub!

Visiting with Great Grandma Mary Anne... Connor loved snuggling with his wonderful grandma! We are all so blessed to have Mary in our lives!

Connor and his friends... Chase (10 months) and Kaitlyn (16 months)

My best friends from high school... Lindsay and her daughter Kaitlyn and a little girl on the way, Jana and her son Chase, and Connor and me. It's so nice to have such wonderful friends!

Here's Connor's new trick... Yes, he can suck his own toes!!

My happy boy all ready for a trip to the market.

Connor is 6 months old!

Hard to believe our little guy is already six months old! He is just such a wonderful blessing. We love him more than anything in the world. At his 6 month doctor's appointment, Connor weighed 20 pounds and was 27.5 inches long... such a big, growing boy!

Connor's First Super Bowl!

Today we enjoyed a lazy day watching the Super Bowl. We were planning on going to a friend's Super Bowl party, but we're all still sick, so we stayed home and watched the game here instead. Grandma Jill came to visit and spend time with the little guy. How cute is Connor in his 49er gear? Too bad the Niner's didn't make it to the Super Bowl!

Fun with Family

Last weekend, we spent the weekend in Modesto with my family. Connor had a wonderful time hanging out with Poppy outside sharing quality "guy" time.

Like Poppy, Like Grandson... Bundling up on a cold day!

Connor loves his Auntie Mallory!

This weekend, Grandpa Dave came to visit and spend some time with Connor.

Grandma Jill came up to watch Connor since Mommy had to work Friday. He had such a wonderful day with her, taking long walks outside and playing with his grandma!

Connor flashing a smile!

This morning, Michael fed Connor some oatmeal for the first time. Connor took to it very well. We're going to introduce some fruits and veggies soon. That should be fun! I just bought a book on making your own baby food, so we'll see how that goes!

Big Changes in the Louis Family...

Well, we're going through a big adjustment now... I'm back to work this week. Yesterday was my first day and Connor's first day at daycare. Everything went fine, but it is much more difficult than I had anticipated. Everyone keeps telling me it will get easier, so I'm counting on that. Here are some recent photos of my baby boy!

Splish-splashing in the tub!

Grandma Jill giving Connor his bath... one of his favorite activities!
Grandpa Dave snuggling Connor!

Connor practicing his rolling over! He's mastered it quite well!

Connor playing with his new toys on his high chair... such a happy baby!

Still having lots of fun...

Some exciting news to report as Connor has rolled over for the first time! He went from his belly to his back on New Year's Day, and Mallory and John were there to witness it. Also, we decided it was time to start weaning him from the swaddle on Wednesday night. It was a huge success, as he woke up just 22 times!! We had predicted 30, hence the success comment. Oh well, that's just more time we get to spend with our boy (even if it is with only one eye open!)

Here's Connor for his monthly birthday picture. Megan and I can't believe how fast time flies! He sure is shaping into a little boy from a baby.

Here I am with my 2 boys as we stare at beautiful mommy!
Connor loves taking walks. We have to bundle him up tight now, but it doesn't look like he minds much. This is him at the park with Megs, such a good mommy!

The Most Beautiful Wedding

After Christmas, we all packed up and headed for Tahoe to celebrate Mandy and Chad's wedding. It was a perfect weekend... God blessed us with beautiful weather! Mandy has never looked so gorgeous and happy and we are excited to welcome Chad to the family. Connor was the ring bearer and did an excellent job! It was fun to spend such a wonderful weekend with the family. I think Connor likes vacationing and had fun on his first trip to the snow! Love to all!
