Thunderstorms Last night

Last night Sarah, Connor, & I went to the store to do some food shopping. Just as we were checking out at the register it started to sprinkle some really big drops. I was holding Connor and a bunch of the drops were hitting him as we hustled to the car. As I was putting him into the car seat, he was getting pretty upset. Imagine getting woken up from a nice warm nap by a sprinkler, while being jostled by your jogging father.... Anyway, Sarah & I shoved all the groceries in the car and headed home. Turns out there was a Severe T-storm headed our way. It didn't reach its full potential until we got home, but the drive home was windy, with lightning, and a lot of rain. Connor loved it! That's right, the crying, upset baby from the car seat, loved the whole drive home. He spent the whole time laughing, cooing, & giggling. We were really lucky to get home when we did! Connor seemed to like the storm, even when the lightning was striking fairly close with the really loud thunder that followed. Anyway. Talk to you all soon.

With Love.

6 Weeks, 15 lbs.

So we are growing pretty well. Connor is now 6 weeks old and weighs in at a whopping 15 lbs. I work with a lady whose little girl is 7 months old and her baby weighs 15 lbs too. He isn't a complete chunk, but he does like to eat. Sarah got some really great video of him. Around 9 or 10 am he gets really awake and has a blast playing with just about anything. He laughs, coo's, sneezes, hiccups, etc. Anyway, here it is.



P.S. That's my Transformers pillow, not Connor's! He tried to snag it, but I wasn't having it!

I posted on YouTube as well if any one wants the full screen version.

Emma has found a new home lately. She tends to go here whenever we are in the nursery with Connor.


Hope all is well with everyone! School is going just fine! Open House is next Tuesday and I can't wait. It's amazing how much meeting the kids' parents explains a lot about the kid!

Much Love!

Swing Time

Okay, so I got some video of Connor is his swing staring at the warning label. He actually got so bored with it that he fell asleep for the first time in his swing.



We weighed him with the scale the other day and he's up to about 13.5 lbs. He loves to eat! He has been spending quite a bit of time up during the day and sleeping from around 9 0r 10pm to 5 in the morning, which has helped us out quite a bit. Hope all is well. With Love!

The swing

I didn't get a picture of it, but last night we put Connor in his big swing chair. It was the first time that he had spent more than the thirty seconds it has taken him to cry in it, in the past. The best part was as he was laying there swinging, listening to the sounds of the ocean, the only thing that held his attention was the black & white warning label on the side of one of the supports. It was kind of funny to see him ignore everything else: the colorful owl mobile, his mom cooing at him, the dogs. He was completely transfixed by a warning label that I spent 20 seconds to read and then forget.

He has been much more animated the last couple of days in the evenings. He's started to kind of giggle, coo, and smile some more at Sarah & I. It's really funny. I promise I'll try to get it recorded. Hope all is well. Talk to you soon. With Love!

Connor's Bouncy Chair

Connor has been spending some time in his Bouncy Chair. Enjoy!

School starts this Thursday. I get my own room this year and it has been fantastic. Hope all is well. With Love!

4 Weeks

I put together some random video clips & pics from the last week or so. Hope you enjoy them! My cousin, Annie, had her little girl yesterday! Another eight pound baby in the family! Congratulations, Annie & Terry!!! Thank you for the prayers!

P.S. I put it on YouTube too, if you want to watch it full screen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XExlLM6ggDI

With Love!

We're back to being a household of three plus the dogs. We wanted to thank Karen & Dennis for everything that they helped out with while they were here. The house looks great and the meals were fantastic! Thank you so much.

Connor was taking a bath the other day and deciding to enter into the Mother Teresa look-a-like contest hosted here in town. I don't know if we'll win, but I think we have a fighting chance... Just kidding... He just looked so cute wrapped up like a little soft taco. I'm probably headed to Purgatory for that joke... Oh, well...

My cousin, Annie, is due to have her second child, Greta, any day now, so please keep them in your prayers! We can't wait to meet her, Annie!!!

With Love!
