5 Months- We've been busy




Conner and his cousins.  The girls love him!

Wyatt and Conner - 4 Months  (give or take a few days)
They are going to be best buds.

Kate loves to hold Conner

First time eating solids

Not too sure about it...


The very next day trying rice cereal again... Couldn't get enough, he already thought he could feed himself.

Cody and I went to the Temple to see Lisa and Kevin get married.  So fun!

It took 4 tries to get this self portrait 

It it were up to Conner he would be dressed like this every day!

We went to visit Great Oma and Opa

Playing  Klap eens in je handjes with Opa an Great Ope


We had a fun day at the Brigham City Temple open house earlier this week.  Conner was a perfect angel.  I wish I had counted how many people told me how cute/smiley/ happy he was.  Almost every single usher at the Temple played with him and Conner gave everyone of them a great big smile!
"If babies could talk, heaven would have no secrets"

Conner and Great Grandma in front of the Temple




He bits his lower lip a lot lately

It's hard to get him to look at the camera when there are boys riding their bikes or cars driving by outside.



There's all the boys on their bikes.  They like to come play with Conner when we are outside.

We had to go to the doctor yesterday because Conner is feeling really yucky.  He is miserable.  Cody and I HATE it!  He is having trouble breathing and sleeping.  We wish we could take it away from him.  He is so sweet though.  He doesn't cry too much, just makes sad sounds and looks right at me like he is saying "What is wrong with me mom?"

  • 17 LBS,   27" Long
  • He is rolling a lot more now, it's getting more difficult to change his diaper
  • He has to be holding something when he goes to sleep- a lot like his dad
  • He is sitting up on his own now
  • He always talks to himself right before he falls asleep
  • He has slept through the night 4 times- I hope we get back to sleeping through the night when his cold is gone
  • Loves to jump in his excersaucer
  • He has eaten Rice, Oatmeal, Squaush, Peas, Banannas, and pears.  I think he likes peas the best... well he like all food.
  • He has been going to daycare, but we don't love it - so if you want to watch him let me know :)

4 Months

I love my Happy Boy!


Conner was teasing me when I was trying to get him to roll from his tummy to his back.  He would go this far and jut look at me like he is saying "Mom, I could do this if I wanted to...but I don't!"

We went to watch Cody and Brooke play tennis.  Cody wanted to practice in preparation for my work tennis tourney and for anyone that knows me knows I can't play tennis!


Cody gave Conner his first hair cut right before the Packsize party.  Now we know where Conner gets the tongue thing... it's not just from grandpa Larry :)

Cody is the BEST DAD!  This is at the Packsize summer party, they were giving out awards and Conner did not like it when everyone would clap.  So Cody took him away from the crowd.

The party was super fun, everyone loved Conner, but we didn't win any of the awesome raffle prizes.

Cody played in a tournament with my boss.  The took 2nd place.  The CEO and his son won.


My little boy is four months old!  He loves to be outside!

He thinks grass is the coolest thing ever!





  • Conner is 25.7" tall and 16.5lbs.  88%  for both.
  • He can roll from his tummy to his back and his back to his tummy, he just doesn't want to most of the time :)
  • He is always chewing on his thumb these days and won't take the binky anymore...what am I going to do.
  • Conner is so interested in everything!  He loves facing forward in the Moby wrap.  He just watches everything I am doing.  We did laundry and made cookies the other day.
  • When he cries there are a few things you can do
    • Take him outside
    • Give him a bath-He is good at splashing these days
    • Take off his diaper
    • or let him watch TV- This is an absolute last resort, Conner is not allowed to watch TV
  • His little laugh is SO cute- It is coming out more and more
  • The doc gave us the okay to start solids so we are going to try some cereal tonight.  I'm excited.  I'm sure we will have some fun pictures.  My mom said "I already know he is going to love it"  he has been so interested in what we put in our mouths.  He is definitely ready for this :)
  • He knows his mom and dad for sure and we are pretty sure he knows grandma B and maybe opa too.
What a cute boy we have and we love him so much!  It didn't take long for his uncle Shane to fall in love with him too.   Shane has been gone all summer in Mississippi so he just saw Conner when he was newborn.  He even watched Conner for us all day yesterday while I went to work.

Happy Birthday!  I don't think there are enough candles...

St. George trip

We saw Aladin.  The Girls (and Conner) mini vacay was SO FUN!

Yummy treat at Nielsen's Frozen Custard... I think Conner wants some :)


Conner's first plane ride.  We flew back from Cedar city.  Conner did pretty good.





Brooks and Kylee took some cute picture of Conner.  I am so impressed with Instagram.
Bath time today.  Conner always manages to completely turn himself sideways... silly boy.



We had so much fun last weekend in Delta and St. George, can't wait to do it again.

Conner- 3 Months

Conner has found his hands!  He is always looking at them and sucking on them.

Wish they didn't hide his smile though...

Gotta love this picture!  Conner went with me to vote.

He is out of it!  He never sits this still.  I put him down for a long nap after this picture.

We went to the triathlon/BBQ at my parents house, always a fun race.  I am going to do a couple triathlons next year!

First time in the excersaucer.  I think he was overwhelmed with all the toys.  He is getting the hang of it though.  He likes to stand up, so this is perfect for him.


Wiggle time out side in Delta.  We just put him right on the table... Opa tried to feed him waffles.

4th of July.  Cody and Shane had wiggle car races.

Cody and I raced too...for the record, I won!

Grandma and Conner

After his first bath in the sink.  He was so content even with his eyes covered.

I love when he puts himself to sleep

My cutie is 3 months old!

He likes his bumbo chair too.

When he is not sitting up he is doing little crunches like he wants to be.



Conner is a happy baby.  He loves to smile, especially as we are putting him to bed, he tries to make us think he is not tired.  He is all smile in the morning too, my favorite time of day!  I love getting up in the morning to play with him... as long as he slept good at night (He woke up every two hours last night-so I was not so thrilled to be waking up again this morning)

  • Loves to play with his hands and his toes
  • Grabs his toys and brings them to his mouth
  • Does mini sit ups and push ups-Strong boy
  • So close to rolling over-We don't do tummy time very often, but are starting to do it more.
  • Conner makes all kinds of sounds.  He likes to talk.  His latest is is a very high pitched sound.
  • Blows bubbles all the time
