Conner Pictures Over Load!

Bath-time is the best! 

He has been rolling like crazy!  It might be time for a gate.

He was crying one morning because he leg was stuck in his rails.

LOVE, LOVE this happy boy!

Halloween morning, throwing our costumes together.. the house was a disaster area.

My dad as ZZ Top guy

Brooke and Sami

Rock, Paper, Scissors... Packsize liked our cardboard costumes.  They shared our picture on their Facebook page.

Opa playing all the games with us.

Cutest little puppy!  This is one of those pictures that makes me smile every time.

He is so cuddly in his PJ's 

Conner loves to listen to Opa and Brooke play the guitar.

Can you find Conner?

We finally got Conner's sign hung so his room is officially finished!

Trying to feed himself.  He usually ends up gagging himself.

Conner, grandpa, and great grandpa

This box was the best part of Conner's day!

Conner didn't understand why he couldn't sit on the grass like we usually do.  He loves to be outside.  It's going to be hard when it is too cold.

Latest favorite activity... empty the box

Next we will teach him to put everything back in the box.

7 Months Old!!!

• We introduced the sippy cup this month.  It took him a while to catch on, but he has got it down now.
• He tried puffs and yogurt melts this month.  He can't quite put them in his mouth by himself, so they are great for church because he tries to feed himself for like five minutes.
• He holds his own bottle now, great for in the mornings when I am getting ready for work and Conner wakes up early.
• He is not too sure about strangers now, but he really likes both his grandma's and his babysitter Brandy.
• He is close to crawling but he is really good at rolling so why crawl??
• He made us laugh SO hard last week in the video below... if you have not watched it yet, it is a must! We have watched it over and over.  He hasn't laughed the same again, but we keep trying.
• We stopped nursing this month.  It took a while to find formula that didn't make his gassy.
• Pretty good at sleeping through the night.  If he does wake up I just rock him for a minute and give him a bottle in his crib.
• He LOVES little kids.  There is a little girl at church he likes to play with in Sacrament meeting, they had the a bunch of people laughing at them a couple weeks ago.

To Brighten Your Day

Happy Half Birthday to Conner

We survived Conner's first cold.  He was miserable for about a week.  It was the saddest thing I have ever seen.  The good part about it was that he let me just hold him and cuddle with him.  I loved that.

We have so much fun playing together.  Isn't he the cutest!?

His first time in the big boy seat at the grocery store...

He did great, but started to fall over a couple of times.

Conner with Brooke, my mom, and me at the Pancake House in Park City.  We had a fun trip.  Conner was so patient with us while we shopped and rode the Alpine Slide.

I went through Conner's clothes again.  Everything you see here fits him right now!  We love our cousins Noah and Caden.  Thanks for spoiling us!

Cousin Kate was taking picture with my phone.  This is one of hers.

They are growing too fast!  Conner and Wyatt, about 5 1/2 Months

This is how Conner has to sleep these days.  He just needs something to hold on to and stuff his face in... Just like his daddy :) 

Cody and I had a fun date night at the Real Game this month.  And afterward...

Leatherby's!  Love this place!

To celebrate Conner's half birthday we went and got family pictures taken... 

If you know Conner, you know he is a very happy baby, well he woke up very unhappy the morning of these pictures and was ornery all day.  While we were waiting for our photographer he spit up on his vest... you might also know that Conner rarely spits up...  

But as you can see, everyhting worked out.  Conner put his melt-your-heart-smile on his face and the pictures turned out great!

This is our favorite

• Conner weighs 19 LBS  80%
• 28" Tall  80%
• Conner started saying "Da Da" a couple weeks ago.  His dad is so proud...
• He is getting a little bit of stranger anxiety- He will smile at you all day long, but if you try to hold him he might look back at me to make sure it's okay.
• He is eating about everything now.  There is nothing he doesn't like
• He is still in love with his mobile.  When I put him down for a nap he gets a big smile on his face and looks right up at his mobile.  And every morning the first thing we do is play with the mobile.  He likes to touch it.
• Conner is teething and some days he just does not feel good
• He would rather play with plastic bags or packages that his toys come in then the toys.  Oh and he LOVES newspaper.
• He only slept through the night once last month... we need to work on that.
• He loves to play with his daddy...he always makes Conner laugh
• He loves books and I think he is going to be a good singer!

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"

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?"
