Busy week

Connor has had one really busy week!  He spend July 4th weekend in the Quad cities visiting Grandma and Grandpa Wells.  He had a great time there and was such a good baby.  It was his first trip away from home.  He did great in the car and he is excited to go back again. 

This past Monday, Connor went to his first amusement park - Santa's Village with his cousins Riley and Carson.  Connor was very alert and liked to watch his big cousin Riley go on all of the rides.  When he got home that evening he slept for 7 hours in a row!  He was exhausted.

Today Connor is 8 weeks old - we cannot believe how fast he is growing.  He is sleeping pretty well at night (about 5 hours at a time - sometimes more, sometimes a little less). He is smiling and cooing a lot more too.  It is so fun to watch him grow from week to week.

Happy 4th of July! 

Connor was 7 weeks old on the 4th of July.  He's getting so big!

Birthday BBQ

We just finished celebrating Andrea's 30th birthday with a big BBQ in the back yard.  Lots of friends and family came out to celebrate.  It was a great time.  The house was all decorated and there was plenty of food and drinks to go around.  What a way to celebrate turning the big 3-0! 

Thank you to all who came out to celebrate. This birthday will not be forgotten!

Andrea's Bday and Connor's 6 week picture

We celebrated Andrea's 30th birthday this past Friday with Pizza and Ice Cream cake.  It was a really fun day.  Andrea got to test our her new camera that she got.  She took some great pictures that day!  This coming weekend we are going to have a big BBQ to celebrate with all family and friends.  It is going to be a lot of fun.  The weather is supposed to be really hot, but hopefully it will not be too bad.

Connor is 6 weeks old today.  For some reason this week he really look like he has grown up a lot.  He is starting to smile a little bit and "talk" (coo) more.  He recognizes our voices and smiles when we go to pick him up or talk to him.  It melts our heart to see him smile.  He is so stinkin cute!  We cannot get enough of him.  He is such a joy to have!


Enjoy the pictures from Andrea's birthday and Connor's 6 week birthday!

Oh no, my Mom is turning 30!

The Boys

5 Weeks

This post is 1 day late.  Connor was 5 weeks old yesterday.  The pictures below were taken yesterday when he turned 5 weeks old - I just did not get around to uploading the pictures and writing a quick blog entry yesterday.  Connor was very very fussy yesterday, but is a very happy boy today.

He is starting to smile a little bit more, but is still very serious.

Connor is getting ready to help celebrate his Mom's big birthday! 

1 Month Doctor's Appointment

Connor had his 1 month doctor's appointment today. He did great!  He only cried when he had to go on the scale.  I kindly told him that we all do not like the scale, but it will be quick and painless. :)

Connor's 1 month stats:
Weight: 8.3 lbs
Height: 21 inches

He is in the 25th percentile for his height and the 10th percentile for his weight.  He is perfectly healthy and is getting stronger every day. 

We will go back to the doctor in 1 month for another check up and his first round of shots.  I thought that he had to get shots at this appointment, but I was wrong (yay!).  I was preparing Connor and myself for the shots this time, but it will have to wait until next time.  I believe that he will be getting a total of 3 shots next visit - poor guy!

We might have a future tennis star on our hands!
