Spike

Connor's Uncle Adam gave him a new name - Spike!  It is very fitting because his hair just sticks straight up.  It is so fine and thin right now that it does not lay flat on his head so he always has spikes.  I picked him up after work one day to find out about his nickname and loved it.

Smiley

I just cannot get enough of this adorable smile :)

Connor 28 and 29 week photos

Connor is perfecting his sitting!  He is a rock star at it now.  So much that he thinks he can go from sitting to rolling over and grabbing everything in his sight.  He never stops moving unless he is sleeping - we definitely have a busy boy on our hands. 

Here are some updated pictures of his weekly photo sessions.

Things I Love

Connor smiling ALL the time.  Seriously, the kid is a smile machine.  He makes any day THE BEST day. His smile is just adorable!!! 

I also love that Connor planks when he is on his stomach!  This kid cracks me up!!

Breakfast with Santa

Connor met Santa this past weekend.  Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Jim treated us to a brunch with Santa event.  It was very nice!  All of the kids (Riley, Carson and Connor) did great with Santa.  The food was delicious too.  It was so nice and casual - you could go up and get some food and Santa was just sitting in one spot, so when we were ready we were able to go up to him at anytime.  Connor LOVED looking at him and smiling.  After he was able to take everything in, we decided it was time for him to sit on his lap - he did GREAT!  I was shocked, actually we all were shocked!

It was a great event!  Connos says Thank You Grandma and Grandpa!!!

Bears or Vikings

What team will Connor be rooting for when he gets older?  Right now, he is a Viking Fan - let's see if his Daddy will change that :)

Connor's 6 month Stats

Connor went to the doctor on November 28th for his 6 month check-up.  We have got one healthy little boy!  He did really well at the Doctor's office.  He did not like the nurse or the doctor very much at first but once he warmed up to them he was all smiles...until the shots.  He had to get 3 shots - poor kid!  My heart just absolutely breaks for him.  He will have to go back in January to get 1 more shot (the flu shot has to be done in 2 doses).  Then he will be done with shots for a little while.  He, unlike his cousin Carson, screams and screams after he gets his shots.  He is easy to calm down after, but I just feel so bad.  Once we got home he was all smiles again.  I gave him some baby Tylenol the rest of the day just to make sure he doesn't get  fever and is not too achy from all of the shots.  He did get some pretty cool band aids though - Avengers this time!!

Anyways, here is his stats:
Height: 27 1/4" (75th percentile)
Weight: 16 pounds 2 ounces (25th percentile)
Head Circumference: 16 1/2"

He is just absolutely perfect!  We could not be happier!
