January 17th, almost 3 months

Maxwell with his reindeer antlers...watch out Roudolph!
Today Connor is twelve weeks old! Here is what is going on...besides the fact that Connor is getting cuter with each day. Saturday was my first day back to work, it wasn't that bad, but I had to work Sunday too, and I really missed my little doodle bug! Connor stayed home with his daddy. We go to the doctor next week, I am anxious to see how much Connor has grown. My favorite part about being a mom...if Connor starts crying when someone else is holding him and I take him, he stops crying; and my absolute favorite thing, watching Connor smile. I almost forgot, last night for the first time, Connor slept until 6 this morning, took a bottle and slept till 8! he was in bed by 9 the night before.
Here is my favorite picture to date, Marcos bought Connor the slippers

Getting ready for bathtime!

January 9th: A day away from 11 weeks old

A day shy of 11 weeks and here is what's going on, Connor now loves taking baths (which actually started about 3 weeks ago,) he only wakes up once during the night to eat, and is smiling up a storm. Connor likes having his tummy time, laying on his back, looking at lights and ceiling fans, looking out of windows and going outside.
Here is a picture of Connor, mommy, and big brother Maxwell and the ridiculously big bear daddy bought for Connor





Here is Connor with his Aunt Kellie and cousin Nola, meeting for the first time. Connor and paw paw...Connor's first Christmas
Bathtime!! 12/26/07
MeMe, Connor, and Daddy at Miracle on Fulton Street...Connor's first "snowfall"

Let me start by apologizing for being such a bad blogger, as the new year begins I promise to make more of an effort to keep everyone updated. To back track...all of these photos were taken in November, Connor was anywhere from two to five weeks. At this time he was hating to have his diaper changed, hated taking baths, and still waking up two times during the night to eat. I was strictly breastfeeding and the doctor to me to increase feeding times or start supplementing, when we went back at 8 weeks to re-check Connor's weight he was 9. 41/2. A big difference in two weeks...I thought my baby had colic for the first 6 weeks of life, little did I know the poor thing was starving! Now we breastfeed first followed by a supplemental bottle. Here are some pics... This is me and my buddy Chase McCarthy
