Our sweet Conner James is 1 month old!! He is 9 pounds 11 ounces and 21.5 inches long! He is such a happy baby and makes the most interesting sounds! He makes chicken noises when he eats and metal grinding noises when he sleeps. It's unique about him! He has incredible head, neck, and leg strength and when the doctors hold his leg to cast it, they can barely keep it still. He loves to hear my voice and to track me walking across the room. he loves to cuddle and sleeps best when held. He wakes to eat every hour to 2 hours in the night (taking an hour and a half to eat and change diapers) and eats every 30 minutes to 2 hours in the day. It has been such a huge adjustment bringing him home and we've learned that getting only 3-4 hours of sleep a day makes you do crazy things. This month has been INCREDIBLY overwhelming especially since getting his cast on but we are adjusting. We love our little guy!
The very first family picture we took including sweet Lucy!!
Conner looks just like the 4D ultrasound showed us!! How incredible!!!
When he turned 3 weeks old we had to get him casted to correct his clubbed foot. It pretty much was fixed after 1-2 weeks! Absolutely incredible!!!
I've loved dressing him in the cutest outfits!!!
2 weeks old!! So serious!
Our little football and our little beach bum (below).
I knew our beach room would come in handy one day!

Conner's first 4th of July!
I can't believe we're 29 years old!!! I got everything I always wanted and so so much more! I always dreamed I'd have my son here in my arms on my 29th birthday and here we are! This vision is purely what drove me with a mad passion especially this past year. I have been anticipating this moment for so long, that's what made my 28th year so special, I knew I'd my son here with me the next year. He would be in my 29th birthday picture. My dream has become a reality. I was so excited on my birthday last year because I was so so close I could almost feel it. The final push to my future, enjoying the ride and highly anticipating the joy and excitement this year has brought. I have never been so happy! God is so so good! "He has made everything beautiful in His timing". Ecclesiastes 3:11. So here's to 29, my last year in my 20's. And yes, those are Stranger Things decorations, take this as your sign to at least try one episode!! Thank you mom for the awesome decor!
I remember on our first date that our kids would be lucky to never have to truly remember our birthdays because they are 1 day apart. I knew from the moment I met you I could easily see a future with you and it was so beautiful. I couldn't wait and guess what, we are finally living it right now. This is everything we could have dreamed of and so much more. Cody, you have the kindest most patient heart I've ever seen and are always willing to help others. That is what I hope and dream for Conner to aspire to, and luckily he is just like you!! Cody, we are a great team and you are the perfect balance to me. Happy birthday to us!! '93 babies!!!

I never got to put this up but from dog parents to people parents!! The greatest additions to our family! |
Ready for his pediatrician appointment and unfortunately shots.
Ready for construction with his Papaw!!
Is it winter yet? No?
Unfortunately our buddy had to have casts on both feet after week 3. His right foot is skewed unfortunately but can be easily fixed too.
Conner truly handles it like a champ and hardly ever complains even though I know he has to be in such pain.
Love,
