3 Month Update

3 months with Conner James. Our sweet boy is 13 pounds 8 ounces and growing out of size 3month clothes, and just moved into size 2 diapers! This month he is finding his hands and now plays with toys!! He also holds his own hands. Lucy and him like to play tug of war with his blanket and Conner usually wins! Conner can grab his paci now and wave it around, he has also started sucking his thumb every now and then. He still loves tummy time. And Conner has started to respond when you talk to him, babbling, cooing, and smiling back! He's quite the little talker! He blows bubbles when no one's around to play and now he doesn't just sit with you, he has to be entertained by toys or singing or playing! Such fun! He is exploring his surroundings by putting things in his mouth. He loves to grab mama's hair in big clumps and cries when I go out of sight. He also doesn't just cry to the room anymore, he cries to me looking to see if I'm there and if I'll pick him up. He is sleeping pretty well at night but doesn’t like daytime naps yet, just cat naps. Conner loves watching football with his daddy and will usually watch for 30 minutes!!

It's so much fun to see his personality grow and see who this little person is! We love him so very much!

He's perfect!

Doesn't he look so grown up!! I love my sweet little boy!

Mommy-son time.

Doesn't he look so much like Cody in these pictures.

Hello!

His precious little bucket hat!!!!

We did our first mommy and me event at the library and he loved it so much! It was so nice to get out of the house!

Fun fact, the day Conner was born the new Jurassic World was released! We love the Jurassic Park movies so so much!

Our learning stations! Thanks to Grandma enriching his brain, we have stations to learn his name, bible songs, letters, sounds, and other stimulation!

Also this month Conner went to church for the very first time with us and it was an absolute dream. I have looked forward to taking our kids to church with us and raising them in the ways of the Lord, my whole life! he did great during Sunday school and slept through service.

Conner also got to experience his first UT game!! He actually loved watching and lasted about 30-40 minutes glued to the TV! I guess he takes after his daddy!

Happy 3 months my sweet boy!!

Conners 2 Month Update

2 months with our Conner James. I didn't predict having his casts off for his 2 month picture but I also didn't predict we'd be in the hospital today recovering from his surgery where he initially had to take his casts off for. So cheers to double Tennessee socks LOL! This month Conner's personality has really started to shine through and his preferences are starting to be known. His eyes are wider and more awake and alert and he loves learning about his surroundings. He knows who sister Lucy is now and he knows to pull his hands away from being licked when she comes around. Conner's sleeping longer stretches now and is going longer stretches without needing to eat. His wake hours are growing as well. Also strangely enough, Conner has already rolled over twice. We think his casts help propel him over which is pretty scary. He continues to be a happy baby despite the odds and his legs always being poked prodded and manipulated. He's such the trooper. We love him so much. -Conner weighs 12 pounds even and is 23 1/4 inches long!

Doesn't he look like a little coach in these jeans :).

My day in the life! I put little Conner in the bouncer and work on my blogs and daily devotionals. I've been trying to journal too to have a positive start of my day. For breakfast I've been enjoying these frozen Welches protein smoothies found at Publix! So delicious!!
