Little Stinker Minker!

Since Connor is becoming more mobile he is starting to get into a lot of stuff. I am constantly moving him away from the TV. He loves to go over there so he can play with the DVDs. We are going to put some built in shelves and drawers so that he can't make a mess all of the time! He also is getting himself in some funny positions. Last week James and I were watching TV and Connor was playing on the floor in front of us. I looked down once to look at him and he wasn't on the floor where he was a few seconds ago. I looked to the side and his legs were sticking out from between the couch and chair. He looked so cute back there so I had to take some pictures.

He also is so crazy during bath time. He splashes so much that I feel like I had a bath too!! The other night he was moving around a lot and then rolled over on his stomach. I thought he looked pretty funny!! I believe we have out grown the little bathtube :)

James' Birthday!

Yesterday was James' 25th birthday. I spent the day while he was at work making his cake. It took a lot longer than I thought it would but it was a lot of fun! My mom was nice enough to come over and help me take care of Connor so I could finish the cake! I took James to My Big Fat Greek Restaurant for dinner. It was so yummy! They even sang James a greek birthday song. Our waitress at first just brought out a piece of cake and didn't have anybody sing, and James was so happy because he didn't want them to anyways. But then this guy came over and asked if we wanted them to sing and I insisted that they did, haha! After dinner we were thinking about going to a movie but just decided to go rent a movie since James got a free rental for his birthday. It was a great day! I love you James!

Half a Year

Monday Connor had his 6 month Dr. appointment. He is for sure a big boy! He weighs 18 lbs 13 oz, which is in the 75th %. He has now doubled his birth weight! His height is 28.25 in., which is in the 95th %.

Each month I take a picture of him so I can see how he grows in his first year! Look how he has grown so far!

1 month / 2 months


3 months / 4 months


5 months / 6 months


He is changing every day. Here are some things he is up to doing these days...
-Yesterday he learned how to sit up by himself. It is so cute to see him sitting up and playing with his toys.
-He rolls over so fast.
-He isn't crawling but he is doing the military crawl that can get him to where he wants to go, it is just slower than crawling!
-He now eats rice cereal and I just started with baby food yesterday and he had carrots. He gave me a funny face at first but ended up loving it!
-He loves to drink out of cups. He tries to grab the cup out of your hand if you are holding him when you are drinking.
-His favorite sounds to make are growling and clicking his tongue.
-He keeps getting more and more teeth. He has 4 of his top teeth coming in now. So he now has 7 teeth.
-He loves to smile. Sometimes when I am feeding him he will stop and look at me and just smile.
-He also doesn't like it when I talk when I'm feeding him.

We have so much fun with him! He already makes us laugh all of the time!!

Here he is sitting up and eating rice cereal for the first time.

Teeth!!

Yesterday I noticed that one of Connor's top teeth is now coming in. This makes 3 teeth for him! I can't believe it, because I seriously thought he wouldn't get his first tooth until he is 6 months old. He is going to be 6 months old in less than a week, but he has 3 teeth!!! What the heck?? My baby doesn't want to be a baby. :(

Oh he is continuing to learn new sounds to make. Last week he was clicking his tongue a lot. This week he likes to grunt. Last night he was grunting so I did it back to him and we kept grunting back and forth a few times. He is so much fun! We love watching him learn new things.
