More pics.....





Serious or all smiles?? =)

Well, I can't believe that Connor is already a little over 2 months now!! Last week he went to his 2 month check up!! He's 12 lbs (almost doubled his weight since birth) and 22 1/2 inches long (he's already grown 4 1/2 inches!). I can't belive how fast he is growing! He had to get his first set of shots that day, and I think it was harder for me to watch than it was for him! He handled it like a champ though! He did cry for a minute (and after 3 shots in a row, I don't blame him), but he forgot about them pretty quickly after some loving from Mommy!

We recently made our move to the northwest part of Las Vegas. We're a lot further away from the city and kind of in the middle of nowhere now, but I think we kind of like it that way! Everyone including Thor has adjusted nicely so far! It's a bigger house, has a pool (that we've gotten to enjoy a little bit), and a bigger backyard for Thor to play around in. We're finally pretty settled in, but have some more work to do before everything is "complete".

Going back to our growing little man, he really is getting so strong! He has started kicking his little legs so much that he can move himself around on the ground a little bit! We've had to start strapping him into his bouncer and swing so he doesnt move himself right out of them!! He's also getting so good on his tummy! He is holding his head up so well! He can't keep it up for too too long, but he is getting better at tummy time everyday!! Although he looks like a very serious baby a lot of times, Connor has started smiling more and it is the cutest thing I have ever seen!! No matter what kind of mood I'm in, seeing that adorable little smiles melts my heart every time! It's been hard to capture it on the camera so far because it happens so fast and he gets very interested in the camera, but I've gotten a few pictures of it!! He has also recently started to communicate and "talk" with us more! We have even held a conversation for a few minutes with him going back and forth with us "coo"-ing and "ooh"-ing and "ahh"-ing =) It is the cutest thing!! We took him for his first swimming experience in the pool, and the water was a little too cold for him (he likes his warm bath water!) so he only stayed in for a few seconds. Hopefully next summer he'll be ready to go!!

We're gearing up for Connor's first Halloween!! He has a couple costumes to choose from, and we'll probably end up putting him in both, but no matter what he's going to be a cutie! While Daddy is going to be at the Dumont Sand Dunes for Halloween, Connor and Mommy are going to visit Sandy (my bestfriend from high school) and her son Andrew in Knoxville, Tennessee!! It will be Connor's first plane ride ever and I hope it goes smoothly for us!! Sandy's son in 2 1/2 months older than Connor so it's going to be fun seeing the two of them together! It's going to be hard though because it will be our first time away from Daddy since Connor was born. But before that happens we can't wait to get Connor to the pumpkin patch for his first pumpkin!! I'll make sure to post pictures!! All in all, October has been and will continue to be kind of a busy month!! But lots of fun too!!! Here are some pictures from the last couple weeks....
