Smiling Baby

I probably spent 20 minutes today trying to catch a smile from Connor. He was being so cute, but every time I took a picture he would look away or the smile would disappear. This was the only one I got.

Family Photo

Here is the family! It has been such a long time since we have had a family picture taken. I think Sarah was still a baby, and now she is fourteen. It was a lot of fun, and they took so many pictures of us. We got some really cute pictures of Connor and a good family portrait Andrew, the baby, and me.

Today we all went to have our pictures taken -- Mom, Dad, John, Sarah, me, Andrew, Connor, Nicole, Joe, Jaime, Aimee, and Paul. We got some good family pictures and some cute pictures of Connor. He was being kind of grumpy at the beginning, but then he cheered up. He is such a darling baby!

Jaime and Connor

Jaime is such a great cousin! She loves to hold Connor and help change his diaper. She calls him, "My baby cousin," or sometimes, "My baby sister cousin." I'm not sure where that sister part comes from. Maybe she wants a baby sister but figures that Connor will have to do.

Connor at the Hospital

This is baby Connor right after he was born. He weighted 5 pounds 11 ounces and was 17 inches long. He also had an enormous cone head. The doctor pulled him out and then said "Look, it's Connor Conehead!" Poor baby. Even with his head so squished he was such a beautiful newborn.

Our Family

This is our little family. Andrew is a great Dad. He changes diapers, takes care of the baby at night, and still occasionally makes me dinner. He works full time at Nestle in the QA department and then goes to school in the evening at UVU.

I recently quit work to start a new, better job -- taking care Connor. It hasn't been easy, but I love staying home with my baby. He is such a sweetie.

Connor turned two months on July 21. He now weighs about 10 pounds and is growing back the hair he lost on the top of his head. He also has the cutest smile. I love it when he smiles back at me. He eats all the time, sleeps, and poops. We love him so much.
