Life at home with Baby Connor

Connor had his 2 week WCE today and is doing great. He weighed 8 lb 12 oz, so he's gained 1 lb 1 oz since birth (1 lb 6 oz since his last dr apt) YEAH!! He also measured 21 in long, which is an inch of growth in 2 weeks. He is in the 51% on weight and 66% on height.. he is going to be a big boy I have a feeling :-) Not that that surprises us, when his dad and uncles are all 6'2" or taller!

Here are a few photos of what we've been up to since we got home from the hospital.

Daisy is so into Connor.. we have decided we might need to change her name to Nanny! 
Nap with dad (and Daisy) 
Nap with mom in the sunshine 
One of Connors favorite things....Bathtime! 
Ahh.. So content! 
He is always so relaxed and alert after a bath...  
He loves this bouncy seat, especially the music.. he is a music loving kid! 
Just chillin on the couch!
The Grandmas checking out their handsome first grandchild! 
Another one of Connors favorite things... soft blankets, being swaddled and having his hands by his face 
Tummy Time with Mom!!! He loves to watch and listen to his rattle. He is also extremely strong. Already lifting and turning his head from side to side. He is also already able to use his legs to move himself forward a few inches (when he is bare foot on the foam mat)..Maybe he's going to be an athlete!.. hmm who knows? 
Tiny toes and fingers! SOO precious 
To remember his hair.. right now it is the same color as his Momma's and is straight as sticks.. 
SO far my favorite colors on him are orange and green... I love this one of him sleeping in his orange jacket from Uncle Brian (it's still a little big :-)
 
Before going into town.. This was the day he had his first official blow out.. it was while I was wearing him in my Baby K'Tan at JC Penney's..we had just gotten him out of the dirty clothes when he peed all over everything else.. talk about an initiation! We didn't stay at Penneys very long...:-) 
Another one of Connors favorite things.. SUNSHINE! It will calm him instantly.. I have a feeling we are going to have a beach bum on our hands.. he loves water and sun.. I guess our family vacations wil have to be in Hawaii... Oh Shucks! :-)

Getting adjusted to life at home with a baby has been easier than we expected. We love every aspect of it. Connor is a very easy going, calm baby and has already got his days and nights figured out (which mom and dad are loving!) Amazing how much can happen in 2 weeks and how much Connor changes every day.. he is really starting to get his baby fat :-)
