a wedding, fireworks and a 4 month old

4th of July Weekend:

Started with Lindsey and Chris' wedding in Coeur d' Alene on Friday. Nicole's mom and Jeremy watched Connor for the day while Nicole did the photography. It was the longest she's ever been seperated from Connor, while it went very well, Nicole doesn't plan to be away from him for that long again anytime soon...Here are just a taste of the over 2,000 pictures I got at the from the big day :-)








We spent Saturday and Sunday working around the house and hanging out with Jeremy's mom and brother. Monday we did some rental stuff, worked in the yard and even did a few fireworks with Connor :-)

Tummy Time!! He is getting VERY strong :-)

Connor and I looking at a firework, He was tired at this point, so he wasn't too interested.. he looked at the lights.. but that was about it :-/ o well.. next year :-)

Connor officially turned 4 months old on the 4th of July, so for this months photos, I decided to use Red White and Blue as my theme..

hmmm deep in thought :-)

SOO cute!

He wasn't really very into pictures, so I decided to feed him and let him take a nap... on the posing chair :-) that way I could at least get a few of him sleeping, then if he woke up in a good mood, we'd be ready to start taking pictures.. and guess what... He woke up happy :-)

See... happy kid after a cat nap :-)

again.. deep in thought, or just wondering why him mom is dancing around like she is crazy!

LOVE this face :-) He is sooo happy.. this is a very typical smile we see every day now! He was mid-giggle I believe :-)

Talk about a poser !!

He is sooo stinking cute!!

A few stats on Connor..
19.4 lbs, 26 1/4" long wearing 9-12 mo clothes and finally into size 2 shoes :-).. problem now is many don't fit because his feet are too fat! O well - it's summer, who needs shoes!
Connor has officially picked a favorite blankie (i'll be ordering a backup very soon :-)
He is very active-reaches and grabs all sorts of things! (he especially favors hair, mom's hair, dads' chest hair... ouch :-/ )
Connor is very smart with his hands.. We have this game where we make a fist and say "nuckles".. he will make a fist, then we "pound it". Then we put our hand up and say "high 5" he opens his fingers up and puts his hand on our hand.. We are starting to do "Hi Connor" and wiggle our fingers like we're waving, he's just starting to get the hang of it! Also working on the sign for "milk" when we nurse.. he's not caught onto that one as fast, but i'm sure he will soon :-) 
It is SOO fun watching how much he is learning and trying to figure things out! We are enjoying every stage... Soon he'll be mobile :-)
