A New Chapter

          The birth of Connor has begun a new chapter in our life. Aaron and I thought creating a blog would be the perfect way to share our day-to-day life with all our family and friends. We don't want for you all to miss all the fun and important stuff that is happening because we live so far away! I am going to start with a short recap of the last couple months.

On April 9,2013 at 1:56 pm, our sweet little Connor was born.

 

He was perfect in every way. He weighed in at 7 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 inches long. 

We loved him so much from the first moment we saw him.

He went home from the hospital on April 11. He got to meet his "big sister" Kylie. She is such a sweet dog and is so gentle with him.

My mom stayed with us for about a month. I don't know what I would have done without her. She was so much help! My dad came to visit when Connor was about 2 1/2 weeks old. I was so sad when they had to go back home to Texas :(

About a week after my parents left, Aaron's dad came to visit. We loved having him stay with us for the weekend.

On May 12, I celebrated my first Mother's Day. It was so special!

From May 18-June 7 we took a roadtrip to Texas! We had so much fun, but it was a looooong drive. There are way too many pictures to share, but these are some of our favorite!

Connor loved meeting his Mimi for the first time!

Connor with his Auntie Chrissy and Uncle Ryan. They were so sweet to let us stay with them for over a week!

  Auntie Lisa and Uncle Nick spoiled him!

Cousin Timmy and Ellie loved playing with Connor. Ellie was such a good little babysitter.

We got to visit my Grandpa, Connor's Great Grandpa for a few hours. It was so special. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Connor loves his daddy.

My turn to hold my little man!

 

When we got back from Texas, Connor had his 2 month doctors appointment. He gained so much weight. He weighed in at 13 pounds 10 ounces and 22 inches long! Oh my is he getting big! He was so good at his appointment, minus almost peeing on his doctor. Haha! He also had to get his 2 month immunizations. Thank goodness Aaron was there to help hold him. I stood as far away as possible, and maybe shed a tear, or two. I gave him a bottle immediately after his shots, so he only cried for a few seconds.

On June 16 Aaron got to celebrate his first Father's Day.

         There ya go! Now you're all caught up on Connor's first couple months of his life. I can't wait to share more with you!
