Handsome little man....

He is just the cuttest thing I've ever seen!

6 weeks...

I cannot believe my baby is 6 weeks old already. It really does go by fast! The chair is a little big, but he will grow into it.

His hair is a mess!

Today marks the first day my little boy smiled at me! It was heart melting! I had a tear come down my face. I have yet to be able to snap a picture, but I am determined to get one ASAP!

He is starting to grow into his forehead. His wrinkles are getting smaller and smaller.

In this picture, he looks like my sister Candi and I when we were babies.

Celebration for Jeff....

For Jeff's birthday we went with some of our friends to Maggiano's Italian Restaurant. We sung Happy Birthday to him and I am sure he was embarrassed! Becky and Grant

Birthday Boy

All of us at Aromas

Stephanie and Sean

The girls, not sure where Claudia was.

Thanks to all of our friends for celebrating Jeff's birthday and going around baby Conner's schedule! Jeff did not want to leave, but I just couldn't be away from my baby any longer.

So adorable...

After the bath today, I decided to snap a few photos since he was so awake. He is just too cute for words!! Conner loves a bath. He just lays in his little tub and sucks on his hand and coos the entire time.

This is my old stuffed turtle. My mom and I were in Ocean City, MD a few weeks before I moved to FL 6 years ago in August. Her and I played a game for hours and spent so much money because I wanted this turtle. Here it is! I put it in Conner's room and one day he will love it.

Conner's night...

Tonight we had plans to go out to dinner with our friends to celebrate Jeff's birthday. We were just going to take Conner, but I figured since my mom was in town, she would love to watch him. Everyday this past week I pumped at least once a day to make sure he had enough milk while we were gone. We still have some to spare.

So sweet

....and he is milk drunk!

All though we were only gone 5 hours, I have never missed anyone so much in my life! I kept looking at the pictures on my phone and hearing his little cry! I know it's good for him and I but it was very hard!

So Ladie like...

I was walking towards the hallway to get little man and there is Mya, with her legs crossed. It was pretty funny. And then she just sat there allowing me to snap a few pictures.

How amazing...

It is so amazing how much Conner still looks like he did when only 28 weeks in utero. Look and compare yourself.

He is growing fast..

Conner had a well check today. I am so excited to say my baby boy weighs 8 lbs 6 oz, in the 25th percentile, he still a tiny little thing! He is 21 3/4 long, 50th percentile. He is doing perfect. He goes back 8/17 and he is going to get lots of shots, yuck! When the nurse weighed him, I jumped up and down and was so excited of his big weight gain. I almost shed a tear knowing I gave him that from my body. I produce the nourishment he needs. Breastfeeding is painful and time consuming; but, the way I felt today when I heard his weight gain, was worth all the pain in the world. I do it for my son, how amazing!

Conner sleeping...

Conner was sleeping in Mom-Mom's arms. He finally moved his liitle hands and made the Peace sign!

Grandma's Love...

Yesterday I picked my mommy up from the airport. It is the first time baby Conner gets to meet his Mom-Mom. She sat in the back with Conner on the way home and fell in love! Looking at her youngest grandson. She has not had a grandson in 9 years! She said she can see Jeff in him but can see me too.

Aww, Conner your Mom-Mom loves you dearly and it's too bad she lives so far away.

Such a cutie....

He was just wide awake on Mom-Mom's shoulder. He is just so perfect

Daisey's new buddy...

Crazy hair! Jeff's neice, Zoe is in FL for the summer. Das and Zoe both had crazy hair! I am so glad the dogs have Zoe to play with them. They love Zoe!

One month...

Today my baby is 4 weeks old! He has changed so much it is unbelievable. He is just so perfect.

Ouch...

...is not all I said as I found a wasp crawling on my neck, with the baby in my arms. As I felt something crawling on my neck I grabbed it and saw it was a wasp. Some how it stung my neck 3 times and then again on my finger. I started to flip out because the baby was in my arms and I was so afraid it got him, plus I am deathly allergic to bees my throat closes up. Did I mention that I was in my house!? Yes, the wasp was inside crawling on me, YUCK. Jeff ran inside and I yelled to get me benadryl ASAP. He grabbed 2 pills and I drank it with hot water for them to work faster. I am fine but have 3 huge marks on the side of my face ad it itches SOOO bad. I just thank the lord the wasp got me and not my baby boy.

second try, Conner took a bottle....

Daddy gave Conner his first bottle tonight. It took about 5 minutes to get him to take it, I had to help and teach Jeff how to do it. It was very cute!! Once Conner got hold of it, He just keep sucking!

We will do the bottle thing maybe 1 or 2 times a week. I do not want him to get use to the bottle and then not want my breast, that would just break my heart! Plus, I really do not like pumping!
