Three Months Old

Connor's three months old and getting bigger every day! This month he's fallen in love with his voice and enjoys laughing, squeeling and "talking" all the time. He is also rolling over half-way (almost there) and sleeping on his side.
He shows grandpa how he can mow with his feet:

All ready for his first Waynesville football game (he fell asleep after the second play) Check out the socks in the second picture:


Tailgating at the MU games (mom and Connor enjoy the tailgates before and after but shop during the games):

Going to church:

Connor likes his baths but LOVES drying off afterward:

I wear the pants in this house...

Connor has started to expand his wardrobe beyond onesies and a few church outfits. Sometimes he even wears pants. Here he is relaxing and playing on mom and dad's bed and on his own bed (note the MU mobile has now replaced the Cardinals one and will stay there unless the Cards make it into postseason play). He also finds socks a fascinating new experience.


Connor has been enjoying his bouncer seat. He loves sitting up in it, kicking and looking at himself in the mirror. His cousin Harrison probably recognizes both the seat and overalls in this picture.

GO TIGERS!

It was an exciting week to be a Tiger fan. Courtney went back to work full time Monday and had her first supervision duty Tuesday night. Colin and Connor went along to Buffalo High School to watch Waynesville play Buffalo in volleyball. Sounded good until we realized that Buffalo's gym is not air conditioned! Although it was a comfortable 75 degrees outside it was at least 95 in the gym. So Colin and Connor went to WalMart and bough Blades of Glory then sat in the car and watched it. Good thing Colin got his new car with a dvd player in it. Here are some pics of Connor in his Waynesville orange during the brief amount of time he spent watching volleyball. Which he did enjoy- especially the attention from all the high school girls!


Saturday we went to St. Louis for the MU-IL football game. Connor went with mom to see her friends Karri and Bryon while dad went to the game. Connor still sported his MU gear and actually watched the first half of the game. He enjoyed seeing Karri's girls and taking a nap during the second half of the game. We also had a great lunch with grandma, grandpa and Uncle Carter. Maybe the hat will fit by the MU-KU game?


Mom's friend Kate really hooked Connor up with some great MU gear. He's usually not a fan of the pacifier but he decided that he really like his MU one. Here he is enjoying the pacifier and the car ride to St. Louis.

Sports Fan

Connor is such a sports fan! He loves cheering on his St. Louis Cardinals. He also wears his Yankees outfits that Katie gave him. Although dad dislikes it so much he'll only let us show the picture of Connor crying in it. Coming soon..... Waynesville and MU Tiger gear along with some super cool Rams shoes!

My second month

This month I've been out visiting a lot more! I've gone to see mom, dad and grandma at work. I also went to see mom's friends Erin and Heather and her Aunt Kristy. I've been to Fortuna twice and got to celebrate Ma's birthday by watching everyone make homeade ice cream (and watching Katie and Andy in an exciting foot race!). I've been shopping with mom several times and celebrated my friend Madison's fifth birthday. I also got to meet Kinslee, my friend from Kansas City who comes down to visit her grandparents in Waynesville.
Mom has gone back to work part time and is preparing to go back full time soon. I'm laughing, smiling and singing all of the time. I'm even starting to nap in my crib, swing or pack and play. I stayed in a hotel for the first time and have been to several new restaurants.
I've started to notice my puppy Tiger and he's beginning to look a little bit less annoyed with me. I go to bed every night around 9:30 and only get up about twice until mom gets up at 5:00.
I weighed 13.6 lbs. at my two month check up and am now 23.5 inches long. I survived my first set of shots (as did mom and dad) and I'm looking forward to the fall, football season and a break from the heat!

I'm a model, you know what I mean.....

Connor loves modeling outfits for the camera! One day mom took pictures of him on all of the beautiful blankets that people have made for him (here are a couple). We also took a picture in our Clem Long outfit. When mom and dad were trying to pick out a name mom's Uncle Richard decided that we should stay with the "C" theme and suggested Clem for a boy's name. For some reason we decided to go with Connor instead but leave it to Richard to have an outfit made with Clem on it just in case!

Look at how big I'm getting!

Just a couple of pictures so you can see how much I'm changing and growing up. I'm now sleeping in my crib instead of my bassinet and instead of just laying in my swing and looking confused I now love to watch the colorful mobile- sometimes until I fall asleep!
