Connor Rolls

Connor rolled over for the first time on Saturday April 24th!!! I did not get it on camera b/c I was trying to find my camera and all the sudden I turn to look at him and he was mid roll! He rolled from his tummy onto his back rolling on his right side. He did it again two more times at uncle Matt and auntie's Julie's house on Sunday, which I didn't have my camera then either! UGH! I thought Saturday was maybe a fluke but when he repeated his performance on Sunday we counted it as a milestone! Connor truly doesn't mind tummy time and does really well at holding his head up. My camera will be on and right next to me so we can try to capture him rolling over. In 11days Connor will finally be able to meet his uncle Jerame, or Germbutt as most people call him. Jerame has been in Costa Rica studying abroad and had to leave about 8 days before Connor was born. Connor is getting really excited to meet him!!

We are also all getting excited for my brother's wedding on May 21st which means that my sister Michelle, and her husband Nick, and my nephew Christopher who live in New Hampshire will be coming to MN!!!!!!! This will be the first time in 4 plus years that EVERYONE will be together again!!! We will be taking family photos when they are in town which should be very interesting b/c Christopher is almost 4, Nora is 2 and a half, Carter is 11 months, Marshall is 4 and half months, and Connor is 3 months. Does anyone know where we can find those guys who dress up in clown costumes for rodeos to corral the bulls in, b/c we will need someone to corral all these kids! Let's just say Christmas 2010 will be CRAZY! That's all for now, hope all is well with everyone and enjoy the pictures!!

These next pictures are of the quilt my aunt Sharon made from my Grandpa J's pants, shirts, and hankies. It is designed with puzzle pieces and all the suites of a deck of cards which were a few of the things my Grandpa loved to do. She does beautiful work and it turned out GREAT!

2 month check up

Connor 2 Months Old

Today was Connor's 2 month check up with his new pediatrician Dr Bryan and he did really good! He weighs 10lb 5oz (born at 7lb 11oz) and in the 20% for his age. He still has a ways to catch up to Marhsall and Carter!! He is 23inches long (born at 21inches) and in the 50% for his age. His head is 15 1/4 inches (born at 13inches) and in 25% for his age. Connor is smiling, cooing, and kicking his legs away these days! He is very smiley in the morning when we are both getting ready for the day. He seems to be a morning person which Jared and I both hope changes in the future b/c we both love to sleep in! Connor is not sleeping through the night but does have some good long stretches of sleep. Some nights he can go 5-6 hours without waking up, then other nights he gets up every 3 hours on the dot, but we take what we can get. Connor was able to watch his first Minnesota Twins game yesterday as he got to stay home with daddy and have a boys day together!

As I write this we (not me, I'm at work) are in the process of moving into a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, 2 level town home we are renting in Plymouth. We are most excited to finally be able to sleep in our king bed again!!! Connor will graduate from his pack and play to his crib tonight! For the past 2 months we have been living both at my parents house on the days Jared work and Jared's parents house the days he has off. Lots of back and forth and living out of bags, so it will be nice to finally get settled and have things in a permanent place. However, we all will miss Grammy, Grandpa J, Nana, and Granpda K as they have loved loved loved being able to spend time with Connor and watch him change. Connor will especially miss being able to cuddle and snuggle with them :(

All of these pictures were all taken before 7am! Told you he is a morning person!! When we get things unpacked and set up we will take pictures of our new place and more specifically Connor's room b/c we all know that is what people really want to see! Hope everyone has a great Easter!!!
