Sick Baby




Well Connor got his first cold. He started not feeling well last Tuesday and it's been getting worse all week. By Wednesday morning, he started coughing and sounded like a chain smoker. It is so sad to see him cough like that and watch him struggle to catch his breath. When he wasn't coughing he was wheezing a lot. After talking to the doctor a couple times, he said to just lay low, use the humidifier, nose drops, and make sure he didn't get a temp or get worse. We tried that for a few days but this morning he really looked bad and so we decided to take him to the walk in clinic at our doctor's office. He was able to see his doctor's partner doctor which was nice. Anyways, he said it was just a cold but wanted to treat it "aggressively" since he was so young and little. So here we are using a nebulizer every 6 hours, squirting nose drops in his nose and using the booger sucker outer thing (can't think of what it's called) every 2 hours, putting sterroid rash cream on his face, neck and chest a couple times a day, putting baby vicks vapor rub on his chest at night, and sleeping with a humidifier. Geesh. Hopefully he'll start to feel better really soon!




Christmas Time











Christmas was a little strange this year because of the whole snow storm thing. We still were able to do a couple of our normal Christmas gatherings, but some were cancelled due to weather. We were pretty bummed out because we had something pretty special to show off this year!




Snow









It snowed a TON here in December! I was pretty much stuck at home for over a week. Nick's car was stuck at his grandparents house in Tacoma for a week. It was pretty crazy how much snow we kept getting and how it just wouldn't melt! I think we are all really done with the whole snow thing!!!




First Bath

Waaaaaaaa.....I hate this!!!!



Please, put some clothes on me!!!

Thank you, much better!!









Another Photo Shoot







As a baby gift to Nick and I, my sister got us a photo shoot with her photographer friend Erin. She came to our house when Connor was only 10 days old to take a bunch of really cool pics. Here are a few of our favorites!



Tyra Photo Shoot











My best friend Tyra flew up to Washington to help us out with Connor! She took a risk and booked a ticket not knowing exactly when he would arrive. Well, it's like he knew she was coming and decided to arrive in the world just a few hours before she arrived in WA! Good timing. It was so great to have her around to answer all the silly first time mom questions. I wish she lived closer!!! While she was here, she took some cute pics of our little guy. These are a few of my favorites.
