Growth Chart

One of my 6th grade boys and his mom made this for Connor as an end of the year gift. I had such a great class this year! I am seriously going to miss them!

First Swim

We went down to Nick's dad's house to take Connor for his first swim in the pool. After soaking the baby in sunscreen, putting on his swim trucks, swim shirt, sun hat, life jacket, and turtle float toy, we were ready to go. :) He LOVED it. He stayed in the water for 2 hours!

Sitting Up

Right at about 6 months, Connor started to sit up on his own. Now it's his favorite thing to do! At his 6th month doctor's appointment, he weighed in at 19 pounds and was 27 inches long. This puts him in the 75% for both height and weight. He is a big boy!

Croquet

We had our friends Kent and Rachel over for a BBQ a few weeks ago. We wanted to play croquet but Connor wanted our full attention and refused to just watch. I decided to try to play with him in the baby carrier...and guess who came in first place?? Yep, I guess croquet is my long lost talent. :)

6th Grade Camp + Business Trip = Auntie M babysits

From May 19th-21st, I had to go to 6th Grade Camp and Nick was in California for business, so my sister said she would take care of Connor for us! They had a great time! Thanks Auntie M for doing this for us!!! When she was here I think she took about 500,000 pictures of the little guy. Here are a few of my favorites!

Mother's Day

Connor's 1st Mother's Day

My present!

Nick & Connor's "gift wrap"

I had a great first Mother's Day as a mom! It started on Saturday when I spent the day in South Center with my mom and sister. We shopped and ate dinner at the Cheesecake Factory! It was a fun day!

When Nick asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day I told him the only thing I wanted was a good solid night sleep. So this morning Nick got up with Connor and let me sleep in! It felt AMAZING!! You forget how nice it is to sleep once you have kids!! When I (finally) came downstairs today, Nick had put my present out for me to find. He bought me a set of three wooden vases that I have been wanting to go up on our ledge thing in our entry way. After we got ready for the day, we had brunch with Nick's mom, Travis, Amy, and the kids and then spent the rest of the day hanging out together as a little family at home. I'm liking this Mother's Day stuff!!
