Things have been busy and we are long over due for some pictures!! But don't worry, I have already been snapping some for Week 8, which Connor is today! Happy 8 week Birthday little guy! Oma says he is not officially 2 months until the 1st...so we'll call it 8 weeks.
Anyways, we are enjoying the changes we see in Connor everyday. He is smiling all the time now!! He is such a happy baby! The sleep intervals at night are getting longer....he is averaging 5 hours straight...sometimes more and sometimes less. We have been doing a bedtime routine of a bath, feeding, and a book. And it seems to be working because it is not as hard to get him down at night! He is also getting to be quite a chubs!! We weighed him over the weekend and he is 14 pounds!!! What a big boy!! He is already outgrowing clothes, and is mostly wearing his 3-6 month stuff now!
We have his 2 month appt. next week, so we are anxious to hear what the doctor has to say!

FINALLY SOME VIDEO!!!
Hello!
We have been slackers about uploading video. I have some from when Connor was only days old...but I thought I would start with a little one I took yesterday morning (he is 6 weeks old). Connor is always so happy in the mornings....and now that he is smiling A LOT...I thought I would try and capture some of that... So here it is just a minute of it...because I know that the grandmas are dying to see more than just pictures!
Also there is one of his first bath. This was a few weeks ago...I think he was 4 weeks old here.
Give me some time and I will get some of the really early video posted!! Gosh how he has changed so much already!! More the reason, we need to be better about filming him often!

1st Mother's Day
Just wanted to share a few pictures from our first mother's day with Connor!
It was a wonderful day!! Daddy took the night feeding all by himself and allowed me to get a full night sleep! The first time in nearly 6 weeks! We went to church and then to brunch on Sunday afternoon. Connor did really well being out all day! We are getting more comfortable and braver taking him places. I am still nursing him, but being able to use a bottle is giving us a lot more freedom!
I don't think I truly appreciated mother's day until I became a mother! What a new respect and admiration I have now for my mother and her mother....and all mother's!! A mother's love is truly a blessing!

Happy 1 Month Birthday!
Yes!! Connor turned 1 month old last Friday! We went for our BIG 1 month check up today. The doctor said Connor weighs 11 pounds and 3 ounces, and is 23 inches long. He is certainly growing fast. He is in the 90th percentile for his weight and length. Daddy thinks we are going to have a big boy....I think he is hoping for a little Tim Tebow :)
We have been quite busy with more visitors. After Grandma and Grandpa Doehne left, Pops arrived for a week. We went for our first mall outing while he was here and got a little shopping done. We also took Connor to church for the first time. He did great!! The pastors blessed a rose and had it at the alter in honor of his birth. We are looking forward to baptizing him in August!
Then Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Rob arrived for a weekend visit. Connor did very well on his first out to dinner experience while they were here!
We also gave Connor his first bath! He loved it!!! Until we took him out of the water....when he got cold and began to scream. We have since learned our lesson and the subsequent baths have gone much better!
Below are some pictures over the last few weeks.
More to come soon, as we share our very first Mother's Day together!!
