Connor's 3rd Month

It is September and Connor is a ripening 3 month old! He is getting smarter and more handsome by the day. Everyday we are just thrilled to sit and watch and play with our darling little boy! He is so amazing and we are constantly saying how anxious we are to have more! We fall in love with this little boy more and more.

Connor Update:

Approximate Weight: 14.5 lbs
Approximate Height: 24.5 in
(No doctor’s appointment this month so the measurements might be off a little)

His eyes have decided to settle to a dark blue-gray very similar to Daddy. They are beautiful. He just started wearing Size 2 diapers and he is barely fitting in 0-3 month clothing anymore (some better than others), time to move up to 3-6 months. He spits up rarely. He HATES driving now, ever since our 4 hr trip to Boise. He doesn’t use the pacifier at all anymore. He doesn’t mind having his diaper changed anymore, he just stares up at the light. He is still loving bath time. And the swing is still one of his favorites! It is our solution to everything. His nails grow so fast we are constantly having to clip them and he still ends up leaving himself nasty scratches. He has started pinching, not a fan. It is the worst when his finger nails are long because it is a bad pinch and scratch all in one. He has now discovered the wonderful dancing and kicking his feet can do. He is also so alert! He takes the bottle really well, now that I am pumping regularly for him that is a good thing. His hair is still curly when it gets wet. So cute!

Fascinating Feetsies

It is amazing how the swing can turn my screaming monster,
into this peaceful perfect child. Love it!

 Connor is changing so much, he is growing so fast and learning so much!

Mommy and Daddy’s Favorites:

• Our baby’s breath
• Watching him sleep
• His smiles and squeals when he is excited
• He holds his hands together when he is nursing and sleeping sometimes
• Loud noises scare him but he is so easy going that he can be crying one second and you pick him up and he is a happy little clown
• He follows Mommy and Daddy with his eyes when we are in the room
• He still is smiling in his sleep, I wonder what he dreams…
• Connor's sleepy face
• He is sleeping pretty good at night, waking up once or twice for a quick feeding
• We love that he has taken interest in his feet now he will stare at them and grab them, and whenever he is on his back now his feet find their way in the air. I love to see him growing and discovering new things everyday.
• 
  This is sad, but when he gets scared he will flail his arms out to his sides and his eyes will get huge! It is so adorable!
