First Bath

So Connor's umbilical cord finally fell off on April 22nd. I can't believe it took over 7 weeks to come off. I feel like there is still a little bit left, I'm going ask the doctor about it at his 2 month appointment. Either way I decided it was time for the poor kid to have a bath. He did really well just laid there and looked at me. Brody was very interested. I tried to get him to get in with Connor but he was happy just being my helper.

Wondering what in the heck is going on.

April Has Flown By

April has been a crazy busy month for us. Mark went to Vegas the first weekend for a bachelor party. I was a little nervous about being home alone with both boys but they were both really good and we had a very nice weekend together. It also happened to be Easter weekend but we decided to just wait and celebrate Easter the next weekend because my family would be here. Syd, Kel, Shane and Eric all drove from Taos on Thursday and were hoping to make it all the way to Austin but ended up having some car trouble and had to stay the night in Abilene. Luckily the dealership was able to fix the car first thing in the morning and they made it to Austin that afternoon. My parents got here Saturday. Brody was so happy to have lots of visitors to play with. He did so good with every ones names. He is still calling grandma monkey but I think it's growing on her :) Sunday we celebrated Easter, we dyed eggs and did an Easter egg hunt. Brody had lots of fun with it. The rest of the week was spent eating at all our favorite Austin spots, shopping and being lazy. Kelley decided to trade in her car and get a new one, which was very exciting. Friday Mark's brother Ryan and his fiance Meghan came to visit. My mom babysat the boys and we all went downtown. It had been a long time since I had done that and it was a lot of fun. Saturday we had made a really yummy dinner and invited few friends over. We played some games and hung out at the house, it was a great night. It made me wish everyone lived in Austin. On Sunday everyone headed home. I was really sad when everyone left I love having family in town. Can't wait for the next visit.

5 Weeks Already

Connor is 5 weeks old today. I can't believe how fast time goes by. He is such a good baby. He loves to sleep and eat. He is very mellow and hardly ever cries. We are VERY lucky! I took him to the doctor today because I was concerned that his umbilical cord still hasn't fallen off. The doctor said that it's rare for it to stay on this long but nothing is wrong. We just have to keep waiting. He said it could be another month! I'm just relieved that everything is ok. They weighed him while we were there and he is already 11 pounds 14 ounces. He is such a big boy. Here are some recent pics of our little chunk :)

Doing what he does best.

Holding his head up!
