Yesterday we took Connor in for his 2 month Check-up! He is weighing in at 9lbs 7oz and measuring 23.75 inches long! That is one long and lean baby! I sure wish I had his metabolism! If I ate every 2 hours like he did, I would be HUGE! His shots went well.....I thought I would LOSE it when the nurse told me to hold his hands down so that he couldn't move them, but I didn't! I teared up before we even got into the office...lol....but I hung in there and didn't shed one single tear when she stuck him. Bless his heart, when she gave him his first shot (there were 3), he screamed his mad scream, his face turned red, and his tongue was shaking....but overall, he did really well. He is sleeping good at night, only getting up once between 11pm and 6am. That is definitely feasible in this household. After he eats at 6am, he goes back to sleep until 9 or so, but when I go back to work, I will need to get up at 6, so as long as he keeps it up, this should work out well :) OH, and speaking of sleeping, Connor has been sleeping his crib now for over a week! Way to go big boy!! It's nice to have him out of our room so that I don't have to tiptoe around to get ready for bed, and if I have the energy, I can read a little before turning out the lights.
Sunday, we took Connor to the Lodge at Mt. Magazine. It was a much longer car ride than I thought, so Connor was less than cooperative.....poor guy. He screamed at us from Fort Smith to Paris...that's about a 40 minute drive. Nothing like a screaming baby in the backseat of the car to make ya feel bad! Lol! But the scenery was beautiful and we managed to snap a few pics! I would like to make a trip back in the fall as the leaves are changing colors.
Connor went to his first Birthday party this past weekend. Our sweet Godson, Benton, is turning 2 on June 4th, but we celebrated this past weekend with a sprinkler, some hotdogs, and of course, cake and homemade ice cream! As you can see, the Birthday Boy was really into his cupcake. Don't you just LOVE his hair :) Connor was all decked out in his swim trunks, but passed out 20 minutes after we got to the party. I kept calling him the "party pooper." Shame on me....when I picked him up out of his stroller, the term "party pooper" was MILD compared to what my precious baby boy had done.....yikes! Luckily, 
Benton lives across the street, so we just came home, cleaned up, and headed back over. This incident was one of many that we had encountered over the past week or so. PROBLEM: Almost everytime I would feed Connor, he would pee out the side of his diaper, all over mommy (yeah). Every morning when I would get him out of bed, he had peed all over his jammies, and we have had several explosive poop diapers. SOLUTION: Time to go up a size in diapers! I pulled a size 1 out of the package and it just seemed so BIG, but after 3 days of using them, we haven't had a single accident.....so I guess we have graduated from Newborn diapers! I'm not really saaaaad about it, just amazed with how quickly it goes by. I probably say that in every single post, but I just can't get over how the time is flying by!

His little legs look so long and skinny! He is precious! He looks more alert! It is amazing how they start to turn into people.
