Conner 2 Months Old

Really? 2 months? What the heck? At least it is a huge compliment to him and my other children to say that the 2 months has flown by. I was not expecting that at all. I thought that the first couple of months with Conner was going to be rough. Kellen being such a mama's boy and all, and everyone saying that going from 2 to 3 was the Worst! But for me it has been heaven! Everyone is doing so well. Conner is such a sweet little monkey. We all love him so much!

Conner is doing really well. He is growing like a weed. Not quite as big of a weed as Kellen was, but right behind him. His stats at 8 weeks were 12lbs 14oz (82%) and 24 in long (90%). So obviously the little boy is thriving, which is always a big relief.

Some other things about Conner at 2 months:

-He is smiling a lot! He is happiest in the morning, but loves to be talked to and smiled at any time and he will surely give you a big smile back!

-He is cooing and squeaking and making those ADORABLE baby noises! Love them!

-He is sleeping about 5 hours at first at night and then sleeping 3 more and then gets up for good in the morning around 8ish.

-He does not really have a predictable day time napping schedule and it is driving me a bit nuts. I don't know if it's because of him or because of our hectic schedule, but I will be working on that a bit more in the month or so to come.

-He is starting to really enjoy his bouncy seat and swing.

-He watches toys and follows them with his eyes.

-He holds his head up really well.

-He likes tummy time, though he doesn't do a lot of lifting his head. He knows how to, he just chooses not to :)

At Conner's apt we also found out that he has a hemangioma (an irregular collection of red blood vessels that form a red blister looking thing) on his upper lip. It has been there since a few days after he was born. It has gotten darker in color and a little bit raised, but it really has not grown which gives us hope that it won't grow and will eventually go away. Most all hemangioma's go away by the time a kid is 5, but it could take up to 8 years old or so. We are to just watch it closely and if it does start to grow then they will treat it since it is located on his face. Otherwise we just let it take it's course and go away by itself. Hopefully that is what happens, but we are prepared for either. It has become a cute little part of him to us and I am just happy to have a healthy, and adorable, little boy

A very typical Conner expression

Smiles! And those cheeks of his have sure gotten chubby! I love 'em!

His hair is also really coming in. I swear he has close to as much hair right now as Makenna and Kellen had at 1! No Joke!

I know both of these are sort of goofy pics, but they do a good job showing his blue eyes!

Conner and Momma doing the laundry. He is a much better help than his older brother is :)

Really? Can my kiddos be cuter? So lucky!!!

Here is a video of Conner smiling. Such a sweetheart already!
