Sad Goodbyes

One final feast to end Mama Jo's visit.  Thanks Elizabeth and Dustin for hosting us!  To mark the occasion Connor made it through yet another photo session but some cute pics were the result.  He folded his hands...

Put on his Feltman Bros. gown and his monogramed shoes....

Got a kiss from Papa in solidarity for having to sit through the photo shoot...

Looked sweet for a short while...

And finally threw up his hands! Is this face not saying "Come on people, enough already, you are killing me here!"

We love you MJ, and will miss having you around!

Happy Birthday America!

Connor's first 4th of July parade started like this.....

And continued like this...

A little Snappy show off in the middle...

And it ended like this...

Does it count as a first parade if he doesn't even know he was there?

If it is Farmer's Market, it MUST be summer!

7/3/2010

You know it is summer in Lake Oswego when the whole town turns out for the farmer's market.  Connor had his first visit and his blanket had the chocolate from those yummy donuts to prove it!  Papa thought he was a pretty hot chick magnet holding the baby!

I swore I would never take a stroller to these things and who needs to with so many loving arms willing to hold the baby.  As usual, Connor snoozed through the whole morning.

Roll, Roll, Rollover?

Michael had a softball game, Papa was out of town, so Connor and I ventured out on our first solo trip!  The car ride to Snappy's was successful and we spent the evening with her and Mama Jo.  Snappy thought Connor needed "tummy time" and as we sat there talking to him he flipped himself over  - twice!  Mama Jo wasn't there to witness it so after dinner back on the floor he went and a few kicks, twists and turns and he was on his back.  He had a bit of a tummy ache so maybe that was the cause of the kicking and squirming...it has never happened since but we have a new realization that no matter how little he is we better not leave him on that changing table alone.

One small happy family!

One small happy family is all we really wanted when Grandma Susan arrived to take a picture for Michael's grandparents....apparently Connor was NOT in the mood.

A Baby Divided

You all know that we are a house divided and looks like we will have a baby divided too!

When Connor was first born and he was crying in my mom's arms, Michael handed her a blanket and she said she did not want it because it was the one I had just been holding and nursing him in and it probably smelled like me.  Well, that was all Michael needed to decide that he must have his OWN (smelly?) blanket for Connor.  Now if I could just get that orange fuzz off of everything!

But that is ok because really he is a Duck at heart!

Sweet Southern Baby Clothes

6/28/2010

Connor has a closet full of sweet southern baby clothes.  Who knew that the Pacific Northwest need much more cozy clothes.  But this Feltman Brothers gown looks pretty cute.  Now if it would just get warm enough for him to wear all these beautiful clothes Snappy and Mama Jo would like that!
