Lulu's Birthday

My attempt at a picture of the three kids with my parents!

Conner Three Months

At three months, Conner weighs 13 pounds. Unfortunately I know the exact weight because Conner had to visit the doctor this week. He has RSV with a double ear infection, so we are missing the Thomas family Christmas in hopes of Conner getting better.

Thanksgiving in South Carolina

This year we were in South Carolina for Thanksgiving. Maura, Brody and Conner had a great time visiting all of the aunts and uncles. I think the highlight of the trip for Maura and Brody was Uncle Matt teaching them to spit in the river. They have each done it in the bath tub several times since we have been home!

Conner Two Months Old

At his two month check up, Conner was 11lbs. 4oz. and was 23.5" long. He definitely has both Maura and Brody beat when they were two months old. Conner is just starting to coo and smile at us. Of course, Maura and Brody love making him smile!

Halloween

Both Mickey and Minnie pulled their ears off before we even got started, and Brody decided he didn't want any candy. Well we started out with two trick-or-treaters, but that quickly dropped to one because Brody wouldn't go up to one door. Maura went to several doors with Chris, and Brody just pulled the wagon around the whole time. Conner was a trooper just riding in his stroller. I managed to get a couple pictures before the costumes started being dismantled.

Conner Six Weeks

Conner is six weeks old today. If my scale is correct (and it was two weeks ago when we weighed Conner), then Conner is weighing over 11 lbs now. Wonder what he will be when we go later in November for his two month check-up? I was finally able to take five minutes to grab some shots of him while Maura and Brody were at school. They were thrilled to be having their Halloween party this morning, so they each wore a pumpkin shirt to the party.

Conner's First Trip to South Carolina

This weekend Conner had his first trip to visit the Thomas side of the family in South Carolina. Conner got to visit with all of his aunts and uncles, play with cousin Miley, and see his first buck! Unfortunately it wasn't Chris who shot the buck this weekend, but Uncle Scott did get a great one. Maura and Brody were more impressed with the buck being so big because they kept calling him "horsey!" We all look forward to going back at Thanksgiving.

Conner's First Bath

Conner had his first bath in his tub today. Maura and Brody both wanted to assist in bathing Conner. With Chris taking pictures, me bathing Conner, and two assistants on each side, it truly was a family event to give Conner a bath!

Poppell Farms

By Saturday, October 2 we were all ready to get out of the house. Chris and I took the three children to Poppell Farms for Maura and Brody to play and pick a pumpkin. We all thoroughly enjoyed the day, and all of the activity made everyone sleep soundly last night!

Conner Two Weeks Old

Conner is already two weeks old. Maura and Brody are continuing to help with feedings, diaper changes, and basically telling me what Conner "needs".

First Day of Preschool

Today was the first day of preschool for Maura and Brody. They were a bit shy going in to the classroom, but both quickly started playing in the kitchen. Chris and I were able to sneak out in hopes that no one shed a tear. I guess the teacher will let me know when I pick them up after lunch.

Brody was excited about saying cheese!

Maura liked her lunchbox because she thought it was a new purse!
