3 Months plus More

Another month has gone by and our little man is growing like a weed. And do I mean like a weed, hard to believe but he is wearing 6-9 month onesies (he has a long torso). His pants are still 3-6 months though. He has lost all of his jaundice because he is now as white as Larry and I. It was pretty funny...the other day Larry came in and asked if he was ok because he was white. He is pretty attached to me and it drives Larry crazy sometime but I spend all day with the little guy so I can see how he is more attached to me. We have started to put him in his crib in his room at night but he doesn't usually stay in there the whole night. He still wakes up several times a night to eat so sometimes it is just easier to put him back in his bassinet. I love to just sit and watch all his funny facial expressions. He has gotten his own little personality in the last month which is great. Watching him grow and change are the highlights of my days.

Grandpa Larry came to visit a couple weekends ago which was great. He got to spend time with the little man and he even helped Larry build me flower boxes.

We have been busy working on the backyard. I decided one day while I was sitting out there that I really disliked the yard. We have been getting rid of all the horribly ugly concrete chunks that make up the retaining wall in the yard. We made a new wall out of landscaping timbers and I am turning it into a raised garden area. We just have to hope the dogs don't jump into it to often. Calloway has been pretty good about going around it so far and Maggie just doesn't seem to care. I also put paver stones under the dinning room window where there was just dirt so that I could put planters there. It is all coming together and I can't wait till it is done!

We had a big wind storm and this large branch got blown out of the tree

Connor's first Easter was this past weekend. He got his very first Easter basket. It had a few new onesies, the Toy Story DVD, and candy for mom and dad in it.

2 Months Old

So the little man turned 2 months old on the 27th of Feb. I can not believe that it has already been that long, how time flies!!! He went in for his check up this past Wednesday and he weighed 12 lbs. 7.5 oz and was 24 inches long. He is getting so long, his 3 month cloths fit him perfectly and he is not even that old. Anyhow, other news since my last post. The first part of Feb. we went up to Cripple Creek to the Ice Festival. It was really neat to see all the different carvings and to watch them being carved. While we where up there Larry played a little poker and won a few hundred dollars. Also Grandma Diane came and visited 2 weekends ago. She was having Auggie withdrawals so she came up for the weekend. She could not believe how big he had gotten since she seen him last. While Auggie and I have just been hanging out at home for the last month Larry has been doing some mountain training. He has been up Pikes Peak several times and he also has been ice climbing. Well that's about it but here are a few new pictures of the little man.

1 Month Old

Our little guy turned a month old today...I can not believe how fast time goes by!! He is changing and growing everyday. He is finally able to wear his 0-3 month clothes instead of just newborn outfits. Mom or Meme as the grandkids call her is headed home in a few days. She is going to miss the little guy but is happy to be getting home to dad and Arlo. She will have to survive on pictures until she can see him again when we are all in Phoenix in April. Speaking of pictures here are a few new ones for your viewing pleasure.

Connor Augustus Bodwell

Connor was born on 27 Dec. 2009 at 4:43pm. Larry had just gotten back from his deployment at 12:30pm that afternoon. Connor decided he wasn't going to wait any long and I did tell him he had to wait till his daddy got home. I guess I didn't specify how long he had to wait after his dad got home to be born, he came 3 weeks early. So here are some pictures of our little guy.
