Memorial Day Weekend

Connor had a very busy holiday weekend full of parties, a trip to the park, and visitors. On Saturday we celebrated his grandfather's birthday. Connor assisted in blowing out all 49 candles.

On Sunday, the three of us and Joey went to Colt State Park for Connor's first day trip. The weather was perfect and we all enjoyed a long walk by the water.

Bath Time

This past Saturday Connor was able to have his first bath. Since he didn't seem to like it very much I promised him I would not post any nude pictures of him.

A Day in the Life of Connor

Well...it has been a week since we have been home from the hospital and Connor seems to be getting used to his new home. Below are some pictures of his daily activities.

Connor's favorite daytime activity- swinging in his swing

Lounging around with Joey

Trying on new gifts from family and friends

Eating with Mom

Watching TV at night with Dad

Crying...

...and finally sleeping after a long day

Just wanted to post Connor's first video of him on his belly. As you can see he still needs some practice but he is getting stronger by the day.

Connor's First Days Home

Connor has been home for 4 days now and everything has been going well. Although we have had some long nights, Connor seems to be adjusting to his new home. We have had many first over the past few days including his first walk and first trip to the both grandparents houses. Below are some pictures of his exciting adventures.

Connor Comes Home

Yesterday, both Dawn and Connor were released from hospital after receiving an excellent bill of health. Connor screamed all the way out of the hospital in his special Going Home outfit but decided to sleep all the way home (all of 5 minutes). Once at home we had a big celebration with the family which included Dawn's favorite champagne.

Day 2 for Connor

Day 2 for Connor at the hospital was an exciting day. He had a great time sleeping, eating, and pooping all day....all the best things to do on your second day of life. Thank you to everyone for your congrats, gifts, and visits while we are in the hospital. It has been an amazing experience and both Dawn and I are happy we can share it with all our friends and family. Both Connor and Dawn are doing great and we expect to be able to go home tomorrow morning. Below are some pictures of today's excitement.

Connor Has Arrived

After much anticipation Connor made his arrival yesterday. And even though he decided to come right as soon as we were going to sleep on Sunday night from a long day he didn't seem at all tired to meet his family. Here are some pictures. Don't worry - there will be more to come.
