A visit from Great Gramma & Auntie Susan

Great Gramma Opal and Auntie Sus came from Seattle to meet Connor this past week. Not only did they get to meet him, but they also got to babysit! We had such a nice time having them around and Connor misses telling them so many stories.

(I love this picture)

Grandma Karen and Grandpa Jerry came to stay with all of us on Saturday and we kicked off Halloween week with a pumpkin carving contest! The votes are still being tallied up - it seems to be a close one for Karen, Chad and Sus...apparently, Mindy's wasn't a big hit.

We felt it only appropriate to get Connor in his monkey costume for a few shots. He managed to put in about 4 minutes before melting, so these are the highlights:

Connor Meets Grandpa Knox

Last weekend, Connor got to meet his Grandpa Knox and Cindy who were visiting from Minnesota. We strolled in the chilly weather, went out to dinner and watched a lot of football. He loved getting so much attention and he especially loved the helium balloon they brought him (which is still capturing his attention for hours each day).

So many new things!

Connor is now 3 months old and he has experienced a number of new things over the past few weeks...

He started sleeping through the night about 2 weeks ago! It lasted for a few nights and then he regressed to getting up for a bottle after 6-7 hours. Last night he made it through 9 hours, so we're getting close...

He is becoming more dexterous with his hands and he now reaches for his toys and his blanket (to shove in his mouth, naturally). He also knows how to roll over from his belly to his back. We are proud of his accomplishments but, on the other hand, it means that we can no longer leave him unattended on the couch while we walk away to do something.

Mommy headed back to work this past week (she is lucky enough to only have to go in 2 days a week) and so Connor spends Tuesday's and Thursday's with our nanny, Blanca. Amazingly, there were no tears shed during this initial separation period and Connor eats up all of the personal attention he gets from her.

...and, yes, he just keeps getting cuter and cuter with each passing day...

Football Sundays!

Connor's not quite sure where his football allegiances lie. We seem to think it's with the Seahawks since he did a lot less crying during their game as opposed to the Vikings game.
