Just an Update

Well there's not a lot to report around here. Just a lot of feeding, changing, and trying to get Conner to sleep and then doing it all over again. And again. We are pretty excited that Conner started sleeping for about 6 hours straight in the night. It came just in time too because Cade and I were really getting close to losing it. Cade's been wishing I was pregnant again because I'm a lot nicer when I'm not weeks behind on sleep :) Now we would just like it if he would take naps laying down in his crib and not in someone's arms or his swing and go to be before midnight. We got one laugh out of Conner (of course it was in his sleep) but he is smiling now and will play on the floor for awhile so this whole parenting thing is starting to be a little fun and not all work.

At 2 months Conner now weighs 10 lbs 14 oz (21st percentile) and is 22 inches long (12th percentile). And with a head circumference of 40 cm it's in the 81st percentile! We've decided we have one smart cookie on our hands. (Ok I know, head size doesn't determine smarts, but its better than just calling him fat head.)

Oh happy day, we're using the bumbo! He isn't really proficient in it and falls to the side, but it works well enough to get a couple of dishes done or eat with two hands.

Sorry mom, I know I promised pictures but it turns out I've only taken these two since my last post. I guess I take after you in taking pictures. :)

Happy New Year!

Our new year's weekend started off with a great snow storm. It was enough to totally cover the ground and stick around for a few days but not enough to have to shovel :)



Then we headed for Hurricane, Utah. We decided to go through Las Vegas so we could avoid all the snow in Flagstaff and on the reservation. So we made a stop at the new bridge at Hoover Dam. Unfortunately while you drive across the bridge you can't see much of anything but you can park and walk across. It made my legs shake a little but was fun to see.



We made it to Utah around 8:00 on New Year's Eve and spent the evening with Cade's cousins playing games and catching up. On Saturday Cade and the other guys spent the morning rounding up cows and transporting them to another field that wasn't covered in snow so they could eat. It took about 3 hours to get a calf that escaped while it was being loading up. Of course Cade had a great time. Later in the day we visited his Ewell grandparents. On Sunday we drove to Cedar City and visited Whit and Tiffany. Nothing too exciting on this trip but it was fun to see everyone again and see the area covered in snow. We were also terrible at taking pictures and only took these two pictures with grandma and grandpa Ewell. Hopefully we'll soon start taking pictures again that don't all revolve around Conner.
