Connor flipping over

Connor is sleeping great lately, we've made huge breakthroughs with his naps lately and its really nice for me and much less stressful. He stays up for almost exactly an hour and a half and then its back to sleep again. He is a much happier baby when he gets in a couple of good nap.

Today all of the sudden Connor is flipping over onto his stomach in his crib. Once hes there he doesn't like it and he cries and we have to go up and flip him back over. He can go easily now from back to stomach, but still hasnt figured out how to go from stomach to back. This happened a few times today at his naps and then tonight I had to go up and flip him onto his back over 10 times before he finally stayed on his back.

Connor Napping Good

Connor is now napping good during the day, yah!! It was a struggle but he finally decided he needed the naps and now is regularly sleeping during the day for about an hour at a time without fighting it so much. Unfortunately we did lose our making it a full night sleeping, and now hes back to waking up once at night. Oh well, it was nice for the 2 days it lasted.

Connor can now sit in the stroller like a big boy. No more infant seat needed. He seems to really like being able to look around and see forward. Connor and me just got back from a short walk here.

Connor Sleeps Through the Night

Last night Connor made it through the entire night without waking up or feeding at all. He went to sleep around 7pm and woke up at 5:45am. Thats a pretty early wake up but we will take it cause he slept almost 11 hours. Naps are still a struggle but we are working on it and they are slowly getting a bit better.

This week Connor has decided he no longer likes his bouncy chair, last week that was still one of his favorites, my how quickly things change.

Look at me I can hold in my own pacifier

13 Week Videos

Here is Connor trying to walk a bit. Look at him pick up those feet. He loves to be in this position. Video taken by Grandpa Black with Grandma Black holding him up.


Here is Connor in his bouncy chair. First hes doing a little bit of jibber jabber and then you can see him playing with the toys. He knows now that when he plays with the toys the lights come on. Hes getting pretty good control of those arms now. Just a few weeks ago all he could do was flail them.

Almost 3 months old

Mom got me this cool bumbo, she didnt realize it was going to be pink though, oh well. Dont I look like such a big boy in it.



Connor has started really grabbing and holding onto things lately. Here he is in a lions onsie on gameday. Unfortunately the lions lost.


Brrr its been a little cold lately for San Diego. Time to pull out the warmer outfits.


I just love to stand up. Laying down is for other babies.



Connor really likes to play on his mat. Look at the legs go.

Grandma and Grandpa White visited us for the week and got to meet Connor. We had alot of fun playing with Connor, and relaxing in the pool.

All of the sudden Connor likes tummy time much more, hes even rolled over a few times now. Twice from his back to his stomach and once from his stomach to his back. Hes holding up his head super high and getting great control.

He had to get his first round of shots on tuesday and he was not a happy boy. Poor thing, his leg swelled all up and he was crying like crazy. Took both mom and dad lots of effort at distracting and cuddling to get him to finally calm down.

Connor and I have been going to a stroller exercise class 3 times a week and meeting lots of other moms and babies. Connor does really good for the most part and just sleeps most of the time during class.
