Five Months... Father's Day Pictures

Well we had a couple of pose ideas in mind for Connor's 5 Month Old - Father's Day Themed Portraits, but he got VERY VERY cranky and tired after about 5 poses, so we're gonna finish up the rest of them in the next couple of days. But here are the ones that we got so far :-)

Five Months...

FIVE THINGS CONNOR LOVES AT FIVE MONTHS:

1. Taking baths... in sinks or tubs... he loves them all. In the big bath tub, he will lay down on the stretch netting thing, and he lays in the tub for as long as I'll let him. He loves kicking and splashing his legs.

2. Chewing on his hands. He's teething right now, and they are in his mouth 90% of the day. He's drooling a LOT, and goes through at least 5 bibs a day.

3. Sitting up in his high chair. He tried some food, but didn't love it, so we're gonna wait another month. But he loves sitting in his highchair. He'll just sit in there and play with his toys, and talk to me while I'm making dinner.



4. Reading books. He loves being read to. He LOVES colorful books. He'll read each of them a couple of times too.

5. Standing up. He loves to stand while you're holding him. He hates laying down. He also likes to stand up holding onto something. Here he's watching TV while standing up :-)

4 Months - Mother's Day Themed

I know I've already posted Connor's 4 Month Stats... but here are his 4 Month pictures :-)

This month was May and our theme was Mother's Day. Stay tuned for next month for June's Father's Day pictures :-)

Four Months Old

Connor is FOUR months old (on May 22nd)... can you believe it? I sure can't. He's 1/3 of a way to a year old. WOW!! He's getting so big every day, and he's a delight to have in our lives. We went to the doctor's this morning, and it was a great visit, besides the shots. He was happy, smiling and laughing at the nurses and doctor... until the nurse gave him his shots. Then he was very mad about being there, and has been pretty cranky up until about 30 minutes ago. Now he's laying on his play mat as we speak, squealing in delight :-)

Connor is 15 lbs. 13 oz. (in the 50th percentile for weight) and 25 1/2 inches long (in the 75th percentile for height). I can't believe he's grown 6 inches since he was born. Imagine if you grew 6 inches in 4 months?! Ouch!

Well the doctor said that he's a perfectly healthy and normal baby. She was surprised at how strong he is, especially holding his head up so well and trying to sit on his own. She also put him onto his stomach and he lifted his head completely up, turning to look at her, and then tried to crawl/wiggle/scoot a little forward, which he does at home all the time.

Well, I guess that's it for now... here are some 3 1/2 month pictures. I realize that we get his pictures taken quite often :-) I try to only go once a month, but I always seem to have them done more than that. This time was because there was a new photographer at work, and she needed practice with something other than a stuffed animal, so I had her take Connor's pictures :-) She kept saying over and over that babies hate her, and that they never smile, and she knew that he wouldn't smile for her... obviously she was wrong...
