Connor meets Mr. Jonas
Mommy & Daddy took me to Dallas today to meet a friend and on the way home they stopped at Restoration Hardware to look around. Mom was wheeling my stroller by some people and they said “oh what a cute baby” I was.
Mommy turned to Daddy and said “I think that is a Jonas brother!”
Daddy said “No it wasn’t”
Mom said it was so Daddy went and asked Mr. Jonas for a picture. He was there with his wife and family and they were SO sweet! They shook our hands and introduced themselves. I had no idea they lived in Dallas. Kevin wanted to even hold Connor…it was so cute! They were the nicest people and genuinely as enthused to meet us too!

Sprinkler System 🙂
We are getting a sprinkler system installed next weekend so Terence won’t have to spend three hours watering the yard! Woohoo! I’m sure it will be very nice and we’ll have more free time together.
What are you in LOVE with this week?
Growing Boy
Daddy took you to your 4 month doctor appointment today and he said you did so good! Mommy had to work, but you got an excellent report! You are 60th % for weight, 90th % for height, and 95% for head. Daddy said you didn’t cry when they first gave you your shots, but by the third one you were not too happy! I wish I was there to hold you all the times when you cry my sweet boy! You are so strong and LOOOOVE to try and stand up! You are growing so quickly right before our eyes and we are so blessed by your little life and couldn’t imagine our life without YOU in it! Love, Mommy
Photography Lesson 2
I’ve had this camera for about 5 years now. I think the newer version of it is a Nikon D90. The best site I’ve found for camera reviews and lenses is at Ken Rockwell. You can look up whatever camera you want and it has excellent tips and reviews.
I personally would NOT buy a camera kit. If you are thinking of purchasing a nice camera I would buy the body and lens separately. Usually the lenses that come with camera kits are crappy. The key to a great photo is a great lens. One of my favorite lenses is the Tokina 11-16 mm lens
Here I am standing right in FRONT of Connor, but you would never know because it gets the whole room in
Crazy Long Weekend
Connor has had a CRAZY growth spurt all weekend…it’s like he has a bottomless pit for a stomach or something. I think this kid has probably gained a pound in just two days! He’s also been sleeping a lot more. I have been very strict on his diet. I had a lot of trouble in the beginning getting him to breastfeed so I have been strictly pumping since we got home from the hospital. It is rough, but I am proud I have been able to stick with it. It’s a LOT of dishes and takes a lot of discipline to get up and make myself pump all the time, a couple cases of mastitis, and pumping in the car a LOT! LOL! It’s definitely had it’s challenges, but my husband has been my biggest supporter and I’m so glad that even though I wasn’t able to breastfeed I didn’t give up and continued to give my baby breast milk. It’s a very personal decision for everyone, and I’m not saying it’s bad at all if you didn’t breastfeed…I am just saying I have worked hard and had several breakdowns to get to his point….it’s definitely harder than I ever thought!
Okay- and with that said I worry about what and when to feed him. Well, not really worrying because I know he is being fed plenty. I don’t want to give him cereal or baby food because American Pediatric Guidelines recommend only breast milk for the first six months. I’m sure that every baby is different and they will be just fine regardless. When did you start baby foods and why?
Proof that he has a bottomless stomach right now….he sprayed my ENTIRE wall here and got pee all over himself (his shirt is soaked!) and all over the changing table. He was like a continuous fountain! Terence tried to cover it up but it kept going and going and going…..
Today we went grocery shopping, to Babies R Us, and we grilled out again for dinner. Of course we had our coffee fix too 🙂 We also had to go to Lowe’s to get a new mailbox because somebody blew up our mailbox yesterday with a firework! Crazy people!!!! Who does that???
We are off to bed and back to work tomorrow 🙁
Hope you all had a good weekend!
