The Boy is Growin'!

Ever since my helpers have left it seems as though it has been a bit harder to find time to blog! In fact, it has been a lot harder to find time to do lots of things! Conner claimed the other day that he has taken the role of "The father, mother, brother, and sister....I'm just the "feeder" " He is right though! I kind of am a slacker. I use to be VERY good at always having my dishes cleaned, bed made, and house picked up....well things have kinda changed. We have a love sac in our living room that for awhile seemed to be Conner's closet. He would come home from work and gently lay his clothes out nice and neat for everyone to see. Well, my bickering has taught him a lesson, but now as I look over to my left I notice that the love sac is now a mountain of my clothes! I counted yesterday, yep 8 shirts of mine have been left behind! I have no idea how they got there! It is probably not good that I am telling you all this, but I assure you I told my hubby that today will be my 'clean up the love sac chore'! It is not quite the fact that being a mother has taken over ever spare time that I have avaliable, it is more that we are moving this week so if we have to do a big clean out on Saturday, why would I seriously want to waste my time cleaning now as well? :S Yes I know...I'm horrible!

As for the baby boy, he is doing GREAT! We love him so stinkin much! He still just does his daily routine which consists of sleeping, eating, and pooping! He does a great job at those things, he makes us very proud! ;) He really is a good sleeper though so we are very lucky at that! I would tell my mom how he did in the night and I told her "He woke up at 5:00, 8:00, and 11:00" She told me that I don't count 8:00 and 11:00 because I guess that is when most people start their day. So really, he only wakes up one time in the night! :)

At his two weeks doctors appointment he had gained nearly a pound and has grown an inch. (8 lb 2 oz, 21 1/2 in. )

I don't really know what else you talk about with a new baby because he I pretty much explained all that he's been up to already (sleeping, eating, and pooping) So, I will just post some pictures!


Nixon made his first trip down to Grandma and Bampa's house for Easter! I was SO-O excited to take him home! My mom's family was all out camping, and I didn't really want to take him out there so my family was sweet enough to all just stay home and color eggs! Tanner loved coloring eggs this year- he was very creative with his decorating. Every single egg was BLUE!! We had a lot of fun coloring eggs and finding our easter baskets! My parents spoiled us quite a bit! Kaydee's kids all got a blow up jumping castle which they loved and I'm sure my sister does too! ;) On Easter we had our annual money egg hunt at Pooper and Papas. :( No one in my family won this year. Nixon would've had the most money if it wasn't for those darn white prize eggs! Nice try anyways bud! :)

( I didn't take a two week picture with a sign..sad I know...but this picture is at his exact two weeks)

(Nixon sleeping on the pool table...don't worry he stopped the pool ball when Tanner rolled it before it got to Nixon's head! :S)

Also while at my parents', a huge thing was accomplished! Conner's first diaper change!! He did so good!

Nixon's first bath...Yes he did HATE it, but now he hates it when we take him out! I had a doctors appointment yesterday and I was running a bit behind. Conner luckily stepped in and offered to bath Nixon. He did good bathing him and was very cute with him. I just had to teach him that, No we do not pour water right over his face. Nixon didn't like that very much, but besides that everything went great! :) I wish I would've taken some pictures, but like I said I was running a bit behind.

Nixon at three weeks. I even managed to get a good gasy smile out of him!

Nixon and his daddy doin what they do best....

WARNING! Some may not approve of this picture!!!! So don't look unless you don't mind a little breast! haha!

So, I have found it is a little hard to fit in time for me to eat. I swear to you that Nixon knows when I get up to try to eat because he lets me know by saying "WAAHH I'M HUNGRY MOMMY!" So what do I have to do? Double time it baby!!!

The weather WAS so nice for a week long streak (hopefully that'll come back soon!) We took full advantage of the weather and spent a lot of our day(s) out on a walk!

Nixon is now FOUR weeks old...and the good mom that I am just now noticed that he is actually a month old TODAY! (I'll have to snap a picture or two) I can't believe how fast the time has gone by! It really does seem like yesterday that I was in the hospital watching animal planet!! Nixon did NOT like getting his 4 week picture taken!!

And my last picture...Conner decided it was time for Nixon to experience his first shower! At first I said no because he is obviously TOO little, but he convinced me it would be alright. Everything is "alright" with Conner, but he was right, it turned out to be "alright"!! (Are we bad parents?)
