our growing boy

I apologize for the delay in picture posting, but you see I have this baby now who can single handedly monopolize my entire day. If I'm not feeding or changing him, he's sleeping and I don't want to disturb him so I don't move for long periods of time and then there are the times when he's wide awake and looking at him and smiling makes an hour fly by. I am so head over heels for is precious little lump that I may never leave the house again.
We have made a couple of small outings but nothing that I can't rush home from very quickly. When he was 6 days old my mom & I went to Walgreen's for a couple of items. Then the next day we ventured to Wal-Mart. That trip didn't go as well as I had a few things to return and exchange. We made it back home in one piece though and I took the next few days to stay home. My mom left on Friday and we had to figure out very quickly how to manage a house and a newborn. I'm pretty sure we need a maid & a cook.
This past Wednesday our church held the annual Thanksgiving dinner and we decided this would be a good time to show Connor off to a lot of people and still have the freedom to leave as desired. It went very well. Matt's mom was here visiting and was able to help me get him dressed and to the dinner on time. We ate and visited for about an hour and left without having to tell anyone no, that they couldn't hold him. I was very grateful for that.
My baby is now two weeks and 1 day old. I cried when he was one week and again at two weeks. I'm not sure how long that will continue but time is flying just way too fast. He is outgrowing clothes already and I'm just not ready for that.
Speaking of growth, we had his 2 week appointment on Monday, a couple of days early. He is a healthy growing boy. My midwife had prepped us by saying, "if he's not quite back up to birth weight we aren't going to worry because it's a couple of days early." His birth weight was 8lb 11oz and on Monday (day 11) he weighed 9lb 3oz. No worries here. Matt joked that Connor will outgrow him by age 13. Anyhow, here are some new pics of our growing boy!
