Connor's First Swim

Hey everyone-
We went swimming at the Security Mortgage company party. They reserved the pool at the Scera Shell and we decided to go and see how Connor would enjoy it. He LOVED it! He wanted to play with all the toys that shoot water, but that water was super cold! So we took him over to the shallow pool where it was nice and warm. He enjoyed it, and even got to taste the water (Daddy's fault). We only stayed for an hour because every time we got out of the pool, all of our teeth were chattering. Connor decided to pull down his towel over his head and keep it there. It was adorable! He has definitely decided that the water is ok. We also ate hot dogs, nachos, and brownies. There was fun and games and we will try to go again next year. Hope you all enjoy the pictures!

In other news, we went to get Connor weighed and he has gained 2 whole pounds in one month! The all you can eat fat diet has been working. We also found out he has reflux so the doctor put him on Prevacid and he is doing much better. We still think if he would hold still a little more, he might be a little fatter. Oh well, he is fun to play with.

We are excited to go to Brian Regan and Oak City Days this weekend! We will let you all know how it was on the next blog!

Pioneer Day Fun!

Hey everyone-
We wanted to update you all on what we did for the 24th and more! We went to the Orem Owlz baseball game for the 24th with Grandma Neilsen and Aunt Blake. We enjoyed the fireworks after the game. Connor, unfortunately, did not not see the fireworks. He was so tired and fell asleep right before the show began. So we did our own fireworks when we got home and he woke up. Patrick lit them off in our parking lot at like 11 p.m. So we probably alienated our neighbors! We have posted pictures and video of that night. Hope you enjoy!

In other news, Connor has his seventh tooth! He just won't stop! They are so cute when he smiles, and so not cute at other times! He is so smart and alert. He wants mommy and daddy's mashed potatoes instead of the ones made especially for him. He has learned to clap when we clap at him. Mom has learned how to steal her kisses and that is by chewing food and letting him eat it out of her mouth like a bird. Sorry if that is disgusting for some of you. We just happen to find it hillarious! (We have video of that too, so you have been warned!) He clicks his mouth when he wants to eat or drink something and yes, he has learned dead baby weight and straight back to get away when he wants to. He is just so funny and so much fun to play with!

Patrick and I have just been enjoying our days off together when we have them. We are so blessed and we will update you with any other news! Love you all!
