Over the next few months Connor has hit most of his milestones :) Moving, talking, drooling, laughing and starting to recognize mommy and daddy!  Lots of exciting events and visitors as well...

Happy Beginnings!

After our arrival home, life went into fast forward with Connor growing by leaps and bounds!  Our little newborn baby was growing so fast already - right before our eyes. :)

First Month



Sleep, sleep, sleep!



Eyes open, yay!



Play time on Connor's activity mat :)

After one month of growing and lots of sleeping, Connor was hitting all of his milestones!  His second month would bring a bigger appetite, bigger clothes and smiles! 

He went from a sleepy baby...



...to an active little baby boy!

 Month three is sure to bring many more adventures and milestones - we can't wait!

An Early Arrival!

Rewind to early June...

As we prepared for our little guys arrival - he was due July 1, 2011 - we got one heck of a surprise when I started having contractions on the morning of June 4th!  After a frantic call to the doctor we were off to the hospital and Connor James Arent was born June 5th, 2011 at 12:03 am.  He was a healthy 7lbs 10oz and 19 inches long! 

Steve and I were so happy to hear that despite being 4 weeks early he was a healthy little boy!  He had a bit of jaundice and spent some time in the NICU, but we were all able to go home after just a few days :)

Connor and Dad

Proud Grandpa :)

On our way home!

These are just a few from Connor's first moments and days..there are many more to come!
