7 weeks and Turkey Day!

We had a very nice Thanksgiving dinner at our house this year. Connor's Nana and Grandpa came over and we had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, veggies, cranberry sauce and rolls. We had a lot of fun and took some great pictures. We were also able to Skype with my Dad and Barbara and my Nana and Aunt Susan, who were able to see Connor for the first time. We also Skype'd with my mom and my brother Brian. While it wasn't as good as seeing everyone in person on the holiday, but it made it a little easier. We're looking forward to seeing the New England contingent for Christmas!!
Connor was 7 weeks old yesterday and I can't believe how fast time is flying! He's going for his 2 month check-up/vaccines on the 10th of December and I'm not so thrilled about that. The good thing is that my mom will be coming into town that morning, so Connor will be able to get some good snuggle time in with his Grammy.

Here are a few updated pictures of our big guy!

Connor Thomas is ONE month old!

It is unbelievable to me that just 4 weeks ago Ian and I welcomed Connor into the world. After the first couple of shaky weeks (exhaustion, issues with nursing, recovering from the birth), it seems like we're falling into some sort of a routine, which is nice.
Milestones this week include growing out of almost all of his "newborn" clothes, falling asleep at night almost immediately after nursing, and smiling at Ian and I. He's so much more alert this week than he has been, and he's also starting cooing a bit...it is so amazing how quickly things change and how he continues to grow each moment. We are so lucky!!!

Here are a couple of pictures from this week:
