Little Konner is growing up!

Last week Konner started smiling and interacting with me. I have to say, I love the little newborn but I love this stage too because he is alert, keeps eye contact with me, and coos as though he's trying to tell me something. It is so rewarding as a mother to see my children starting to learn. He is eating once a night and sleeping awesome. He goes right back to sleep after he's eaten and we can put him in his crib wide awake at bed time and he will go right to sleep. He has the sweetest personality and we are having so much fun with him.

Our little man is 2 months old!!!

 Today our little guy is 2 months old. Oh how the time fly's!!! We absolutely love this boy and he has definitely changed our lives for the better! The day he came home it just felt as though our family was becoming more complete. With everything this little guy and I went through, I appreciate him that much more.

Here are some facts about Konner!!

1- He loves, loves, loves to snuggle. He would do it all night long if I let him.

2- He loves to eat but what boy doesn't ;)

3- He's a good sleeper. Unless he's gassy, he eats and goes right back to sleep at night. I can

even put him in his crib awake and he'll go to sleep.

4- He now weighs 11 lbs.

5- He is very strong! His neck and arms and legs amaze me!

6- He has Erik's toes to a T.

7-He's losing his brown hair :(  It's receding and will soon be gone and probably come in blond. 

That's what Avery's did. 

8- He loves the tub. The look on his face cracks me up. He would love to just stay in there.

9- He hates getting out of the tub. He always cries. 

10- He has specific ways he likes to be held and cries if Erik can't master them. 

I guess he just loves mommy!! :)

The goods of 2010!!!

I was just on a friends blog and noticed she had logged her reads for 2010. I liked that idea because one, it helps me to keep track of some of the books I've read and loved and two, it may give you an idea for a book to read if you're looking for one.
These are a trilogy and I just got the third!! Love them! This is an L.D.S. writer and she is great. This trilogy is about world war two. It takes place in Germany. They are fantastic and I learned a lot too.
Traitor- Sandra Grey
Tribunal- Sandra Grey
Trespass- currently reading- Sandra Grey

Altered State- Greg Luke

The Hunger Games
Catching Fire
Mocking Jay
Book of Mormon
Joseph Smith teachings

All of these books have been awesome and I may have missed one or two that I've read this year but I seriously loooove reading so if anyone has any recommendations, I would love to hear them. I'm sure most of you know about the Hunger Games trilogy but the other trilogy I've been reading, I really like and I would highly recommend them. They are long and full of historical events.

First day of primary!!! "I don't want to be a sunbeam!"

This past Sunday was Avery's first day of primary. When I first told her she was going to Sunbeams, she was so excited but then, I guess she gave it a little more thought and decided she wasn't so thrilled by the idea. On the way to church she kept saying, "I don't want to be a sunbeam!" I thought she would get over it by the time we got to church but no such luck. She cried the whole time. I teach the CTR 6 so I couldn't sit with her but I made sure she saw me sitting in the back. Erik sat with her the whole time, but didn't go to class with her. She didn't like class either. Her teacher had to hold her the whole time. I'm sure she'll get over it cause she's usually not too clingy. I can't wait until she gets involved and I can watch her singing. I'm lucky to be able to see her in there. Here's what we captured before she decided she didn't want to be a sunbeam :)
