we just keep on growing

Today i plopped Connor into his Bumbo for some play time & realized how BIG he had gotten!  When we first put him in it, his little legs looked tiny compared to the wide openings and he couldn't even hold his head up! Today, he's coordinated enough to entertain himself with his favorites Lamaze toy!


1 month


2 months


3 months


almost 4 months

I'm still in shock that my baby is going to be 4 months old!!!  I can't imagine how shocked i will be when he turns 5, 16, or 18!!

an array of fun

Nothing very exciting is going on in the Minor house.  Although, Connor was kicking way too much water out of his baby tub, so we have switched to a sponge in the bathtub & Connor just met my good friend Margaret Choo - who has been at Vanderbilt, and not around to meet the baby, we had so much fun with her!
(the middle picture is just random)




As some of you know & some of you don't our dear friend Lauren is sick, and will have to spend many days at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital while undergoing chemo treatments.  I made a sign for her...but Connor wasn't really into holding it...he would rather eat it!



Hope you're enjoying the wonderful weather!

p.s.-if any of you readers have to know of anyone who would like to sell or lend us their Rainforest Jumperoo we would take really really good care of it!

happenings as of late

wow!  i realize that every time i log on to post, i write about how i keep forgetting to post or i'm just so busy!  but, REALLY i am!  regardless, i should really do better, because i'm beginning to learn that people actually read this :)

well,  i haven't uploaded the most recent pictures yet - like the ones of Connor rolling over!! Yes, he did!  today!  he was lying on his back and would roll onto his side and finally flipped over.  although, upon rolling over, his face was buried in the blanket and he cried but mom and i were excited!  (may i say, this was not a quick process...this lying-flipping-rolling sequence took about 15 minutes)

anyway, here are some pictures from Mother's Day...


At Mimi's Cafe at the Avenue Murfreesboro




The Whole Family




Poor Connor fell asleep after lunch - but woke up ready to play in his papasan chair!

This is probably one of my favorite things
I found this romper at Cracker Barrel 
and hinted that i wanted it for Connor all through April and May!
Well, he got it!  and i couldn't help but take some pictures

And last but not least - 
Now, i realize that the American Association of Pediatrics (or whomever) recommends that children not watch TV, but Connor always seems to find it...regardless of our discouragements

Sorry this post was so long, but there were a lot of really important people with me on my very first Mother's Day.  It was an awesome day that i got to spend with my family and a day i devoted to loving on my baby boy!  So often, we get busy with life that we don't get enough time just to hang out with no worries.  Sure, we see each other as 5 am when i feed him, but thats not a happy time - this is a sleepy time.  So, it was so fun just to spoil him for a day with all the love, hugs and kisses!

God Bless!

parties! (and some great jazz music)

This has been a busy weekend/week in the Minor house!  Saturday, my best friend's sister Andrea graduated from MTSU, we worked Jazz Fest and Monday, my brother insisted we celebrate Cinco de Mayo at La Siesta.  Here's how much fun we had!

Connor and the graduate!



The next two pretty much sum up our friendship :)

Nashville Adventure to see Aunt Sarah!

Sorry i haven't posted lately!  Yesterday, Connor and I made the treck to Nashville (Belmont/West End) to visit Sarah and all of her friends at Belmont!  We had so much fun (minus getting lost on the way home...but that's another story) & Connor got to wear his new outfit!

Before leaving (no crying here!)


He slept the whole way there...and wasnt really sure

Connor & Sarah
