Lot's and Lot's of Firsts!!

There have been a lot of firsts going on in the last few days for little Connor Jax! He had his first Doctors visit on Tuesday July 21st where he passed all tests with flying colors and was only one ounce away from returning to his birth weight! His color looked great, his reflexes were perfect and Doctor Welty said that he looked like a happy, healthy little guy! We did have to go back that Friday for another check on his weight, apparently they need an exact measure at exactly two weeks of age so our second trip to the doctor was on Friday, July 24 and Connor Jax weighed in at 10 pounds 5 ounces.... a whole 4 ounces bigger than Tuesday. I sure do have one BIG and growing little man!!

On Friday the 24th I was given the go ahead to drive but I was so restless that I jumped the gun a day early, I was tired of being shuttled around and wanted some independence. On July 23rd Connor and I took our first drive together ALONE in the car, I was a little worried but it all ran very smoothly and we only experienced one crying spell. Although those times in the car when he’s crying and you can’t do anything are the worst we made it and went to visit my mom and meet my parents dog Gracie. She wasn’t too sure what to think of him at first but I know in time she’ll warm up and find herself a new best friend.

If you know me Connor had a HUGE first at on July 17th! Connor, Auntie Heather and I made our very first trip to TARGET together!! He did great and we picked out a few little sleepers for him, all of his summer sleepers were newborn size and well my big little man just doesn’t fit into anything newborn. I’m certain that this will be the first of many, many, many trips the little guy makes to my favorite store!!
