Connor and the BIG TRUCKS

On Friday my mom drove Peter to work.  On the way they saw these construction trucks sitting out in a parking lot.  So needless to say, when we picked daddy up from work we had to go touch the big machines.

Forklift
Excavator/Digger

This past week Connor, Daddy and grandpa found a new fun way to take a walk.  They went on a night time walk a couple times this week.  Connor got to hold the big flashlight for their walk and they found some pretty cool things to a two year old.  They saw lots of spiders building webs, dogs going for a walk and people out walking.  Back at our house we didn't have a big flashlight so instead Daddy and Connor went for a walk with headlights.  Aren't they cute?!

Three Weeks Old

Where has the time gone?  How can she be three weeks old already?
Connor liked these positions at this age too.
How is Connor taking to the new arrival?  Well last week he said, "We take Chloe back to the hospital?"  My interpretation-he's done with her.  Daddy's interpretation-he wants to go see the stork in the parking structure and see all the big trucks out the window.
Connor also likes to whack just about everything.  When he gets near Chloe, mommy and daddy get to their feet really fast.   He also has a soft side for his sister.  Every night he gives her a hug and a kiss before bed.
 Here he is playing with some of his favorite toys.
 The last two weeks our ward has been delivering dinner to us every other day.  We have been spoiled.  The food has been wonderful!  Here's a picture of Connor's favorite dessert, he has requested I make rainbow jell-o.  One of his nursery teachers made this for us because Connor knows all of his colors.
 A cute little funny about colors.  Last week Peter and I had a meeting to go to, so my mom watched Connor.  My brother's kids were also there and my mom said that Connor knew all of his colors.  The boys started testing Connor by pointing to random objects in the room.  After he named every color they pointed to, they decided to get tricky.
Joshua-What color is your mommy?
Connor- (thought for a moment) Pink
Joshua-What color am I?
Connor- Brown

I agree-I'm pink and Joshua is brown.  Yes Connor knows his colors.

One Week Old

Here are some photos of Chloe's first week of life: 
One of the nurses made a flower on her hat.  Later another nurse made her a hat with a bow.
Proof-yes she weighed 9 pounds and almost 1 ounce!
 Getting her first bath
Aunt Mary washing her hair.  Mary totally spoiled me.  She worked the two nights that I was there, so she would take Chloe on rounds with her and bring her back for feedings...I got a lot of rest.  She also hooked me up with one of the VIP rooms.
Connor came to visit
Going home
Before picking us up, Daddy and grandpa decorated the house.
Home at last
She sure does sleep a lot
One week old today
A few funny faces she dazzles us with.
Look I see eyes!
