Happy Easter!

We had a fun Easter weekend.  On Saturday we met at my brother's house in Pocatello for an easter egg hunt.  Conner was so excited that he slept through the egg hunt... so Daniel and I gave him all of our eggs minus the candy.  :D 

He woke up in time to join us for the BBQ.

It was one of the nicest days we have had all spring- but the breeze was a little chilly for Conner, so we bundled him up.  :D 

I made a desert for our little party.  Egg shapped chocolate Eclairs.  Yum!

I saw a picture of these deviled eggs online and I had to try it.  I think they are so cute.

We had a great weekend.  I am excited for the warmer weather that is comming.  It will be nice to be able to go on walks with Conner.

Daddy's Little Boy

Our little Conner is growing so fast!  He is a very smiley & talkative little boy.  His favorite past time is watching his father. 

Aren't they cute?

A Weekend at Grandma's

We spent the weekend at Grandma & Grandpa Brown's.  It was great to spend time with family.  Conner gets bored of smiling at the same 2 people all the time. He was excited to have a new audiance.

Everyone was impressed with Conner's adorable smiley-ness.

Tashina and Arlen styled Conner's hair.  They determined that it was too short for a fo-hawk, but not for the Alf-Alfa look.

It looks like Sheldon is going to be a favorite Uncle.  At dinner Conner smiled every time Sheldon looked his way.

This is Grandpa's idea of baby sitting.

Conner was not as interested in napping as Grandpa. :D

We had a great time visiting with family and watching general conference.

The Newest Member of Our Family

Today Conner and I celebrated the warm weather by welcoming the newest member of Conner's entourage-
a New Stroller!

Yup- Yesterday we finally bought a stroller.  We found it for $20 on Craigslist.  It is used, but in super condition.  We saw the same stroller at Walmart for $80- booyah!

Conner gave it an A+ rating- which is good, because I plan to use it a lot this summer. 

Mr. Conner Grant- Daddy's Little Boy

Conner is 9 weeks old!  I can't believe how fast the time has gone.  He is a very social and smiley baby.  We had a little photo shoot on Tuesday to document his smiley-ness.

Yup- he is adorable.  As I reviewed these pictures, I realized that they looked familiar...

This is a picture of baby Daniel Grant at about the same age.  Yup- Conner is a chunker now, but I am guessing that won't last.  :D

I Caught It!!

I finally caught his smile in a short video.  He is so cute!!  This is the smiley face I get to watch all day.

I have never uploaded a video- so I hope this works.

Yeah- he is pretty much the cutest baby ever! ( I might be a little biased)

The illusive 'Social Smile'

I read somewhere that at 6 weeks a baby is old enough to recognize his parents and actally smile at them.  This is called a social smile.  We have been getting a lot of those this past week.  He will sit and coo and laugh and smile, especially right after his diaper is changed.  It is really fun- we definately prefer his happy smiley hour to his fussy hour.

I have tried and tried to capture his smiley face, but with little to no success.  Here are a few cute snaps of the munchkin anyway.

You might be able to see his tiny mohawk.

( I almost caught it here.  This is the end of his smiley-laughing face)

My conclusion is that he is camera shy, but he is definately going to be a social little boy.
