Thinking About Being a Linebacker

Hi people.
Went to the doctor today for the whole two month check-up thing. In addition to the Tylenol, four shots, and an oral dose of a 5th immunization, they checked my stats. Dudes. I'm already such a big guy. Ok, to refresh your memory, I was 7 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches long when I was born. At one month I was 11 pounds 5.3 oz and 22.63 inches long. Today, at two months and one day, I am 13 lbs 8.6 oz and 24.25 inches long. That places me in the 82nd percentile for weight and 85th percentile for height. "Oh boy," is all my mom has to say. :) So, since I was born, I have put on roughly 5 1/2 pounds and grown 3 1/4 inches. Whew! Thanks for the milk, Mom! ;) (And, hey sister, looks like at FOUR MONTHS you were just 13 lbs 8.9 oz. Shrimp. I got you by two months. Haha!!)

Here's a picture of me on my two month birthday. And, just for fun, I'll repost the two other pics on the same baseball, for your convenience, so you can track my growth. Isn't that nice of me?

Talk to ya.
Connor :)

Two Months

One Month

9 Days Old

8 Weeks...Where does the time go??

Hi buddies.

Guess what. I am OLD. I am, as of today, 59. Yup, 59 days old. That is OLD, people. And because of my old age, there are some things coming up in my life that sound pretty interesting. For example, this coming Tuesday is my first day of Kindermusik. Yup, that's right, Mommy is taking me to Kindermusik at 8 weeks old. Don't judge her, I'm excited to spend time with her - just the two of us! :) And, on Wednesday, I have to go to the doctor for my two month visit, and I hear there will be some pain involved (4 shots), but I plan on being very brave, in addition to having my Mommy drug me up. :) Let's see....additionally, this past week, I visited the Deanna Rose Farmstead for the first time, started talking a lot more often, met my Uncle Francis, Cousin Randy, and Great-Aunt Alma and Great-Uncle Ralph, AND I've also graduated out of the recipe of bouncy seat+swaddle+noise machine+vibrator in order to go to sleep. Lately, Mommy just swaddles me loosely, and that's all I need to sleep about 4 hours or so at a time. (I have done a few five hour stretches this week, too, which makes Mommy very happy!) Enjoy the pictures!!

Talk to ya.
Connor

Happy Birthday Uncle Francis!

7 1/2 weeks - Wearing an outfit from Aunt Alma. I wore it for an hour before it, uh, required a washing. :)

Fed & happy. (and my Mom apparently doesn't know how to properly snap my pants.)

8 weeks 3 days. Growing like a weed!! :)

6 Weeks! (plus 2 days)

Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to check in real quick & share some pics now that I'm 6 weeks old and all. Don't have too much to share, other than Mom weighed me today and the scale said I was 12 1/2 pounds!! Mom's not sure that's quite accurate, but man, if it is, I've grown another pound in a week and a half! WHOA people! Also, Mom finally put the double stroller together, so now we don't have to sit in this house ALLLLLL day long, staying out of the heat. Now we can hang out at some indoor places and she can keep track of both of us kids at the same time! :) She's pretty thrilled about that. Enjoy the pics!

Been working on the whole smiling thing. :)

All spiffed up for Mommy's 6 week doctor visit. The nurses said I was handsome.
They have good taste. ;)

Me and my sister's new ride. Emily watched TV in it for an HOUR. She refused to get out.
What a weirdo...

Hmmm...this is an interesting new position. I kinda like it! (6 weeks 2 days)

More Pics from My First Month

Hello again Everyone!

It's a typical Sunday afternoon in my house (naps and Nascar) so I thought I'd take advantage of the quiet house to share more pictures from my first five weeks. Also, I went to the doctor with my sister this week. I was the only one who got shots - I got my second Hepatitis B shot, which wasn't too bad. I cried just briefly, because I'm such a brave guy. When they weighed me, we found out that I had put on almost 4 pounds (!!!) in my first month. (See, Mom?? That's why I need to eat so often!!) I weighed 11 pounds 5.3 ounces (remember? I was 7 lbs 15 oz when I was born) AND - get this people - I was 22.63 inches long! I was only 21 inches when I was born. So, yes, in just a month I grew over an inch and a half! Whoa!! I'm HUUUUGE! :)

Anyway, here are the fun pics to share...

This first one is from only my 10th day of life, which just happened to be the 4th of July! This was a very mellow day for my family - we did absolutely nothing, except wear 4th of July clothes. :) Which, sometimes, is apparently just how my parents like it. (check out my newborn wrinkles in this picture - awww...)


This next one is me and Daddy, and I'm about 3 weeks old (Mommy says she can't remember - sheesh, she's forgetful...) We're probably watching NASCAR in this picture. :)


Here I am on my one month birthday! (which happened to be my sister's 2nd birthday)

Here are a few others from my one month birthday (again, it was a bit overshadowed by the sister's big day, but you only turn 2 once, I suppose). This first one is of me and Grandpa, chilling at the birthday party.

Next is me and Daddy, again at the birthday party.

Finally, here's me and Grandma Jo, at again - guess where? - the birthday party. :)

And here I am at 5 weeks old. I'm a handsome little devil, huh?

And, just to show you how much I've grown, here's another picture of me on the same baseball, at 9 days old.


And, this last picture is another of me at one month - I'm starting to work on my smiles! They sure do make my parents happy! :)

A Few Pics to Share

Fun Comparisons

Hello Everyone,

This is Connor's Mommy writing now. Wanted to share a few comparison pictures of the kids, just for fun. I find them interesting and perhaps you might as well, but if not, heck, the pictures are really just for us, anyway. ;) Instead of telling you right away who is who, see if you can guess, then check to see if you were right! (And, yeah, the envelope ones should be REALLY easy...) Enjoy!

And....More Pics from My First Day Home!

All right....the saga continues... :) That's right, the saga of the life of Connor P. LaBarge. (That's me, by the way...)

So, my parents brought me home on Saturday, June 26th. I wore the same In-n-Out Onesie my sister wore, because my parents are silly like that. When I got home, I met my big sis, Emily, and saw my Grandma Jo again. It was a good day! I was happy to see my home and start this whole growing up thing! :) And the sister...I guess she's ok...for now... :)

Meeting The Sister for the first time.

Day 2 of being The Brother. It's not a bad role to play! :)

Hugs. I tend to get a lot of them from Emily.

Checking each other out.

Cute kids, huh? ;)
