How can I possibly love him any more?

Meeting more Aunties in Redondo Beach for the first time

Somehow I don't have a pic of Connor with Auntie Colleen
 (she was the one being a baby hog and he loved her...she is a real natural)

The head tilt I love - Carrying on a conversation with the fox

GO CHARGERS!! Thats enough said.

Just precious. My favorite time of the day.

Everyday I look at Connor and think, "I love him soooo much!" However, everytime I wake up and snuggle him I realize I love him more than I did yesterday. It is so weird, where does all this love come from? 
Each new day Connor suprises me with something new. One of my favorites is the pic of him tilting his head to laugh and talk to things...its like he is really getting in your face - "so you understand, I am talking to you." He is so incredibly strong, beginning to put his little butt up the air and those legs underneath him, moving them back and forth, telling us, "I WANT TO CRAWL!" in his baby vocab of course. He also just discovered that he does not like toys taken away from him - he will cry no matter if you give him a cooler toy to play with. He hates prunes and prune juice, but who does under the age of 86 :D  Life with my little boy is never boring...I am always learning something new about him.

Connor 4 months

Getting ready for Halloween!

Connor wearing his first pair of Quiksilver boardshorts!

Our PEP group

He is like a big boy wanting to go play outside!

Tasting Mama's apple...He wants everything we eat.

Time flies when you are having fun with a little boy! Connor was 4 months old on Monday. Its official, he is 20 lbs and 26" long! 
Sorry I have not posted in a while. We are always so busy with our SB groups! We have a different group to meet everyday now. It is great for me to meet all these fun moms, but its even cuter to see Connor interacting with all the other babies his age. He just smiles, laughs and coos! I love it!!!

Lots has been going on. 
Connor and I went on a road trip together to visit family and friends. The night before we left Connor took his first bottle from Dada. The picture shows how happy Dada was giving it to him...so precious!
Connor and I drove Bruiser up north to Roseville to stay at my parents for 5 days...a busy time, visitors were in and out all day each day. My mom took a pic of everyone holding him - so awesome to have but I will not post them as Connor met about 40+ new people! I will post some of my favorites (the ones with the great grandparents! which just makes my heart stop beating when I think about how lucky Connor is to have such happy and healthy great grandparents!) 
After Gramma and Grandpas we drove to Sebastopol to spend the day with Bru, San Rafael to visit Stu and Scott...then Concord to visit Amber for a few days! 
Through all this Connor was amazing...the best baby ever ;) Many firsts happened on the trip...he talked to Dada on the cell phone, discovered screaming, peed all over Gramma, and went swimming in the pool (not his favorite at first, but by the end of the trip he was kicking, talking and splashing in the pool!) My favorite ;)...he had his first massive diaper blowout all over me! 
Now that we are home he is rolling over like crazy! You lay him down and he rolls over to his back...the worst is when I am trying to change his diaper!
Thats it for now. Love to all family and friends!

It was not an easy process trying to get a campsite at Jalama on a holiday weekend...its a competitive camping world at Jalama. Needless to say after all the hard work and waiting we got a campsite for the long weekend. Our friends, The Wilders, joined us for some fun in the sun, sand and surf! 
Mike, Connor and I had a fun experience sleeping in our small backpacking tent. We were snuggled all night long and slept great the first night...The next two nights were not the easiest. Connor is teething and decided to share it with all the campsites around us. We didnt get the best of looks in the morning, but hey we will never see those people again! :0) Overall, there was awesome surf, great food, beautiful weather and wonderful friends!

Jack Johnson Concert

Waiting for Jack

The Boys are so happy


Sitting far away so Connor's ears would be okay

Better Together

Life for The Perry Family is going better than we could have ever imagined. Taking Connor to his 1st NFL game and 1st concert all at 3 months old. Better yet, his first concert was Jack!!! Mommy was so so happy. I have been playing Jack to Connor since he was in my tummy. When he has his fussy moments, usually Jack will calm him down and put him to sleep. As you can see Jack did the same thing at the concert. He opened his eyes for about 30 seconds. 
The concert was fun...Jack wrote most of his songs at UCSB so we shared lots of the history of his songs. He ended the concert with Better Together :0) Our wedding song! It could not have been better!
