It's a bird, it's a plane...

It's SUPERBABY!!!! Clark Kent look out!! This outfit was given to me before Connor was born and yea it fit! Thankfully it warmed up a bit so I didn't have to find leggings for him. Our neighborhood had a Halloween party and hayride, which was fun because we got to meet many of our neighbors. Below are some pictures of our little super hero.



Practicing his Sic 'Em Bears!!

Full of Energy

A couple of weeks ago we decided to put Connor's Jumperoo together. His feet couldn't touch the ground so he didn't like just hanging there. But now since he's grown taller, his feet touch the ground and off he goes. We can tell that his legs have gotten stronger and he can stand for longer periods of time. He just laughs and laughs when he's in here.

Pumpkin Patch

Happy Fall!! Mimi is in town so we got up this morning and took Connor to his first pumpkin patch. He was hungry so he didn't participate too well, but we still had fun posing him between all the pumpkins. We propped him up then had to hurry and snap the picture before he fell over!





Enough fun for one day!!

4 Months

Our little man turned 4 months yesterday and with that comes another round of shots. Connor did well but has been taking it easy and cuddling with Mommy today. He is now in the 97% for height and 92% for weight; still a big guy! I think his eyes are going to stay green, although the doctor says they could change up until 6 months. The doctor said he was just perfect which is music to mommy’s ears!
At this stage some of his likes and dislikes are:
Likes—bath time, putting his hands and feet into his mouth, talking very loudly (especially in the morning), being outside and going on walks with his momma.
Dislikes—pacifiers, taking naps in his crib (although thankfully he sleeps there at night), Daddy making scary noises.

We should finally get our Internet up and running by the end of next week, thank goodness!! It’s amazing how spoiled I am by the net and can’t wait to have it back.

Here are a few pictures of our big 4 month old:

Look at him in the same outfit--one day to four months. The hat won't even fit him now.



Loving the bumbo!

Having a serious conversataion

FINALLY!!! I know everyone has been wondering what’s been going on with the Settlemeyers, right? Well, I could go on forever, but I’ll cut to the chase and hit the highlights. First of all, we are now in our new home and loving it. Of course we still have plenty of boxes to unload as we try to figure out where everything goes. The first day we were moving in, all of the neighbors came by to introduce themselves. On one side of us there is a young couple with a 7-month-old girl. To the other side, it is a couple with two girls ages 3 and 6. Everyone is so incredibly nice and we couldn’t have asked for better neighbors. Evidently this neighborhood goes all out for the different holidays and has a big party on Halloween. Josh, Superman (aka Connor) and I are really looking forward to that.

Connor has had many firsts over the past couple of weeks:
First church service where he was singing so loudly we had to go to the cry room
First softball game to see Daddy play
First time to sleep through the night (this is VERY exciting. He wakes up around 5:00 – 5:30 every morning, but it’s a start!)
First stomach bug
First stroller ride without the car seat

We still don’t have Internet at our house but are hoping to get it next week. Josh has been going to Starbucks everyday in order to send e-mails for work. We LOVE that Josh is able to work from home.

Once we get Internet, I will get back to blogging. In the meantime, here are some pictures to share.
