Weston met a "big boy" to throw the football with

We took Weston & Connor to their first Mississippi State tailgate last weekend in Starkville. It was appropriate for their first because the Mississippi State Bulldogs played the Georgia Bulldogs. We dressed the boys in their maroon dawg gear for the game since we were in Starkville. Will was the black sheep of the family sporting his Georgia gameday shirt. Luckily, the "maroon dawgs" beat the "red dawgs" in this year's "Dawg Bowl". Go State! I guess Coach Dan Mullen let the dawgs out this time.

Weston had so much fun playing with his friends and throwing the football at our tailgate spot. He looked so precious in his Bulldog jersey. He asked to wear it to school this week, too.

Here are some pictures Will and I took of Connor in his first two weeks, and some with his big brother Weston. I regret not taking Mommy & Baby pictures with Weston, so I made sure I got some this time with Connor. At Connor's two week checkup with his pediatrician on September 16, he had already grown an inch and a half and gained 19 ounces. He currently eats about every 3 hours during the day, and he takes a 5 hour stretch at night. He sleeps in the bassinet that my mom and her older brother and me and my older brother all slept in as babies. My mom repainted it and gave us the bedding for it as a gift.
Weston loves the guitar Connor gave him when we came home from the hospital. He enjoys holding his little brother a couple of times each day. The first thing Weston wants to do when he wakes up is go check on his "Baby Connor". When Connor cries during the day, Weston says, "I tummin' (coming) Connor". It is so precious. He is already looking out for his little brother.

First Day of 2 year Old Preschool

He wanted to play on the playground first

In his class, he met teachers and new friends

He played with some play-doh and ate some too

He made Mommy some tea

On September 7, Will, Connor, and I took Weston to his first day of 2 year old playschool. Once we got him to his new class, he went right to playing in all the learning centers. His teachers, Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Lori, were very nice. He had a good first day!

In the past two weeks, he has talked about school and his teachers often. One Friday, I asked Weston, "What do you want to do today?" He answered, "go to school". I explained to him that we would have to wait until the next Tuesday to go back to school.

I love how his teachers send home the lesson plans for what they are working on. They have been learning about apples, the color red, and circles this week. He is painting, coloring pictures, glueing, and singing new songs. Our refrigerator is already full of some of Weston's masterpieces. I love school as much as he does!

One week ago today, Connor Calloway was welcomed and adored by his mom, dad, and big brother. He made his surprise arrival at 38 weeks on September 1st at 4:28 pm. He was 5 pounds, 15 ounces and 19 inches long. We are so in love with him. He is absolutely adorable and is such a sweet baby. Will and I feel extremely blessed to have two precious little boys. God is so good!
