5 weeks

This ADORABLE little boy seems to have taken over our blog. But we really don't mind! He's stolen our hearts and taken over our lives as well, so why not the blog too?

Conner is "known" for striking a pose. Mostly it involves putting his hands by his face in a way that says, "I'm ready for my photo shoot!" Sometimes, though, he just likes to holds his arms out.

Our Superman!

 


Guys, I'm not ready for you to take my picture yet, I JUST woke up!

Who says boys clothes are cute? I think Conner has some pretty cute clothes...or maybe it's just that I have a super cute little boy!

Indianapolis

We had our first Weekend Getaway with Conner this past weekend! We went to Indianapolis and visited some of our college friends, Ian and Emma Clouse! It was a relaxing weekend! We drove there on Friday. When we got there we just hung out at the Clouse house for a while enjoying sitting around talking. Then we went on a walk in the Canal District, which was so much fun! Probably one of the highlights of the trip! That night for dinner we went to a good Thai restaurant!

Saturday morning we leisurely got up, then went to Anderson Orchard which is a you-pick orchard. The you-pick fruits available were baking apples and raspberries. We spent a very enjoyable hour picking raspberries!

We went back to the house for lunch, then went to the Indiana Medical History Museum. They had interesting information, but the tour guide wasn't the best presenter...

We went back tot he house for dinner and enjoyed chatting until it was time for us to make the drive back home.

We had such a great time! Thanks Ian and Emma for having us!

One Month Old!

Conner is one month old today! Ammon brought home a cake to celebrate :)

Beautiful Flowers

Last night was a rough one for Conner and I. Many tears were shed by both of us. From what I've heard from others, pretty much everyone has a night like this at some point. It's just part of parenthood. But knowing this does NOT make it any easier! I feel bad that I don't understand what is wrong with my little guy, and he's frustrated that he's not getting what he "needs." I say "needs" because he was fed and had a clean diaper, so he didn't really need anything. It's hard to have such a communication barrier!

This morning when I woke up, I found a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a very sweet note from Ammon and Conner telling me what a great wife and mom I am. It was exactly what I needed to hear. What an amazing husband (and son:) I have! I love them both so much!

I tried to get pictures of the bouquet of flowers but the nice camera wouldn't let me and I couldn't find the other one. Maybe tomorrow.

Baby Photos

Man! I have the cutest little boy ever! He is such a sweet little guy; although if his hunger now is any indication of what it will be when he's a teenager, I'm going to need to get a job just to pay for his food! Lol! He always seems to be hungry! But he's just so precious that most of the time I don't mind!

I'm quickly learning a few things:
It's takes a long time to get out of the house.
It takes a long time to run errands
It takes a long time to get things done (like this post...taking me days!)
Really, everything takes a long time
I have the cutest baby ever
Being a momma is hard work, but his smiles and sweet sleeping face makes it all worth it
Doing things one handed is becoming a new skill
I love my son more than I can describe in words

Enough talk...what you really want is to see this stinkin' cute boy!

1 Week

It's been a week! Instead of bombarding facebook with tons of adorable pictures of my little guy, I thought I'd put them here! Enjoy!
5 Days Old

6 Days Old - I think that even his sad face is just so dang cute! This sleeper sack (along with many other clothes) is one that Conner's cousins wore when they were this small too!

7 Days Old - I tried putting a 0-3 month outfit on him today...it's still too big! Lol!

Since the outfit was too big, I changed him into this one

My cute little monkey! He's just so adorable!

Conner was only one week old when he was introduced to the work shop. Now he's truly a Dietz :)

Baby Shower

Another fun thing that took place while my mom was in town in April was a baby shower! My mother-in-law, sister-in-law and my mom threw me a wonderful baby shower!

 We had lots of very yummy food (some pictured below) and great company! We had such a fun time!

 My mom made this adorable baby in a cradle fruit salad!

Other foods not listed: Chicken Salad Sandwiches on croissants, pasta salad and nut cups.
