The day before Nana and Bumpa arrived (10/6), Christian and I went to the hospital for Connor's one month check up. There we learned that he was 4.75kg and 57cm long! (that is 10.47lbs and 22.44inches).
Right around this time his 0-3 month outfits were getting small on him, especially lengthwise so we started retiring some of his outfits.
While Nancy and Bob (Nana and Bumpa to little Connor) were here we spent a lot of time hanging out at the apartment... Connor really enjoyed being held by Nana.

These two photos were taken the first time Kim was away Connor. She went to New Campus for a few hours to judge an English Speech Competition with Christian.
 |
| Here's a super adorable closeup. What a sweet position! (10/9) |
 |
| Here's Nana cuddling with Connor the next morning (10/10). |
Usually, Connor only gets to hear Christian and I sing to him, but during their visit, he got exposed to two more singing voices! Here's a couple of shots of Nana and Bumpa singing to Connor after a bath.

Of course we didn't just hang out at the apartment all week long...
We went on walks around campus, shopped and ate out. There was a lot of walking, but it was great to show off the city and some of how we live in China. It's really impossible to explain what it's like to live in China. Though we can describe a lot, there are many things that must be experienced in order to understand what it is like to live here...

This is my absolute favorite photo from the week.

Silly times were had at Jack and Jones, a popular clothing store for men.

Bob and Christian tried on the same coat.
I really can't explain it, but Christian reminds me
of Paul McCartney in this photo... (10/13) |

Connor protectively clutching his after dinner snack...
"Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger!" |
And now for some miscellaneous fun photos from the week...

Here's Connor back at home after having had his immunization shots.

TSA really didn't know what to make of the maple syrup in
Nana and Bumpa's luggage... |
 |
| Connor's tuft gone wild! (10/13) |
Last but not least, a photo with Connor in bottomless Chinese baby pants...
