I love you 2012

2012 gave me your daddy and then it gave me you. Even through its challenges, this year has given me the best things I could ask for...things I couldn't have dreamed of.
Thank you 2012. I can only imagine that your next up is only better.

On a side note, Connor still doesn't know his age and thinks he is grown. How else do you explain an 8 weeker rolling over to get out of tummy time? You are so grown and such a good baby that I can only imagine what kind of toddler you will be. Needless to say Daddy and I are preparing ourselves now!

I love you my heart.

Going mobile

It has been so awesome to be home with you so much. I'm sitting here holding you while you sleep simply because I can :-) I got smart and downloaded the blogger app finally. Silly mommy.
You are now 7 weeks old and getting so big. I can't wait for your next appointment to find out your measurements. Unfortunately you started spitting up a bit recently and you very rarely did before. I guess it peaks around this age though. Fortunately you are as happy of a baby as always.
We put you in your bumbo the other day. You sat up and held your head up so well! Sighhhh you are growing up so fast. It almost breaks my heart.
On a side note,
Daddy and I did some shopping last night and I carried you in the beco . You were so good of course! You love checking out the scenery and you always get so much attention because you are just that beautiful. Your parents are so so soooo lucky to have you. We love you Connor Man.

Cocooner Man

Connor man...."the Legend", "Cocoonerman" (in relation to what you look like swaddled in a swaddle me), and I'm sure there are a few others.

In other words, your father and I have already given you a ton of nicknames :-) You don't seem to mind.

You are just over five weeks old and we swear you look and act far older. I'm pretty sure you are a kid genius in the making.

I finally got all of your cloth diaper stuff sorted out. Your Aunt Charesa insists that I have been putting off using CD full time because "I'm scared". I wouldn't say scared..maybe anxious...because there is for sure a major learning curve with all the different options, washing protocols, etc.
All in all I think it will be far healthier for you than the disposables that have so many chemicals in them.

So anyway, you now are trying to talk soooo much. You move your mouth like you are trying to say what I or your dad say. It is adorable. However I think you are still talking more in your sleep than when you are awake.

You are also growing like a weed. Your pediatrician appointment was Monday the 3rd. The pediatrician said you look great (of course!).
In the past few days you have started eating more. I told dad we are gonna have to get out the big bottles because the 4 oz bottles aren't cutting it for you most of the time. My biggie boy!

You have slept 6ish hours two different times now. It always worries me a little bit because I am used to your average four hours (you usually wake up almost four hours on the dot a lot of times).
Although I enjoy the sleep, I still worry about my little boy...but I understand, you have to get your beauty rest.

On a side note, I tried to get you to do tummy time on your playmat the other day and you fell asleep instead. I guess it was too soft to resist.

I finished my grad school class yesterday and daddy went back to work. What an exciting day! You were a very good boy too (as always, duh). I start back at school in January so am going to try to majorly enjoy the next couple weeks while I can.

I'm also in the process of figuring out the daycare/baby sitter situation. I have decided I will pay the right amount for the right caregiver because you deserve nothing less but I will tell you-DAYCARE IS EXPENSIVE. But I want to make sure you get the best.  I need to finish the search this week. We shall see!

Anyway I'm done here so I can get back to spoiling you and singing you horrible songs with terrible sounds that I make up (though really you seem to like it : ) ).
