Connor has started to giggle and smile!  As evidenced in the picture.

He's also sleeping longer...Mom got 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night- then 2.5 more hours! We are excited.

2 Months Already! 

We can hardly believe that it has been 2 months since the birth of Connor.  Sometimes it seems like it has been forever (especially on the nights when I don't get much sleep) and other times it seems like it can't hardly be 2 months already.  Connor had his first shot yesterday along with his 2 month checkup.  He is now in the 90%tile for height and 75%tile for weight.  He is 24 inches long and 12 pounds 8 ounces.  New things that Connor is doing:  Smiling, giggling, "cooing", he's almost figured out how to get his thumb in his mouth, he can prop himself up on his arms when on his tummy to look around, and he can hold his head up on his own!  Only a few more weeks and Brendan will be on summer break with us too.

Life continues to be an adventure!  Connor started screaming while he was eating at night and the Dr. thought he might have developed acid reflux after I had to take antibiotics to get rid of mastitis (I would not wish that on anyone).  He put Connor on an acid reducing medicine to try and level out his stomach acids.  He is doing better BUT then he got a cold!  There is nothing sadder than listening to your little baby struggle to breathe.  He passed on the cold to both his Mom and Dad.  He coughed into his Mom's eye and stuck his tongue in Dad's mouth.  So there was really no way we could avoid getting it. 

During the Dr. appt we discovered that Connor was already at 12 pounds!  He has now outgrown his 3 month pj's and is in 6 month pj's...he's not even 2 months yet!  We have his 2 month check up on Monday so be looking for another post soon after.

For those of you voting on when Connor will sleep through the night... we have found a "magic" bed.  Connor was really struggling laying flat on his back to go to sleep (probably because of the acid reflux).  One of Brendan's co-workers said that her son had the same problem and they bought an Amby bed, which is like a baby hamock.  She let us borrow it and Connor has been sleeping much better.  He usually does a 4-5 hour stretch to start off the night which is making his disposition much better- and Mom actually has some energy!
