The Goo's and The Gaa's

Well two months old for Connor means smiles and giggles, laughs and strange noises. He has officially learned what the social smile is. When daddy or mommy smile, laugh or talk to Connor you can't wipe the smile off his face. He loves to get his belly tickled, attacks of kisses, sticking out his tongue and throwing up on daddy.  Connor still takes multiple naps throughout the day. Normally a nice long one in the morning, then some small catnaps through the day and a long one in the evening. Finally settling into sleep at about 8pm. Normally he will stay asleep on mommy or daddy's chest until we go to bed which requires an additional feeding at around 10pm and sleeping until he wakes up. For three days in a row he slept from 10:30-4:30, back to sleep until 6:30. Then last night it was 10:30-2:30, back to sleep until 6:30. No matter what, it has been a dream getting 8 hours of sleep no matter when Mommy wakes up. Connor also love going outside. He has been to the beach this month with mommy, the dog park with Rango, mommy and daddy. and on many walks around the neighborhood. Once he gets into the stroller it's smiles and eventually a nap.  His favorite food so far is still milk and will be for another few months.We have had to retire his neborn clothes, and most of his 0-3 month clothes. He is starting to get too long for his 3 month clothes but the 3-6 month are too wide. Today we found out that Connor can sit in his bumbo like a big boy! When did he get so big and strong?! ( When I ask him this he just smiles and smiles).  OH yeah- he also found his thumb.... no more pacifier for him :-/.

Connor had his 2 month check up and he is doing absolutely wonderful! He is 11lbs 13 oz (53rd percentile for his age), 23 in long (56th percentile for his age) and his head circumference is normal.  The shots he recevied were not fun. Connor screamed his head off and was cranky the rest of the night and some the next day.  However, he is back to himself today!


That was Connor's update- everyone else is doing wonderful. Kyle has been inport most of the month which has been great. Him and Connor have been able to have some Daddy-Son days, you know just the guys hanging out.

And Me, well, I'm still trying to figure out this whole staying at home thing. I love spending time with my son, but the days are passing so quickly. I have finally figured out a daily schedule that "sometimes" gets followed based on Connor's mood. I have a long list of things I would love to get done. However, they rarely do unless it's a weekend.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that the next duty station will have a school nearby with my masters program so I can go back to school and work towards completing a higher degree while Connor is still young.

Now time for some picture bombing :-)
 2 Months old!

Mommy, Daddy, Connor with the Tiger from the zoo. There was a special event at a local restaurant that allowed you to get your picture taken with a live tiger cub. They even let Connor sit in the basket with the tiger!!
And maybe if I can figure it out- a video of Connor "talking" to mommy.
**p.s. the $20 is being placed in his college fund ;-)

"This should be interesting..."

After getting both kids to bed (before 8pm mind you!) I have finally had time to sit down and decompress. My morning started out with Emilee stirring in her crib around 4am. I quickly grabbed her and put her in our bed to fall back asleep as she normally does. She started stirring around again at 6am which was my cue to get out of bed and get dressed and ready to leave for her eye appointment. I woke up with that "this should be an interesting day" feeling and low and behold, it was. It was 6:55 when I realized that our wonderful sitter hadn't arrived yet. She is never late, even the one time she thought she was going to be late she was still five minutes early. So when she wasn't here at 7, my mind went crazy. Was she in an accident, had something happened with her family... the list went on with the craziness of Philly news. I sent a text at 7:05 and nothing. I finally switched from worried mom mode to get-in-the-damn-car mode to make the appointment on time. (I...

I am One Month!

Wow how time really flies! Things were so hectic at the end of the pregnancy that I realized I never kept you updated. Birth Story: Well, long story short on 22 July at 10am my water broke. I called L & D and they said to come on in to get monitored and to check the fluid levels etc. Kyle and I thought maybe we weren't really going to be admitted (you know maybe I had had an accident haha). We decided to do the trip to the hospital as a trial run. We got what was left of our bags packed, loaded up the car and stopped at Wendy's for some Chicken Nuggets. (I wanted to make sure I ate something in case I was really in labor and wouldn't get food for a while (Smart thinking on our part!).) So we arrive, they do some awesome monitoring and evaluation and sure enough there was a water leak! They said I would have 24 hours to deliver otherwise they would have to do a c-section. Well for those of you who are reading this and know me, I was scared of getting a c-section (as...

Weeks 23 and 24

Once again things got pretty busy and I did not update for week 23. This is mainly because my sister, brother in-law and nephew came for a visit! It was a great week full of food, Blue Angel Practice Show, Exploreum, putt putt golfing, some shopping and so much more! It was a great opportunity for Kyle and me to be tourists in the town we live in. All in all it was awesome to spend time with the family and show them around. 23 weeks was rather uneventful in terms of Connor. We did have a doctors appointment last Monday and the doctor wrote me a prescription for Nexium for the AWFUL acid reflux that I was having. Now I can enjoy food again without the terrible burning sensations. He also told us that the 20 week ultrasound showed a nice healthy baby with "no gross abnormalities". I could finally sigh in relief knowing that the ultrasound came back great. Now to actually see Connor and check for all 10 fingers and toes! Otherwise he is kicking and hitting up a storm. Kyle was...
