Luke's 5th Birthday

We had Luke's 5th birthday party this past weekend.  This was the first year that he was really excited about his birthday in the days leading up to it, counting down.  He woke up the day of his party and the hours couldn't pass fast enough.  He wanted a pool party and chose a football theme.  He invited his best friends from school and had a great time. 
 



 
He picked a San Francisco 49ers cake (I think because Hunter was rooting for them in the Super Bowl.)  We came back to the house to open gifts. 

Luke loved to have an entire weekend where he called the shots.  Happy Birthday my sweet boy, I hope it was great!!

Welcome Liam Stuart Meister

Mark and Robin's baby Liam Stuart Meister arrived on March 2nd and is absolutely precious.  I can't wait to introduce the boys to him when he is a bit older. 

I can't imagine what it will be like at Gigi and Papa's in a year with all these boys running around!!

6 months old

Happy 1/2 year birthday Connor!!  You learned to sit up this month which is always so exciting and just makes you so much happier than having to lay on your back or stomach. You are able to move yourself in a complete circle when on your stomach to see what is going on around you or grab toys. 

We also tried a couple new foods and you are finally getting the hang of eating solids.  Your favorite seems to be sweet potatoes and we have also tried bananas.  You are chewing on things all the time so I guess teeth are on the horizon.  You are using the paci occasionally but mostly like to chew on it rather than suck.

Using paci as a teether


You blow raspberries constantly, that is the first thing you do in the morning and have started grunting a lot too.  You are making up for all the crying you did when you were first born and rarely fuss at all unless you are hungry or tired. 

You weighed 17lbs 0.5 oz and were 25 1/4 inches long.


As always Luke can't get enough of you.  He is still loving on you too much at time and we have to remind him to get off of you, but it is all in love.

Looking forward to your 6 month check up to see how big you are but we are about out of the 3-6 month clothes, I think you are finally getting longer as well as chubbier!!

Sleep of course hasn't changed much, you are up around 10, 2 and 4.  I tried cry it out for a week but it didn't seem to change this pattern at all, you would just cry for 45 min - 1 hour and then fall asleep for an hour only to start all over again.

We are savoring every minute with you and know it will only be a month or two before you are mobile and our worlds will change forever.
