4 months old

Connor has had a cold for the last month which hasn't impacted his daytime behavior at all, he is finally settling into being a happy and content baby.  Still not a fan of being in the car, but instead of hysterics he just fusses and mildly cries.  He loves the exersaucer and of course being entertained by his brothers.  His doctor's appointment is next week so I will update with his height and weight but daycare just asked me to increase the amount of milk I give from 3 6 oz bottles to 7 or 8 oz bottles!  Hunter was eating 4 ounces at a time, I hope I can keep up!! At his 4 month check up he weighed 15.3 lbs and was 24.5 inches long. He gained 4lbs in 2 months!!
Sleep is another story.  While month 2 was tough because of the colic, he slept like a prince.  Now it is the opposite.  He is great during the day and horrible at night.  He is barely sleeping an hour at a time.  We usually bring him in bed at some point so we can at least not keep getting out of bed.  He cries everytime he loses his pacifier.  I am considering just weaning him off them now, they are more trouble then they are worth and he doesn't even use them during the day.  4am-6am is the worst, he can't settle back to sleep and even when in bed with us he is constantly fussing.  If the doctor gives his health the all clear cry it out is on the horizon.

We now have 3 frogs

Connor



Christmas 2012

I love Connor's face in this picture.  Luke totally loves him, but sometimes (most of the time) too much.  He is always on top of him and smushing his face.  I imagine Connor is thinking, "Are you crazy? you're letting Luke hold me?"

Connor's Baptism


Connor was baptized the day before I went back to work. It was so much fun to have our family and friends present and have Marella and Chris as his Godparents. 

 
Connor was fussy during the beginning of the ceremony, but ended up falling asleep for the actual baptism and stayed asleep even with the water being poured on his head. 
Look at how beautiful he is, we are so lucky to have 3 happy, healthy boys. 

12 weeks old

My maternity leave is almost over and I will have to return to the real world.  It has been such fun staying home with Connor, colic and all.  You still hate the car and the car seat so our trips to daycare should be a blast!! 

Thanksgiving 2012

Slowly but surely the colic is getting better.   These are my handsome boys and Gigi and Papa's house for Thanksgiving.  It was a quiet dinner which was actually a good thing since our fussy baby was a bit high maintenance at dinner time. 

10 weeks old

So we have entered the terrible world of colic which is why there have been a couple weeks since the last picture.  Connor is crying all the time, especially at night.    We had his 2 month check up and other than that he is growing like a weed and doing great.
