Has it been 3 months already?!



I really can't believe it has been 3 months already. It seems just like yesterday I was crying and thinking that I didn't know how I was going to manage this whole Mommy thing. Connor is growing oh so big. He's getting much better at sitting up and holding his head up. His new favorite thing...HANDS! His hands...he loves those things. They are always in his mouth except at 6am when he wants his binky...or to get in bed with Mommy. That's what I usually do is grab him and we sleep till 7:30 or later. I'm enjoying it while it last because I hear there is this thing called the 4 month wakeful...and it scares the shit outta me! We also rolled over recently but in all fairness he was just really pissed about tummy time and just rocked himself onto his back...but hey I'm counting it! We didn't have a well baby check up this month but Mommy got smart and used the wii fit. So Connor weighs in unofficially at 14lbs 8oz...which according to online puts him in the 66th percentile. So not as much of a weight gain as last month but still growing big and strong.

12 weeks & Doodlebugs!!!





Wow has it been that long already!?! Yesterday we got on the very unoffical wii fit scale and weighed in at...15lbs and 1oz! Growing bigger everyday...we are so close to 6-9 month clothes. Sleeping through the night sure is making me feel rested...I wake up one happy baby. Well unless Momma takes forever to come get me. I also go crazy for the following 4 words..."Wanna wear your Doodlebug?!?" Don't know if its the voice, the orange onsie w/Doddlebug on it or again my crazy hair in the am!

Start of a new trend?



After we got back from Seaside we decided we were going to move Connor into his crib. That's why we put all of that effort into his room ...so he would sleep in it right? The 1st night he woke up a few times after I put him down...we shoved (not really shoved!) the binky back in his mouth and off to dream land he went. Sid was concerned he was scared by his mobile...but I left it up anyway. About 2:30ish he was makin noises and fussin and I was sick of getting up to put the binky in his mouth so I brought him to bed with us...he slept till 8:30. At this point I thought maybe he was not ready for his crib. I spent all day monday trying to get him to nap in his crib...only for him to wake up SCREAMING! Oh but he did nap just fine in his swing and again later in the evening in Daddy's arms. GREAT I'm thinking...late nap is going to mean a LONG night for Mommy! Well I fed him as much as I could then went upstairs and rocked him to sleep...plopped him down in his bed, covered him up and left the room. I got ready for bed just waiting for him to wake up and need comforting...silence! Ok now I'm worried ...must go check if he's breathing...he is! I climb into bed...it's 11:05 both baby and Daddy are asleep and I followed quickly. I wake up at 3:27 wondering why I am dreaming about Jon Gosslin and with a sudden urge to pee...then I realize...CONNOR oh my goodness I haven't heard him. I practically run to towards his room...but I have to pee 1st and I can't hold it. Well there Connor is sleeping soundly...almost sideways?!?! Hmmm I did not put him down that way...back to bed I go. Cough Cough Cough...not Connor...ME! Ugh now I can't sleep. I lay awake for about an hour and it seemed once I finally fell asleep Sid's alarm was going off. Instead of getting up I tell him to check Connor...he must of been fine because next thing I know Sid's kissing me goodbye...back to sleep I go. Connor finally woke up at 7:30. He slept nearly 9 hours...without a peep! Please please tell me this will last!!
