First Snow Storm

Dear Conor,

Week 5 started off pretty low key.  On Wednesday (01/11/2012) you were still a little grumpy in the early evening so I brought you upstairs to my room to have some tummy time on my bed in order to help your belly.  You didn't love it but you eventually cried yourself to sleep (it took about 2 minutes!).  While you were awake I brought in a bunch of toys for you to look at but apparently they weren't entertaining enough to keep you awake!

Falling alseep during Tummy Time

And still asleep while I transitioned you to your carseat so we could go grocery shopping!



Once you fell asleep we decided it was a great time to head to the grocery store.  This would be your second trip there.  Your Dad and I are still shopping together for groceries (1) because we like to and (2) because your carseat takes up so much of the cart we often need a second cart.  Right now the weather is too cold for me to feel good about leaving your carseat in the car and putting you in your Moby while we shop - but I am sure this is how I will end up getting a lot of the shopping done on warmer days/nights.

On Thursday (1/12/2012) you and I stayed inside as much as possible because it was your first official BIG snow storm!  We got several inches throughout the day of heavy wet snow.  Your dad had to work and he wouldn't take my truck in case we had an emergency and needed to get out so we worried about him a little bit and checked in with him frequently. 

Your first sweatshirt.

Sleeping on your boppy.

You wore your first sweatshirt becuase it was so cold outside!  You took little naps throughout the day and this allowed me to get the laundry done and get things organized (or as organized as I could get them).  You also slept long enough for me to shovel a little path down the driveway and the bottom of the drive so that your Dad could get in when he got home - and I appreciated that!

I look forward to the days when you are old enough that we can play outside in the falling snow and build snowmen and make snowforts - but for now I am very content to have you want to snuggle with me while the snow falls outside and we stay nice and toasty inside!

I love you little man!
