A Social Weekend

Dear Conor,

You had a very busy weekend!  Yesterday (1/21/2012) we started the day out with a nice bath and then you took a short relaxing nap in your crib while I showered, dressed, and stripped my bed.  You had your glowing seahorse to keep you company (you got it from GG Irene at Christmas)

After I took you out of the crib it was time for me to fold some laundry.  I often fold laundry in my room and so you hung out in our bed while I folded many loads of laundry.  You were very content to relax in my bed leaning against the pillows watching me.

 After our morning chores were done it was time to go and visit with Grandpa Tom.  We stayed for about 2 hours.  He loved on your and remarked at how much you had grown.  You enjoyed spending time with him and you even cooed for him a few times.

 After your visit with Grandpa Tom we went over to Grandma Jakan's house so that we could check on GG Irene who had just come home the day before.  Everyone seemed in good spirits and we stayed for about an hour to have dinner with GG Irene before heading home for the night.  You had a lot of trouble sleeping last night and I ended up having to bring you into your room with me so that Dad and Hunter could get their sleep.  This was the first time that we had slept in your room.  We have had to leave the room a few mornings and hang out downstairs but since it was very very early in the morning (around 4am) we needed some sleep - the kind you get in a bed and not on the couch!

You finally settled down around 7am and you slept until 9!!!  When we all got up we bundled you up to take you out for a walk with Hunter.  But, Hunter didn't want to walk because the sand and salt was getting stuck in his paws.  You were so comfortable in your Moby that you fell asleep and so I transitioned you into your swing, warm fuzzy suit, hat, and all!

Morning nap

 After your morning nap it was time to get going as you had a playdate with our Tuesday Group friends.  The playdate was in Windham and it was a lot of fun!  We got there around 11:30am and stayed until 2:45pm.  You really enjoyed some of the toys that the kids had and so I am going to have to get you some more toys to play with (you have a lot of rattle type toys but you really liked some of the other types that were on the floor). 

When we got home the game was in the second period and it was clear who you were rooting for!

Go Patriots!!  Beat those Ravens!! (01/22/2012)

Unfortunately (or fortunately) you didn't make it through the whole game and so you missed seeing your team clench the AFC title!  But, because it was such a busy day you truly needed your sleep!
