Week 3 - The end of 2011

Dear Conor,

We make it through the first two weeks and in that time we made it through your Grandpa and Great Grandma both going into the hospital PLUS Christmas and the chaos that comes with it! 

On Wednesday we hung out at home and tried to give your poor little purple butt some 'no diaper' time.  We broke out your activity mat to entertain you a bit and we sang songs.  I am not sure if you can see all the toys on your activity mat yet but we tried hard to make you comfortable.  You weren't a huge fan of hanging out in the boppy pillow - we will be trying to help you get more comfortable with it because your butt needs a lot more 'no diaper' time.

Dad put your pee-pee tee-pee on you because he didn't want you spraying our living room (and wanted your privates to remain private).

 On Thursday I gave you another bath.  This time Dad was home and so he got to play in the bathtub with you.  You really loved having him here - he played and splashed with you and ran the water over your belly.  You loved having the water trickle down from the orange fish.

After your tub we dressed you up in your tiger outfit and settled you in on the couch.  Dad and I thought it would be fun to give you the remote control to his playstation and send the picture to Uncle Justin.  You seem to love the idea of being in control of the television!

After playing with the remote you did some more 'no diaper' time which you tolerated for about 10 minutes and then you quickly let us know that you wanted a diaper back on and you wanted to be held!

On Friday the visiting nurse came to check you out.  She said that you looked fantastic and she gave us some tips on how to get your medicine to stick to your butt!

After her visit your Grandma Mary and rest of the family came up to visit you and we had our Christmas with them.  We had already opened your present from Grandma Mary on Christmas Day because she insisted that we do it but you had not opened your gift from your Aunties.  They got you an adorable little turtle toy that we attached to your carseat so that it can go everywhere with you.

After your Cape Cod family left we went over to visit Great Grandma Irene.  She was so excited to see you and she perked up when she held you.  You were the best medicine that anyone could give her.  We stayed and visited for about an hour or so and then it was time to take you home for the night.

When we got home we all got into our jammies (well - you were already in yours) and we settled in for what would be the last full night of 2011.
