7 Week Old Update

Dear Conor,

Week 7 we were very busy teaching you the new routine.  Every night I made it a point to check the clock and right about 9pm I took you upstairs to begin the bedtime routine.  We start with a nice warm bath.  I let you play and boy do you LOVE the bath!  I talk to you during your entire bath - telling you what I am washing and that "its a mommy's job" when I have to wash your face and your neck fat rolls (which you don't love but you have gotten better about).

After your bath we go to your room and I put you on your changing table.  Then I dry you off really well and start putting on lotion.  You LOVE the lotion going on your legs and your chest and you often smile as I sing little songs about putting lotion on your body.

Next we go into my room and I wrap you up in the Miracle Blanket (which we have to thank Jill for) and then you feed until you fall asleep.  After you have been alseep for about 10 minutes I am able to move you from my lap/chest and into your bassinet. 

Since beginning this routine you have only had one night in which you didn't sleep for at least 5 hours.  You even kept this up when I shortened your routine on 2.2.12 because I had to help out Amanda with her work and got home late.

Your "little" aunts came to visit you this past weekend.  This was the second time that they had driven up to Maine just to see you (remember they came when you were born).  We went out shopping for a new playmat for you and I think your Auntie Danielle had a little too much fun in the store!  But, so did we as we tried out a few trikes for when you are a little bigger!

Silly Auntie Danielle!

You and Dad had fun shopping for bikes!

Your Aunts were thrilled to see the new onesie that your Daddy bought you and we took the following picture to text to Auntie Cate to show her all the fun she was missing out on!

Week 7 also included your First Super Bowl!  You rooted for the Patriots (of course) and wore your Patriots jumper for good luck!

You were so sad when the last play didn't go as planned and the Pats were unable to claim the title -you actually cried!  You are a true fan through and through and now you are looking forward to baseball season!

PS.  You are also a pro at FaceTime as this is how you talk to your Grandma Mary and your Aunties every other night!
