Conor you are growing and growing and growing! Daddy and I talked and its time to get another set of pictures done because you have changed so much. You now have seven teeth and there are three more popping through and one more showing its ugly little white mountain head! Your vocabulary continues to grow and grow! You now say PLEASE, Muffin, more, book, read, rice, truck, knee, bubble, Sarah and boat.
You have also developed a HUGE attachment to mom's old cabbage patch kid Clinton. He has sat on your shelf since the day you came home from the hospital. In the last two weeks you have taken notice of him and made requests to hold him and kiss him and that progressed to sleeping with him. Now you are inseparable and he comes downstairs with you in the morning and goes back upstairs with you at night. He sits with us when we nurse for bed and you seek him out several times a day.
Sleep has been coming much easier. You now have a set bedtime that Daddy and I work hard to have you stick to. At 5:45 we start getting ready for bed with jammies, tooth brushing, and stories. I take you upstairs no later than 6:15, we nurse for less than 10 minutes and then I put you in your crib and you play with Clinton for a few minutes until you go to sleep. Often times I have peeked in on you and you are sleeping with your head on Clinton or the two of you are in the same position.
The last few days you have also started napping in your crib which is a HUGE first! We started by having you nap on the bed in my office and then transitioned you to the crib. Its now been 4 days of crib naps and you have slept at least an hour each time.
Now - you have been growing so much its like you are getting ready to be a BIG brother! And.....two weeks ago we found out that you are going to have a little BROTHER!!!! Yup, that's right! Mommy gets to be Mommy to TWO little boys! Mommy and Daddy are very excited and we can't wait to see how the two of you are different and how you are alike.
So, now its time to pick a name for your little brother...and its going to be a lot harder this time around because it wasn't even easy to come up with your name :)!
Mommy is feeling pretty good but your little brother is very active and doesn't let Mommy get a lot of rest during the day or at night. But, we are half way there and summer is going to be gone before we know it and then it will be almost time to meet your brother :)

You have also started identifying body parts and you love to do so on Mommy and Daddy. So far you know eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, chin, knees, feet, toes, hands, fingers, bum, penis, belly, belly button, chest, head and hair! Here you are pointing out Daddy's chin!
