Project 366 - Week 7

February 12, 2012 - February 18, 2012

February 12: Your daytime sleep has been terrible but you finally fell asleep (albeit in my arms) and took a nice nap today. 

February 13: To try to help with your stomach problems we bought you a product called Colic Calm - the only down side to it is that it is black (as its made from vegetable charcoal) and so we have to be very careful with it (it stains clothes).

February 14: You went to your first Valentine's Day Party today at your friend's house.  Your friend N (who is several months older than you) wanted to give you a Valentine's Day kiss!

February 15: More fun in the tub!

February 16: Today we went to Yoga for the first time and after I went to a consignment shop and bought you your first suit!  Its blue and white seersucker.

February 17: Today you got your 2 months old shots but as the photo shows - you didn't have a bad reaction to them - you had a GREAT time playing on your mat as soon as we got home.

February 18: Hunter also loves your play mat and you do a great job sharing it!

Project 366 - Week 6

February 5, 2012 - February 11, 2012

February 5: Today your Auntie Danielle & Sarah drove up to visit with you.  We had a lot of fun with them!

February 6: You took a GREAT nap in the Rock n' Play today - this is definatly something I will suggest to other new moms to have on hand!

February 7: Bath time fun!  You continue to love the bath and on these tough days of yours the bath is our saving grace.

February 8: Chilling on the couch with Hunter - I try to get the two of you close each day and I swear he is coming around :).  I have a hope that one day you will be the bestest of friends.

February 9: A moment of peace in the swing - you used to not like your swing but now you seen to enjoy it. 

February 10: Caught your little tongue on camera for the first time!

February 11: More swing time - this time you sat in the swing while I made dinner.

Project 365 - Week 5

January 29, 2012 - February 4, 2012

January 29: Mom forgot to take a picture today because we just hung out at home in our jammies.
January 30: Today started a series of bad days in which you cried for hours on end.  I still love you but boy you were terrible!
January 31: We had a better day today but you were only good in short spurts and one of those I captured on camera when you were playing on your changing table - you love those turtles.
February 1: You again had a rough day but we did manage to have time for a family walk.  We used the new stroller that your Great Grandma Irene bought you.  You finally slept on this walk!
February 2: Our friends lent us their Rock n Play so that you could try sleeping in it since you were boycotting naps and you have had a tough week - you loved it and went to sleep within 10 minutes of being placed in it!
February 3: I tried placing you in your crib for a nap while I showered - I even put down a blanket so you wouldn't feel the cold sheet.  You lasted about 3 minutes in your crib.
February 4: You and Hunter hung out on the floor for a few minutes while I folded laundry.

Project 365 - Week 4

January 22, 2012 - January 28, 2012

January 22: We spent Sunday rooting for the New England Patriots....and they did it!  They won the AFC title and they are off to the SuperBowl! 

January 23: You and Dad spend some time together while Mom worked.  Dad helped you learn to use your new Binkie (MAM style).

January 24: It was another TERRIFIC Tuesday and we went mall walking with our friends!

January 25: This was a tough day for you and the only way I could get you to sleep was to put you in your Moby while I did some work.

January 26: We tried to help you with your tummy time by giving you someone to look at - your Hunter! 

January 27: I almost caught a smile on camera! 

January 28: Your first trip to the white mountains!  We drove to North Conway to do some shopping and sight seeing!





Zantac

I have been so very bad at keeping up with this blog between taking care of Conor, Hunter, Josh and being back at work full time.  I had planned to do a big update last week while I had helpers but I was surprised with a mini-vacation and spa trip which was amazing (more on that in another post).  But, I wanted to give an update on Conor and Zantac.  We started the medication on Friday 2/17/12 so it has been 10 days and I now consider it a miracle medication.  It did take several days to begin to notice any changes but I am proud to say we now have a happier (and healthier) baby boy!  It has been almost a week since we have experienced chronic crying and screaming and we are so very thankful for that!

He is still receiving the minimal dose (1mg BID) and I do not intend to ask for an increase nor do I intend to take him off of it anytime soon.  I think we will use it for at least two months to see if with a little more growing he is able to handle the reflux on his own.  It is a goal of mine to try to catch up on the 365 project tonight (I have the pictures but I haven't put them into blog for yet) so hopefully there will be some new posts this week!

Project 365 - Week 3

Project 365 - Week 3

January 15, 2012 - January 21, 2012

January 15: We had to leave the Cape today but not before I snapped this picture of Grandpa Adam & Conor.
January 16:  Conor's one month pictures
January 17:  Today Conor and Josh were on their own as I went back to work for a few hours.  Josh sent me this picture while I was working to show me everything was going well.
January 18:  Tuesday Group - Conor was excited to go and show off his new fleece hoodie and ski hat.
January 19:  Conor spent some time in Mom's office helping her get some billing done.
January 20:  Conor went to the ENT to have his tongue tie snipped to help him eat better.  It was snipped while he sat in his carseat and he was very brave.  Big improvements were seen almost immediatly.
January 21:  Went to Grandpa Tom's as he was up from Maryland for his monthly visit.  He was shocked to see how big you had gotten.

Project 365 - Week 2

 

Week 2: January 8, 2012 - January 14, 2012

January 9: Conor had a difficult day - eating and crying were the actions of the day thanks to a growth spurt (4 week)

January 10: Conor and Mom went to Group and then went shopping to purchase a fun summer picture outfit. Got this preppy look from the Children's Place at the Maine Mall.

January 11: While practicing tummy time Conor fell asleep.

January 12: After another long day of dealing with a growth spurt during a winter snowstorm (a foot of snow), Conor finally found a comfortable place to sleep - his Boppy.

January 13: All tucked into the car safe and sound for his FIRST official long distance car ride - we were off to the Cape to visit family!

January 14: Happy ONE MONTH Birthday! The whole family celebrated with cake at the BBC in Sandwich

Project 365 - Week 1

I challenged myself to participate in Project 365 - a challenge to take one photo each day of anything we are doing in order to document something from every day of the year.  Because this year is a leap year, it's really project 366 but I am going to label everything Project 365 in case I ever do it again!

I am going to try several different methods of posting until I find just the right one so please let me know what you think!
