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 8: Mom caught Conor and Dad napping on the couch together!

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!

Frankin-Lamb

It's a regular episode of CSI Special Victims Unit around here! 

This is Hunter's favorite toy - his lamadoodle.  He has had this particular Lamb for at least two years and I have had to sew it's neck back together as well as reattach a limb.  It has so many stiches in it that we refer to it as " The Frankin-Lamb".

We have bought him new lambs and Santa even brought him one but he prefers this old stinky one.  Well, the other day I went into the dinning room to change Conor and came across the above crime scene.

It looks like "The Frankin-Lamb" is due for yet another round of surgery and another set of stiches!

Birth Announcement

Dear Conor,

As I am certain everyone has received their birth announcement in the mail (perhaps except for our friends liking abroad) I am posting it here.  Your dad and I designed this announcement together and we wanted it to show both your sweet angel side and your little devil glare that you give at times.  Can you guess which is which?!?!

First time posting from Iphone

I am trying a new format to make posting easier in my busy life. Let's see if It works (it is supposed to make my 365 easier!)

What a Baby Needs

Conor,

I have been going through your closet as you have outgrown several of your clothing items and I need to take an inventory of what you need for Spring and Summer since those clothes are now avaiable in both stores and consignment shops (I have also been thinking ahead to what you will need next fall/winter since those items are on sale in many stores).  We were very fortunate that so many of our friends and family bought you things in bigger sizes - we have a good start in each size range but you don't have enough of any one size to get by (other than 0-3).

Carter's clothing outlets (as well as Osh Gosh) have special promotion days so I am making a list of what you need and the days so that I can share the list with your family and also have a list running for myself in the event I find time to get to the outlets.

Carters & Osh Gosh - Tuesdays is double stamp days for parents and Wednesdays is double stamp days for grandparents (as of 12/2011)

You are currently wearing size 0-3 but by the summer you will be in 3-6 (or size months) as well as 6-9 months (You will  be 6 months old in June and 9 months by August).  Therefore we need a bunch of things in the different sizes to ensure we have clothes for you over the summer.

NEEDS:

Sleep & Play- Mom prefers snaps while Dad prefers zippers so a mix of both is needed; should be cotton or microfleece but not terry cloth as it is itchy.  Click HERE to see a Sleep & Play.

Onesies - we need about 6 more white to ensure I don't have to do laundry every other day.  Mom wants to find some white long sleeve onesies (they are hard to find) for layering purposes.

Onesies - Polo shirt looking onesies are on my list of MUST HAVES for Spring/Summer.  Click HERE.

Jumpers/Rompers - I prefer to keep you in what I call "all-in-one" outfits since you are a bigger guy and it makes your frequent changes easier.  Click HERE to see a Romper.  They are also better for your tummy because there is no elastic to put additional pressure on your abdomen.

Pant & Shorts sets - to make dressing you easier I try to by things in "sets" becaues then there is always a bottom to match a top (right now we have lots of tops and almost no matching bottoms - I can't have you looking like punky brewster!).  I love the overall shorts sets that Carters currently has online and in their outlet!

As far as next August - December - I am on the lookout for anything on sale in these size 9-12 and/or 12-18 that would work for fall and winter months.  This is why Mom is looking for long sleeve onesies in all sizes - because I can always put one under a tee shirt or shirt for added warmth! (plus, we like layering)!

You don't need a winter jacket because you can't wear them in your carseat but you will need a snowsuit for next season - I have been looking for one from LLBean or Patagonia at second hand stores but haven't found one yet.  I have been looking for size 12-18.  You will also need hats/mittens for next year.

Phew - outfitting a growing child is TOUGH!
