...You start blogging from your blackberry on the bus. There is just no time to blog at work. But things are happening that are worthy of writing down!!!
Connor is the most amazing little boy. He's really developing his personality right now - his preferences are shining through, and while he is laid back most of the time, he is able to be heard when he doesn't like what is happening. Here are some of the Connor highlights:
1) He can sit up, roll over and over and over and get where he wants to go by rolling.
2) He is not yet crawling, although he is really working at it. He gets his arms up and one knee, but hasn't yet put it all together. We are not far from having two mobile children.
3) He still has not shown any teeth, but we are still in teething hell. It seems that, like Bailey, his teeth will come in slowly. This is good - it means they will be very strong - and bad - it will be a slow, painful process. Poor guy has been miserable.
4) He is sitting up in his bath and we have abandoned the baby bath. He loves, loves, loves the water.
5) He has outgrown the swing. Which sucks. The swing rocks.
6) He is still mostly breastfed, drinking about 20 ounces of milk while at school and nursing three or four times while at home. He prefers the breast, still, and Kelly has no intentions of stopping anytime soon.
7) He eats two stage one foods a day (generally a fruit and a veggie). He's a huge fan of bananas, carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes. He has tried many other foods, but prefers the basics.
8) Food is still very much a supplement to breast milk and Connor gets offended if Kelly tries to feed him anything other than breast milk.
9) He goes to bed around 6:30 PM, sleeps until the wee hours (usually 3-4:30 AM), is up to feed, goes back for a few hours and then gets up around 5:30 or 6 AM. He is taking about 2 hours of naps while at school.
10). He clearly recognizes people and has a decided preference for Bailey if she is anywhere around.
11) Connor is a belly sleeper - arms tucked under him, butt in the air. So freakin' cute!!!
12) He is wearing size 4 diapers, 9-12 month clothes and is a long, long baby. He's chunky - with super juicy thighs and arms.
13) He loves his exersaucer and bouncer. Enjoys anything he can put on his mouth and bright colors.
14) He seems to be right on track with his development, which seems slow to us since Bailey was always running so far ahead of her peers.
15) He is making one-sylable sounds (Da, ma, ba) but hasn't yet put them together. Three times, he has clearly said "mommy" while he was whining...but we don't know if it was intentional or an accident.
16) He loves his childcare providers as much as any child can. He gets excited to see them and we love them for it. They seem to love him.
17) He is working on his 4th ear infection and has an appointment with an Ear, Nose, Throat specialist on Friday. Tubes may be in his future!
18) The appointment with the pediatric cardiologist regarding the random blue incidents was good. He has nothing that they can find - not even a tiny heart murmer. Phew!
19) Connor has discovered his penis. When he is not clothed, he tugs and pulls at it constantly, all the while having a big grin plasteres on his face. It makes us laugh.
20) He is all sweetness and light, this boy of ours. He is easy to love, smiling and charming his way into your heart. Bailey is as in love with his as we are.
This has gotten long...stay tuned for the Bailey, and Mommy & Momma top 20 lists soon!

sounds like both kids are doing great.
w/the penis thing - Miles (and Oscar when he was younger) would grab that sucker and act like they were going to yank it clean off! So funny!
glad Kelly is doing so well with the breastfeeding. I'm really enjoying it with Miles as well. it give us some time together that is just the two of us.
