2 months old already!

It's hard to believe Connor is already 2 months old! These pics were taken on his 2 month birthday. He's getting so big! At his 2 month check-up, he weighed 10 pounds 11 ounces and was 23 inches long.

Sleeping in the crib!

We decided that we would try to have Connor out of the bassinet our room by the time he was 8 weeks old. Last Friday night, we decided to try swaddling him up tight and putting him in his crib just to see what would happen. It worked! He slept just fine in there! (not through the night, but for a couple hours at a time) Yippee, Nick and I can now sleep much better too!! (Connor is still congested so he snores...LOUD) We spent the first night staring at the monitor to make sure he was ok. Since then, we have become a little more relaxed about it since he is only in the room next door. So now big boy Connor takes his naps and sleeps at night in his crib. yay!

Big Boy

We think Connor is getting huge! Last week at the doctor he was a whoppin' 8 pounds 14 ounces...he has come a long ways since his 5 pounds 11 ounces days. He's still pretty bald and he's hanging on to those beautiful blue eyes. I hope he keeps them! Melissa came down to visit yesterday and took these great pics.

Smiles!

I'm so excited! I finally caught Connor's cute little smile on camera this morning!!

Sick Baby

Well Connor got his first cold. He started not feeling well last Tuesday and it's been getting worse all week. By Wednesday morning, he started coughing and sounded like a chain smoker. It is so sad to see him cough like that and watch him struggle to catch his breath. When he wasn't coughing he was wheezing a lot. After talking to the doctor a couple times, he said to just lay low, use the humidifier, nose drops, and make sure he didn't get a temp or get worse. We tried that for a few days but this morning he really looked bad and so we decided to take him to the walk in clinic at our doctor's office. He was able to see his doctor's partner doctor which was nice. Anyways, he said it was just a cold but wanted to treat it "aggressively" since he was so young and little. So here we are using a nebulizer every 6 hours, squirting nose drops in his nose and using the booger sucker outer thing (can't think of what it's called) every 2 hours, putting sterroid rash cream on his face, neck and chest a couple times a day, putting baby vicks vapor rub on his chest at night, and sleeping with a humidifier. Geesh. Hopefully he'll start to feel better really soon!

Christmas Time

Christmas was a little strange this year because of the whole snow storm thing. We still were able to do a couple of our normal Christmas gatherings, but some were cancelled due to weather. We were pretty bummed out because we had something pretty special to show off this year!

Snow

It snowed a TON here in December! I was pretty much stuck at home for over a week. Nick's car was stuck at his grandparents house in Tacoma for a week. It was pretty crazy how much snow we kept getting and how it just wouldn't melt! I think we are all really done with the whole snow thing!!!
