Connor Update: 2 Months Old

As you can see, I have been terrible updating the blog.  Being a mom is a full-time job, consuming much more of my time than I had expected.  It has been wonderful, don't get me wrong.  During the day, I tend to have time to do the necessities of life- nursing, burping, changing diapers, calming a fussy baby, laundry, attempting to put a wide-awake boy down for a nap, or taking a nap myself when Connor finally does take one of his rare long naps- and not much more.  At this moment, Connor is sound asleep in the front pack, which is his favorite place to take real naps.  (I'm very thankful for my Ergo front pack!!)  So I decided to write a quick post since many people have asked about a Connor update.

It is hard to believe that he is already two months old. Time sure flies. He is growing! As of his last week, he weighs 7 lbs, 9 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long. Though it still seems small since that is roughly the average size of newborns, Connor has gained over three pounds and grown almost three inches. He is still eating often around the clock, with a rare 4-5 hour stretch during the night. He smiles frequently, has started cooing, and is just extremely cute!

Well, he just woke up. Signing off for now...
