3 months!

Conor turned 3 months old this weekend! I wish his pictures had turned out better but we spent the day in Jackson at Nana and Grandpa's so by the time we got home, the light wasn't very good in his nursery. Conor got tired of the photo shoot quickly.

We've noticed so many changes over the last couple of weeks. He is very close to rolling back to front - he can get onto his side easily.

He's also getting better at grabbing things held in front of him. He gets very intent and slowly moves his arms in, kind of like one of those robotic claw toy grabbing games! (and he also usually drops whatever he can grab immediately!)

He likes to put everything into his mouth and chew on fabric, fingers, elbows - whatever he can find. Lately he's been a very happy boy, for the most part, and doesn't usually cry when he wakes up anymore. Instead, he makes noises that sound like he's imitating a cry "Ahhhhhhhh..Ah, Ah, Ahhhhhh." It's very cute! Bedtime can be tricky - he needs to go down precisely when he's starting to get sleepy but not overtired, which can be hard to pinpoint.

Big Boy Bed

Conor is sleeping in his crib now at night. Tonight is the third night. He seems to do as well as he did in the bassinet in our room. The first night was rough for me but last night was much better. I love the smile on his face when I go in to get him up in the mornings - so sweet!

Halloween Costume

Part one of Conor's Halloween costume:


Is it too ambitious to think I can sew feathers on to a onesie for the rest of the costume??? We might end up with a plain brown romper!
