Friday July 28

Hi everyone,
Things are starting to resemble some sort of schedule around here. Its not a schedule that is condusive to sleep for anyone other than Connor but it seems to make him happy, therefore his humble servants are happy. Connor sleeps for about 3.5 hours now and is eating closer to 80 cc's a feeding. So he is almost up to 3 ounces a feeding. He looks wonderful.

Today Connor convinced me that he is brilliant (not that I needed much convincing to begin with) We were spending time on our tummy's and Connor lifted his head and pushed his feet against me and rocked. I thought it was a fluke and so Connor did it again, and then he did it for Grammy too. He doesn't move very far or for very long (and he face plants but we don't tell him that, we don't want to discourage him!) but it is progress and something that babies between newborn and 3 months do so I am estatic. Connor was also introduced to his swing today, it was a hit, he loved it. We love seing him smile so everyone is happy when he is in the swing.

A truck arrived today as well. A Ford truck to be exact and it is the perfect size for Connor. I have attached a photo. It was a gift from the Phoenix/Grace family.

Mignon and Bob Zylstra met Connor today. Mignon made us all dinner and she brought over a prayer shawl for Connor that matches mine which she also made. We were so grateful to them for the dinner and the gifts. They of course fell in love with Connor as everyone does!

Love to you all,
Ali.
