Fussy Britches

This is Connor's new nickname. He has been awake almost all day today and was kind enough to wake up every 2 hours to eat last night. I think we may be having a growth spurt, Daddy thinks teeth are coming. He is very active and fussy but we still love him....

The pacifier is a new addition to Connor's life. He has always liked it but now he LOVES it and will actually cry if it falls out or if he wants it. We think it is so cool. Its amazing to me that he can actually want something other than food now and he is communicating with us his wants. I just love it. Connor can keep the paci in his mouth on his own for the most part but it does fall out from time to time and he cannot put it back into his mouth yet...

Connor has moved up a size in clothing now. He now wears 0-3 months comfortably rather than swimmingly. Most of his newborn stuff still fits but not for much longer and the preemie stuff is gone for good. I have kept a couple of his preemie outfits for his keepsake box but the rest are going to be donated to the NICU at UW. It will make another set of parents estatic to see their little one in clothing for the first time just like it was for us and it is through donations that these kiddos get to dress up.

Tomorrow is the 4 month shot day. We have tylonel already lined up and are not afraid to use it! Brian is on leave right now so he will be coming with Connor and I (Thank goodness) but Maverick will be staying home. I will post tomorrow on how this latest Scharich family adventure goes.

Love,
A.

Pimp Nephew Master C is not afraid of a little shot. He has been poked and proded for months, so this little needle is nothing.

Remember Connor, use your power...up chuck on the doctor if he gets crazy with that needle.
