Happy 6 Months Connor Mac!
Hi everyone,
Connor is 6 months today!!! He is doing so great. He is not sleeping on his big wedge anymore. He has a wedge about half the size of his other one just under his mattress in his crib now. So Connor has way more room to move around now and is quite often found at the other end of the crib fast asleep. I will have to take a picture one night soon of when I put him to bed and where I find him when I go to bed and again where i find him when he gets up in the morning. I am hoping that by the time Brian gets home he will be off any sort of wedge support and just sleeping flat.
Teeth seem to be on the way for Connor. I know I have been saying this of ages now but you can actually see the bumps now. there are two on the bottom and what looks like one on the top. Hopefully he will get all three at once and be out of this pain for a bit. We have been really lucky actually with Connor's temperment when he teeths, he only gets fussy at night and crys at night about them. So he gets tylonle at night and some oragel type stuff for babies and that seems to help him a alot. During the day he is happy with a cold cloth or some cool teething rings.
I think I mentioned it before but if not..his physio guy thinks Connor could be crawling by April! He is already showing signs of trying and he is determined. He sits on his knees by the stairs now and plays with his car there or a ball. He will also sit in his bumbo chair and roll a ball back and forth with you. Of course he needs to put the ball in his mouth before he gives it back to you but that's ok!
We have also introduced the sippy cup. Seems sort of early I know but I did this with the spoon as well and Connor was taking food quick from that and it only helps catch him up sooner. So far he just chews on the sippy cup doesn't actually drink from it, maybe next month. We have just been trying juice or water in the cup. We don't want to do formula because come April we change his formula to one that is not for preemie;s (Thank goodness because it is WAY cheaper than what we pay now. One can of formula is 15 bucks for Connor right now) and the nutrionist suggested we change him from the bottle around then if we can. Then when Connor is adjusted to 12 months in August we can introduce whole milk. YEAH!!!!
All in all things are good around our place. We are looking forward to some new and exciting times and I am sort of even looking forward to baby proffing the house. Might make me a better house cleaner!!!!
Love to you all,
Ali

So, when are you celebrating his birthday? On April 20th? This whole "adjusted" thing screws me up. You say 9 months in one post and 6 months in another!?!?!?
Please God, do not let me have a pre-me...I will never get it straight. I can barely handle my own anniversary and Shawna's birthday.
Anywho, love you guys and hope that all continues to go well!
hahahaha, we will celebrate on the 20th which is his REAL birthday but we will also celebrate on the 1st of August which is his other birthday (due date) We only correct his age until he is 2 then he is just his age. No worries Uncle Nutbar you and Auntie Shawna won't have a preemie, we pray that no one in our family will ever have one again almost every night :)
