So, as I was looking through the pictures I wanted to put into this post about Connor, it was like having De ja vu. I could go back and find very similar pictures of Aedyn at this same age.

So Connor is growing by leaps and bounds, too. He has started eating rice cereal and he loves it. He gets very cranky if you don't get the spoon in his mouth fast enough. So suffice it to say he's getting chubby especially in his legs.

He has held his own bottle and he tries to sit up by himself, but plops over. We're still working on that one. He has his first go at the Exersaucer and his feet touch the bottom already, yikes he might be taller than Aedyn. In fact I looked at Aedyn's 4 month checkup stats and saw at this same age he was a pound and half heavier and 1 3/4 inches shorter than Connor is now.

Connor loves to be sung too, loves Row your boat, five little ducks, and wheels on the bus, anything that moves his arms around. he loves peekaboo. He loves to hear Daddy's multitude of silly sounds.

His head must be very ticklish, because every time we go to take off his shirt over his head he giggles. He's got a great crooked smile, with 2 front bottom teeth. He sucks on his fingers and thumbs constantly, he will not take a binky. He loves to be in the thick of things, (code for he hates to be by himself if he can't see you, and sometimes seeing you isn't enough he has to be held). Definitely not the independent self-discovery person that Aedyn is and was.

Oh but the greatest thing ever, consistently Connor is sleeping through the night anywhere between 7-9 hours. He startles, and still has the falling reflex so he still likes to be put down swaddled sometimes, so we are training him to be put down unswaddled with the sleep positioner, and hopefully soon we can put him down without swaddling and without the positioner.
