Con Man,
Yep. Mommy has dropped the ball with this letter thing. Having two little ones attached to your hip doesn't allow much time to do anything. Wouldn't trade it for anything but I'm not going to lie-- mommy's exhausted. Every night before I go to head this "I must do their letters" pops into my head. Why is it that when you want to sleep you think of everything that you NEED to do. Anyway, I found a second today (thanks to Mrs Jen reminding me) to write you. As I type you are laying across my chest sound asleep! It's your favorite position. It's win win for both of us. Mommy likes to lay down in bed and you like to lay on my chest and hear my heartbeat. Your daddy laughs at how fast you can fall asleep this way. I held your sister alot when she was a baby but nothing like I do you. I guess I'm just soaking in every moment with you because I know how fast you will grow. I never let Cam nap in bed next to me but I do you. I guess I'm afraid I will blink and you will be as big as Campbell.
We go for your 4 month checkup in about a week. I'm guessing 17 pounds easily. You are so heavy. Ha! I can hardly carry you in the carseat anymore. It makes my arms feel like jello. You are such a happy baby. Really. So sweet and easy. You are sleeping from 7:30pm-6am (you might sleep longer but Daddy wakes you up when he leaves because you are sleeping in the bassinet in the bathroom). Yes, I said bathroom. All your cute little noises aren't so cute at 2am. We all sleep better in our seperate rooms. At 6am every morning, Daddy brings you to me and I feed you. I'm happy to say I am still nursing you. I didn't think I could go this long since I had to pump the whole time with Campbell and had so many infections.
You are in size 2 diapers (really should be in size 3 but Campbell is in size 3 and I just can't rationalize it yet). You wear size 9 month clothes and your sweet little cheeks are so big they take up your whole face :) Alot of people say you look just like me. Others say you and Campbell look alike and I agree because you have the same eyes but I love that you look like me. It's only fair since Campbell is the spitting image of RJ, right?!?!
I feed you formula the last meal of the day around 7pm. You are still eating every 3-4 hours. YOUR TEETHING! WOW! Drool is everywhere! Again, not used to this since Campbell never drooled but I have to stop comparing you to her. I mean, she's 20 pounds at 2 yrs old! You will pass her before your 6 month birthday I'm sure! ha!

Sometimes I feel like the second child doesn't get as much attention as the first. It gives me a great understanding from Aunt Lizzy and Aunt Ammy's prespective. I promise I will always make you feel just as special as your sister.
Have I said how much I love you lately??? You are so precious! You love to look up at me and just smile. Your eyes sparkle, too. Because you lay on your back at night and sometimes tilt your head, you have the cutest "bowl cut". It looks like your in the army. lol. You also don't move at night. Literally. You don't wiggle to the bottom on the bassinet. Nothing. Again, your dad and I laugh at how unbelievably still you sleep. He said your just like me.
When I picked your name I had no idea I would have so many people misspell your name. I guess I always thought "ConnOr" was the norm. I get "ConnEr" and "ConnAr" alot. Sorry baby! I really tired to find a name that people could say and spell correctly. We tried the bumbo around 3 months. You liked it but we still need some more head support before we continue it. I also left you for the first time EVER! The longest I have ever gone from you was MNO. This past weekend I left you with Daddy to head to Coleman for Aunt Ammy's baby shower. You are about to have a new cousin any day!!!! You will be in the same grade and only 4 months apart. How fun! You did great but Mommy missed you like crazy.
Campbell absolutely adores you and it makes my heart smile everytime I see you two interacting. You are already best friends and there is nothing better than sweet siblings.We love you so much Robert Connor! You and your sister make me happier than I ever thought I could be. I can't wait to see all the wonderful things God has in store for you!
Love,
Mommy
