W-O-W...has life just zipped by in these last two weeks for anyone else? It's hard to believe that our little Connor is already past the two week mark. It probably doesn't help that our nights and days are still running a bit together...catching naps whenever possible and keeping Connor on a good schedule (and burping him even when it takes and hour in the middle of the night-!). Thankfully he's catching on to the idea of sleeping longer when it's dark out--for the most part--and I'm slowly but surely getting "used to" waking up at least once to feed him. Grady and I both laugh about how easily we had forgotten having gone through this stage with Caitlin--surely she slept through the night from the beginning?? haha. Another shock is hearing myself say I have two kids...whoa! Sounds so...established or something. And grown up! I thought I'd feel so much more responsible or "on top of things" at least when I had two kids, but instead it's moments of being overwhelmed and general over tiredness and exhaustion so far! But I know it's worth it. And just look at that sweet face, who couldn't help but fall in love with it!!

Flying By and Running Together...

He's so sweet. :) And as you mentioned about Caitlin, one day it will be a bit hard to remember these exhausting days! Sounds like you're doing a great job!
You are such a great writer! You totally expressed in words everything that I'm feeling too! :) I'm slowly remembering what this stage was like with Maida too!
I love all the pictures of the different facial expressions! He looks so different from his first pictures - more grown up! They change so fast.
oh my goodness those pics are ADORABLE!
I don't have a baby but life has definitely zipped by the last little while! haha
Glad to hear that he's slowly but surely catching on to the sleeping at night schedule and as for feeling more responsible by the time you had 2 kids... I'd say you're doing pretty well. And do we ever feel like we're on top of everything? I submit that we don't. Life is always kinda crazy... but that's what keeps it interesting :)
L&M!
so precious! he's REALLY a beautiful baby
and aspects in your favor are that you're not used to the new circumstances - you savor every moment (even if that means you don't have enough sleep right now) and - as you say - it is worth it! I keep praying for you so that you don't get too much overtired!
just found this one...
This is Elaine. What great pictures. I know what you mean about two kids! It does sound so established. There's a chorus line of that song "Karma Chameleon" that says "Every day, is like survival...." There are definitely days I feel like that (and sing it to myself)! It's crazy though how much faster it will go by with number 2, no time to have slow contemplation with a toddler around. I hope someday we can visit you guys! I didn't even know until recently that you weren't in Germany anymore. I guess I'm a little out of the loop! Could you send me a message on facebook with your address? Maybe we can be pen pals, or one time pen pals if the commitment is too heavy. Congratulations again!
Hi,this is maria. Congratulation!!! He's so sweet!!!
Ich kann es mir gar nicht mit 2 vorstellen, aber wenn man den Kleinen sieht, bekommt doch Lust noch mal so ein kleines Würmchen zu bej´kommen. Wie geht es Euch?
Ganz liebe Grüße, Maria!
Oh, Allison and Grady, Conner is sooooo sweet. I wish I could hold him. I definitely understand about those "in-the-middle-of-the-night" feedings. I had 3 babies in 3 years. Lots of wonderful memories. Keep a journal on the children. You will love to read it when they are older. I wish I had done more of this! Love you guys! Take care, and God bless.
