Connor’s development

Last week, we noticed that Connor was starting to grab and hold things. Of course he does not quite have it perfected yet, but he is definitely making friends with his little baseball all-star bear. He loves to hold it and chew on its ear.

Connor also started to drool about 2 weeks ago and is beginning to drool more and more now. Mimi thinks he might be teething, so we are on the look out for his first tooth (the books say that it normally comes between 3 and 7 months of age).

Connor is also developing the necessary muscles to sit up. He is not quite there yet, but is getting close. We use the boppy pillow and the bumbo seat.

Sponge Bob Square Pants continues to be his favorite T.V. show. He is not too interested in the Baby Einstein DVDs just yet, but will sit and give Sponge Bob all of his attention.

Connor is no longer being swaddled. For the past two weeks, we had been alternating taking an arm out each night and then late last week, Victoria put him to bed without the swaddle. The past 4 nights he has done a wonderful job without the swaddle.

He continues to sleep through the night (approximately 9pm until 7am) — something he has done for quite awhile.

He still does not like being on his stomach.

Connor is taking formula 2-3 times a day and Victoria is now breastfeeding him in the morning and at night (before bed). Probably another week or so before he is completely weaned off of the breastfeeding.
