Birthday weekend

Hi Connor,

Sorry we haven't written you the past two nights buddy.  It's certainly not because we haven't been thinking about you or spending lots of time with you.  Saturday night the internet wasn't working and last night we were just too tired by the time we sat down.  I figured this morning I would recap the weekend for you since it was a big birthday weekend in our family.

Saturday started off a little rough.  You were still pretty angry about that mask being on so with the help of some medicine you took a long morning nap.  In the late afternoon you decided to wake up and deal with the fact that the mask wasn't going anywhere.  I think you wanted to be a part of the birthday party because you woke up almost immediately after Grandma arrived.  See Saturday you turned three months old.  Can you believe it?  Three months already.  Of course Grandma brought you a birthday sign to hang on your crib and a birthday present.  This month she got you a new pacifier which is awesome since you have been loving yours these days.  It has an elephant attached to it and mommy thinks it's pretty cute.

You weren't the only one with a special day on Saturday.  Saturday was also Grandma's birthday but she's a little older than three months.  Mommy didn't have time to get her a present this year but thanks to you I think you covered for both of us by being awake and happy with her.  You played with Grandma, Grandpa and Gigi for a LONG time Saturday afternoon and evening.  It was so fun for daddy and I to see you awake and having so much fun with your grandparents.  Connor you are the perfect gift for everyone.

Sunday was another special day.  Your biggest hero celebrated his birthday....your daddy.  The night before daddy said that all he wanted for his birthday was for you to have a good day. Connor you sure did deliver.  You and I started our day out with a good report from the doctors.  By the time daddy got here you were bathed, dressed, off the CPAP, onto your high flow oxygen and having the time of your life playing with Gigi.
You and Gigi listened to lots of music, talked, and danced.  Gigi said you were really liking rock and roll music yesterday.  Then daddy held you and you couldn't stop smiling.  Next Gigi finally got her turn to snuggle and you both seemed pretty happy.


After lunch you were getting a little tired and Grandma came to babysit while Gigi took mommy and daddy out.  We had lots of fun doing some Christmas shopping we never got to do and birthday shopping for daddy.  We even went out to dinner and ate some tasty nachos, one of daddy's favorites.  While we were out Grandma said you were a super good boy.  You napped and played a little bit.  You even helped with a special project that mommy asked the nurses to do while we were out.  You made daddy a birthday card signed with your cute little footprints.  Thanks for being such a good little helper and for behaving so well for Grandma.  What would we do without Grandma's and Gigi's?


Thank you for making daddy's birthday extra special.  As you know he is a pretty amazing guy and deserves nothing but the best.  You sure have a way of making him smile no matter what else in the world is going on and he sure seems to make you smile too.

We love you Connor!

-Mommy
