Connor’s 100th Day

Still on maternity leave, Vivian takes Connor to Hillsdale Shopping Center with her mom. After work, I meet themĀ at the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. It happens to be Connor’s actual 100th day so we celebrate with some dessert.

Good Morning Connor

I love how Connor smiles the first time he sees mommy and daddy in the morning. On some mornings he gets so excited to see us, he starts shaking his arms up and down uncontrollably until we pick him up. It is such a pure form of happiness and it sucks you in, which makes going to work on time really hard sometimes.

Connor’s 100 Day/Red Egg and Ginger Celebration

Technically, Connor’s 100 Day Celebration was on his 91st day, but who’s counting. Let’s fast forward a few days for our next story…

On his 99st day, Connor gave us a gift. He slept through the entire night! It happened a bit by accident. Long story short, I left the freezer slightly ajar on the 98th day and several bags of frozen breast milk had thawed. Forty one ounces to be exact. Once breast milk thaws, you are not supposed to refreeze it and it has to be consumed within 24hrs. I guess you can say Connor had a bit of a breast milk buffet that day. Up to that point, he had only been feeding about 3.5 oz at a time. In his last feeding that night, he fed 6 ounces. That is more than we had imagined he was capable of consuming. Amazingly, he slept 8 hrs that night (previous record was 5 hr). It was glorious.
