3 months old







I don't seem to be as efficient at my posts as I was in the beginning. I guess that is a sign of times to come. The good news is Cannon is doing fantastic, I can't believe he is 3 months old already. He is reaching and grabbing objects now, making the music play in his gym and shaking rattles on his own. He is holding is head up and trying hard to sit up. So far he has rolled over half-way, so I think all the way will be coming very soon. According to the bathroom scale we are weighing in at about 14 pounds. I believe it, because he is wearing 6 months clothes now.

The bad news is my boss dropped a bomb on me that he can no longer come to work with me. I learned this about 3 weeks ago. I have been scrambling for suitable child care ever since. We think we have it figured out, but it is definitely the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. I start back to work tomorrow with a lot prayers.

Two days a week he is going to attend Journey Community Church's Parent's Day Out program. A former student of Craig's is the director there and it is a wonderful place. So yes, it is Cannon's first day of school today, and I am sure mommy will shed a tear or two. All signs of how fast they grow up!!

2 months old

Cannon had his 2 month check-up this week and he his weighing at 12 pounds 8 ounces and 23 inches. Cannon also got his first round of shots, I think those 3 needles hurt Mom more then they did Cannon. He was a trooper and only cried for a minute, then was his normal smiley self. He handle them well with no adverse affects.

Another exciting update is that Cannon slept through the night for the first time last night! he went down at 9:30 and didn't wake up until 6:15 the next morning. I wish I could say the same. I still woke up for our normal 2:00 am feeding. I guess I need to get retrained now.

Today Cannon also took his first meal of formula. We are starting the weaning process and hopefully we will be down to nursing only in the evening and first thing in the morning by the time I go back to work, April 1st. I am very fortunate that Cannon is going to be able to go back to work with me through the summer.
