Connor vs. the Giraffe

Connor slept last night from 9 until 2:40 and then again until 7 am!!!!!

Of course Joe and I think Connor is the cutest thing ever, but Saturday he had us cracking up.  On his bouncer is an orange giraffe that hangs down right in front of his face.  We were getting ready, taking showers and all, so he was in the bathroom with us sitting in the bouncer.  Every time one of us checked on him he was still doing the same thing...glaring at the giraffe!  At one point he even started batting at it like he wanted to kill it.  However, Joe and I determined that the giraffe won the battle because Connor looked away first.  

Since he did sleep so well last night, he has been the happiest baby so far this morning!  He's just playing on the quilt Granny Janet made for him.  Yay for a good day!

Quality Time with Connor

Joe and I had some super fun with Connor tonight.  Joe sang "Walk It Out" while Conor and I danced.  It was fun.  Now he is fighting sleep big time!

On another note, Connor slept 7 hours last night! Yay for sleeping.  Unfortunately, I did not sleep as long or as well.

I started working out today to try and get back into better shape than before I was pregnant.  Joe started working out last week as well.  We are both praying to get back into better physical shape than before we were pregnant because we want to be healthy for our baby boy.  It's hard when you are running on fumes from lack of sleep!

That's all for today's Coakley Family update.

He had the tightest grip on this. I guess he wants to be a musician like his daddy!

23 days old

Today was another doctor's visit for Mr. Connor James Coakley.  He gained 7.5 ounces this past week!  He now weighs 8 pounds with an extra half ounce.  My little boy has become a pig!  His length is 21 inches, which puts him in the 90th percentile for length!  He's tall.  I don't know where he gets it from, because I certainly did not contribute to his height!  

After the doctor, we went to lunch with Alison and Ashlin who were also at the doctor.  Ashlin had to get her two month shots.  Connor will be getting those on March 18.  The lactation nurse thought it was hilarious that Connor and Ashlin knew each other and that Alison and I joked about them being boyfriend and girlfriend!

Connor may experience his first tornado today...we'll see.  He did experience his first elevator ride today at the ESC.

3 Weeks Old!
