The Big Snow

So as most of you know, we ended up getting a TON of snow right before Christmas this year on December 20. Up to 20 inches. Although we had some issues with snow removal (our neighbors have NO idea how to shovel and somehow don't realize that it is incredibly rude to pile snow BEHIND their neighbors' cars who have not come out to shovel), we made it through and were able to drive up to Rhode Island as planned on December 22.
Here are a few pictures from our storm:

Two Months!!

How is it that Connor is already two months old? It seems like we just brought him home yesterday...and at the same time, it definitely feels like we've had him around for awhile.
He's been doing lots of cooing and smiling and he actually had a sad cry the other day (like he had a pout on his face when he was crying...usually he's just screaming with abandon when he's upset). When he's on his back on his mat he rolls to the side but doesn't get all the way over yet.
Last night was his first night in his crib and he did fairly well. He slept for 3.5 hours, then for 2.5 hours and now he's upstairs with Ian resting. His pack n' play is down in the dining room and he napped in it for a short time yesterday. I'm trying really hard to get him on a schedule, both for when Ian is home with him for three weeks and when he heads off to daycare. I had a sad dream about that last night (lots of anxiety about someone else taking care of him), but I'm sure it will be okay.
Here are a couple of pictures of our big boy taken over the past week or so:

Cool dude:
