Making it Quick

I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything and I have to make this one quick.  I have been very busy here at work.  My help doing payroll has left and we are transitioning someone to her role but he will need training before he can really be of help to the regular tasks, so my already full time job has become fuller.  With the hiring freeze here in Oregon we can't hire the second person we were hoping to get in here and get them going on this stuff either.  So somehow I will get by.

Conrad is four months old tomorrow.  He has his appointment Friday so we will see just how long he is and how much he weighs. Of course he has shots too, so hopefully those won't be too tough for him.  He had an ear infection but has gotten over that, he seems to struggle with nap time as he just can't settle down and wants something but doesn't know what.  He wants to suck but doesn't want the pacifier and will take a bottle but spits out the milk so he is clearly not thirsty, I am trying to teach him to soothe and settle down without the bottle anyway.  Once he quiets down he drifts off to sleep, and it only seems to be that evening time nap he needs to make it to bed time.  Sleep is really better now.  He only wakes a couple times and pretty much just wants to eat a bit and go back to sleep.

Next week I have a few days off with him at home and then he will spend a day with a friend of ours and a day with Kris' mom or Kris.  I think Margaret is set up to watch him, but I haven't followed up to be sure she really is planning on it and of course neither has Kris, it has just been crazy for me this month and time is flying by.  I can't believe it is Christmas already.

I will post more pictures soon.
