July

Hard to believe it's already July. I am still thinking as a teaching that I only have a month or so left...good thing is I have much longer than that!

Things have been going well in the Conto house hold. James is finally on a schedule and has been in his crib for a couple of nights now. This is much sooner then we did for Haleigh, but he seems ready. He goes to be around 8:45 and sleeps until 3, wakes at 3 for a bottle then back down until between 6-7. I find myself looking back at the blog when Haleigh was a baby comparing how they look, sleep, eat, etc. People are correct, each baby is different.

James is on sensitive formula, eats 5 ounces about every 4 hours during the day. He has some spit up issues and tummy pains so we switched him to sensitive. And he was having a hard time taking down the bottle (Avent) so we switched to Dr. Brown and knock on wood they seem to be doing great!
He's such a sweet baby! James is very snugly too !!!

Below are pictures from the last few weeks. My sister in law Sammy had her first baby Asher. He is the sweetest little boy!!!
Also we celebrated Independence Day and my sister and her hubby and my neice Madison came in town. They stayed with us for a few days, it was so nice having them here. We miss them so much!

Month 1

Wow...well a month has officially gone by since we welcomed baby James into our world. Warning...there will be tons of photos below, I didn't realize just how much has gone on in the past month until I sat down to type this up. Below are just a few of our events:
- We came home from the hospital, introduced James to our home and our dog Chey Chey:) Haleigh ignored James and I for about two or three days, now she is obsessed. She is such a fabulous big sister.
- James had his first bath: Very uncomfortable for him because of his belly button healing and his circumcision. Now he loves bath time.
- Cousin Madison was here for the week James was born with Natalie, Uncle Matt came down that weekend. It was so perfect having them in town!
- Play date with the Murphy/Larson/Reppard Clan...so fun!
- Miss Haleigh Nicole turned 2!!!! Our baby girl is so big now! We went to the pool, she had a potty at Miss Sherrie's house (totally going to miss her!!! We must have frequent visits with Sherrie and the kids) Haleigh had Gino's with both sets of Grandparents, and she had a huge, very successful birthday party at the hosue!
- Potty Training...we began working on it this past Monday, we are on day 4 and doing well! She needs constant reminders but we have gone out of the house in big girl panties or "mommy undies" and no accidents!!! (knock on wood) We have taught baby and mini how to use the potty as well.

Hopefully I will update a little more, I didn't realize how much of a slacker I became! Let me tell you what though, being a  Stay at Home Mommy is hard work, especially with a 2 year old that has the constant personality of Miss Haleigh and my newest squeeze Mr. James! (and Chey Chey!!!)
~No time to edit/spell check, hopefully everything is correct, James is crying and Haleigh just woke up.
