Conor's Lazy Saturday

Day 25:

Last night was what will no doubt become one of many restless nights, Conor. Quite plainly, you had no interest in going to sleep before 4:00am. And even then, you were up again at 7:00am, raring to go. Mommy and me marveled as to where in that tiny body you were storing all your energy! It seems your sleeping throughout the day would only spell trouble for when it was time to hit the rack, but then again I have no idea how to keep you awake! At this point you can't do anything so we're kinda at the mercy of your own internal clock... If it's any indicator as to what that'll mean for you down the road, Son, you'll be a "night person" like your old-man.

Anyway, this also meant that, while Mommy and me were sapped of our own energy throughout the day, you just slept the day away. There was plenty to do in the house today. Took down the Christmas tree, packed away all the ornaments, cleaned the house top to bottom... And through it all, not a fuss... Not when the dogs were barking at the vacuum, not with my music playing; its sound filling up the whole house. Nope, not a flinch. And we know you passed your hearing test! You were simply sacked out, Son. Conor An Chroí Lion, recovering from a long and wild night! (Not that I would know anything about that, Son)

Finally a reprieve though... After busting our humps to get this place all cleaned up, your Uncle Paul, Aunt Jennifer, and Little Cousin Nathan came by to hang out a couple hours. It was absolutely surreal to look at Nathan in comparison to you, Conor. He's fifteen months old, you're technically negative one month old (36 weeks gestational age), and Nathan may as well have been a teenager. He looked HUGE next to you! As evidenced in the picture above... Still, I know it won't be long until you're every bit as big as Nathan, Son. And you guys are gonna no doubt be great friends...

Good game on TV, Boy. I'm all to happy to watch it with you. The first round of the NFL playoffs; an NFC match up between the New Orleans Saints and the Detroit Lions. An aerial show down! And I get to watch it with my Son... Just like I used to watch football with my Dad. It really is the little things...

Love you, Conor.
