Day 275:
It's another milestone day for you, Boy'O. 9 months old! It seems so insignificant in comparison to the bigger picture, Conor. 9 months for an old guy like me seems to happen in an instant. But 9 months for a young baby boy equates to 275 days of dramatic changes, and right before our very eyes. So of course, that would mean today would be no different.
Upon returning home from work Mommy had you laid out on the floor to play in your room. But your newest trick? Holding your hands under your chest and pushing yourself up! Much like a pushup in fact, and a big step toward making your first move to crawl... I for one was impressed. Very impressed... And on the 9 month anniversary of your joining us? Epic!
After a bit of playtime we headed out to meet the Fitzgeralds at Red Robin because that's their boys' favorite restaurant, and given recent events with young Hayden Fitzgerald having to spend some significant time in the hospital due to a blood disorder, all he wanted when he got out was to get a cheeseburger! And you know, I can't speak for everybody, but after I spend a few days around the men and women in white coats, I like a good cheeseburger also...
It was great meeting up with the Fitzgeralds, or the "Fitzys" as we call them. It'd been some time since we'd seen them and their boys are big fans of yours... Any opportunity to hang out with you, Boy'O, and they're jumping at the chance. Though after a burger and pint or two of Guinness (for me, not you - that would be wrong) we headed back to the house to get you to bed. For tomorrow you'll be 9 months and a day, and you need all the rest you can get, Son. You've got a lot of growing to do.
I love you, Conor.
