Saturday was absolutely gorgeous! We went to dance in the morning, then to lunch, then Sydney and Brad had a Father Daughter dance rehearsal. They learned the dance that they'll perform at her recital in June. We all went to the DC United - Redbulls game in the afternoon. It was a perfect afternoon for a tailgate! Connor slept through much of it. Thankfully we had an umbrella in the car, so could keep him in the shade.
Sleeping at the tailgate.

At the game.
Me and my girl!
A certain someone turned FIVE months old on Sunday! How in the world did that happen??? He's *almost* sitting unsupported, he's sleeping relatively well (most nights), laughs like a maniac (mostly at Sydney), and loves to stand on his strong legs. He's such a happy boy. Still no teeth, but I really hope they come in soon!
He was not too thrilled with the attempted photos.
We gave him his first taste of cereal. I was going to skip it and wait another month to give him "real" food, but thought it might help with the amount of spit up. Spit up is supposed to "peak" at 4 months, but it's not getting much better. We're kind of used to it at this point, but it is really gross. Poor kid goes through probably 5 outfits a day and there are days that I do as well. I can't even get dressed for work until I put him in the car seat. Bibs do nothing since he misses them and ends up soaking the rest of his clothing. He's already on Zantac and his dose is constantly adjusted for his weight (one advantage to the many doctors visits we had in March). It's also just for "practice" at this point since there's no nutritional value to the cereal. I don't think it's helped his poor tummy at all, but it will at least get him used to the spoon. He wasn't too sure...
Connor thought dad was pretty funny :) He laughed and laughed and laughed while I ran some errands :)
Have I mentioned that I love his daycare? This was one of the photos that popped up on my phone while I was at work on Monday :) Makes me so happy!
Bubbles!
Big boy! He can stand and turn the exersaucer around now. His legs are SO strong and he'll even stand when just holding on to our hands!
Thank you Aunt Jenny for Connor's new jammies! Sorry his hands are ALWAYS in his mouth...makes it hard to take a decent photo. Hope those darn teeth pop through soon!
We realized on Monday that Sydney's school is closed Thursday, Friday, and Monday. Quite possibly the most inconvenient "spring break" a daycare/school could have! Montgomery County Public Schools have spring break this week, so there are tons of options for camps and such for this week, but also being closed on Monday is difficult. Turns out that Connor's school can take Sydney on Thursday (they have extra spots available for kids who are enrolled in the before/after school program on days when the county is closed), but that doesn't help for Friday or Monday. Since she's enrolled for the summer already, they're allowing us to bring her on Thursday. His school is also closed on Friday and can't take her on Monday because the county schools are open (even though she doesn't yet attend a county public school). Oy. So she'll go to his school on Thursday and Brad and I will handle Friday and Monday somehow. I see lots of Frozen viewings in Sydney's future!!! I'm SUPER busy at work right now, so this couldn't have come at a more inconvenient time.
I've had to do a lot more travel for work lately (thankfully just to Philly for day trips). Brad was on kid duty yesterday morning and evening, but I got home before bed time, so got some time with the kids. Sydney was looking at the fish and then pretended to be a fish herself. It made Connor absolutely crack up. He must have laughed for 10 minutes straight.
We have a wedding to go to on Friday, so that should be fun! Then we're REALLY looking forward to a "down" weekend. Since it's spring break, there's no dance on Saturday. And of course, Easter is Sunday, so I'm assuming we'll get a visit from the Easter Bunny :) Being dairy free with all of the candy around is going to be hard!
Hope everyone is doing well. We'll see some of you at Beanie's graduation in a few short weeks...can't wait!
