By the time you can read this, we will have moved to another house, anyway — one in a better school district, and with stuff that our current house doesn't have, like central air and a dishwasher, and your very first home will exist to you only in stories and pictures (and drive-bys, if you really want to see the old neighborhood).

But back to focusing on the present! This time is flying by so fast, I don't want to even think about wishing it away.

You still don't seem to have any teeth coming in yet, but you certainly have most of the symptoms: drooling, chewing on your hand(s), tugging on your ear, and being occasionally fussy.

Mommy tried feeding you rice cereal a couple of times this past month, but you don't seem to be interested yet. Maybe February will be the month that you decide that you'd like to try something outside your liquid diet.

About that... Mommy hasn't been pumping often enough to keep up with how hungry little Connor has been, so we've had to start supplementing your breastmilk diet with formula. You don't seem to mind. Sometimes Mommy feels guilty for not trying harder to keep up with your demand, but usually I realize that I'm doing the best I can. I can't take another pump break at work without my productivity taking an even bigger hit than it already has, and you drain me so much at normal feedings that I can't usually pump more than an ounce total after you've eaten from both sides. The doctor says you'll continue to get the benefits of breastmilk, though, even if we're supplementing, so that's a good thing.

Mommy and Daddy bought you a used Bumbo seat from Once Upon A Child, then got a seat cover for it from Amazon. You hang out in it sometimes, and Mommy puts you in it when she tries to feed you cereal, since we don't have a high chair for you yet. You like your Bumbo well enough for a little while, but we can't keep you in it for long, or you get fussy. That's true of just about anything, though: your floor gym, your Pack-N-Play...

As you can tell from the picture, Mei Kitty is extremely jealous of all the attention you get from Mommy and Daddy. If Mommy is feeding you, Mei will go try to get Daddy to pet her. If Daddy's home alone feeding you, she'll rub up against his legs. We try to pay her as much attention as we can whenever we can, but we feel a little guilty for neglecting her sometimes. She's used to being an only kitty.

You've had a few firsts this month, besides your first taste of rice cereal. You've also had your first bath where you didn't cry! Grammy said to try putting a towel in the bathtub, so your back wouldn't be up against the funny-feeling plastic. You loved it!

You also had your first piggyback ride and slept for your first night unswaddled:

Your biggest first, though — and it would technically go in next month's post, if this one weren't a couple of days late — is that you rolled over from your back to your tummy last night! While you were swaddled, no less:

You've been trying to make this happen all week now. Maybe now that you've done it once, you'll be able to do it again without the swaddle to help you figure out what to do with that bottom arm...

You're such a sweetie. Mommy and Daddy love you so much.
