End of the year

So 2009 has come and gone, and Cameron has changed so much in his short time with us! Some of the bigger changes I've noticed lately:
  • No more swaddling; it was great while it lasted, but Cameron just isn't tolerating having his arms pinned by his sides anymore. Sleepsacks, here we come!
  • Giggle contests; these are the best things EVER.
  • Hair growing back in; he still has a bald spot on the back of his head, and he never lost that "old man" ring along the base of his neck, but he's starting to sprout new fuzzy growth on the top of his head!
  • Hand discovery; chewing on the hands has become a comfort, and no longer relates to whether or not he's hungry. Oh, yeah, and he's been caught sucking on his thumb more than a few times! :-\
  • Switch to 3-6 month clothes; he's plumping up nicely, and has outgrown all his 0-3 month clothing. I love all the rolls and dimples!
I can't wait to see how much he's changed by the end of 2010. :)

Merry Christmas!

It was a busy few days! On Christmas Eve, we headed out to spend time with Chris's extended family. There were lots of people and many new faces, but Cameron handled all the commotion very well.

Then on Christmas day, we woke up and headed north to have breakfast and presents with Chris's family, then came home and had presents with my family, and then made dinner for both families.


We tried to make dinner more low-key this year by asking our guests to each bring a little something, but somehow, we still ended up taking on more than we anticipated. Ah well, it was still a good meal even if we ate later than planned!

2 months!

Okay, so clearly I've been slacking with the blog updates. I have a TON of free time on my hands lately, so I really don't know what my excuse is! ;)

But really, everything is great. We now have a 2-month-old on our hands, and he's doing very well. Gaining weight like a champ, and growing taller each day. See?



We're getting lots of smiles these days, and it's a lot more fun to interact with him. His personality is really starting to shine through!
