Out of Space!

Well, it took 4 years, but I did it!  I filled up this blog.  I can't add any more pictures.  I'm too cheap to pay $30 a year to Blogger for more space, so I have started a new blog.  It will be exactly the same, I'll just pick up where I left off here.  This blog should stay here if anyone ever has the desire to look at old posts, but I suspect only I do that!  So please join me on the new blog:

Cross-Eyed Cameron

I'm sorry, but this made me laugh so hard.  I hope it brightens your day as well! 

Newborn Photos

 Our amazing friend, Dari, took some pictures of Cameron last week for us.  They were all so cute, but I'll just post a few here.

 This was too sweet.  I'm a sucker for baby-and-Daddy pictures, though.

   

The owl hat!  Too funny.

My favorite!  Makes me laugh every time.  Poor kid was a good sport.

What Else? More Cameron

 

I get a kick out of the expressions this kiddo makes.  He has been busy lately...

 ...watching He-Man with Daddy...

 ...tolerating Parker's incessant photography with Mommy...

 

...being constantly entertained by any toy that plays music, courtesy of big brother...

 ...waking up just as the siblings are going to bed (and staying up until 1am)...

 ...being idolized by Parker...

...being mothered by big sister (the blankets are always folded over nicely when she's in charge!)...

...hearing, "Cameron's so cute!" 500 times a day (deservedly so!).

Proud Big Brother

 Look who is still so excited about his little brother. 

I sure like my cute boys.  Every time Cameron opens his eyes Parker is right there with a rattle.  He says goodbye when he leaves for preschool, "Bye, Cameron, I will miss you!" and greets him again the minute he gets home: "I'm back, Cameron!"  I think they will be good buddies someday!

Second Grade!

Just when I got used to having a first-grader, McKenzie started 2nd grade this morning!  She was quite excited, and actually only had to be shaken awake twice (she's not a morning person!).

One Long Week

 Cameron is one week old today!  It has been a long week.  He's yawning, not crying in the picture above.  I love baby yawns, and a sleeping baby is always cute... until he won't wake up.  Cameron wouldn't wake up to eat, despite being undressed, wiped with a cool washcloth, you name it. 

 He wound up back in the hospital Friday night.  I really don't even want to comment on my emotional state at this point!  But, after a few days of waiting for test results, Sunday he was given the all-clear.  He didn't have an infection after all, he had just gotten behind on his feeding due to his sleepiness and couldn't catch back up (he had no energy to eat, so he got more tired, and still couldn't eat...).  He started eating better and was allowed to go home.

 It was nice to get all those band-aids and tape off the little guy and wash him up a bit!

 Look who finally woke up and was alert!  We hadn't even seen his eyes more than a few minutes total because he'd been so sleepy.

 Here he is this morning at one week with his siblings.  They are still pretty proud of him, and were so excited for him to come back home!

Happy One Week, Little Man!
