Goodbye 2011

Today is new years eve and our last day in Chicago. It also means that i have kept up this blog for a whole year! Who would have thought?!

Cameron has been such a good boy on his first toad trip. He has slept well, giving us three nights of seven hour stretches and even an eight hour stretch.

Today we get to condense all of our awesome Christmas gifts , plus everything we brought with us and hope that it fits into the car.

This will likely be our most tame NYE in awhile, and I think the odds of me seeing midnight are slim to none :). Cameron is decked out in a new party outfit for today but hopefully he won't see midnight either :)

See you in 2012!

Mobile blogging!

We are currently on our first road trip with Cameron. We packed our entire house into the 4runner and hit the road at 5 am. Cory is manning the driving while i'm riding in the backseat on baby duty.

Since Cameron is sleeping, I'm spending some quality time with my iPhone. I just discovered the blogger app, so now I can blog from my phone! This is fantastic because Cameron is not a fan of sitting at the computer.

Hopefully my blogging will be much improved now. It's been a beautiful day so far and we have already passed Iowa city.

I added the few photos I've taken today. The sunrise over northwest Missouri and our drive by of Iowa city.

Merry Christmas eve!

Video Time

Cameron's two month video and my first time putting a video on here!

Two Months

Yesterday marked Cameron's two month birthday.  I can't believe he is almost 9 weeks old.  In some ways, it has flown by....and it other ways, I can see that its been 9 weeks. 

We had his two month appointment last Friday.  Cameron weighed in at 11 pounds, 2 ounces and is 22.25" long!  He is growing like a weed.  He is eating a lot more and is sleeping better at night.  We have yet to get a full nights sleep, but for the past week, we get almost a 5 and a half hour stretch out of him.  Its like Christmas everyday!  He is smiling so much more and "talking" to us now.  He also loves his activity mat and smacks at the toys hanging down.  Yesterday, I heard a grunt of frustration when he couldn't reach something :)

I've been taking a million pictures and clogging up all sorts of memory cards.  I've yet to start on his baby book...That is going to be an after Christmas project.  We are heading up to Chicago tomorrow for Cameron to meet his great grandpa, two of his great grandmas, three of his aunts, a lot of cousins, and about a million great aunts and uncles.  And that's just my family :)!  Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!
