Super-Frog!

Cam is modeling the latest in baby bathware; a froggy hooded towel. And daddy isn't trying to strangle him, he's tickling Cam :)

Stroller-a-go-go

I really should think more before I take photos! Cam looked so cute in his hat, but all the stripes are just mommy's bad fashion choice :)

Hard to find hats to fit his melon-head; trying to win an auction on eBay for a sunhat in the 12-18 month size; can't find anything like it around here in Paso, despite how freakin' sunny it is!! Already have sunblock - no sunburns for the Caminator.

The amoxicillin is doing its job; Cam seems to be feeling better and that little lingering cough is now gone (yay!). There is a new twist to his life this week; he's in the process of cutting his first tooth. (of course) Its breaking through and as soon we can figure out how to get him to not stick his tounge out while we're trying to take a photo of his mouth, we'll share the picture :)

7 to 7

Cam was pretty tired last night; he hadn't slept much at daycare, and went down pretty easily just before 7pm. We tried to wake him up for a bottle just after 10pm, but he was having none of it; the kid was O-U-T, out. So we let him sleep.

I seem to wake up periodically to check the video monitor, and around 3am, I could only see a lump on there, so I went in to check. Usually I leave the light off, just tuck in blankets and feel his head to make sure he wasn't too warm (from the ear infection). Well, I couldn't find his head! I got the camera and saw the munchkin had totally pulled the covers over his head and was snoring away (muffled by said covers). After a minor freakout (suffocation!!!), I pulled the covers back, and Cam kept on snoring away, not waking up until 6:45am. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice :) We know its b/c he's sick, but we still enjoyed the quiet night.

Trio of sickees continued - Cam's 6 month checkup

Cam had his 6 month checkup today - weight is 20.5 lbs, length is 28.25" and his head is 18.5" around. Still in the 98th percentile except for his weight (88th), but we (us and the Dr.) suspect the ear infection Dr. Nave found in Cam's left ear today for the slight weight gain. Turns out all the rolling around he was doing before his naps was b/c he was so uncomfortable, not b/c he was trying to stay awake, as we thought :(

Dr. N said that it was better to have let the cold he's had run its course instead of rushing him in to see her sooner as the ear infection wouldn't have developed yet to be caught. She said she's missed ear infections in her own kids as they can be hard to diagnose (very small consolation). Cam was a champ today, and did pretty well with the ear check until the last few moments, when it probably hurt that she was poking around in there. He's going on antibiotics and ear drops, and his 6 month shots are rescheduled for April 1. He's still in good spirits, so this bug didn't knock him down :) Frickin' daycare....its a blessing and a curse!

Wash your hands and stay healthy! We love ya!

Weekend fun for Cam :)

The Caminator still has a runny nose, but the cough for the most part is gone and he was in a great mood all weekend.

We had a GORGEOUS day here in Paso today, low 70s, so we were outside quite a bit. We took the dogs for a walk, and Cam spent more time watching them then checking out local scenery. After his nap, he played on the back patio in his walker while Daddy brushed enough hair off Charlie and Chance to create a very small dog :)

With the time change, 5pm rolls around and the sun isn't starting to go down, and we played much later than we usually do, so no bath tonight! Grandpa and Grandma Janice will be visiting this coming weekend, so we're all looking forward to that.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Really, it was THIS big!

Cam is showing daddy just how big the lizard he saw in the backyard was :)

Trio of sickies

We seem to have a SuperBug here in the Burjewski household; just as I was on the mend, I was felled by a new bug and Kevin ended up sick too. Luckily Cam escaped this one and its just the two of us achy, sniffly and miserable. He still has a little cough but its getting better every day.

Hope everyone is healthier than we are!!

The first taste of applesauce

So far Cam seems to be a veggie man :) Later on this week we'll try bananas and hopefully he'll like those!

Both Cam and I have been sick since Friday with your basic cold and cough. I'm lousy at taking temps, but according to my palm, neither of us have fevers :)

Cam's cough was disconcerting, but a trick we found online (rubbing Vicks on the bottom of his feet, then slipping on socks under his jammies) has helped him quite a bit. We did try the steamy-bathroom yesterday, and that provided some relief too. He's on the mend! That's cold #3 for both of us since starting daycare.....3 in 6 weeks!!!! As long as Cam ends up with awesome immunity when he gets a little older, it will be worth it...

A hat for Anne's baby-on-the-way

The good thing about trying to get a hat to fit Cam, is that I've been able to practice on getting the size right and can share the practice's with our friends. Here Cam is modeling a hat for our friend Anne's new baby, due any day. Hopefully it won't be *too* big on the new little guy, but he'll grow into it :)
