Holy guacamole!

Cam slept for 7 hours straight last night!!! We were floored!! And thrilled to get so much sleep in one go :)

We are paying the piper, though; Cam's been off so far today, very cranky. He refused to go down for his morning nap at all, despite lots of yawning and rubbing his eyes. Currently he's down for his lunchtime nap (was totally exhausted) and hopefully will be his typical happy self when he wakes up. Raining cats and dogs so no walk this afternoon but Auntie Sherry is visiting and he'll have fun playing with her.

But we had to share the 7 HOURS OF SLEEP AT NIGHT - woohooo!!!!!

Cameron went on safari…

…this morning. After being attacked by a giraffe (see the scratch on the side of his cheek), he wrested the unwieldly giraffe down by the ear while a zebra, bunny and chicken looked on. He's a scrapper!! :)

After the safari…

Cam took a nap on his favourite pillow, our golden retriever Charlie, with his safari prize, the giraffe.

Sorry for the lack of photos this week...

Its been a hectic week with work and holiday shopping; trying to get all the gifts ordered online (after seeing how sick Grant and James have gotten, I don't want to take Cam out anywhere for people to breathe on him and make him sick!) and all the boxes shipped to the east coast. We will have time this weekend to get caught up :)

To tide you over, here is a photo from last week of Cam chewing on a new toy that's supposed to help him with brushing his teeth - when he gets teeth (still lots of drooling but no teeth :) ). We need to disguise the camera b/c he gets that wild look in his eye when we try to take his photo.

Chillin' on a Sunday morning

Cameron spent the morning reading about different shapes to broaden his horizons. He devoured the book on squares :)

Cameron's first Christmas ornament

Grandma Janice gave this to Cam back in October and it was the first ornament on the tree, as well as being Cam's first ornament. We think it kinda looks like him with the chubby red cheeks and blue eyes :)

Thanks Grandma Janice!!

Christmas tree a-huntin'

We went out today to get our Christmas tree during a dry spell in the midst of our first real winter storm here on the central coast of California. It was pretty cold (to us, although east coasters won't think 50° is cold) but Cam was a real trouper; he hung out (literally) in the Baby Bjorn from Auntie Trina and chilled with dad while we waited to get our tree. Cam wore his holiday Santa hat to get in the spirit of the day - he's not nuts about it because it keeps slipping down over his eyes :)

Bath time!

I'm not sure how we managed this, but Cam will be 3 months old on Monday (!!!) and we have not ever gotten any photos of him at bathtime! We both give Cam a bath as part of his nightly "winddown" routine and don't usually have a camera in there. Tonight we finally had an opportunity to snap a picture.

Bonanza!!

Cam loves to be bounced on our legs and have the theme to "Bonanza" sung to him. Why, we have no idea but he laughs and giggles and it has brought him back from the brink of a meltdown a few times....gotta love the power of Bonanza!

Now, if we can just find a cowboy hat his size and he'd look just like Hoss Cartwright :)

Sweating for the Youngies

Cam had fun playing under the gym today - he's doing great holding up his head and trying to do pushups. Kevin wants me to note that when Cam kicks his legs while on his stomach, he farts. Its pretty funny and awfully consistent! He's starting to rollover in his crib, so we'll try to catch that on video to share :) So nice to have a photo where his eyes aren't glowing red from the flash!!

Oh, and his hair is coming back; looks like he might end up a tow-head like mommy and daddy were.
