Week 9: Naps are for Chumps!

Cameron is already 2 months old!  Where is the time going!?! 

Well, these days we spend a lot of time walking!  That's right.  The only way little Cameron will nap is if I put him in the baby carrier and walk out the door.  Even so, he fights me for at least 10 minutes (sometimes longer) before finally falling asleep.  Once asleep he'll nap anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.  We do this about 3 times every day; therefore, I walk A LOT!  And, my neighbors are slowly beginning to know me as the lady that walks and that has a crying baby!

Night sleeping is going a lot better now, although getting Cameron to fall asleep can be quite the challenge.  The fastest I've been able to complete bedtime is 50 minutes and the longest is 3 1/2 hours.  Once asleep he typically sleeps for 3 1/2-6 hours (he slept 6 hours once) followed by another 3 hour stretch and then the remainder (til 12 hours since bedtime) until waking up for the day.  Basically, he's sleeping a lot longer and only waking up twice in the middle of the night!  This is such a huge improvement from just a couple weeks ago!

Always putting his fist in his mouth!
Other than that there were quite a few firsts this month:  first smiles, first Super Bowl, finding his hands, first family picnic, first trip to Oak Glen, being able to stand on his feet (while holding onto my fingers) and taking steps, and first time (and only time so far) sleeping through the night! 

Also, Lloyd and I had our first date night since having Cameron!  We are so thankful that my mom was willing to watch Cameron for a couple hours so Lloyd and I could go to a very nice steakhouse near my mom's house.  Dinner was delicious but most importantly it was very nice to spend some good quality time with my husband and best friend and to have a little break from Cameron!  

And, it just so happened that we went on this date on the 6th anniversary since our first date!  Time sure does fly and I am humbled by how much God has truly blessed our marriage and our family!  We have enjoyed so many adventures and created so many memories these past years- some of the most precious ones just recently as we've welcomed Cameron into our family!  Life is good and God is simply amazing in how He continues to love and answer our prayers on a daily basis!
