Weekly Wednesday: 45

A little too bright outside. :) 

We've had a crazy week!  Last weekend I took a mommy vacation and headed down to my longtime friend's bachelorette party.  It was a blast!  I am super excited for her wedding.  I suppose it has taken me all week to recover.  I thought I'd be good at staying awake until almost 4 am.  It turns out that even though I don't get much sleep normally, I still need to go to bed early.  I didn't get any photos of the action, but check out these sugar daddies... Rawr! 

Yesterday we started the day with a trip to the ER.  My dad had back surgery about 2 weeks ago and it was giving him a lot of trouble.  He ended up in emergency surgery where they removed two large bone fragments that were irritating the nerves in his spine. (I don't know how big "large" is when speaking in terms of bone fragments, but this is something that can happen with the kind of surgery he had and we knew this before he had the surgery.)  The doctor was confident that he removed any bone that could possibly turn into floaters, so hopefully he will be on track to heal up successfully this time.  His nerve is still irritated, so they are keeping him in the hospital until they figure out how to treat it.  I was so thankful for my Ergo carrier because a hospital is definitely not a baby's favorite place to be!  Cameron was even able to get in a couple of naps throughout the day.  

I am sure my dad wouldn't appreciate any hospital photos of him on the blog (no, I didn't even take one) so this will have to do.  This was a few minutes before nap number one and I would say it looks like I should've napped, too!  The super nice staff in the emergency room turned off the lights in the waiting room so the baby could sleep.  I guess I assumed that emergency rooms were always packed and busy, but we were the only ones in that part for the whole hour Cameron napped!  I think we were finally able to head for home around 6:00.  After putting in a 10 hour day at the hospital we were very happy to be home! 

We have all kinds of awesome plans coming up in May so I expect that I will either have a lot to blog about (I'm sure) or I will be so exhausted that I will forget to update (also sure).  My goal is more mini-posts throughout the week so I don't have to try remember everything on Wednesday (Friday).  

Happy weekend!

Weekly Wednesday: 44

Well I certainly haven't been a loyal blogger lately.

Little man has been busy learning how to pull himself up onto things.  In fact, when he woke up from his nap yesterday he stood up in his crib!  Might be time to lower the mattress!  Other than that we've been busy hanging out with Auntie and making sure my dad is taking it easy so he can recover from back surgery!  I've also been working on painting the stairway and upstairs hallway.  It's a bit of a challenge painting during nap time, but that seems to be the only time I get a chance to work on it!  I have a quilt in the works as well, it was supposed to be part of Cameron's Easter basket but I sewed one of my squares wrong and it was discouraging enough to need a little break from it.

I've been having some computer troubles lately but I ordered a new battery so hopefully that helps!  I've had this computer for a while now so I suppose it is time for new parts.  :)

And a very happy 2nd birthday to our sweet girl... 

Thanks Auntie for decorating Pepper's birthday sign!! 

Weekly Wednesday: 42

Here is my attempt at getting a photo of little mister's top teeth.  He decided it would be fun for all of us if he got all four front teeth at the same time.  Poor guy. 

Aaaand since it was so nice out for week 42, we did a lot of this instead of blogging. :) 

Weekly Wednesday: 41

This week Cameron's favorite game has been holding on to someone's hands and pulling himself up.  He can go from sitting to standing ALL BY HIMSELF!  He doesn't do it by pulling on anything other than our hands, but I'm guessing it won't be long before he is climbing up furniture.  

Cameron's favorite song this week is Old McDonald.  I can't wait until he sings along with me.  Singing to him has been one of the only ways I've been able to keep his attention.  He is so busy!  His favorite place to play is in Pepper's water dish.  Why did I buy him toys??    

Cameron is now working on THREE top teeth.  This hasn't been very good for our sleep schedule.  Hopefully once they come in we will be able to sleep better.  He has been napping like a champion though!  Usually he will start naptime around 10-11 and sleep for a couple of hours.  That has been so nice to be able to get some things done!
