Well, it has been another week since I last posted anything, but it has been a busy week.  Last weekend I think we just hung around the house and relaxed. 

Before going out to dinner

Sleepy Boy

Ohio State Outfit, they actually one that day

Taking a walk outside to see what Dad was up to.

Monday was Halloween so we just relaxed all day, and then we got ready for trick or treat around 5:30.  We went outside a little before 6 so we could take some pictures, but all Cameron did was really cry, so I brought him inside and set him down in his swing and he was out.  He was definately tired.  He just doesn't like to take his naps in the afternoon when his mommy wants him to take a nap.  He slept for an hour and then got up and ate for a half hour.  So he pretty much missed all of trick or treating, but we were able to see our old neighbors.  They always come by at then end, so they got to see Cameron and it was great to see them again.  I definately miss having them around. 

My Little Monster

Carson's a pumpkin

He really looks like a Monster in this one

Tuesday we went to Lebanon to eat lunch with my parents and brother, and of course Cameron wanted to eat when it was time for us to eat, so I fed him a bottle at the restaurant and then my mom finished burping him so I could eat my food.  After that I had a hair appointment, and my mom held him and he slept while I was getting that done.  Then we went to my Grandma Hick's so she could see him.  He was a little sleepy there too, but was also hungry so I had to feed him there too.  She really enjoys seeing Cameron.  Once we got Cameron in the car he fell asleep again and slept until I got home.

Wednesday we hung around the house again and didn't do a whole lot.  Although I did get my closet and drawers cleaned out in between feeding, changing, and playing with Cameron.  He only likes to take about an hour nap in the afternoons, so it is hard to get anything done.  But I did get that done, so that felt good, then I swapped out my summer clothes for fall and winter clothes.

Tummy Time with Carson

Yesterday I had an eye appointment at 10am and a dentist appointment at 11am, so my mom came down to watch Cameron.  That was the longest I had been away from him and it was about an hour and a half and I didn't like it too much.  When my mom had gotten there Cameron was already down for a nap, so when he woke up she went in there and he first smiled at her and then had a serious look on his face and wondered why she was in there to get him and not his mommy.  She said she talked to him for a little bit so he got used to her.  She then changed his diaper and fed him.  When I got back she was still feeding him, but he took a break to look at me to see where I had been.  After he was done eating we heading out to eat and he fell asleep instantly in the car.  We went to Chili's and he slept for a good hour while we were there until we went to Target and Mom banged his carseat on the grocery cart trying to get him in the cart.  He was good though while we were there.  On the way home he started to get hungry so I fed him as soon as we got home.  He played for awhile and actually laid down for a nap and slept for an hour unterrupted.  If you haven't noticed he doesn't nap well in the afternoons and it usually only lasts an hour or so and usually crys in the middle of it.  He woke up around 5:15 so I fed him again and then he needed a bath.  He has some craddle cap as well, so I read that you can put baby oil in there hair for about 15 minutes to loosen up the dry skin and then wash their hair.  So I put some oil in his hair and let him play on his mat for about 15 minutes while I got his bath stuff together.  Yesterday was his first bath in the tub, he has quickly outgrown the sink.  He did really well and got to stretch out quite a bit.  He even kicked his legs and splashed a little bit.  I did get quite a bit of dead skin off of his scalp, so hopefully that takes care of that. 

First Bath In the Tub!!

Cameron continues to do great at night and usually goes to sleep between 10 and 11 and sleeps until I wake him up between 8 and 8:30.  He is still sleepy at that time, so I am debating back and forth whether or not to let him sleep until 9, because sometimes he eats and falls asleep.  We will see how it goes, he is just doing so good at night time I don't want to mess his schedule up too much. 

Cameron is still becoming more and more alert everyday.  He watches us where ever we go.  He pays more attention to Carson and what he is doing.  He laughs alot and is even screaming when he gets excited when he is playing.  It is pretty funny.  He loves to play with his hands and they are usually in his mouth the majority of the time.  He is getting stronger and stronger with tummy time and even pushed up a little bit the other night.  He is such a good baby and we are truely blessed.  Well here are pictures from the past week.  Enjoy!!!
