Week 5

Cameron is getting bigger, a little bit more manageable, and we're finally getting a bit more sleep.  As tired as we are, each day is so fun as everything seems to be a new "first".

First collared shirt and sweater vest, like Daddy.


First walk outside.


First band aid!  
Cameron went to the pediatrician for his 4 week check-up.  He measured 25-50th percentile for height (21 inches); 50-75th percentile for weight (10lbs 6 oz), and 50th percentile for head circumference.  So we've got a chunky little man on our hands!  
The worst part was the shot.  The poor guy didn't see it coming.  He was just minding his own business on the table, and then reared back once he felt the shot.  His arms flew in the air and he started screaming at the top of his lungs.  It was heartbreaking.  While I know that his vaccines will protect him and keep him healthy in the long run, it was so sad to watch.  (He cried almost as much as I did.)  He was pretty fussy the rest of the afternoon, so I gave him some infant Tylenol.  Let's just say, he slept like a dream for the rest of the day and night!  :)


Cameron is finally out of his glider and sleeping in his bassinet.  He sleeps swaddled at night, so this is him just taking a quick nap.  
 

I was hanging out with Cameron, and had Animal Planet on TV.  It happened to catch  Nola's eye, and she was just mesmerized by this basset hound!
 

Cameron is already getting so big.  We didn't know he would grow so fast and didn't have enough 0-3 month sleepers to keep up with his massive amount of laundry.  (You never know how many sleepers or diapers you'll go through at any one diaper-change.)  So, here is Cameron in a Christmas sleeper, since it was the only one that fit! 


We ended up having a huge snow storm, and Mom stayed in Charlotte for a few extra days, so we were able to celebrate her birthday with her.  We got an ice cream cake, and rushed Mom to blow out the candles as it was melting into a puddle on the counter.  As you can see, Cameron was a real party animal.
