Camerons check up

Cameron went to the doctors about a week ago for a regular check up. He is doing great. He weighs: 16.9 and is in the 69th percentile

length: 26.5 and is in the 82 percentile

Head circ: 16.73 which is in the 38th percentile. A little smaller than the average baby. But his head looks perfect to us!! His head is growing so we at least know his brain is growing! He also recieve some more shots. He did great!! He only cried while the nurse gave then to him and the he settled down. Cameron already has his two bottom teeth!! He looks so cute with them. He drools all over the place now. and loves to chew on anything he can get his hands on.

Happy 5 Months!!!

YAY!!! Cameron tuned 5 months today!! We love you Cameron!

Snow mobile fun!

We took our snow mobile out over a week ago and rode around in our yard. We had a lot of fun. Aidan rode on with Rich for a while and loved it. Everytime they would go down the hill he would yell "weeee" My brother Ryan also got on and rode around for a little bit. I think he had a perment smile the whole time. I also had a blast.

I think this is a Picture of when Ryan was on it.

Christmas!!

We spent Christmas with my side of the family, it was nice to just stay home and relax without having to worry to go anywhere. My sister Jess came to visit for the holidays. I was just realizing I didn't get any pics of her with the kids...maybe mom has some. (sorry Jess) Infact I didn't take very many pictures at all this Christmas. I guess I was just to busy with the boys. Reguardless, we had a ton of fun!

I love this piture of the three of them sleeping. Just look at Aidan with his arm around Cameron!

Aidan and Uncle Jason playing with his toys!

Daddy and Cameron

Yay for rattles.

Auntie Amanda and Baby Santa (by the way this is a really good Picture of you!)

Autie and Aidan...So cute

Aidan and one of his 2nd cousins, I guess you could call them. They were so cute riding around together on Aidans 3 wheeler.

It's been a while

I regret that I haven't had time to post more. Many things have happened and I don't think I will be able to remember them all. I will try my best. Unfortunately I won't post any pictures because our computer had many viruses and for some reason we could only get rid of all but one. We are thankfully going to get a new laptop in the near future....it's about time, out computer is 6 years old. lol So Thankfully I can use my parents NEW computer.

Cameron - is now almost 5 months, and is so cuddly. He loves to grab anything and put it in his mouth. He actually got his first tooth in Saturday night...boy was he a fussy one. I felt so bad for him. He loves to laugh and giggle. The one person who can make him laugh the most is Aidan. They are so cute together. I need to post a video of them, when I get the chance. When you hold Cameron now he love to grab both sides of your neck with his hands and chew on your chin or cheek. It is sooo cute. I love it. He loves making noises, especially with his brother around. He loves playing with rattles, (or anything that makes sounds for that matter) his hands and feet, hair (lol), his blanket with the tassels on the ends, and of course mommy and daddy. His favorite songs to listen to when he is upset are the hymns sung by the tabernacle choir. Yup that's right. If he gets fussy while driving in the car, I turn them on and he usually calms down withing a few seconds. Too funny.

Aidan - Is the best big brother Cameron could ever ask for. He is just so loving to him. Whenever Cameron cry's Aidan is so worried about him and usually goes to get him a rattle or anything that Cameron can hold on to. If that doesn't work then he will come to me and say Mamur cy Mamur ky. he is so loving. ( yes he leaves the 'r' out of cry) Aidan is experimenting with food. lol Not necessarily in a good way. He has been wanting milk in everything. The other night he had some meatballs cut up in a bowl for him. We'll he wouldn't eat it unless there was milk in it. YUCK! But he ate it and asked for more. Today he had some Cheetos for a snack and wanted to eat it in a bowl with milk. I was hesitant because I didn't think he would like it. well he did and he ate every last cheeto and every last sip of milk. He also likes mustard on his toast or just plain if we would allow it. I could go on and on, but I wont for your stomachs sakes. HAHA This kid just cracks me up.

Me- I am doing great, I am learning to manage my time with the two boys. Although it doesn't always allow me to get all the things I need to get done, but at least I am a little more organized. I am still having issues with my thyroid. So unfortunatly I haven't been able to lose weight, but I have been going to the gym almost every day. Eventually I want to start racing again like I did in high school. (one of my new year resolutions) As posted in previos posts I got my massage therapy license and have applied to work at my gym. I am hoping I get that position to start working in this field that I love so much. I recently got a new calling as the relief society secretary, I am excited and nervous at the same time. As of now I still hold my other two callings, which are: Visiting teaching supervisor as well as enrichment comitee member. I have a feeling I will be released from those soon. ( my mom is the relief society president)

Rich- is doing good as well. He has been very busy at work, with the many storms we have encountered this season. (we don't mind the overtime money hehe) He has been busy working here with home projects. and still has some to complete. He is such a hard worker, I often wonder how he does it. I am so gratefull to have him as my husband. Rich would like to go back to school at some point. He is just not sure what he truly wants to do. After he graduated high school he got his associates but soon realized that wasn't the job he expected it to be.

I would love to write more but Cameron I think is getting hungry.

Pictures!

I love this picture of them. Aidan wanted to hold Cameron. They are sitting in Cameron's papasaun chair.

Aidan was watching t.v in his chair and wanted Cameron by his side.

Look at his hair!!! I don't know what to do with it. hehe He needs a hair cut.

The Move.

Yup we got sick of paying 1000 dollars for a 1000 sq. ft apt. We had a hard time finding anything cheeper than that. Unless we wanted to move to a bad part of town. So we are now living with my parents. We hope to save up enough money this year to make a down payment on a house. I am so grateful that my parents have allowed us to invade their home for a little while. Things are going great so far. Rich and I are staying in my old bedroom. My parents have a big unfinished storage room where Rich built the boys a room on one side. I will post pictures later. It's wierd being back home...especially now with a husband and 2 kids. But we are having fun, and Aidan loves living here.

Exam results!!

On Nov. 20 I had my last exam for my massage therapist license. It went really well. I passed with a 92!!! I am so excited to be done with school, tests, and all the headaches of trying to do it all with 2 children. I am eager to start working part time. I just joined a gym and found out that they have a male massage therapist there and they may be looking to higher a female massage therapist. Yay!!! I just need to get into contact with the other therapist. I could also work at my school, they have a clinic where I practiced as a student, but they also have graduates working there for those clients who would rather have a licensed therapist. The owner of the school just passed away, she was driving up from another location in Georgia. Traffic came to a stop, there was a tractor trailor behind her who couldn't stop and smooshed her car into an accordian, her car blew up. She was a nice lady. The students and staff will miss her.

HOORAY!!

As many of you know, I have had some trouble with Camerons sleeping/eating habits. He still likes to eat every 2 hours. Even at night. Plus he doesn't sleep well at night. So for 14 w eeks I have only been getting 4-5 hours of sleep a night. He woudn't eat formula so I have been strickly breastfeeding him. Today I decided enough was enough...I can't keep living like this. It took around 1 1/2 hrs to make him eat formula. After that I nursed him to "reward" him, and then he slept for almost 5 hrs!!!! After his nap I fed him formual again, and he didn't have a problem with it. Yay I am so thrilled that this worked. I hope it will work tonight when I really want to be sleeping. I am still going to breastfeed him, I just want to be able to give him formula if I need to. Cameron now weighes around 14 1/2 lbs. He is bigger than 75% of the babies his age. Such a big boy. He is doing well and is now rolling over onto his stomach every once in a while. He always gets his left arm stuck under him and can't pull it out. Hopefully he will learn how to get it out of the way before rolling over. hehe. Anyways I just wanted to write to say how proud I was of him for eating formula.

What a week.

This might be a little to much information for some of you so proceed with caution. Wow this has been a crazy week. I am glad that is it over. Last Wednesday I woke up to feed Cameron in the night as usual, but my right breast was extremely sore and engorged. It was so painful. I fed Cameron and then grabbed an ice pack to bring to bed to sleep. A couple hrs later when Cameron woke me up to feed him again, I felt like I had the flu. I went to the doctors later that day, and they told me I had Mastitis. http://www.babycenter.com/0_mastitis_251.bc go to this website if you want to know more about it. Anyways I was to take antibiotics 4X/day, and was told to get lots of rest, and should feel better within the week. I am so upset that I got sick, I had started running and was feeling great.


Rich's Grandmother was rushed to the hospital that same day and was going into surgery due to an enlarged aorta, and other complications. While in surgery they noticed the aneurysm she had a few years ago had started leaking and had filled up her left side. After surgery she was stable but sedated to help with the recovery process. She seemed to be doing good until Thursday night when they had to increase her oxygen level. By Friday morning it was up to 100%. WE were informed she had no chance of living. She passed within minutes. She was such a wonderful lady. She was 83, her husband passed years ago from Cancer. she had 8 children, 25 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. She had a wonderful sense of humor and could make anyone smile. We will miss her a lot but we are glad she is with her husband again and she is no longer in pain.

So I have not rested. We were at the hospital for many hours and with the viewing and the funeral we have been non stop since last Wednesday. People kept telling me that I should go home and rest but I didn't want to leave anyone especially Rich. I wanted to be there to support everyone.

Grandma Wright you will be missed!!

Happy Halloween!!

Aidan and Cameron were able to wear their costumes 4 times this year. Once to get their pictures taken, 2 halloween parties, and of coarse, trick-or-treating. Aidan had so much fun trick-or-treating and didn't want to stop. He loved knocking on all of the doors and saying"trick-or-treat." He always said thank-you. What a good boy!!

Cameron was a puppy. This is a picture of Rich's mom holding our little "puppy"

"It's exhausting being a puppy!"
