Cameron is definitely getting to a fun age. He's developing his own personality and is staying awake a lot more. He's eating every veggie I can find, and he's starting to hold his own bottle. He can drool through about 4 bibs in a day, and he will chew on anything - fingers, paper towels, spoons, toys, your chin. Cameron is sitting up and actually playing with his toys and by playing I mean tasting. Oprah is quickly becoming someone he can talk to. I'm serious. Everyday at 4pm when Oprah starts talking he starts babbling back to her. He won't sleep through the night, but I like to believe it's because he misses us. It's either that or he wants to upgrade to a queen size bed.

A new hairdo

When daddy is in charge of bathtime, you never know what to expect. I didn't think he had enough hair for a mohawk, but anything is possible.

Did someone call the bomb squad?

This is what happens when you start waking your husband up. Cameron started teething, and it seems like he has a growth spurt every night between the hours of 9pm and 4am. What this means is that he went from sleeping straight through the night to waking up once every hour. Yikes! I started waking up Brian around 3 to feed Cameron because why should I allow him to miss out on this prime bonding time. Well Brian was determined to solve this sleeping issue in no time. His solution????



It's called Baby Merlin's Magic Sleep Suit. It looks like my child is straight out of the movie, The Hurt Locker. If you haven't seen it, imagine grown ups in Baby Merlin's sleep suit diffusing bombs. Well Brian consulted fellow daddies who gave this suit two thumbs up. Babies have to give this suit two thumbs up because they aren't able to move much more than that. What's it like? Imagine wearing a down comforter that won't cause you to get hot. It actually seems quite cozy. We put Cameron in his sleeping suit, and I swear Brian and I both checked on him at least twice an hour to make sure he was still breathing. He lost his nuk a few times, which is not unusual but here's the weird thing. The second you put the nuk in, he was unconscious. Usually you have to rub his head, hold his hand, talk to him...not with the suit. It's like this incredible force field. I have no idea what to make of it. I have some sadness with putting him in the suit because he used to be a side sleeper, but movement is out of the question in his portable pillow top. He does seem to be quite cozy, and it's great for the cold weather.
