Thanksgiving and going to Little Rock

Cameron at Great Grandma's. This was her first time to meet him and his first trip to Little Rock. He slept all but 30 minutes on the way down and he slept the whole way back to Rogers. Looks like we'll be able to take more trips with him without stressing over how he'll do in the car.

This little guy is getting stronger and stronger.

Cameron's first Thanksgiving! Aunt Rachel and Uncle Steve came over to eat with us. We had way too much food, especially desserts. Pumpkin pie, chocolate pie, pecan pie, pumpkin cheesecake...we're still eating pie!

13 lbs 15.2 oz!!!

Yep, he's getting big! He's 24.5 inches long. The doctor said he's going to be a big boy. We knew that just from his feet. He was given his first round of shots - he screamed and cried. The nurse put a Bugs Bunny bandaid on each leg. He had two shots in his left leg and one in his right. We calmed him down, got him dressed and put him in his carrier. It was cold outside so we put a blanket over him and when I lifted it up to take a peek he opened his eyes. He was already asleep...before we even left the room! He was still asleep when I dropped him off at daycare. He slept a lot yesterday and was more fussy than usual once he got home. We made it through the first half of the basketball game before coming home because he was crying so bad. He's a bit more fussy than usual today too. I'm hoping it's because of yesterday's shots. I've got a lot of baking to do before Rachel and Steve come over for Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Daycare's Hard Work

When I picked him up he was sitting in a rocking chair (strapped in) and was cooing at a little girl that was sitting on the floor in front of him. It was so cute! They were just studying each other. I wish I brought my camera, or videocamera! He did well...took an hour nap, ate well, and barely fussed at all. The teacher said "when he's hungry he's hungry now". That was the only time he really got fussy. I feel much better about tomorrow. Stay tuned for tomorrow's weigh-in!

First Day at Daycare

I cried all the way home! I know they'll take good care of him, but it won't be me. We're starting him with just half days and then progressing to whole days to prepare for when I return to work (Thursday, Dec. 3rd). I'm glad I'm easing myself into this, because I don't want to start back to work this emotional! He's so sweet and he's starting to do so much now...cooing, smiling, kicking those chubby little legs.
We're getting ready for his first road trip this weekend. We'll be going to Little Rock to see everyone for Thanksgiving weekend. I can't wait to see how he does in the car for that long and for everyone to see him.
Four more hours until I pick up the sweet little guy!

Cameron Cooing in the Morning

We're home!

We got home around 3pm today. Mom and baby are doing great! I've send out a link to our new photo album. If you didn't get it, let us know, and we'll send it to you! Time to get some rest, we're all beat. Thank the Lord, Vicki is here! She's be a great amount of help. My parents have been great also, just mention Vicki specifically since she cooked some mean turkey pasta! Everyone is so excited. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts as prayers!

Cameron is here!!!!!!

Cameron came this morning around 10:30. He weighed exactly nine pounds. We'll have a full report once he goes to the nursery. Mom and baby are perfect, and spending some time bonding!
