Sweet Siblings

I turned on the cartoons this morning for Sophie to watch while I tried to get some homework done. All went well, Camden was sleeping on the big bed, Sophie was watching cartoons, and I was typing away on my research paper. I heard Camden start stirring, and next thing I know, Sophie is flying down the hallway towards "baby brother". It is so sweet to hear them interact with each other. Sophie is tickling Camden while he squeals with joy. The bond they share is something to behold. Never has Sophie shown anything but love to Camden. She was the first person to get him to laugh. I can't wait to see how their relationship grows!

Camden's Helmet

Camden got his helmet last night. It has cute little fish all over it, and Sophie is very intrigued by it too. He doesn't seem to mind it too much, but we will see how today goes. He is supposed to wear it for 3-4 months, 23 hours a day. So, eventually he should have a nice round noggin. He is a sweaty little boy to begin with, so having him wear it this summer will prove to be interesting. However, we were given a bunch of tips to keep him cool, and we now have a very good excuse to keep the house cool!

Camden's 6 Month Doctor's Appointment

We just got back from Camden's 6 month doctor's appointment, and all went pretty well. He weighs 21.4 pounds, and is 27 3/4 inches long, which puts him in the 95% for kids his age. He is a big boy! His physical development is improving greatly, but the doctor would still like us to continue with his appointment for Early Intervention as he is still further behind than she would like him to be. So, we have an appointment set up with Early Intervention for July 8th. Other than that, he is just a sweet, very mild mannered boy!

Sophie at the Doctor

So, Sophie has her appointemtn with her poop doctor, and it went very well! She has put on some weight (she's now 30lbs!), and her belly is not all bloated anymore. We had been giving her a lower dose of the Prevacid this last week to see if she could come off of it, but she will still need to be on it for a while longer. On the lower dose, her breath started to smell funky and her belly started getting tender again. So, we try again in four months!

Holy Crap!

Literally! Camden had the biggest poop that I have ever seen in my entire life last night! He was playing in the exersaucer, and when I really looked at him, I noticed that there was a huge puddle underneath him. At first I thought that maybe Sophie had put water underneath him (she was playing in the sink as I made dinner), but upon closer inspection, it was poop! I ended up just taking Camden into the shower, clothes, diaper, and all. It was so disgusting!

First post

Okay, let's see how this goes......I am sitting here pumping and creating this blog while I should be doing my homework, oh well, there's always later tonight! The kids are both sleeping, and it feels strangely exciting to be doing something by myself, even if it is just playing around on the computer.....
