Yes, the second bottom tooth is trying to pop out as well. I'm sure it will be awhile before I can capture a good toothy grin of Cameron's. The first tooth hasn't fully come in yet. Considering the teething, Cameron has been pretty good. We've had a few longer stretches of sleep at night. Again we had to try and up his bottles and meals during the day. Maybe it is now working, we'll see.
Now is kind of a lull after Halloween is done and before we really gear up for Christmas. But, I am already thinking and planning. Before that though, we have Caleb's fourth birthday coming up in December! Four years!!! Wow! I think this weekend I will start gearing up for the Scooby Doo party and get at least the invitations going.
I've been re-assigned to a new client at work so that is giving me a fresh start and a new challenge. I've had a few weeks to peek at things and I'm starting to feel a little more confident. Of course next week I start to move more closer to the front line on the titles. Maybe then I'll start to feel differently. We'll see. I'll take each day as it comes. Always good to keep learning something new though!
Well, hope everyone is doing well. I'll try to get some more shots of the boys and upload them soon.
Take care and be well,

Halloween Fun
I'm trying to snatch a few minutes of Cameron sitting in his play seat to upload some recent pics from Halloween and such. He's not really keen on sitting through since he's discovered all the fun of exploring the house and getting into EVERYTHING!!!! Big Brother Caleb is "helping" Dad organize in the garage. That's lasted longer than usual. Even so my time is probably short.
We did take the boys out for fun trick or treating at a very nice neighborhood in our town. They are so used to welcoming trick or treating that local cops direct traffic for parking and bicycle cops patrol through the neighborhood amongst the trick or treaters. It was all worth it as the homeowners really were ready and waiting with their beautiful homes decorated nice. We wound up going with some neighbor friends and so Caleb really enjoyed himself. We of course had to tell the older boys to wait for the neighbor's younger son. Cameron hung out in the stroller for a good.
Actually Cameron was quite good considering that he is working his first tooth. The tip of it is showing now. Not sure if the neighbor tooth is coming soon too. Guess we'll see.
Well, guess I'll keep this post short since I can't think straight right now. I'll get to uploading the pictures!!! The good stuff!
Hope everyone is well.

Standing baby!!!
Well, I guess I should mark it down that Cameron is definitely standing up with help on a regular basis! He just loves to pull up and stand. Even has let go a few times to stand alone for a second or two. So far no big boo boos, yay! Caleb is enjoying this new step too, he points out with such surprise, "Look! He's standing!" And had lots of fun the other morning when Cameron crawled over to the couch and was pulling up to look at him sitting on it. Gotta get the camera next time he does that.
Of course they both move so fast that it's tough to catch things quickly enough. :)
We're hoping to have a garage sale this week and sell some of the little baby gear and clothes that we are done using. I am okay with this and yet I may have a little twinge of sadness to see some of the things go. Last night I savored the moment after Cameron had drifted off to sleep and was sleeping on my shoulder still. I looked over at big boy Caleb and remembered that he used to do that. And I thought back to the point when he started to get bigger and I knew our rocking chair days were numbered. We still could fit but it just wouldn't be quite the same.
But there are other wonderful things to share. Like when he made me some "treats" to help me feel better from my headache last night. He made some toy part into a little plate and loaded it up with a variety of play food. Let's see, there was an orange, a lemon, an ice cream cone, some french fries and a cardboard orange juice container. The perfect headache remedy!
Well, hope everyone is doing well. Have a wonderful weekend! I will try to update some newer pictures between now and Monday!

Lots of shots!
Oh my, I had to take both boys to the doctor on Tuesday afternoon. Cameron was due for his six month checkup and so he was due for three shots. Turned out that the doctor's office had flu shots available too. So I requested them for both boys. I feel almost a bit bad that I CHOOSE for them to have to get a shot. But I know that getting the flu would be much worse for everyone. Poor Caleb especially has gotten used to not having anything done at Cameron's checkups. He was quite upset that he had to get a shot too. I pointed out to him that his brother got three more than him! Both boys were screaming and crying by the time it was over but thankfully calmed down after a minute or two of a group hug.
On the way home, I told Caleb that I would be getting my own flu shot later in the week. He asked if I would cry and I said no that I wouldn't. That I knew getting the shot was much better than getting the flu bug. I tried to tell him about how it's a bad bug that makes you feel really awful. That the shot will help keep him healthy. By the next day he wanted to show a friend at daycare where he had gotten his shot!
Cameron is doing well and growing at a healthy pace. He's right in the middle for his range so doing well. I barely got to tell the doctor about all the things he's already doing. He asked if he was sitting up and I said that he's been doing that for awhile. He weighed in at 16 pounds which is a little less than I was thinking. I think the onesies that go to 18 pounds still seem a little bit snug and small on him!!!
Soon we'll be getting ready for Halloween. Caleb wants to be a ghost. Cameron was going to wear a hand me down Tigger outfit but I'm now realizing the outfit that was a little big for Caleb at his first Halloween might be way big for Cameron for his! That three month gap might make a bigger difference on the one year outfit. Might have to find him his own thing.
Well, mostly just the same old same old around our place. The sleeping through seems to be sticking. Of course we still get some 4am wakeups. I still walk around a bit sleepy and loopy headed so I'm amazed I functioned at all when he was getting up more often! Perhaps the damage is still not gone. Or it's just the busy pace that leaves me sometimes spinning in circles not sure what to do next.
Hope everyone is doing well! Take care and talk to you soon.
