Where has the time gone?

My goodness, early November was my last post? Oy! Last month zoomed by. One work trip, some sickies and there a month goes. Thank goodness for some fun times in between. The boys love playing together for good and for bad. Can't seem to get Caleb to understand that his little brother is still little! Wish he could just behave for one evening.

My work has continued to be quite crazy busy and makes the days go by quick during the week as well.

Cameron has his two bottom teeth in front and is maybe working on a top one now. Although I thought one was coming a few weeks ago. Guess it was a return ear infection instead. Caleb had a wonderful 4th birthday party. Can't believe he's four already!

Anywho, can't think of more to say for now. Better finish up as there are baths to give and things to do before bedtime.

All the best of the holidays to all of you!!!

Two teeth coming!

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.

Take care,

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!
