One Month and a Week

I have been meaning to update this blog, espeically since Cameron has joined the family. I have had time to do this but sadly the internet wasn't working well enough to do it and then I didn't have the laptop. So here is a recall of what life has been like and how we are doing for the past month and week.
It was wonderful to have my mom here for Christmas and to help with having Cam at home. Christmas was great! Cam made out like a bandit! He got bunch of toys: train set, stuffed animal, books, christmas ordinments, and a pack and play. He looked so cute in his Santa outfit from Grandma Corder! :) Chad got a snowboard that he has been riding from one of the guys at Breck. He loved it so I said yes as a gift. he also got a Wii game, which he has only played once! :) He and cam gave me a few things for nursing that I needed. And I am now a proud owner of a pistol! I love it! and can't wait to shoot it. needless to say I was a little surprised but I should have known better with opening ammo first. It was a great christmas!

We had him blessed the day after Christmas since my mom was out here. Chad's parents left after that to go visit family in Indiana. My mom made Cam's blessing outfit, my grandma darrah (so great-grandma to Cam) made the blanket, and chad's mom made the shoes he wore. so cute!

Cameron has done wonderfully at night since we have been home! He wakes up to feed a few times then gets changed and goes right back to sleep. he is so a good baby! I just pray that this trend continues as he grows. Speaking of growing.. he has done that! At his two week appointment, Cam weighed 7 lbs 9 oz. the doctor was not worried about his weight gain so we go to see him again at two months. At one month Cam weighed 9 lbs 12 oz. So he is probably 10 lbs now! I can't believe how big he is getting.
I have to say that I am enjoying motherhood.. granted i miss sleeping through the whole night, but i wouldn't trade my little man for anything! He has been a joy to both Chad and I. It will be a lot more fun to see his personality as he grows.. So there is our update! we are all doing just fine!
Here are a few pictures from the hosptial and coming home:
Here we are leaving the hosptial!

Cam sleeping peacefully: we put Kayla's blanket as a padding in his carseat...he is just so cute!

We love our little man!

  1. What a cutie! I love the stocking picture. We had family pictures done at Christmas and my stocking is really big so we stuff Emily in it. Anyways, I am so glad you just love being a Mommy. I can't get over how cute he is. He looks like the both of you!
