Colt's camp and milestones!

Cameron and I at Colt's training camp!!!!!


Last week we took Cameron to his first Colt's training camp practice! He was really good even though it was hot outside. He stayed awake for maybe 15 minutes then passed out! We were able to stay for about 45 minutes. Once the sun started beating down harder we decided to get him out of the heat! He seemed to like being outside in the fresh air though and all the people kept mentioning how cute he is! Lately Cameron has been rolling over quite a bit. Usually he does it a couple times every time we do tummy time now. We think he gets so mad that he pushes himself over. Tummy time is not fun time in our house! He is also holding his head up very well! He still does some face dives and gets wobbly, especially when he is tired but for the most part he is doing great! We expect that in the next few weeks he will have a lot better head control! He also keeps trying to stand. He loves putting pressure on his legs and pushing himself up when we hold him in our laps!

Last Friday Cam went for his two month Well Baby visit and to get his first set of shots. He weighed in at a whopping 7lbs 11oz. I think that I was more nervous about his shots than anything but he was a trooper and only cried for about 5 seconds when he got poked. Then I picked him up and he fell asleep! The doctor said that everything looks great with him and that he is hitting all of his milestones even though he was 3 weeks early! Later that day, Grandma Freihaut came to visit and she brought goodies from Aunt Tonya and Uncle Derek! They went to a Carter's outlet and got him some cute new outfits and a baby scale! I am in love with the baby scale. Now I can keep up on his weight gain without having to weight to go to the doctor. Today he was 8lbs 3 oz!

On Saturday, Cory and I decided that we were finally going to go do something for our one year anniversary that was on July 19th. Grandma and Grandpa O'Brien were hired to babysit for a few hours! We went to see Harry Potter and halfway through the movie I asked Cory if we could go home because I missed Cameron! I think I was suffering from separation anxiety! lol.. Needless to say, I made it through the movie and Cameron had a wonderful time with grandma and grandpa. On Sunday we relaxed because Cory had to go back to work the next day. This week has went really well with just me and Cam home alone during the day. I must say that I absolutely love staying home and being with him right now. I can't imagine how I am going to feel when I go back to work and have to hand him off to someone else to watch for the day. I am miserable just thinking about it. Cory has come home every day saying how much he missed Cam during the day. Luckily they get to play together all evening!

Last night Cameron went to my cousin Natalie's volleyball game. He is so good whenever we go out of the house. He was passed around a lot between my parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousin and he just loved it! We don't have any plans for this weekend. I think we are going to try and clean the house really well and just spend some quality time with Cameron. I've added some pictures of Cam. Enjoy the cuteness!!

Cameron Update!!!

First off, I apologize for not updating this blog sooner! It has been the last thing on my mind lately and I spaced out and forgot to update!

On Monday, Cameron had another weight check and had gained 1.2 lbs in two weeks! He now weighs 6lbs 11 oz and is definitely starting to chub up! The doctor was very happy with his weight gain and said we can now let him sleep between 4-6 hour stretches during the night. We did have one 5 1/2 hour stretch the other night but usually it is about 3-4 hours in between night time feedings. Cory and I have definitely been getting a lot more sleep these last couple of weeks. We have worked out our nighttime routine and everything is going great.

Last Friday we went over to my sisters apartment for a cookout for her birthday! Cameron had a great time and was a trooper out in the heat. He got to visit with his Aunt Whitney, Grandma and Grandpa O'Brien, Great-Grandma and Grandpa Spittler, my Aunt Amy and Uncle Brian and their kids Natalie and Valerie, and Marilyn and Bob! While everyone played with Cam, mommy and daddy got a break and played some cornhole! Overall we had a great time and it was nice to get out of the house for a bit and interact with people. We also made a trip to the mall to walk Cam around in his stroller. He was an angel the entire time. He seems to do really well when we go out which makes things a lot easier on us. We just have to make sure we plan on going places around his feedings which is a little difficult sometimes.

On Tuesday, Cameron and I went with Cory to help set up his classroom (he goes back to school on the 17th). Cam slept most of the time we were there which allowed me to help Cory get some stuff organized. All of the ladies at Cory's office loved seeing Cam!

Yesterday we went to Danville to pick up Cameron's birth certificate. He was awake the entire ride there and didn't make a peep. That was probably because Cory read to him from his Sports Illustrated! Cameron loves to be talked to and read to. We sit in the glider and read him a few books every day! He also really enjoyed his lullaby CD that his Aunt Whitty got him. I have pretty much memorized all of the songs now that we have listened to it so much and even without the CD if I start singing one of the lullabies he calms down immediately.

Next Friday, Cameron gets his 2 month shots. I am a little nervous about them and know that I am going to be a wreck when he starts crying. The doctor told us we can give him a little baby tylenol to help with pain and try to prevent a fever. I'm hoping that everything goes smoothly and that his weight gain is still going good.

I have added some pictures from the past couple of weeks. I will try to update after Cameron's doctor's appointment next week!
