Back to the grind...

It has been a crazy 3 months since Cameron was born. A quick recap - Latte died and we got a new puppy, both Ivan's grandmother and my grandmother passed away. Cameron had gotten sick and was admitted into the hospital for a few days. Cameron, Jadyn and I have all had a few doctors appointments. We have had a ton of visitors. We have had all of that plus our normal stuff of Ivan working, Jadyn going to school, having a newborn, training a puppy, etc. It has definitely been busy.

Yesterday was my first official day back to work. Thankfully my manager has been great and let me transition back into everything. Next week I will only be working Monday and Friday because Cameron's babysitter will be out of town. As far as the updates go....

Cameron is 3 months old today. It is amazing how time flies. Unofficially he is about 15 lbs. He is such a chunker. Overall he is really a good baby. He prefers to lay down on the floor instead of being in the swing or the bouncer (of course he really prefers to be held). He seems to love noise. He is always calm when he hears the shower running or any white noise like that. He still HATES the car. It has gotten a little better but not great. He is smiling so much and starting to laugh out loud. It is so cute. I am still nursing him. We have started to give him some formula because that is what he will have at the babysitter's. He drank the formula just fine at first but now he is hesitant. We did change to the Costco brand formula so maybe he doesn't like it. A few nights ago he slept through the night. I fed him at about 10:30 and he fell asleep in the swing. I moved him to his room at about 12 and he slept until 6:30. He hasn't slept that well again but he does sleep about 5 hours, eats, and then sleeps another 3 hours or so. Overall, I really can't complain about his sleeping. He is going to be staying at a babysitter's house on Tues, Wed, and Thurs while I am back at work and Ivan is going to have the boys Fridays. In January, Cameron will probably go to the same daycare as Jadyn.

Jadyn is still being a great big brother and loving on Cameron so much. He is going on a cruise with grandma and pop-pops in the beginning of Oct. He is so excited to be going on a plane and on a very big boat.

Mocha is 4 months old. She still acts like a puppy but she is doing so much better. We have been to 2 training classes. They had to cancel 3 in a row but we will be back to class on Monday.

With me going back to work, Ivan and I are just trying to figure out the routine that works for us.

Well I hope everyone is well. Talk to you soon...
