Around the house.


As the other kids started to get use to having a new baby in the house, it has been fun watching each of them and how they have responded.
We were really grateful that Mason adjusted quite well and has, for the most part, been very gentle with Cameron. He finally asked us to hold him, and then wouldn't stop asking! Mason brings us blankets, diapers, wipes, and other random things that he thinks Cameron might need. We still have to be watchful because when alone Mason still might get the urge to 'help out' and that could turn out bad.
Grandma had a knack for putting Cameron to sleep with him becoming a limp noodle hanging over her arm. It was pretty funny and we laughed at how many positions one baby could sleep in.
Aunt Kellie was having a good time playing with a blanket and Cameron. We had a Star Wars Jedi, Robin of the Hood and a ninja. There are way to many pictures of this happening because we all couldn't stop laughing.
Another Mason moment was when Aunt Kellie fell asleep on the couch, he just went on the attack! Good thing she wakes up pretty happy, because Mason was drooling and laughing hysterically while laying on top of, trying to snuggle with, kiss, and hug a sleepy Kellie.
Miss Taylor is such a sweet heart with Cameron, for as much as she didn't want a boy baby she can't leave him alone! She cuddles with, burps, and makes sure that everyone else is doing what she tells them when it comes to Cameron. She decided that she should also read to him instead of a grown-up for her homework. It is very sweet to see how loving she is with him.
Even our lovely guests got tired out on some days! We looked over to find Grandma, Aunt Kellie, and Cameron sound asleep!
Little Cameron can roll himself from tummy to back. Not all the time and it really is because he gets ticked off and can push himself over with his kicking feet, but it is still neat to see how quickly he figured it out. He was 12 days old when he rolled over for the first time. :)

Great Yarmouth


Cameron will one day see this and ask what we were doing with his poor wee self, but dipping toes in the North Sea is a must. :) Great Yarmouth is a great seaside town, but it was really sad on this day because none of the fun seaside rides or games were open. Apparently, they open for the summer on April 1st. :( Oh well, we were still able to dip our toes into the FREEZING water, eat some Fish N'Chips, and then enjoyed feeding pigeons! (Kellie and Grandma fed them--birds freak me out that close)




We can't resist more pictures.

The fun thing about having a new baby is the endless supply of pictures you get to take. Cameron is really full of personality already, he must have fabulous dreams because he has been smiling and laughing in his dreams since he was just a few days old. He is a fabulous eater, he was 8lbs 6 ozs at his two week check-up. Cameron also sleeps pretty well only waking up once a night--I can handle that!

Ely Cathedral


Our first little outing with Cameron was to a near by cathedral in Ely, which is near Cambridge. We had a great day walking around, feeding ducks, enjoying the beautiful building and listening to a school group that was there singing. Grandma and Kellie went on the tour which included going up into the bell towers( I hear it was pretty awesome) we couldn't take anyone under 10 years up there...so Mike and I enjoyed walking around the other parts. I sat and fed Cameron while listening to the music and enjoyed just being out and about for the day.













Just a few moments to capture...
