Busy, Busy!

 

It’s amazing how busy days can feel yet we haven’t gone anywhere or really done anything. Three kids definitely keep us busy! First up, we had Meema visiting for a few days and she got her Cameron snuggle time:

Then both Paul and I have had our share of Cameron snuggles as well since he is happiest being help (is he a newborn??):

Then we have started our birthday season in our house with mine first, then Claire’s. Claire has been so excited to turn six and yesterday we celebrated her birthday with a few of her school friends. She insisted on a Frozen party and it was fun having her friends over to play for a bit.

Henry was my helper with decorating:

Claire at six is fun, but definitely still challenging.

• She is loving reading, writing, and making books for her classmates and friends.
• Still constant questions about everything and curious about so much.
• She is still our little style queen with having no input from anyone about what to wear.
• Her compassion hasn’t change and she is so caring for animals and people close to her.
• Miss Negotiator. Always, all the time. Everything is up for negotiation.
• Claire loves playing “school” with Henry and pretending to go through a school day with him.

Today Cameron is one month old! Yay! One month in the newborn stage is done. Don’t worry, I love the cuddles and snuggles of a newborn, but I do love my sleep which is not happening right now.

      

Here’s a bit of what little Cam is up to:

• More awake periods. He is actually awake a lot of the time during the day and enjoys taking small naps. Thankfully he’s pretty content when he’s awake.
• Big guy. He is in three month clothing and even those are fitting just right. He is a long guy!
• Starting to smile a little bit. It’s cute. He will hold his head up and give us little smiles.
• He had a four hour stretch of sleeping last night! Wa-hoo! I feel so refreshed. Ha. Hopefully it continues.
• Hiccups, hiccups all the time!

As busy and chaotic as it has been, we’ve loved adjusting to being a family of five!
