Cameron 15 month update

Cameron had his 15 month check up last Friday. he weighed in at 21 lbs and was 32 inches long. He's healthy and although still not walking can manage to get anywhere that he wants. He is using lots of new words every day. he saya ball, more, nana (banana), up, cup, go, night night,. he allso uses the signs for, eat, more, all done, and just recently wait. he can identify his head, nose, eyes, and belly!

Cameron will be going in for surgery most likely some time in february to have the hypospadius fixed. It will be a day surgery and will come home with a catheter for about 7 days. I'll just be glad when it is over and done with!

Disney Update




Well we left on Saturday and are still in Floriday. The weather has been beautiful about 70-75 and sunny! The boys are having an absolute BLAST! The plane ride went very well Cameron slept for part of it and Brady watched Curious George on the portable DVD player. Our first day here we tried to hit the magic Kingdom but it was packed so we only went on It's a small world and Pirates of the Carribean. Yesterday we spent the day at Epcot, Brady was facinated by spaceship earth! We came back fairly early to the hotel yesterday to make sure the boys got a good night sleep. Well sleep they did 12 hours for both of them and they were ready to go today. We did the morning at Animal Kingdom and the afternoon at Hollywood studios. Brian and I have been so pleasantly surprised with our kids. We always thought that Cameron would only nap in a bed but he has been napping on Brian in the Ergo (our saving grace) and has been sleeping for about 2 hours at a whack when he does sleep. I didn't think that our kids would like sitting through shows but they have absolutely LOVED them. Brady thought the Bugs life 3D show was a riot! they also saw the play house disney show which they BOTH LOVED and they likes the Muppet 3D show! Brady has also been so excited to see all the characters and get his picture taken with them. We waited in line for 25 minutes so he couls see Buzz and Woody from toy story.


It feels like a rare occasion that I actually get to spend so much quality time with my kids. even though I'm home with them I have daycare kids etc. and I don't get to give them 100% undivided attention. Brian and I have so enjoyed rediscovering our kids! getting to know their two individual personalities and I have to say they are pretty great and unique kids in their own ways. Cameron is trying to become so independant even though he can't walk, his latest trick has been standing up in the middle of the bed! and Brady is trying hard to act like the big brother. They both love to be silly and laugh but both can be so stubborn some times you want to strangle them! Tomorow we will head off to the magic Kingdom for our last day here. It has been fun! but I will also be glad to go home! We'll do a more detailed blog and post more pics and vidoe once we are home!

So Happy Together!








Now that Cameron is getting a little older, he and Brady have started playing together more. I now understand why my parents bought my sister and I two of everything just in dfferent colors. Brady tends to be pretty good with sharing or atleast tries to give Cameron a differnt toy to distract him while h takes the toy he wants. Ahhh problem solving skills at work! There other favorite thing to do now is to take bubble baths. Brady put the bubbles on his chin and said "Look, I'm Uncle Dave" Then he gave himself a mustach and said "Look I'm Dziadziu"

Cameron will be 16 months on the 25th and hasn't started walking yet but pulls himself up and cruises. He'll stand alone for a few seconds but then drops down to his knees ( he is still getting PT in the house and will be having his re-evaluation in February). As for talking he knows the signs for more, all done, and please. He says, byb-bye- night night, wiggles , ball and cup.

Brady is going to Preschool 2 mornings a week and has started recognizing his name, he knows all his colors and can count to 20. we are also working on letter recognition and he has one eto one correspondence up to 6. he no longer wears a pull up during nasp time and has recently started getting up in the middle of the night to go potty and has a dry pull up in the morning. He has asked to stop wearing them but he's not consistant enough yet.
We will be going to Disney for a couple of days in January, We leave on the 17th! we can't wait and neither can Brady, Cameron is still a little young but were sure he'll enjoy it anyway seeing as he LOVES music!

Brian and I feel so blessed to have such wonderful boys!
