We are getting to be really bad at blogging...not because we don't like it, it just seems as though we never have the time. Last night, Erica and I sat down and went through old posts....it was fun to see what Brady was doing at Cameron's age...and it gives us at least some sense of what is next for Cameron. We have to be better about blogging!
This will be the first of many "double" purchases for toys! We are so excited that the weather has finally gotten nice!
It is hard to believe that today, my niece Mackenzie turned 4! In my life, Mackenzie's birth ushered in a new era, that of "parenting." Erica and I used to take Mackenzie overnight so we could "practice" parenthood. I remember taking her to stores, restaurants, and even the Portsmouth Children's museum. A year and a half later, we had Brady. Then it was all down hill from there. Hahaha....just kidding!!!
weighing in at 18lbs (50%) and 90% for height is Cameron Stack! He got a clean bill of health from the Doctor the other day when he went for his 6 month check up. I can't believe that he is already six months old. He rolls both ways, is VERY close to sitting up, sleep about 12 hours at night, eats 2 "solid" meals a day and takes 2-3 naps a day. He loves to blow raspberries and chew on his hands. He really doesn't take a binki, he would perfer to suck on his index and middle fingers.
It would appear that Brady is officially potty trained. At this point, he is able to tell us when he needs to use the bathroom to do his "business." Now we just have to get him to use less toilet paper! We still have him wear a pull-up at naptime and bedtime, although it is rare for him to wake up from his nap wet.
It amazes us because it seems like just yesterday, Brday was taking baths in the kitchen sink. Now it is Cameron's turn. (In case you were wondering, Brady is the shot with the rubber duckie, taken in March of 2006).
In order to make the playroom a little safer and kid-friendly, we dressed up the columns by turning them into jungle trees with some brown carpet and ivy garland. We might actually turn the entire basement into a jungle theme at some point.
The downstairs bathroom is complete (at least for know, until we tile the floor). We stripped the wallpaper, installed new hardware, refinished the vanity, put in new light fixtures, installed an exhaust fan, put up a chair rail, and painted the room a nice light brown (Behr Toasted Cashew, to be exact). It looks like a whole new place. Total cost: About $500.
Today we decided it was finally time to start potty training. Now, we bought Brady his own potty a few months ago, and he does know how to use it to pee.
