2 months comes with Smiles!

So we hit the two month mark a few weeks back!
At his check-up:
Weight: 11 pounds 15 ounces
Length: 24 inches
Here is Cameron with his mouse "Fernando" - we will see how he grows compared to him :)



Cameron is also starting to smile more and more.

It used to be just in the morning, and we could never really get a good shot, but we finally got a few good ones! They are a little blurry because he is always moving....he is an active little man!

He does a pirate eye once in awhile.

Here is a fun series...if you look close you can see his dummy on his chest. He found it hilarious to keep spitting it out and us putting it back in.

It was also Australia Day on January 26th - here are my two favorite boys representing my second favorite country. Michael is determined to wean him on Vegemite, but I have other ideas.

All the new things...

So as Cam gets bigger, we are learning we have to start entertaining him with new toys. Sometimes he is a bit hesitant, but is starting to interact more and more with them.

Swinging away! Also, typically a great spot for a morning nap.

Circle of Neglect!
He does not yet like to grab at things. The picture above I put it in his hand and he held on.

Bouncy Chair, which he kicks so much can move it on his own.

Hanging in the Bumbo helping mommy cook - please disregard that it is pink.
The Bumbo always makes kids look so funny.

First Baby Bjorn Walk - he did pretty well although I think he will like facing out much more!

More Christmas Pics...

Christmas was a great time!

My side the family were finally all together to celebrate.....it had been about 6 years since this had happened. Figured it would just be easier to show through pictures.

Cameron and Harper went and saw Santa together.

Harper got to decorate Christmas cookies with Nana and me. She REALLY loved the frosting!

Aunt Jessica finally got to meet Cam!

Harper loves her cousin....sometimes a little too much. She now knows to only kiss on the cheek or the head, not on the lips.

Finally a family pic!

.....can't forget Ruby!

Proud grandparents!

The whole group!

Santa brought us WAY too many presents, and my mom fed us WAY too much......overall we had a wonderful Christmas!

Holiday Madness

In the time since the last blog entry, the Tully family have had a pretty exciting time of it. Cameron attended his first quiz night and helped our team, Bob Loblaw Law Blog, continue our tradition of winning excellence. He even contributed, correctly identifying deposed former Libyan Dictator Muammar Gaddafi during the visual round, and the Sonic Youth song "Goo" during the audio round.

Cameron made his first trip to Breckenridge (shortly followed by his second, third and fourth). It's a place he is bound to become very familiar with in the coming years. He adjusted to the altitude really well, much more effectively than I did when I first made it to the mountains about 9 years ago. He wisely drank considerably less alcohol than I did, which may have had something to do with it.
He is yet to experience much in the way of snowfall, but I feel like that is come soon. PLEASE SNOW!!

We welcomed a fat, jolly man in a red suit. He gave Cameron more toys and clothes than he, or we, could have possibly hoped for. (I hope he likes clothes with frogs and bears and trucks on them when he is 18. He won't need anything new until then). He also tasted some amazing Christmas food (via Jenna). Many thanks to his American Grandparents.

New Year's Eve was pretty low key but fun. We drank some booze and played some games with Brandon and Dawn (one unnamed person continued their unbeaten streak at Scattergories). The entire family triumphantly made it past midnight... and we're soundly asleep 15 minutes later.

We had a great holiday season and hope everyone else did likewise.

Week 3 - A Week of Firsts....

Week 3 with our little man has been a week of firsts.

It was his first bath....

Unfortunately, he was freaked out a little bit, but loved being wrapped up in the towel at the end.



The good news is the Bath #2 was MUCH better and he didn't cry at all.
Thank Michael for the considerate cropping of the photo so Cameron isn't embarrassed when he gets older.




We introduced a bottle....

Cameron took the bottle like a champ. We have previously said he is a good eater, so the doctor said she had no problem introducing a bottle a bit early since I will be going back to work.



Ruby is getting more and more used to Cameron being around....she still is a bit timid, but I know they will be great friends at some point.



At my baby shower, my friends made Cameron onesies to wear - here is their favorite:
"If you think I'm cute you should see my mom's sorority sisters"



I tried to put him in one of his snow suits....I think it might be a bit too big...



Just some other cute shots of the little man.....

Week 2 FLEW by....

So our little man is now over 2 weeks old!

We went in for our 2-week doctor check-up and Cameron is a healthy little boy.

Weight: 8 pounds 7 ounces (when we left the hospital he weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces, so he gained almost a pound and a half in 11 days!) He is in the 53rd percentile for weight.

Height: 20 1/2 inches (he has already grown an inch and a half) He is in the 40th percentile for length, which we find odd since both of us are so tall.

The funniest thing I found out from the doctor was that he is in the 80th percentile for head circumference - we are going to have a smart little guy!

Cameron is still in the "converter" stage as my dad calls it - eats and converts it into a dirty diaper, sleeps and the process starts over again. He is becoming more and more alert everyday, and absolutely loves staring at the lights on the Christmas tree.

Grumpy Face Doing the Michael pose

Too cute!

Our first outing was Thanksgiving and we had complete success!

He slept for the first three hours and let us enjoy all the food then was the entertainment for the rest of the night. It definitely gave us a bit more confidence that we can take him out in public more often.

Cameron's turkey outfit!

Cameron did get all decked out for his first watching of the FSU vs UF game. Fortunately, he slept through most of it and did not witness the terrible game. Let's hope next season is better!

Go gators!

Onto Week 3.....

Week 1 with our little man

So we made it a week and are still doing great!

Cameron has been a great baby so far - sleeps in 3 to 4 hour stretches, which is giving us plenty of sleep at night, he loves to eat, and is becoming more and more alert everyday.

He LOVES to look at lights. We plan on putting up our Christmas tree this weekend which is sure to blow his mind.

The one thing he doesn't enjoy is diaper changes, but he is getting better. I think he just doesn't like the cold wipe on his backside, and once the new diaper is on, no problems at all!

Taking a nap.

He really isn't too sure about the bouncy chair yet.

I already have made him a gator fan. Michael likes to call this "milk drunk"

Hanging with mom and dad.

We took our first walk!

One of my favorite pictures so far - so cute!

We are looking forward to his first adventure outside the house for Thanksgiving on Thursday. I think he will do great!
