Man oh Man, where has the time gone?
Life just gets sweeter and sweeter with our two fantastic munchkins. I've got to be honest, though, I'm still really scared (for lack of a better word) to take them anywhere by myself. I guess I'm just not excited about getting stuck with two crying babies. Not like that would really happen because they would both be well-rested and a snack readily available but still... I'm taking my time and easing my way into normal life again.
I don't want to jinx myself but for the last couple of nights (since Veteran's Day), Cam has been waking once at night!! We have positioned the fan just outside of Millie's room (which is right next to Cam's room) to mainly drown out the little peeps we hear from Cam at night. I had been going right in to feed him at every little peep and found that really I was just lulling him right back to sleep after a little snack. That can become really tiring and I know he can go longer than an hour between feedings.... I was getting up like five times every night and feeling the wear and tear on me in the morning. Both Millie and Camden deserve a more energized, happy mommy. So now that he's 2.5 months old, he's becoming a pro at sleep (day and night) whereas Millie was sleeping through the night at 5 weeks!
Can you tell that sleeping babies makes me feel accomplished?!
Anywho, Cam is smiling all the time now and its not just random. If you smile or make a silly face, he'll give you a big ol' smile right back! He's ticklish too- anywhere. When you tickle him, its almost as if he give a silent laugh. He gets all squirmy and gives another big smile back.
Bathtime has become my favorite time of day. Cam and Millie bathe together as I'm sure you have gathered from the heading picture. Millie is learning not to splash her brother and Cam is learning not to pee on his sister. Its a joyous event!
Millie is a riot. Everyday she puts a spin on something ordinary. She likes to suck on pacifiers as a toy. She'll sit in her brother's swing and rock her babies. She's big into sidewalk chalk, puzzles, stickers, and ELMO! My goodness, she loves her Elmo. She's finally fitting into 24-month clothes as I am enjoying the hand-me-downs from her 3 year old cousin. She tinkled in the potty on October 26th... and hasn't done it since. Again, we are still planning on potty training in December.
Next time you hear from us, we may be living in a new house as Ft. Bragg is moving us somewhere else on post. Exciting times!
