Baby Camden Arrives (2.30 years and 8.90 months)

A few weekends ago, Nana and Great Grandma came up for the weekend.  They came to get a bunch of baby stuff that I was giving to Melissa.  We gave Melissa the car seat, breast pump, and a ton of clothes.  It was bittersweet getting rid of these things.  I haven't pumped for over a month now and I am totally okay with it.  But at first it was really hard to give up.  The baby car seat was sad to see go but we are looking forward to not having to carry around that heavy thing.



A few weekends ago, it was Mother's Day.  It was nice because I worked the weekend before so I had Friday off.  I was able to go to Muffins with Mom at the kid's school.  I asked Austin if he wanted Sydney to be there too and he did.  It was cute so I brought Sydney into Austin's room and we all ate muffins and juice together.  Austin was sad when I left.  He is now in the "Get Set" room which is the older toddler room.  He is the youngest in the class.  Ever since he switched rooms, he cries when we drop him off.  Hopefully he will get use to it again and will not cry when we leave.  Brian usually drops hi off, but I got to experience it today.


On Mother's Day, my parents came over.  I baked lasagna and a cake.  Austin helped decorate the cake.  We also went and looked for playgrounds for ideas.  Brian is building a playground in our back yard.  I am super excited about that.  For mother's day I got a picture with me and the kids and a photo book with lots of pictures of us in it.  I love the photo books.  They are really nice and Austin loves us to read them to him.  He enjoys looking at pictures of himself and his family.  It was a nice mother's day.

We are getting ready to leave for Myrtle Beach.  Melissa had her baby on May 18.  She had a boy and his name is Camden.  We are very excited for them.  It will be awesome for them to be parents.  We are looking forward to meeting him.  We are driving my parents car down there because our car is not big enough.  I'm not looking forward to the drive down there but once we get there it will be fun.  Hopefully I will be able to spend some time with Melissa and Camden.



Sydney went to the doctor for her 9 month check up.  Austin went with me.  He is a very good helper.  Sydney weighed 17 pounds and 14 ounces.  That is 49th percentile for weight.  She is 28 inches long.  She is in the 57th percentile for height.  She is following her growth chart perfectly.  When Austin was 9 months he was 24 pounds 3 ounces and 30 inches long.  It is interesting to see how much bigger Austin was at the same age.  We are so happy that Sydney is finally eating.  She will eat anything.  She loves table food and usually eats more than Austin every night.  She loves her vegetables - especially peas!
