Fall Update

Angela is offficially 2!! Her words are really starting to come along and it's a joy to listen to her say multiple syllable words and string simple sentences together. Angela's sleep continues to be good, however I'm still in search of a solution to her waking up crying every time after her naps. Cam has become more difficult to put down for naps/bedtime and he's also been waking up a lot more at night. It seems we've hit the 4 month slump with his sleep, but in turn he's become more alert and aware of his surroundings. At his 4 month appointment Cam was 16 pounds and 25 inches, 60% for length and 75% for weight. The doctor was happy to see that his weight gain has been slowing down and becoming more in-sync with his length. Angela was 25 pounds and 33 inches at her 2 year appointment, 25% for both length and weight. Cam figured out how to roll over onto his belly from him back shortly after he was 3 month old, but after doing it a lot for a few weeks, he hasn't done it recently.

This past weekend we took Angela to the circus, it was amazing - even John & I had a great time watching. She was in awe but after intermission I think she hit an overload and didn't really want to watch too much more, not to mention she was nearing her naptime. Cam was with grandma & grandpa and, just like Angela did at the same age, he cried for a lot of the time he was there. (Poor grandma & grandpa.)

Cam & Angela continue to have a great relationship - he lights up whenever he sees her and she enjoys & love him. Cam gets to tag along for Angela's gym class, ballet class & music together - he loves it all and she absolutely LOVES her ballet class. After the first class she really jumped in and follows the majority of what the teacher is doing; it's a great class - very fun and meant for toddlers but I can still see how it is gearing the kids towards learning ballet, which is perfect.


We're definitely excited for all the fun upcoming holidays and sharing Angela's excitement about all these new experiences. Cam is such a sweet, pretty easy, baby boy and part of me wishes he could just stay as a baby.
