Cameron and Mckenna new hats

Thanks to Christine and Jackie from Kerlan Jobe...they gave them these knitted hats..I think they knitted it themselves..We love it! Mckenna loves it so much she wears it all day and sleeps with it. On the other hand, Cameron has no choice...I put all kinds of hats on his head and he just has to wear it..My mom comes into town today for a week, so we are looking forward to having her with us. We have a lot of things planned, and I am excited to get out and do things with Cameron...Have a great weekend!

our first family photo..cameron turns 1 month old

Cameron went for his 1 month checkup and he got a hep b shot and he didn't even cry..the doctor said "how did you luck out with getting 2 good babies in a row"? She told me that he is eating a lot for his age, but don't worry about it. I went out to lunch with him for the first time, and he slept the whole time. He is now sleeping in 3 hour increments, and I am working on pushing that to 4 hours..Craig leaves for Tennessee tomorrow, so I am solo, but up for the challenge. Here is our first family photo together..Enjoy!

Cameron loves to eat

OMG! He sure loves to eat..I hope that I am not feeding him too much. He is eating about every 3 hours and pooping quite a bit! He loves to listen to Baby Einstein and he hates to take a bath. He is also a good burper!

Cameron at home

Craig goes back to work and I am at home being a "stay home mom"..Boy, there is a lot to do! I thought i would have time to get things done, but all I am doing is washing bottles and washing clothes. I haven't taken any naps since Cameron came home, but I am feeling pretty good. We went out yesterday for a few minutes to grab lunch, then came right home. The only thing I am not doing is eating much, because just when I get ready to eat, he gets up. I've also been watching a lot of soap operas and I am finding myself crying, because some of them are so touching...and I love the Ellen show..

My Grandma who is 102 years old, turning 103

My grandma is amazing! I don't know how she does it, but she is still pretty sharp! She is turning 103 in a few months, and I cannot wait to celebrate with her...I love her!

The beach right by my parents house

This beach is 5 minutes from my parents house...it's called "the cove" or "eternity beach"..We love going to this beach because the water is crystal clear and calm..Craig and Mckenna went snorkeling and swam right next to a turtle..mckenna got scared and screamed. We usually take a swim here everyday, but we didn't get to this time, because we were at home with baby Cameron a lot.

My family

This is our new family photo...Things have been going very smoothly here..we left Hawaii a few days ago, but I am still trying to add more pictures. it's been so great to sleep in our own bed and attempt to get in a routine with sleepless nights and getting up and getting Mckenna ready for school and trying to maintain some sort of balance between working, working out, and taking care of my dogs. So far, we have been sharing the responsibilities of getting up, so I am getting about 5 hours of sleep per night. I am not on shut down mode yet. We will post more pics.

Lillian having some fun

I was having a great day with Craig and Mckenna at the Childrens Center. Do I look really tired? I sure don't feel it. I am wondering when it's all going to catch up to me. I've been getting a lot of tips about changing diapers and the most valuable one was to cover his privates when changing or he could shoot you in the eye...Well, he got my mom twice...When you are changing diapers in the middle of the night, he's crying, you just want to change him as fast as possible and I tried to do it without it...and I got sprayed in my hair and all over him...NO fun!Good lesson for me.."never take shortcuts!"

working in the pineapple fields

Mckenna and I decided we wanted to see what it would be like to work in the pineapple fields...I think my mom worked in the fields as a young kid to help out...or was it my Grandmother?

Our Day at Childrens Discovery Center with Mackie

Craig hanging out with the "Hawaiians"...

more pics of Cam

This is Cam just hanging out at home. It's been raining in Hawaii a lot, so we have been spending lots of time indoors. We have had a lot of visitors to the house, so Cam has been getting a lot of attention.

Cameron is 2 1/2 weeks old

Cameron turns 3 weeks old..I've been getting about 5 hours of sleep everynight, and I feel pretty good. We have been very lucky, because he eats, poops and sleeps like clockwork. I have been able to still workout and do things with Mckenna, so we haven't gotten too off track. We found out yesterday that in order for us to leave Hawaii with Cameron, we need to have approval from the family court here and we also need approval from California. We were a little nervous, because our tickets are for this Saturday. We got approval from Hawaii today and now we are just waiting for California..We have to pray we get it tomorrow, because Hawaii courts have Furlough Fridays...we feel pretty good that things will fall into place.

Our Girl Mckenna

This is a picture of Mckenna as we were walking to the park...We walk to my Elementary School everyday and play on the playground. I just found out that they may be closing the school due to low attendance..that's really sad!

Cameron Smiles

I was holding Cameron after his afternoon feeding and he was smiling, so I snapped this picture..he also has a dimple..it's really cute!

Today, cameron is one week old and we are managing pretty well. We have shifts at night..I usually take the 12-3am shift and Craig takes the 3-6am.. I usually get up at 7am and go to the gym, then when I come back, Craig goes to workout..We try to do something with Mckenna early morning to keep her busy. Today, she went to the beach and then we walked to the park with Cameron. He is now drinking 2 oz every 2-3 hours, and he sleeps a lot, so it great for us, since we can sleep for 2-3 hours at a time. He is a pretty easy going boy..he never really cries unless he's hungry, has to burp or has a dirty diaper. Its nice to have my family here to help me...i guess I have it easy right now, but when I go back to LA, reality will set in.
