Happy Sunday!

After having a rough sports weekend last week and yesterday, I am happy to say that I got to celebrate a Packers victory over mom’s hometown team, the Seattle Seahawks. We watched the game at the Burie’s house and there were lots of kids there to watch. I was the youngest, but someday I will get to run around and play like all of them. Watch out Jared, here I come!

This was a big weekend for me. Not only did I go to my first Packer party, I also attended my first wedding yesterday. Dad’s cousin Kori got married and I was pretty good. Mom did have to take me outside during the last half of the ceremony. She was a bit disappointed to miss the last part, especially since cousin Brian was singing and she enjoys listening to him. At least we got to hear very first song of the ceremony, Blessed the Broken Road (one of mom’s faves – she sings it to me and plays it on the piano for me). Then we visited my great-grandma before going to the ceremony. As soon as dinner was served, I decided to get cranky. Apparently I have a knack for knowing when mom & dad are trying to eat and that’s when I get fussy. After dinner, I was nice again for Grandpa Jim who held me for quite a while so mom and dad could get a couple dances in before taking me home. I get to go to another wedding in November so pretty soon I’ll be an old pro.

Mom and dad started a new bedtime routine for me this week to help me know when it’s time to sleep. If it’s bath night, we start with a bath and then I get changed, take my vitamins, get my nose drops if necessary and then I get fed and put to bed. Last night, I didn’t wake up for a feeding until 3:30am. Mom and dad sure liked that! Most nights I cooperate, but if they try to put me down before 8 pm, I won’t go to sleep. Like tonight, they tried to put me to bed at 7pm and eventually mom had to come get me and once 8 pm hit, I feel asleep in her arms and she was able to put me to bed with no resistance (I snuck out of bed to post this blog, but shhh don’t tell mom).

Not much else happened this week as mom didn’t take me anywhere since I was recovering from my cold. I’m feeling better now. So to wrap up, I’ll leave you with a list of my top five favorite things this week (inspired by a friend of ours who sends out a top 5 every month). In no particular order:

1. My fist, especially sucking on it or making a “fierce” pose – ask Uncle Keith what that means

2. My mobile – sometimes it soothes me at night if I’m cranky

3. Sticking my tongue out at daddy – it’s a game we play; he sticks his tongue out at me and I stick my tongue out back at him

4. Being held by anybody, especially people other than mom & dad

5. Smiling :-)

So there you have it. Have a great week!

Love,
Cameron
