We leave in one week for our RV Adventure!!

Clint and I have been making lists (and checking them twice) and getting things ready.

We depart VA on 12/20 and will arrive in LA on 12/21. We'll depart for Texas on 12/26 and depart from there on 01/01. Clint will then depart LA for VA on 01/02. Cameron, Elke and I will stay in LA until 02/?? when Clint comes to gather us!!

Updates on Cameron:

He's really getting good at grasping objects, as well as focusing on people and things. His neck muscles are getting stronger! His head is still pretty wobbly, but he can hold it up when held upright or on your shoulder and can lift it during "tummy time," even though he's pretty lazy about it. He now really really enjoys bathtime! His splashes are getting bigger and bigger. Even if he's getting tired and cranky, he hears the bath water running and perks up!

Sleeping...

On *good* nights he wakes up just once! He will often sleep a 6-7 hour stretch, but sometimes will only sleep 4 hours at a time (momma does not like those nights!). He usually takes a couple short naps in the morning (30-45 mins) and another in the afternoon (time varies, sometimes an hour, sometimes more). We've learned that it is BEST to give him his last feeding in the 7 o'clock hour and to have him down if possible by 8... or things are not fun!

Cameron typically wakes up for the day around 6ish, but has been known to sleep until 7 a.m. Again, all of these trends could disappear/go haywire at any time!

Elke is doing well! She still loves to lick Cameron. Funny thing: she has some stuffed toys, which she used to DESTROY in a matter of minutes. She now carries them around the house and brings them to her bed with her. Is Elke showing her maternal instincts :)?

Cameron is also still, of course, the Spit Up King. I often go through at least a couple shirts during the day! Cameron can go through at least 3 outfits. So friends and family, apologies in advance for spit-up on you, your floor, your furniture. And family, please also accept my apology for the amount of laundry we have to do!!
