Got Milk?

After MUCH research..I believe Cameron has a food allergy..usually, babies have a hard time processing milk proteins (at his age) so I am going to try cutting out dairy..which isn't a problem as I get tummy problems from milk myself. He has been congested/throwing up/green-mucous stools/fussiness after feedings/wakes up obviously uncomfortable.

I'm switching to almond milk.

I hope that fixes it. Poor guy, growing teeth with an upset system=not fun.

I wish I would have come to this conclusion earlier as for breakfast I ate:
-oatmeal with milk/honey/cinnamon
-coffee & cream
-an apple

only one of those is negative in dairy :(

It might also explain why his growth has completely halted..but then again, breastfed babies don't usually grow much in this stage..


If you hadn't noticed, I'm basically leaving this post open all day and updating as the day slips by..

We (Cameron helped) just baked the best lemon-poppyseed cupcakes with buttercream frosting..SO GOOD!

His teething isn't as bad today, but he is chewing on his passi something fierce!

First Beach

We went to the beach today when Cam and I went to get daddy from work :)

The beaches here at home (FL) are just..gorgeous..it was truly a memory made



HUsbands making burgers for dinner :D

hm.

We had an alright day here on the home front.

I found a new way to rock/soothe baby Cameron :)

-lay Boppy on knees
-lay said Cameron on Boppy on knees
-rock knees with Cameron on Boppy on said knees from side to side

VIOLA! Sleeping Cameroon:D that's how we had a nap today

Brandon worked late today :/ but he was home in time to say night night to Cameron

teething pains

Cameron cried.all.day.

poor guy cut his first tooth, all the way.

we had leftovers because I was too drained to cook..thankfully cowboy pie tastes good for days on end.

Brandon got home late, as expected :/

I hope his days start evening out so that we have SOME chance of going back home next month for the Strawberry Festival...I have gone every single year since I was 5. I'd love for Cameron to be able to say that...it is so much fun.

Sunday

It has been such a good day.

We woke up, feeling like a truck hit us from lack of sleep due to our bambino's teeth causing him pain...but the day turned around

Brandon helped me do a few things around the house..i.e. hang pictures/clean and whatnots

he helped SO much and helped to get me back on track with my duties (haha)

After a while, we got ready and went to the farmer's market...we sampled fresh natural honeys, all natural soda/coffee, and bought freshly baked bread and veggies for the week.

Then we picked up our groceries at Whole Foods Market and ran into my sister and her friend, Robert.

Came home, ate our fresh ciabatta bread with fondue, cooked cowboy pie for dinner :)

robert cubed

Robert, Robert Cameron, Robert Brandon :)

we had good food with great company at my sister's tonight.

Robert is her beau...he's a cool cat

Brandon got home early from work today with a nice (cheap) bottle of white Zinfandel.
-I only had a taste, but it was tasty!

Cameron is getting two teeth..his two front bottoms. You can't see the one that cut any more..his gum has swollen too much but you can see the teeny tip of the one beside it.

Pregnancy pact is on..I've been curious to see this!

good day

Right before bath time :D

I love my boys.

Brandon is in a sour mood..RB messed his cage. I took him out 4 times today/Brandon took him out twice since he had been home. He did both messes :(

He had to give him a bath/wash his bed/clean out his crate.

Family Guy is making it better.

Cameron is snoring in his bed.

tornado?

What most of our day looked like


That's right. Tornado..did one hit? No. How many times a year in Florida do we hear of a tornado watch? Like fifty bajillion times seven each rainy season. One DID hit..just not any where near us. Thank goodness...though, it does kind of let me down when they broadcast all of these emergency warnings and I don't even get a little glimps of a funnel cloud. Oh well.

My sister teaches just outside of Orange Park (more central than where we are) where the tornado actually hit, so she had to gather her class (of 9) into the classroom closet. She said they were in there for about an hour but had a blast dressing up in all of the closet junk (she teaches Special Ed)

I gathered the usual emergency stuff and put it all in our closet (most central/protected area of the apt.) and was ready to grab everyone and buckle down for a bit in there..but then it stopped raining.

So we went to World Market. Yes, World Market :) It didn't rain for the rest of the evening, so I took the bambino on a drive around Atlantic Beach area.

Then we picked daddy up and found the NEX..which is surprisingly nice for this area. We bought nails so I can hang my pictures :)



Cameron is cutting his first tooth, so it took two hours to get him to sleep last night. Apologies for the late post.

late days

Due to the Haiti disasters, my husband now has to work a lot more. I understand, but it sucks. I know it sucks a lot more for families/people of Haiti, but it still sucks for me to not have him home. Not as much, not even a comparable amount, but it sucks.

I cleaned today. I cleaned our carpets and came to the conclusion that the management should have replaced them before renting out our unit since the last tenants seemed to be elephants the rode steamrollers around the place.

Today is going to consist of cleaning..cooking..baby rearing..dog chasing..and maybe a walk after dinner. I like days with structure, so this is alright.

Cameron fell asleep (he needed a nap) in his pack n play while I was vacuuming. I loves hims.

sleep

Today Cameron went down for two naps equaling a whopping five hours :D

Needless to say, I did not get a single thing done today. I slept. I needed it. I enjoyed it.

Then, when Brandon came home, we went to Wal*Mart.
