Okay well let's see, where to begin? One of the biggest changes in our lives was that I went back to work on Nov. 5. It was really hard on me to leave her but luckily for us Brendan had the first few days off so I came home at lunch and spent time with her. Thursday the 8th was her first day in day care. We found a lady named Cheryl that is pretty close to my work so it's great. brendan drops her off in the morning and I pick her up after work. It still sucks that I can't be with her every day but we've gotten into a routine so it's working out.
The day before I went back to work we got a behind the scenes giraffe feeding at the Living Desert courtesy of Kieran and Amanda. It was FREAKING AWESOME! They were so sweet and pretty up close!!
Also on the 8th, we drove to Santa Maria. We spent Friday hanging out around town with my mom then woke up early Sat the 10th and drove to Chico! It was Camille's first trip to meet her cousins and Uncle Chris! Aunty Christine met her when she was still in the hospital, so this was her first time being able to hold her without a bunch of cords in the way! The trip was good, she slept and was good in the car. Road trips with my parents are always AWESOME. Ava turned 6 years old and have a fun party at a bouncey place and we just hung out with the family up there then drove home Monday. I drove from Chico to Santa Maria, took a break in SM, then drove the rest of the way home. It was a LONG day in the care but it was good to be home by the end of it!
My mom came to visit the following weekend and we took some family pics and Camille met Santa for the first time! She even smiled in the picture!
We had Thanksgiving with Kieran and Amanda! They cooked at their house so we went over there! It was really good and we even had some new stuff, like stuffing that they eat in England. I baked some pies and a side. I'll tell you, it was nice not having to do the whole shebang!
The 24th was a book signing in Palm Springs! Amber and I went, we waited in line for a while but it was so worth it to meet Capt. Jack himself, John Barrowman! He and his sister both held Camille and John even carried her around the store, dancing and singing. It was SPECTACULAR. Seriously best moment EVER.
For her 4 month stats, she is now 13 lbs 7 ounces, has a 16 1/4 in head and is 23 3/4 inches tall. She's around 50% for weight and head but 26% for height.
The 29th was her dr appt, she had shots and the doc said we could start trying solids if we wanted to! So we got some rice cereal. She hasn't quite gotten the hang of it yet, but she's working on it haha! She has a cold right now, she's all coughy and raspy so i'm not pushing it right now. Brendan thought it would be funny if we fed her with a silver spoon so we used this teeny silver baby spoon that he had. We now have regular baby spoons.
Well I think that's a brief breakdown of November. Hopefully I'll be
better about blogging in December! Christmastime and all that jazz!
Yay!!!
