Back Online

Hello!!! We are back online here in good ol' Lewis Center, Ohio. So far things have gone well. Our house is pretty much unpacked and we just have a few odds and ends and small household projects that we want to do. Everyone seems to be adjusting and I am working on finding my way around this place. Thank goodness for the new GPS that my loving husband gave me as an early birthday present this year.
Cameron is doing great. He has had no trouble adjusting to his new surroundings. He has made some great friends in our neighborhood already. He loves his new school and has proclaimed that "first grade is way awesomer than kindergarten." When he arrives home from school we usually see him for dinner and that's about it. He's too busy playing outside. It's so good to see him interacting with the other kids. That's something he didn't have in our old neighborhood. Last night Stuart took him to his first ever cub scout meeting. Of course, I believe that my husband is going to be roped into becoming the den leader. But, I think it's a great thing for both of them.
Noah continues to grow and change. He's starting to show his little personality and is smiling a bit more. He is eating well and growing like a weed. He's already out of his newborn clothes and has moved into some of his 3-6 month clothes. Now the biggest challenge is going to be figuring out a sleep schedule. He has not yet moved into his crib as he is still sleeping in his pack and play in our bedroom. I think that this weekend might be the time we move him into his crib. He usually goes down to bed alright but then wakes in the middle of the night and doesn't want to go back to bed. So, any of you that have advice for us on getting this kid to sleep better, please share.
I am still adjusting to being a stay-at-home. I am starting to figure out Noah's likes and dislikes and how best to use my time while he's napping/content. I love it that Stuart's office is only 5 minutes away and he is home well before 5 on most evenings. It makes our time together in the evenings seem so much longer.
This weekend is Cameron's 7th birthday and my 30th. Yes, that's right the big 3-0. No big plans to celebrate. Just a nice weekend with the family, my Mom and Dad and Aunt Stacey. Cam either wants a Star Wars party or a Transformers party. I'm okay with either, I just want good cake:0) We'll get some new pics posted ASAP.
