Change is around the corner!

Well officially Cameron bid to days! Can I hear a WHOOP WHOOP! (I know I am dork) I am so excited I can barely stand it! He will have Mon/Tues off, and be working 0630-1430. Some sort of normalise to life. The only problem with this is he doesn't know what his off duty schedule will be like, since he is working sat during the day now, and that was is permanent off duty so it will be changing, we are kinda hoping for him to get a new 8hr shift just because it is a good source of extra money. But if not then that just means more time with the family!

In my last blog I neglected to inform everyone about Alex and what marvels he is up to. Alex is almost 2 and I think he has begun the terrible twos early. Actually I really can't complain to much, yes he is at the age were he wants to tell you everything, but can't find all the right words to do it, then gets frustrated and will throw a fit. Beyond on the normal lack of 2 way comunication, he is an amazing kid! He is talking a ton, and repeating everything, even the inapproprate things. Sometimes after I hear him say something I am amazed at how clear it sounds for such a hard word, such as orniment, and medicine, or caculator, but then other words that are what I would think to be a little easier like glasses or grandpa (t-pa) pose more of a challenge for him. He speaks very clear, and so far we have not had the Truck = F word speach problem. However he really enjoys telling people he pooped. Cameron has taught him to shake is tail feathers, when alex does it it just involves him bending his knees to a squat and then moving his arms up and down, but it is pretty darn cute.

another big milesone for Alex is we have now made it seven months with out any major illness, knock on wood. Since we had his adnoids removed he has only had a couple colds which have not progressed into anything more than a cold. Score one for Alex! He is also began to have a love for reading books, I am so glad that he enjoys it so much. He is for the most part sleeping 10 plus hours at night with only a few wake ups cause he can't find his binki (which is going to be gone in a couple months) and he still takes a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon. I take advantage of his nap time and nap then too. I don't get to spun up with the house work, I guess that is my downfall, I don't like it so I don't do it as often as I should, but in my defense I do live with Cameron. Ha!

Anyway, we are getting excited for the Holidays Alex help put the orniments on the tree and so far has not tried to touch them once they were on the tree. He is now saying claus, although I don't think he knows exactly what santa is yet. I have been having a internal delima as to whether or not to get his picture taken with santa. I just don't see the big deal with it. But I suppose he should have "the picture" in his book to look back on. Last chrismas I was a major bah-hum-bug didn't put up a tree and didn't even buy many gifts, so this year the tree went up early and the orniments are on! Cameron even agreed we need a bigger tree, so after x-mas this year when they go on sale we will be getting a new biger tree!
Ok well that is all for now
