Talbot Talk

I have been trying to post for so long and could not. I am not sure what was going on with the computer. I couldn't even post the cute pictures of Cameron or change my background. Anyone else have problems?

Things are still the same, Scott has yet to find a job. Nobody is even hiring it seems. It is such a tough time right now, so scary! I am extremely grateful for my job and the opportunity I have to work, but it is hard. It breaks my heart everyday I leave Cameron. I don't know how mom's do it. People always say it gets easier with time, and I am waiting for that!

Cameron is growing and changing everyday. He had his 6 month check up a couple weeks ago and he did fabulous. He is such a tall little boy, 29 inches! That is 96 percentile! He was just under 20 pounds, and after starting him on solids, I am guessing has hit the big 2-0.
He was so excited when we gave him his first serving of rice cereal. He was grabbing my hands to feed him faster. He has done well with the veggies too. He really likes carrots. Not so interested in the green beans though. He will eat them because they are there, but not with much excitement.
He is such a playful happy boy!

First bite....This is different....

It has been ages since I posted! Sorry, it has been pretty busy the last couple weeks.

I am sad to announce, Scott fell victim to the economy and was laid off last week. It has been really hard for Scott to figure out what to do next. Job hunting is the worst! We are very grateful that I have been able to come back to work full time until he finds something. On the other hand, it is so hard for me to be away from my little man. When I see him after a long day at work, he looks so different! So grown up!

The day after we found out about Scott's job, I met with my visiting teacher. I had explained what happened with Scott and she made me feel so much better. She had a similar situation happen with her a few months before. She had to finish up student teaching and had to work while her husband stayed at home with her baby. She said it was hard, but that it was a great experience for her husband and the baby. It really is not very often that dads get to stay at home and play Mr. Mom. I am so glad Scott gets to be with Cameron while I am away and am excited to see the closeness they will share.

But I also look forward to Scott finding a job so I can be back home! I miss Cameron more than ever.

On a lighter note, Cameron is officially half a year old! I cannot believe my little love is 6 months! Time has flown. I have truly enjoyed EVERYDAY he has been here with us. I am so blessed to have such an amazing baby. He is doing so many things now. He has been sitting up by himself now for about a month, which makes play time on the floor a blast! He talks so much and I can't wait for him to say Mama! I know it will be awhile, but I feel he is getting closer! I am constantly saying...ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma over and over to him. He will get it!!

Cameron,

Thank you so much for choosing your Dad and me to be your parents. These last 6 months, you have brought so much joy to our lives that we didn't know was even possible. You are constantly amazing us with how much you change and develop each day. You are so happy, sweet, energetic, and loving. We are so lucky to have you and can't wait to watch you grow even more.

Thanks for being a good sleeper, kisser, cuddle bug, eater...everything!

We love you bug! Happy 6 months.


Cameron kisses
