12:30-Sibling Room time. Alexis and Cameron play upstairs in one of their rooms. After they scream at each other for a while I will find them either playing "go to sleep" where they drag all the pillows and blankets to the floor to pretend sleep (it's really cute to hear Cameron pretend snore), or they are "reading" books.

7:30- Bedtime Routine. Bath, read/drink milk, sing, and pray.
Sleeping: Cameron is still in a crib. He sleeps very well at night 8pm-8am. Occasionally he will wake up a little earlier, but he stays in the crib until 8am. This is a time boundary that I have set in stone (unless the kids are sick).
I am thankful that night time sleep is going well! However; nap time has recently become a disaster. I am in the process of figuring out what the problem is. Cameron used to sleep 1-3:30/4pm. He is now waking up at 2:30 ON THE DOT most days. He wakes up screaming at the top of his lungs and can not settle down to go back to sleep. I know that he needs a longer nap because the rest of the day he is grouchy and fussy at the slightest irritation. It might be teeth. It might be developmental. I don't care what it is...just want it fixed :)
Eating: O my! Cameron is an eater!! He eats and he eats FAST. It is hard to pick a favorite food for him because he scarfs most things down. Broccoli and carrots may be the fav and go to vegetables. He loves pasta with red sauce-what a mess!. Favorite fruit is blueberries these days. He would eat our entire grocery budget in blueberries if I would let him. He does not love black beans, lentils, or quinoa.
Talking/signing: God, Amen, Jesus, Bible, book, All Done, No, Cookie, Cracker, Mommy, Daddy, Lexie, down, please, thank you, truck, dog, school, shoes...I'm sure there are a few more, that's all I can think of right now. Josh and I are working on making Cameron talk more. He is often frustrated because he lacks the skills to say what he wants. He will repeat words.
Playing: Cameron loves to mimic! Especially his big sister. Yesterday they were twirling in the yard like ballerinas. He likes to do real things. For example: sweep, clean things with a rag, "help" put the silverware away. He is into stacking blocks and zipping/unzipping. Balls, balloons, bats, and anything with wheels are the favorite toys.
