Callum is 3 months!

Phew, it's tough to keep a blog up to date with a new baby! We're all doing well, happy, healthy :) Callum is gaining weight like a champ and we're looking forward to his dinosaur costume this Halloween!
And now....pictures!

Smiles! and Shots:(

Hello There!

Today Callum received his 2 month immunizations with Dr Fay. I thought that I would be okay to stay with him while he was being injected but at the last minute i panicked and fled. Luckily, Vicky was there to help out-Vicky is Dr Fay's receptionist-extraordinaire.
Cal received 2 shots today and is having his 3rd done next week as our doctor doesn't like to overload babies with stress. I'm not sure how I feel about that, is it better to delay and space out the stress or just get it over with?? I have to go back next week either way for my checkup as well so I guess we'd be there anyway.
Poor little bunny, screamed bloody murder during the shots. He's recovering ok, he's been pretty upset but I think the infant tylenol is helping. Thankfully he's been able to sleep since we've been home.

On a lighter note, Cal has started smiling!! He's practicing his smiles alot now and loves to coo and make different sounds. We have a ritual where we talk about our day before bedtime, he's so funny!

Off to bed <3

2 months old!

Hi Everyone!

Well, in 2 days Callum will be 2 months old! Alot has happened in the last 2 months....what a big change it is to have a baby in the house!

Callum is waking up around 3 times a night now, he sleeps for around 3-4 hours at a time. It's amazing how your body gets used to broken/lack of sleep though, I can honestly say that I haven't been as tired as I thought I would be. He's just started practicing his smiles and just yesterday rolled over!

Everyone is completely in love with our little man-I must get stopped 30 times a day by people commenting on his cuteness :) Tommy is having a bit of a period of adjustment to not being an 'only child', but he sure does love his baby!

Callum is being exclusively breastfed now, we were supplementing occasionally with formula but now we don't need it. We're also going to be slowly easing Cal into cloth diapers as I hate the amount of garbage we're generating with the disposables. I've been really lucky to find a friend in my complex, Emily, who is a doula and makes natural products (she has a website www.naturalcreation.ca). Cal was having allergic reactions to his baby shampoo (Johnson's) and since I switched to her products his skin has been great! Everything with a baby is a major learning curve but it's neat how fast your confidence grows with each day.

Now on to the good stuff, pictures!

Baby Callum!

On July 3rd 2011 at 12:53am we welcomed to the world our little boy, Callum Rendell Anderson!!
He came 2 weeks early and weighed 6lbs 7oz. He's been in our lives for a little over 2 weeks now and we are just loving being parents:) Big brother Tommy is pretty thrilled too-he can't stop licking the baby! I will try to keep CopperDog updated with Callum's progress and will post lots of photos (I promise)

Love,

Meagan, Shawn, and Callum <3
