Traveling Walkers: Cam's First Christmas

Over Christmas I meant to write a bunch of posts with all of the stuff that we did... you can see how well that worked! And then after New Years I meant to put a post too... again, not so good at that. So here is Cam's First Christmas Wrap-up.

As I mentioned, we went to Tim's family for Christmas this year. It was a five hour car ride each way, and Cameron did so, so well. We were so happy about that - he slept most of the way and only woke up to eat. On the way home we made a tactical error and tried to get home instead of feeding him when he was hungry, which resulted in him crying for about 20 minutes before we found a parking area to pull over in so he could eat.

In Swansea, Cam got to meet lots of family that he hadn't met yet, so that was exciting. He just loved his cousins Ella and Jack, and they loved him too. We stayed in Swansea until the Wednesday after Christmas and had a great time seeing everyone every day. We wish that Swansea and Syracuse were closer!!

Back in Syracuse, we had Christmas with Kristin's family. Cameron got to meet his Uncle Paul for the first time. Since we were home all week, they spent a lot of time together.

We went to Rochester for New Year's, spending the evening with Jeff and Jaime. It was quite fun, definitely not as crazy as New Year's in the past, but I guess that is what having a baby who wants to eat every three hours will do to you! Cam stayed up to ring in the new year, falling asleep about a minute after midnight. We were trying to get him to sleep from about 10pm on, but he persevered until midnight and watched the ball drop.

Tim took vacation from work so he was home from December 22 through January 1st. It was great having him at home; we didn't get as much done as we were hoping but the three of us had a lot of fun together.

Here are lots of pictures from over the holidays. Check out the December photo gallery for more photos (click here for a link).
