So here we are, a couple of months into the new year and we have not posted anything to our blog. Sorry folks!!! :) We are the worst bloggers EVER!!!
I'm sure this picture will soften your hearts and forgive us...
In order to compensate for the lack of blogging, below are missing chapters to our lives in the Nisbet home.
Trouble with Bedtime
It's been a little struggle getting him to sleep throughout the night, but last night he slept for the first time from 9:30pm til 5am. I still was anxious and couldn't sleep because I kept anticipating him waking up around midnight and 3 am. He only squirmed a little bit then around 2 am I heard him get fussy. I waited about 10 mins then went in to check on him. I was really quiet to make sure he didn't hear me, and when I saw him, he was shaking his head with a really sad fussy look. When I looked closer, I saw that his eyes were closed and felt really bad that he was having a bad dream. So Saddies! Fortunately, he calmed down when I placed my hand on his chest and didn't fuss the rest of the night. Actually it worked so well last night, that when he woke up in the morning he was entertaining himself and never got fussy. He was actually a pretty happy baby today. :)
Happy 4 Months!!!
Yesterday was his 4 month Birthday and with that he had his 4 month check up and shots. You ask what his stats are? Weight is 16lbs. 5oz. (85%), Head is 42 1/4" (50-75%), Height 27" this is the kicker he is in the 97% for his height. So far he is right on track for those sports scholarships. YEAH!!!
Grandma Pehrson's Visit
Life is pretty good right now. Grandma Pehrson was here visiting for a few weeks and was able to get to know our little bug. She was wonderful. We have lots of extra food in the freezer that's easy to warm up and serve. Yummy!!! It was also quite the education for me. Raising 6 kids, having 7 grandkids I think would definitely make her the expert. She worked with Camden in ways I never thought of and watched how quickly he progressed with her "exercises, flips, and other things." The books talk about how to give a baby massage, but until I watched my mom give one to Camden , I never realized how much he loves to be rubbed down, especially his feet and hands.
Funny Story...
So our friends Will, Jen and their son Preston came over to our house one weekend. Preston seemed really facinated with Camden's feet.
As we faced the two boys in front of eachother Preston immediately focused on Camden's feet and preceeded to take his socks off.
Later that evening Camden was sitting in his bumbo seat in front of Preston.
Preston again focused on Camden's feet he preceeded to start to taste our son's feet.
Christmas 2008
Snow on Christmas Day!!!
Christmas was great this year. We had family and a friend spend the Holiday with us, plus it was Camden's first Christmas.Here we are...

Aaron, Erika, and Camden
Then we have Greg (Brother-in-law) and Jayne (Sister)
Dewayne (Jayne and Greg's Friend)
Present Time...
Pictures were the popular gift this year...
Dewayne was a little bit of a surprise for Christmas day, but we were able to find some extra goodies for him to unwrap too... (Trade Show give aways... I always knew my marketing job would come in handy.) Everyone seems happy!
So here are some of the many hundreds of pictures we have taken. Camden is truly the apples of our eyes. He is very particular when it comes to sleeping and eating and he loves to complain, but the best times are when we get him to giggle. He has the best laugh. We love him so much.
Nap time!
I love this picture. Camden is so cuddley!
Camden in his pink tutu! I told Aaron I would buy Camden a tutu even though he was a boy! The proof is in the picture... :) Ha Ha! I think this one is for the album I show his future girlfriends. :)
Maybe it won't be a sports scholarship... Ha Ha!
No matter what he wears he is still so DANG CUTE!!!
"Please find me a new family. Amen"
Life is too short to not take lots of pictures. That's all for now!!!!

Who wrote this? Erika or Aaron? I think it was Erika because of the Grandpa Pherson comments. :) So Erika THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!! I know we haven't been able to catch up or hang out lately and I am so grateful for blogs for this reason because I absolutely loved seeing all of the pictures and reading about you guys.
Camden is SO cute! Wow he has grown so much since I lost saw him. I always thought he was the spitting image of Aaron but in these recent pictures I can now see a lot of you in him!
Okay the part with Preston eating his feet...SO FUNNY!! I had forgotten about that! Thanks now I can just download the pics from your blog instead of waiting a year for them. LOL hahaha jk.
