Camdyn, Me and Lilly Makes Three........

Girls for Daddy....four if, like us, Barley makes the list! However, he is loving it up and posing for every photo op possible!

Welcome Baby Lilly!

With both Jeff and I laid off, it has been a lack of Technology, rather than absence of time, that has kept us from officially welcoming Baby Lillian Grace to the Weer Family! Our "little sister" arrived Friday January 15th at 7:17 pm at Wallowa Valley Memorial Hospital. Even smaller than her sister (is that possible?!?!), little Miss Lilly tips the scales at barely 6 pounds and was given the benefit of the doubt in the height department with a length just shy of 19 inches, leaving us scrambling for preemie clothes for our full-term baby! More updates and photos to come...we promise!

Breakfast with Dad

While Mom finishes up work, Dad and Camdyn have been enjoying some new breakfast traditions.....and apparently table manners didn't make the list! However, I guess with the price of groceries these days, I should be thankful not a drop of milk is being wasted at the Weer House!

On Pins, Needles and Rubbermaid Totes?!?!??!

First, thanks to all of you who have expressed concern and sympathy about Baby Weer #2's delayed attempts to introduce his/her self to the world. I now have quite the list of people who will not allow me to call and/or text until I am in labor...leaving me with no one to talk to and a bit of free time to blog! After expecting an early arrival, this Mom and Dad are literally on edge all the time waiting for the imminent pains to begin, and I can't breath the wrong way, without Jeff running to start the car, bag in hand! However, pins and needles doesn't really explain Camdyn's laissez faire attitude about the arrival of our newest addition. Perhaps Jeff and I should take notes, and rather than walking around on pins and needles, we should try Rubbermaid totes filled with Legos....apparently, the baby is not the only one content in small, confined spaces!

Strike a Pose.......

As with many little girls, dressing up is one of our FAVORITE activities. From mom, to dad, to Barley.......we love everyone to get involved in the action! However, unlike a large number of female tots, we are not donning tutus and high heels.....at the Weer house Carharts, Super Camdyn Capes (thanks Auntie Sara) and, of course, sunglasses set the foundation for our outfits of choice!

On the Twelve Days of Christmas Santa Brought to Me..........

Forced to lay extremely low and local due to the impending delivery of Weer Baby #2, the family had an incredibly relaxing and low-key Christmas morning! Although we have yet to finish celebrating, Miss Camdyn has already received more than any one child could ever need.....thankfully, not a single toy requiring a battery or unending hours of assembly was found beneath our tree...increasing the holiday pleasure for all!

Our top 5 favorite finds........

5. Several new puzzles
4. An old-fashioned top
3. Our first set of real Legos
2. The crazy pushable biking man from Auntie Jill

and our most beloved gift of all?!?!?!

1. The sample-sized box of Apple Jacks from Gamma!

Camdyn On Ice.......

Move over Disney....Camdini on ice has arrived! We gathered a couple of friends and headed to the community rink in order to test the ice-skaing skills of our little princess! Although we couldn't find skates quite small enough, we put our snow boots and bike helmet to the test.
While I can't say she didn't have a blast, she definitely wasn't quite old enough to understand exactly what was happening....and refused to relax her little legs so that Mom and Dad could drag her around. Thank goodness a more prepared parent had brought a sled, allowing her to spend the rest of the morning being pulled around in comfort and style!
