Risa has a new friend

It has been interesting watching Risa's response to having Cameron in the house. We missed a good video taping opportunity the first time they met!

Generally, Risa has just been curious. Every once in awhile, she goes over to the bassinet to check out what is making the squeaking noises. When Cameron is crying, grunting, or squirming, Risa tends to get the same head tilt and look on her face as when she hears an animal make a noise in the yard and she's not sure what it is. It can be pretty funny sometimes.

Risa has no idea what she's in for when Cameron is old enough to chase her around the house and pull her hair. Risa does so well with other kids, like Cameron's cousin Amelia, that we are hopeful she will do well. So far, she hasn't had jealousy issues, either. Since Kirk is home from work this week, she probably is getting even more attention than usual.

We'll see what happens as time goes on... 

Visitors Welcome

Folks have started dropping by to meet Cameron. "Grandma" Carmen stopped by Sunday following church. Upon leaving the NICU we were told that we should be a bit hermit-like thru cold season. So we are installing a bubble over our house, and ordering pizza every day until April.
OK, that's a bit extreme. All we are asking is that visitors wash their hands as soon as they come in and when they are about to hold Cameron. 

Cameron's Bassinet

"We were able to make it gender neutral, but we could not make it unbiased." - Brad Kidd, describing Diana's amazing work on the Bassinet cover. This bassinet was Steph's grandpas when he was a baby some 80 years ago.
