Lots of news!  First, we think Campbell is teething.  He’s been drooling all the time and chomping on everything he can get his hands on.  So we stuck our hands in his mouth to feel, and sure enough, we can feel something under his gums.  It hopefully explains why he’s been super fussy and why he wasn’t sleeping very well over the weekend.  Thankfully, he slept better last night.

And, speaking of sleep – that brings me to the next and more important news.  When we went to the doctor last week, he told us that we could discontinue using his apnea monitor at night.  So last night was the first time Campbell slept without his monitor.  He did great.  It helped that when I checked him on the monitor in the middle of the night, he had rotated himself a full 90 degrees, and by first thing in the morning, he had rotated a full 180 degrees.

He’s also really getting better at putting his hands together in the middle – clapping is one of his new tricks, and we are working on teaching him to “touchdown” given the impending arrival of football season.  That one still needs a little more work, but we are making progress.  🙂

And, here’s a picture of one of his other tricks – you can see the mid-line hand control here where he’s really holding his own bottle!

Finally, we had some other excitement this afternoon.  We all went out to the golf course after I finished work, and we managed to play all 18 holes.  Campbell was happy and stayed in his carrier for about the first 6 holes.  Then, he started crying on 6 and 7 a little, but he had fallen asleep again by the time we teed off on #8.  He slept for 4 holes, and then he stayed awake but didn’t fall apart until the end of #18.  We had to pass him back and forth some, but it really went pretty well all things considered.  We were really impressed.  And here are some cute pictures from today’s adventure:
