What are your children's names and birth dates?

Camron Maxwell Firouzbakht, age 9 weeks, 1 day as of June 8th, 2008

Are you considering having more?

We're still getting used to our first one, but so far loving it and so the answer for now is .... probably.

How would you describe your parenting philosophy?

Lots of love, attention and fun. Anything that gets a big smile will do...

What's your favorite parenting book (if any)?

Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child (though I disagree with some of the book...)

What are your family’s favorite books and toys?

Right now he has little interest in toys. He's much more fond of looking at faces and interacting by copying expressions and laughing.

What are your family's favorite foods?

Breastmilk!

What one adjective would you choose to describe your household?

Sleepy :)

Describe your most humbling parenting moment.

Ok, maybe not humbling, but funny. He simultaneously pooed and sprayed a fountain of pee all over a visiting nurse. Even she had to laugh.

He's started rolling from his tummy onto his back, but can only roll from his back to his side as of now. His arms keep getting in the way. Mack will have to give some lessons.
My mantra is close to yours: 65% is passing, 65% is passing :)

Awesome new pics! Love the sox game nap.

Now off to property...

I'm falling a bit behind on my studying too, but hopefully now that the lectures are ending, I can buckle down and get to practicing thos essays. I just keep chanting the 89% pass rate over and over in my head...

Can't wait to meet Cam...he looks like such a sweetie!

Interesting tidbit... anyway, we are doing great... Jessie is so big now and learning new tricks at an astonishing pace. she is standing on her own now, and I'm sure it will be no time til she is walking! let's aim for a get-together in July after the bar is over. miss you guys! :)

At 7:51am on June 10, 2008, Gisella said…: I uploaded a pic of Jess so check it out! How are you guys doing? I sent you an e-mail too, we have to get together soon!

At 5:37am on June 10, 2008, Courtney Apgar said…: We have been doing well, though the last couple of days have been rough. Mack has a respiratory infection which announced itself with a high fever at 2am. He's doing ok, just really uncomfortable and coughing alot, but we've got the fever under control. He's fine, but Josh and I are quite sleep deprived :).

How are you guys doing?
