Sixteen months today
















I’m on holiday, which is glorious! I feel like I am in green pastures, beside quiet waters.

Cam is doing absolutely fine. We remarked this morning that it’s actually been a couple of weeks since we’ve had to take him to a doctor…!? Yay!

A new pair of silicon hydragel lenses arrived from the UK on Monday, so Cam has the luxury once again of a long afternoon nap (his morning sleep is now a thing of the past, so for the past few weeks he has only been sleeping for half an hour, once a day).

Everyday, he is saying more, doing more, understanding more. I’m struck that it’s such a daily miracle, watching a child’s growing and becoming. René, his teacher at Heavenly Babies, says that he has already made tremendous progress in terms of his navigation, social interaction, free play, etc. She is confident and optimistic about his potential to the point of being almost completely unsympathetic about his VI status! :)

Cam has spent time with all six of his cousins this week – a real treat! (The pics are of Meagan and Craig’s visit, yesterday.) And Ben, Tyla and Dylan came to play yesterday, too. It’s so sweet to watch the little men pottering around together.
