Cam had his four month appointment today and I have a lean baby. His stats are 13 lb. 11 oz. and 25.25". Average height and skinny! But I was never a chunky baby, so I guess he’s taking after me. Doctor isn’t concerned about it, so neither am I. However, four months means four shots. He took them like a champ, but now has sore legs and wakes himself with every jerk. It’s going to be a long night…

My office had their annual Halloween pet parade on Thursday, which is always a riot. All the dogs get dressed up and parade about, and get a bag full of treats for participating. If you have any children, they are welcome to come and get their own treats of a different sort. Chris brought Cam in costume which was fun; many of my coworkers have never met him. It was held inside this year due to our ark-building weather but it still worked out great. Cam was (can you guess?) a pumpkin. Pip dressed up like a fire hydrant, and none of the dogs mistook him for the real thing. However, dog hats are not stable things and kept sliding off to the side.

No trick’or’treating for us this year. The Blues have a game which we don’t want to miss. Instead, we’ll dress Cam up and spend the night watching hockey. I’m sure I’ll have more photos to share!
