Our week in a nut shell

Life with Cameron is so much fun! He definitely knows his mommy which makes my heart very happy! I had no idea it was possible to love someone as much as I love this little dude! Every week flys by. In our house Thursday nights are kind of like Friday nights because Daddy doesn't have to go to work on Friday. Maybe that is why my weeks go so quickly. This week we celebrated Daddy's birthday, played with cousin Jenkins & Auntie Ash, got to spend time with Grandpa and Grandma. Lots of fun for a 2 1/2 month old.
Shanny I had to show you how cozy the little cougar warm up is you and your family gave him. We attempted to go on an early morning walk with Jenkins and Ash. It was a super windy morning, as I was looking in his closet to see what I could find to keep him extra warm this is what I came accross. Not thinking it would fit yet I was pleasantly surprised and sad all at the same time. Remember how huge it was next to his little body when you gave it to him? Needless to say he only got to wear it for a quick ride in the car to Starbucks as it started to rain side ways and we didn't think it would be such a fun outing anymore. We will try again next week :)
Love the buns in this photo had to share!

It has been forever since I have posted anything.... So sorry! Not sure why I can't find a minute to do a quick post since I only have one child and most of you have two or three...Imagine me with more kids!
This first picture is of Cameron with my dear friend Sandy. We work/worked together (not sure if I am going to go back one day a week or not) I'm pretty sure Cameron knows her voice as much as he knew mine and his dad's when he was born. To say the least one of our best skills was catching up with each other everyday! Don't get me wrong we did work too! The main thing I miss about work is Sandy! As you can see we still make time to see each other, she is such a great friend!
This next photo is Pam, she is Sandy's sister and also works with us...She wasn't in on all of chit chat because she worked in the back office. Now however she is doing my old job, and it sounds like she likes it better. Thanks Pam!
This is Britney Sandy's daughter who is such a sweet heart! She is a freshman at WWU. This past weekend we were all together for a baby shower. It was great to see Brit, I hadn't seen her since she came to the hospital to visit when Cameron was born.
Next we have Cameron and I! This is my first picture with Cameron since he was born. I guess there have been others but I have always been in my bathrobe looking quite disgusting! Isn't he changing so fast!?! He smiles all the time. Yesterday while he was asleep in my arms he laughed out loud for the first time! It was so sweet. Now he just needs to work on laughing while he is awake :).
Last but not least a family photo, once again at Daddy's office. Yesterday was Daddy's Birthday! The girls took us to lunch at one of our favorite resturants "Spiro's". We had a nice lunch and Cameron was so good! The girls fight over holding him. He is well loved!

Family, Coffee, and Conversation

I have the most wonderful aunts in the world...At the end of last summer my auntie Karen (the one holding Cameron) came up with the idea of picking a date once a month to get together and catch up with each other. The group includes my sisters, my mom and of course her sisters. Last Friday was our January get together. We take turns figuring out where we're going to meet. This particular day we met at a local coffee shop. I love that we do this! We always have a good time and lots of laughs!
The next 2 photos are just random pic's...I had a lot of laundry and only two hands...Daddy thinks we have a future basket ball player! Only time will tell...So long for now.

Pajama Party

I LOVE this stay at home thing! There are so many reasons why staying at home is great, one of them being early morning coffee with a dear friend! Yesterday Leslie dropped off Mag's at school and came over for a visit with sweet Ava. Both Ava and Cameron were still in their pj's.
Isn't she so sweet! Ava wanted to be like her big sister Maggie who always gets to hold Cameron. She did such a great job! Not sure what Cameron is trying to say here...
Last but not least a close up of the ever changing little man. He has so many fun outfits, but they are always covered up by bibs as he is constantly puking! We have spit up all over our floors ( I do clean it up) thank goodness we have hard woods!

noisy afternoon's

Late afternoon's tend to be a bit noisy around our house, thanks to the little man....
So yesterday I called up Auntie Ash to see if we could come over for a visit. She had been in Hawaii over Christmas (can't you tell by her lovely tan :) )
Of course he was a perfect angel with his auntie smiling and talking to her. However once we got in the car it was a whole new story! I think he cried the whole way home, and then continued on for another 2 hours. It's about that time again tonight, we'll see how it goes!

This little outfit I think he only got to wear 2 times! I learned very fast to buy clothes big! He went from everything being way to big for him, to out growing most of his 0-3 month stuff. Last night we weighed him on our scale, he is now 11.5 lbs! No wonder he feels so heavy!

THANKS SHAN FOR MY NEW BANNER!

Cameron's First Christmas

We had a great first Christmas with Cameron... We Celebrated it a week early as my sisters were with their in laws on Chistmas day. So it didn't feel completely like Christmas, but it was nice to be all together. Cameron got this adorable towel from his Auntie Aim, and Uncle Scott. He loves taking baths. He usually takes them first thing in the morning, after his breakfast of course... He is so alert now and even though he's only 6 weeks, he seems so big! In a lot of the pictures I take, his hair seems to look kind of reddish...However in real life it doesn't look that way. Maybe it's my flash? Shann any ideas?
Finally here is Cameron's cousin Jenkin's... He comes over to play from time to time. Ash and I had to laugh when we looked over and saw him hanging out it Cameron's little chair. (Les if we break it we will be buying you a new one!) After the photo shoot we put the chair high out of his reach! Well as I write this the little man is waking up so talk to you later!

A trip to Daddy's office

Last week Cameron and I got out and about for the afternoon... The girls at Paul's office had been waiting forever to see him. Almost as long as you all have been waiting for me to post another blog! That is Karyn, Paul's receptionist completely loving this little guy! She gave me a nice break . She held him and I socialized with Bogi and Laura, Paul's assistant and hygienist. I also answered a couple of phone calls and made a few appointments! I try and make myself useful while I'm distracting his employee's from doing their work.
This little man is changing so fast! Yesterday I took him down to Edmonds to pick out cousin Jenkin's Christmas gift, all the ladies in the toy shop commented on how fresh born he was... To me he seems huge and not fragile anymore. I like that he doesn't seem so breakable . At his 2 week appointment he had gained 2lbs in only 8 days! Now that he is almost 4 weeks old I wonder where he's at on the scale? I hope he slows down the weight gain just a little.
