And Cameron makes three!

Dear Cameron: Month Twelve (You're ONE!!!)

2011-11-09T15:53:00.000-07:00

Dear Cameron, Guess what? You're officially a one year-old now! I am still in awe that God gave you to me and daddy and that we get to be your parents. We are so lucky! In the last year you've learned a lot! From simple things, like how to nurse... to the more complicated things like taking two steps on your own on your first birthday (daddy and I both saw it and our jaws dropped!). Mommy

11 months gone in a flash..

2011-10-09T15:16:00.003-06:00

Kristen sent me a picture of Cameron this morning when I got to work. It was a picture of him sitting by the trash can holding my drink cup from last night and trying to drink out of it through the straw. He had stood up, gone into the trash and found a cup to drink out of. Just a day before, he got mad because I put locks on the cabinets to keep him from climbing in and tossing stuff out. He

Dear Cameron: Months Ten and Eleven

2011-10-08T17:27:00.010-06:00

To my little Monk-Monk: Well, it’s almost time to write your ONE-YEAR post, but it’s never too late to recap the last two months and let you know how you’ve continued to be a joy and blessing in your daddy’s and my life. In the last two months you’ve continued to grow physically (you’re HUGE buddy), but you’ve also grown and changed so much emotionally. In the last two months you have fully

Everything's changing.

2011-09-01T15:55:00.001-06:00

The other day I was thinking about how our lives changed over the course of a year and a half. I really had to think about it because what was so foreign last November, is the everyday now. Before we had Cameron our time was spent much, much differently. Greg and I were both still working full-time, but the way we spent our evenings and weekends was so different to how we go about things

Little buddy..

2011-08-18T12:44:00.002-06:00

9 months has flown by in the blink of an eye. It seems like yesterday I was rushing home from work to be with your Mom and to meet you. It seems like hours ago that I was holding you and wondering what you would be like when you did something besides sleep and poop and cry. It seems like seconds ago that you couldn't feed yourself and you couldn't figure out how to sit up. Here I am today

Dear Cameron: A note...

2011-08-14T21:51:00.001-06:00

Please slow down, just a little bit. Love,mama

Live entertainment!

2011-08-10T13:44:00.001-06:00

Last Night while I was eating my dinner, daddy played the guitar for me! I liked it a lot and bounced on my bum!

And for my next trick...

2011-08-08T06:33:00.000-06:00

I will finally hold my own bottle and drink the whole thing for the first time ever! Ta-daaaa! (One handed too!)

Dear Cameron - Months Eight and Nine (Whoops! Bad momma!)

2011-08-07T20:46:00.001-06:00

Dear Cameron, “A mother’s love for her child cannot be put into words. The only way anyone could ever understand this bond is by becoming a mother themselves.” Oh, mommy is a bad mommy! I missed month eight! By the time I realized this, a whole month had flown by, you were nine months! Everything is going by way too quickly for me and daddy. I hope you’re enjoying every moment as we are

An anniversary!

2011-08-07T09:09:00.001-06:00

Last night I went over to my best buddy's house. It was her parents anniversary. We had dinner, played and watched Veggie Tales with her big brother Erik! Then I came home an slept like a champ! I'd had a long day of fun and sun at the pool with my friends Peyton and Mason and their mommies, Danielle and Kylei!

My nana came to visit me!

2011-06-28T12:17:00.029-06:00

Last week my nana came to visit me! We went for walks a lot. It was really hot out! Nana gave me my bath every night! I liked that! We had a photo shoot outside and took pictures for daddy's first Father's Day present. We played a lot on my mat.... sometimes I wasn't in the best of moods! Other times, I was! Mommy got me these brand new blocks at Once Upon

Bath time!

2011-06-21T14:21:00.001-06:00

Last night Cameron got to take his first bath in the kitchen sink. I say "got to," because this is something my dad, my younger brother, and I all did when we were small enough to do so! He throughly enjoyed himself and splashed EVERYWHERE. The floor and counter were soaked. At least he was happy (and clean!).We also took a few pictures outside of him too! They're so cute. I'll post more later.

Dear Cameron - Month Seven

2011-06-17T15:48:00.000-06:00

Dear Cameron, Hi sweet baby boy. I’m sorry this is a week late. Life is busy, but that’s not a good excuse. These letters are important to me to write to you, so that one day you can look back and read them and see what a joy you were to mommy and daddy, and all of the things you achieved each month. So, what’s happened in your seventh month of life? You’ve had four great achievements this

6 month check up!

2011-05-19T21:36:00.001-06:00

Today, Cameron had his 6-month check up. He is 27.5 in. and 16 lbs. 12 oz. He's in the 75th percentile for height and 30th for weight! He's my little sting bean. Poor bubs had to get two shots today, again. He cried, but not that much. He's had a rough afternoon and evening. I hate shots and seeing him cry, but I know those vaccines are for the best!

Whoops!

2011-05-13T14:39:00.001-06:00

While I'm at work and Greg is home with Cameron, I always ask him to send me pictures of Cameron. This particular day, Cameron didn't think daddy's funny faces were funny! Oops! Hahaha.

6 months!

2011-05-08T17:27:00.001-06:00

Growing just way too fast for mama!

Dear Cameron - Month Six (Mother's Day 2011)

2011-05-08T06:47:00.005-06:00

Dear Cameron, You are six months old today! Do you know what that means? It means you’re halfway to your first birthday, growing up way too quickly, and making mommy a little sad in the process. I don’t know where my little itty-bitty has gone! This month, like usual, was an eventful one for you! You had your Nana Rhodas and Grandma and Grandpa Moore come to visit you. You’ve had multiple

Nappy time!

2011-05-07T14:31:00.000-06:00

Cameron took a good nap today. Only in his diaper though because it was warm in the house. I am so content just watching that sweet baby sleep. Good nap, so why the sad face?! Wrong side of the crib...

Cameron loooves bathtime!

2011-05-03T19:19:00.000-06:00

He loves bubbles too!

Look at how I've changed!

2011-05-01T15:10:00.000-06:00

1 day, 1 month, 3 months, almost 6 months!

5 months of Cameron

2011-04-13T09:21:00.002-06:00

Cameron-The last 4 months your mom has been writing these monthly letters to you. I thought maybe, for your 5th month, I'd write you a letter and tell you all about what being your Dad has meant to me so far.The last couple months have been an adventure for us. With your Mommy going back to work in Feb, it's been the two of us a lot during the weeks. I have to admit, it was hard at first. You'll

Ah, the weekend.

2011-03-19T21:39:00.001-06:00

Today I took Cameron to The Butterfly Pavilion with Hillary, Erik, and Ava. Afterwards, we went to Caribou Coffee, got drinks, and sat outside with the kids. It was beautiful and we all had a great day!- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Rice cereal!

2011-03-13T16:31:00.001-06:00

Today I had my first taste of something other than milk. Mom gave me organic, brown rice cereal. I didn't like it that much, but I did swallow it and didn't push it out with my tongue. Even though it wasn't my favorite, I was still a happy baby!- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Dear Cameron - Month Four

2011-03-11T12:25:00.002-07:00

Dear Cameron, Today you are four months and three days old. Yes, I’ve been slacking since this past Tuesday and am three days late for your letter. You were 15 days early, so we’ll call it even, okay? ;) On your four month birthday, you had your four-month check up and immunizations. In two months, since your last appointment, you’ve grown 2.5 inches and gained 2.5 pounds! You are my growing

How do you make perfect, twice?

2011-03-01T12:13:00.003-07:00

It’s probably a little premature to be thinking about this, but I’m pretty positive that one day I’d like to give Cameron a sibling. Being that I was an only child for almost nine years before my little brother, Sean, arrived, I feel it’s very important for Cameron to have a sibling close to his age. It makes me wonder though… How do you make perfect twice? Let me explain – While nursing Cameron

Before I became a mommy...

2011-02-22T11:57:00.002-07:00

Before I became a mommy… · I didn’t know how hard it was to take a shower before noon.· I didn’t know how easy it would be for so much to become about the baby and hardly anything about you.· I thought getting five hours of sleep was deprivation.
