Happy Times!

(I'm learning to sit up in my bumbo..I'm getting better each day!)

Last week Jason celebrated his 29th birthday! Unfortunately he was working second shift so it was a short afternoon celebration before he had to go into work. Simple...just the three of us and a terrible excuse of a strawberry soccer ball cake that I attempted to make (not my best). Daddy had a work trip this past week so Cameron and I went and stayed over at Grandmommy and Grandaddy's house. I can't believe my baby who has only had breastmilk had a bite of ice cream (I knew Grandaddy would be sneaking that in sometime soon--don't worry it was only about a teaspoon's worth--he did the same thing with Cameron's 3 cousins)--I'll have to get the picture and post it soon. It sure is nice to have them here! Cameron has all of a sudden really grown up in my eyes. He is so much more alert now. He enjoys looking at books with sounds, and watching his Praise Baby DVD. He smiles and coos (talks) to us (my favorite) and still really enjoys his bath time.

Jason and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary this past Wednesday. I came home to 3 red roses in a vase on our kitchen counter. They were extremely long for the vase--he didn't cut them but that is just how Jason is and I like it. This is the same guy that thinks mashed potatoes and grapes go together for dinner...sure why not? Things sure have changed in this past year. Last year we were in Hawaii snorkeling in Huanma Bay, on a shark dive in the ocean and eating shaved ice next to the pool. This year I'm walking around smelling like spit up with a burp cloth thrown over my shoulder, an unattractive nursing bra on and a pair of terry cloth pj pants... and you know what I'm happier. (Not to say I don't want to go back to Hawaii one day) but I couldn't be any happier..next time we'll just take Cameron with us! I am so thankful for our family of three now. We have it all.

This little guy melts my heart...I love everything about him. I love to smell him breathing when we lay down together, the way he falls asleep on my shoulder when I burp him after eating at night, and the funny faces he makes as he stretches his neck back after waking up. He is such a good baby and I still can't believe he is ours. I love him so much.

We are gearing up for Halloween. It's a big deal in our neighborhood. They actually block off the streets so cars can't drive since there are so many kiddos walking around. I'm sure Cameron will be thrilled with his pumpkin costume-Ha! He didn't smile when I tried it on him the other day. I'll let him pick his own costume for future Halloweens..but this one I get to. We're looking forward to sitting on our front swing handing out candy to the kids.

We are also getting ready for our big trip to Disney World!!!! Can you tell I'm excited? I can't wait! I'm sure I will have lots to share on that when we get back. This will be Cameron's first plane ride--luckily it'll only take about an hour. I'm ready to start packing!

Tomorrow my nephew Braxton celebrates his 5th birthday! Happy Birthday Buddy!!!
