Life is good!
My favorite sound is to hear my little man laughing.

What a handsome fella!

When did that tiny infant we brought home from the hospital turn into this.....I snapped this picture while he was napping on our couch because he looked like such a big boy!

I am so excited about this Christmas with our family of three. I could not have asked for a better gift from my God. I feel so very blessed, honored and undeserving of this miracle.

Baptism, Dr. Appoint., and Rolling!

This past Sunday we had Cameron baptized in Sonday Live. God has been so good to us and has guided and directed Jason and I to this point in our lives. We feel it is now our responsibility to be an example of God's love for Cameron. We were so happy to have the people we love surrounding us as our son was baptized. He did so good and looked handsome in his gown and bonnet! He even made it through the entire service without making a peep! What a good boy he is! Only once did I have to step out just to change his diaper. After church we went back to mom and dad's and had a delicious lasagna lunch! Thank you Grandmommy and Grandaddy for all you do for us!


Monday Cameron had his 4 month dr. appointment. I had been dreading this one because I knew my little guy would be getting more shots. His two month ones were painful for both of us. I had warned Jason about how terrible it was going to be since he was able to come with us this time. When we got there we were told he would be getting 4 shots (I thought it was only 3). I was ready to get it over with. Daddy held his legs and I his arms...and guess what...no big deal! Completely different from his 2 month shots. I held his passie and he grunted with each shot but took it like a champ. By the time were we scheduling his 6 month appoint. he was happy as a lark talking to me. I'm so glad these were much easier! Our not-so-little guy has really been growing lately. Here are his 4 month stats:

Weight: 15 lbs. 3oz (50th %)
Height: 25.25" (50th%)
Head: 16 1/2" (50th%)

Looks like he is right in the middle for everything. He has gained over 6 lbs in the last two months and my arms can definitely feel the difference! He is as healthy and happy as can be!

Another big milestone!!! Cameron rolled over by himself! (4months 4 days) I had my little squirt laying naked on the rug in the bathroom getting ready for his bath, and all of a sudden he went from his back to his side to his tummy! I was so proud of him and called his daddy at work right away. Cameron was really proud of himself. He is quite the wiggle worm and I really have to keep my eye on him...he is ready to go places!

Lots of Changes

Cameron just 3 days shy of 4 months!

I can hold my head up so good now! I'm very proud of myself!

sleeping next to the Christmas tree

I'm a pretty happy baby

He loves his jumper now

My little guy (not so little anymore--14lbs) is changing so fast! I still feel like I'm learning new things about him each day and trying to figure out what is best for him. He is so much fun and getting smarter each day! He understands when it's bedtime and tries to stall--isn't it too early for that? I'm always "googling" things to try and figure out what other moms do about napping and sleeping and feeding ect...sometimes I wonder if I make things harder on him by answering his every little cry or if I am comforting him and doing the right thing? For instance is it bad that he sleeps in his swing during the day? Should he be napping two hours in the morning? Right now the swing is off and he is asleep because I don't know if he is getting too used to moving and needs that to sleep? He is really an excellent baby and seems very happy. As long as he is healthy, happy and growing I suppose I'm not doing too bad. He brings me so much joy. This morning we were walking around the house him cradled in my arms while I sang Christmas songs to him...he would just look up and grin at me...those are the moments where I feel he is telling me "your doing good mom..don't worry". He rarely cries--only seen a few tears (most of which happen when he has been in his carseat for awhile and I can't get to him since I'm driving). I have a feeling I'll see a few more tears next Monday when we go in for his 4 month appoint. and second round of shots--yikes! not looking forward to that day. This time daddy gets to come with us...he'll understand what I'm talking about.

At the beginning of November we took our big trip to Disney World with Grandmommy and Grandaddy and had a wonderful time!!! We camped in the pop-up at Fort Wilderness for 11 nights!! Cameron slept better than he has ever slept. I assume that is because he didn't get his long naps during the day and was exhausted by bedtime. Grandmommy and Grandaddy made things really nice for Daddy and I and took care of little guy several times while we rode things that we wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. Cameron saw so many lights, heards lots of sounds and was so stimulated. I really think he enjoyed it. Since he won't remember this trip I will have to convince Jason that we need to go back sooner than later :)

Our family of three at the Magic Kingdom

Grandmommy and Jason with pastries--suprise!

Grandaddy is so funny--he makes me laugh!

Cameron's face during the Spectromagic light parade--he watched the entire 30 min. parade with his face like this! It was both Jason and my highlight of the trip! He loved it! It was amazing! Can't you tell?

We are getting ready for Christmas--our house is decorated, half of our lights are up outside and our tree looks great. We really want to teach Cameron what the meaning of Christmas is all about and even though he may not understand right now we can show him love and teach by example through our daily actions. We plan on eating our sausage egg cheese casserole, drinking hot chocolate, with our fire going and Christmas tree shining. I'd like to get into the tradition of reading him the Christmas story from the Bible each year. I want him to know the name Jesus not just Santa Clause. This coming Sunday we plan on having Cameron baptized---he likes baths so maybe he will enjoy the water on his head :) I'm hoping we can make it there on time, with a clean gown, and a happy baby...is that too much to ask for?


I am beyond blessed.
