Happy Halloween (and 15 months)



We had a great and crazy Halloween here in our neighborhood! We had more trick-or-treaters than ever (I'm really bad with guessing numbers but would say around 500)! Grandmommy, Grandaddy, Uncle Nathan and Aunt Cambre came out to help us hand out candy to all the kids. First we visited our new outlet mall (which I can't tell you how excited I am about having shopping less then five min. from our house--much less discounted shopping..my favorite!) the stores were supposed to have candy for trick-or-treating, but we basically just walked around--Cameron did snag some sour jelly bellies (and ate the whole box--I have to cut the sweets down now that Halloween is over).



This was one of the brief moments without any trick-or-treaters.

We came back here afterwards and had kids running to our door before we could even pull all the way into the garage. We were attacked! After dinner we went to about 4 houses with Cameron for his first REAL trick-or-treating experience. That was about all we needed this year. I'm sure next year we might even tackle the entire cul-de-sac :).
Our favorite neighbors stopped by. Annalise was the cutest little duckie! Cameron can't wait for her to be able to play with him!
Cameron don't forget your pumpkin!



Our neighbors house. She went back to get extra candy for Cameron :)
Look mom M&M's!
now that I think about it...I'll just sit right here and eat them.



Today we had Cameron's 15 month Dr.'s appointment. I can't believe he will be 15 months on Thursday!
He is growing right on track in fact he is growing off the track height-wise.

Here are his stats:

Head: 18 1/2--50th%
Weight: 22lbs 5oz--25th-50th%
Heights: 33.25 inches--90-95th%

He is tall and thin! I was telling the Dr. about the things he likes to eat and told him how Cameron can say cheese now too (wasn't sure if that was b/c he LOVES cheese so much or because I take his picture so much)...right then Cameron smiled and squinted his eyes and said "cheese" :) He smiled so big when they weighed him and laughed out loud when they used the cold stethoscope to hear his heartbeat. After our appointment Uncle Nathan stopped by and Cameron and I were showing him his bandaide and I said this is his boo-boo and Cameron repeated me and said "boo-boo". A new word! They were out of the flu shot so we will have to return for that in a couple of weeks (Cameron was ok with just having one shot today though).

He is getting to be such a big boy. He is now sleeping in his toddler bed (in our room) for the first part of the night. We are also progessing on the whole "weaning" process. He is down to milk in the morning and at bedtime--one once in the middle of the night. Much progress going from 6am-8:30 without milk! One of his new foods he loves is hot-dogs! When we went with Jason on a work trip the hotel we were at had sausage and Cameron gobbled it up before we made it up the elevator. The next time I went to publix I picked up some hot-dogs and he loves them! He is still quite the mama's boy and I don't mind one bit. I love the open mouth kisses I get from my sweet boy!
