Happy Birthday CAMERON!!

Ooooh, my sweet Cameron! Max chose this apple just for Cameron and I thought,"There's probably no harm in this - Cam has little teeth and a little mouth." I was right- no harm; just look how sweet he looks. He also kept watching me and I know he was thinking I was going to take his apple away. I just love all his little bite marks in the apple. Oh yes, Cam eats real people food and has been for the past 2 months. He's a growing boy and baby food just wasn't cutting it for him. After "apple time", Cam was pretty sticky, so I wiped him off and put him in his chair with some milk, cereal, and cut up apple bits. He was having so much fun making a mess that I just had to let him go and take some pictures later. After this, he was promptly put into the tub. I'm so glad he waited to make a mess until after I put his seat cover in the wash.

I just LOVE this boy!!

Happy Birthday!!

Baby #3 Doc Appointment

My appointment yesterday went great. I still haven't gained any weight since my first doc visit. LUCKY ME! I now have a noticeable baby bump. Y'all hear that! I'm not fat, please notice that I AM pregnant! Also, I received some information yesterday at the doc's office that could be really crazy and will not be confirmed for 3 weeks (my BIG ultrasound).

SO, I will not comment on my crazy news and Chris probably won't either (as he has turned green and might barf) until the end of March.

PEACE!

Milestone # 526,979

Cam's a-walkin... I'm so glad I had the camera close to tape this HUGE milestone. Cam had been taking 1 or 2 steps here and there, but then he'd just drop and crawl because he's super fast at that. Well, that may be a thing of the past.

Please ignore my annoying, excited mommy, voice.

Alas, Boys will be Boys...

Chris and I were actually talking about this yesterday, how boys will be boys and MY boys will be covered with cuts and bruises all the time BECAUSE THEY ARE BOYS. Well, Max has the bruising part down FO SHO! This kid ALWAYS has bruises all over his shins. How does he get them? Who knows? I even asked him how he got hurt and he said he wasn't hurt.

Now that Cam is starting to walk around a bit, the bumps and bruises have begun... he's always running into stuff while he's crawling or getting conked with a toy. Well, today was our first gusher. I guess he bumped his chin on something on the play kitchen and then Max yelled,"Mom, there's BWUUD aww ova!" So I survey the scene and it looked like Cam had eaten some chocolate and it was all over his face... well , it wasn't chocolate, it was blood. Here is a picture after the cleanup:
Not too bad... Here's a closeup of his "wip":

Not shabby... upon further inspection, Cam also has the same slit/cut on the inside of his lip in the same spot... so, my hypothesis (that sounds smart) is that his tooth went through his lip. {Sigh} Now his lip is just getting fat but it doesn't seem to bother him... he just keeps sucking on it. The bleeding has stopped so that's good.

I know this is just a precurser for my life ahead, but c'mon! Cam's not even one yet!!

Grammy = My mom (Leslie)

These words were literally just shouted at me this morning:

Max: I want to go to GRAMMY'S! Go on a date NOW!


We then had a discussion about yelling at mom. A date does sound pretty good about now. Chris, wanna leave work so we can go on a date??

On another note... Cam was up all night for no reason at all; he just didn't want to sleep and wanted us all to be awake with him.
Today is going to suck!
