Cameron's Favorite Things!

I thought I would just post some pics of some of Cameron's favorite things/people right now.

He loves to listen to Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Eric Carle. He will bring it to us to read to him or just say "Brown Bear".
Our little adventurer LOVES to climb all over the furniture. He has no problem climbing up something high, or just laying on top of the coffee tables.

He loves his Nana Joy and Papaw. Nana Joy gives him whatever he wants and Papaw lets him play with the trains.

MICKEY MOUSE!!!!!! Can it be any bigger? Cameron absolutely LOVES Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He asks to watch it ALL day. =) Sometime I will turn it on real loud to get his attention from his room. He will hear it, then run to the living room saying "Mickey Mouse". After it begins he has to sit on his couch to watch it, unless he wants to touch the tv screen to tell me the characters. If we watch it in Tim and I's bedroom, Cameron will bring his couch in there to watch it. It is so hilarious. I was in Target last weekend, and I swear his eyes glued into anything that had Mickey Mouse on it.

Nana and Grandpa - ENOUGH SAID

Here are some other things he loves:
1. puzzles
2. drinking out of big cups
3. swimming
4. cuddling with momma (he gives the best kisses)
5. BOOKS - this makes me so happy. He loves looking at books, so I hope he will continue with this and love reading them as well.
6. flashlights
7. french fries (Yes, my child knows when we are at McDonald's. He will say "fries".)
8. PHONES - Cameron loves holding and playing with phones. So if you ever get a weird phone call from me, you know who is really calling. He imitates talking on a phone. This only works with a real phone. He will not play with all the play phones or old cell phones.)
9. sneaking into the kitchen to get into the candy jar. (We no longer have it)
10. chasing me around the house.
He is ALL boy and it is such a blessing to be his momma. I pray that he will continue to grow to be a respectful, generous, compassionate, loving, young boy who shares his laughter with all around him.

4th of July weekend

Cameron loves his HandyManny puzzle
Cameron and Mommy went to the A.C. Steere Park on Saturday to play on the slides and in the water.

After going under the water at the park.
Cameron had to have Mickey sit with him on his couch this morning in order to watch his Mickey Mouse show. So funny!

Painting with a Twist

I went to Painting with a Twist last night. I had a great time and really learned alot about how to NOT paint. =) The above pic is my finished product with help from the instructor 2x. I could've done better but I think I was so flustered with how to shade everything into a masterpiece. I know what to do next time. I am going back in a couple of weeks so it will be all fine and dandy.

Father's Day weekend

This post is just some pics from today. We went and visited with Tim's dad, Roger, and his honorary dad, Cecil.

Cameron has remember the train room at Tim's parents house. So he immediately said "TRAIN" when we got to their house. Mr. Roger has built this train set and track over the years. Heis very good with all these types of things. He showed Cameron how to make the trains go faster/slower. Probably not the thing to teach him, b/c his little hand kept turning the knobs.



We then went to Keatchie to visit with Cecil and Ria (Oma and Opa). They live in the country, so Cameron loves playing on their property. He even saw the cows today that weren't in the shade for some ungodly reason.

Cameron's 1st surgery

Cameron had to get tubes put in today in both ears. We had to be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. to get admitted. Yeah, they don't tell you that you will have to wait 30 minutes once you get there to get called to sign the paperwork. We were #3 getting signed in, but everyone after us got called before us. You can imagine this was very inconvenient when we have a 2 yr. old who has been awoken VERY EARLY in the morning. We took him in his pjs and he loved that.
Cameron did very good before, during, and somewhat after. =) He entertained everyone in the waiting rooms, day surgery halls, and the nurses. As soon as we got to the day surgery floor we had to wait again to get a room assigned to us. You would think that wouldnt be a problem with over 30 rooms. Well as we waiting, Cameron kept calling for his Nana at the top of his lungs. SO FUNNY! Pretty soon, she walked around the corner andthen he started calling for Grandpa. When we got into the room, we immediately knew it would be a lost cause trying to confine him to that room. So his nana found a wagon to walk him around in. He LOVED it, but you can't tell from the pics. During his many walks, the nurse did his stats. When they gave him his loopy med (versat?), the entertainment really beefed up. Cameron was so funny. He couldn't hold his head up at all. He was in la la land. Pretty soon the surgical nurse came and got him. He did very good through the whole process they said. He was soon back with us in the room. We then had a very cranky toddler who didnt want to drink or eat anything. Surprisingly we were discharged pretty quick. He got some presents for being so good. Nanny gave him a Tigger stuffed animal. Nana and Grandpa gave him a slinky & small Elmo toy. He was such a good patient.

Girls Nite Out

(From left to right: Sarah w/Mason, Nichole, me, Amy, Whitney, and Courtney)
Last night we had our 1st girls nite out since Savannah was born. We all met up at Olive Garden and had dinner. It sure was yummy. Lots of conversation about all different topics. After dinner we headed to Amy's to watch a movie. Anyone who knows us knows we wouldn't be watching the movie. It was on, but between the laughing and mommy conversations, the movie was shut off. All of us agreed to do these nights more often.

Mommy's Day Out with kids

On Saturday morning, I had a Mommies Day Out with my good friends Amy and Nichole. We took the Cameron (2), Carter (6 months), and Savannah (7 weeks) to the Boardwalk and to lunch at McAllister's. We had a great time hanging out.
