A fence

My husband gave me the best present a girl could ask for - a fence for the backyard. It really has changed our lives. Cameron is all about the outdoors and to let him loose is a thing of beauty. At the end of the day he's sweaty, sticky and full of dirt. He's all boy.

Cameron got to play with his cousins Alex and Kaleb these past few months. He had a great time with Kaleb in the wagon.
In his glory!

Bubbles are the latest craze. If you notice the puddle in the background, that's the container of bubbles he dumped out. He still doesn't understand that they aren't edible.

Picture updates

I hadn't downloaded pictures from my camera in quite some time, and I found a few gems.

I love this picture of Jack's bathtime. It's one thing that soothes him and usually leaves him wide awake.




He's bigger than his brother was at this point, and this picture shows it.

Jack has started smiling and cooing a lot. He's definitely a happy baby, especially at 4 am.


Cameron feeds himself with a spoon now, but sometimes I take that for granted. See picture below. One minute he was eating spaghetti-o's and then he realized his hands are giant spoons. As you can tell, we live in a house where mess is just another decoration.

2 months old

I am not sure what happened to the past two months. Jack weighs in at 12 pounds 13 ounces. He's 22 inches long, which has to be incorrect since he was 22.5 at one month. I wasn't exactly paying attention at his appointment. Sleep deprivation. He really is a great baby. He's going with the flow for the most part although I'm not sure he had a choice.

I got the crazy idea to go grocery shopping with both Cameron and Jack BY MYSELF. It wasn't just a "we need bread" grocery run either. It was we need everything from diapers to bread. As I sat in the parking lot, I contemplated turning around and going home. This is why they invented McDonald's, right? No diapers...hmmm. I sat for five minutes looking at my list and debating the necessary items. Only mandatory products allowed. Then the cart debate. Cameron loves to drive the car. I could put him in the car and then put the carrier in the basket. Where will the groceries go? I decided the Austin Powers mini me baby carrier was the way to go. How in the hell does this thing even work? A lady was in the car across from me staring me down as I tried to put the carrier thing on and then tried to wedge Jack in it. I didn't feel comfortable fully letting go of Jack with one hand so I shopped and pushed a basket with one hand. One lady stopped to mention Jack had lost a sock. My response, "Ma'am, if the only casualty of the day is a sock, we're doing pretty good." We survived and managed to find the sock waiting patiently for us by the car.
