Cameron in 40 years

These pics were not planned...just 2 pics that I found of these 2 look alikes!

Spring is in the Air!

Today we got the first taste of spring...I think the temp. was around 50 this afternoon! We took Cameron to his favorite park. He had fun running around and exploring. I was surprised he didn't want to swing or play on the gyms much, he was just having fun running around. I have a feeling he's going to be wild this summer...but I'm sure we will have lots of fun, I can't wait!

I haven't posted in a while...our days have been pretty uneventful. Cameron has been keeping me busy with Dr.'s appt.'s and sleeping difficulties! He went to the ear dr. last week - hopefully we resolved his ear issues and was prescribed Prevacid last week also for what we hope is just GERD. He has to take it for 8 weeks and hopefully it will resolve itself, if not we have to go to another specialist. As far as sleeping, I'm not sure what happened, but Cameron now freaks out when I leave the room when I put him down for a nap or bedtime. So I lay next to him on the floor and rub his leg. It's really pretty pathetic how he has me wrapped around his finger! He will slam his legs on the crib, stick them through the rails, etc. until I give in. I'm not sure how we are going to break this one. I tried today and he got so worked up that I had to take him out of his crib and rock him and I held him for 2 hours while he slept. Each time I attempted to put him down he would wake up. I really wanted him to sleep because he was such a crab, so I just held him, but I know I shouldn't be doing this. So I guess he got rid of his paci but now he needs his mommy instead. So I've been really tired. The nap time doesn't bother me as much because I usually need a nap too and I'll fall asleep, but I just don't get anything done anymore! Last week, I was in his room until 11 for 2 or 3 nights. By 11 I'm so exhausted and I have to get up at 4 the next morning. I don't see it getting better any time soon since he will be transitioning into a bed, but maybe he'll do better than I think. We want to keep him in his crib for as long as possible, but he's started stacking his pillow, his lightning mcqueen pillow and whatever else he has to have in his crib that day, and then stands on it all and climbs like a little monkey. So hopefully he doesn't climb out, but that's usually when it's time to switch to a bed! Mom is not ready for that!

Looking for Nemo

Snow on the ground...hopefully the last of it for the season!

Hmmm...should I do this?

Cameron...well, being Cameron at his 2 yr. appt.

I don't know why, but I love this picture! It's not the best quality because I took it with my phone. We were just hanging out waiting for the Dr. to come in.

Mom's little "Heartbreaker"...What a difference a year makes!

Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day!

No more paci!

Well, our paci days are over! I'm not sure what happened, but Cameron has quit cold turkey! We had his 2 year dr. appt. last Thursday, 2/4 and I remember him sucking on his paci that day. Friday, he started having ear pain and didn't take his paci at all that day. I thought, well last time his ears were bothering him, he didn't take his paci, I assumed the sucking caused pain. Well last time it only lasted a day and he would still try to suck on his paci, but would get irritated. I really think his ears were bothering him last week, but he seems to be doing better. However, he now just laughs at his paci's as if he never even liked them. I can't believe it! It makes me a little bit sad, just because it is another phase that Cameron has outgrown, another sign that he is becoming a big boy. But at the same time, I'm happy that it was easy! The dentist had told us we should try to ween him off at 2...well it was pretty much to the day!

So no more stocking his paci bowl at night, or restocking in the morning. Now I just go in look at my big boy as he snoozes away without it. I'm so proud of you Cameron.

Just a few paci pics to look back on...I love you Cameron!

2nd Birthday Bash!

Cameron had his birthday party at Gymboree this past weekend, all the kids had so much fun! Cameron absolutely loved it! He loved all the kids being there, all the activities, all the attention...he was just so happy! There was an instructor who led all the activites, which were all great! There was lots of music and the kids were all very entertaining too! The best part was a big parachute at the end. The kids played on the parachute, under the parachute, blew bubbles...lots of fun was had by all the kids (and adults too)!

Thanks to everyone for making Cameron's 2nd birthday a memorable one! Here are a few pics of the birthday party.

Countdown to the Superbowl...GO COLTS!!!!
