Cameron said what?

What did he say?

Bath Time

Cameron just ADORES his bath! Especially bubble baths! Every day he lights up when he gets to splash around in the warm, bubbly water. When he's all clean and his hair is washed, he loves for me to take him out of his little bather chair and put him directly in the bath water. I'll pull him around back and forth in the water for a few minutes and he just LOVES it. He is the CUTEST!
Cam is now 8 weeks old and he is all smiles and even the occasional giggle! He LOVES music! He and I love to dance around his nursery to his new Jewel tunes. He also loves story time. Some of his favorite books are Love You Forever, The Little Engine That Could, and Abby Kadabby.
John and I have been trying to get some video of him giggling and "talking" as my mom calls it. He will make the cutest little noises sometimes when you talk to him. It's almost like he's trying to talk back to you! I will eventually get a good recording of it on my camera and I will post it so you can hear how cute it is! For now, here are some cute pictures I took of his bath time today...






He loves to scoot himself down in his little chair!


roles roles roles!


Crazy hair!

Playtime at Mimi's

I only have a few minutes so this will be short and sweet. Cameron just fell asleep so I figure I have a good 15 minutes to do a post! The boy hasn't closed his eyes all day! But he did sleep through the night last night! (midnight to 6:30 a.m.) HOORAY! We'll see if he does it again tonight. He's slept 5 hours at a time on some nights but he's been inconsistent so I can't really say he's "sleeping through the night" yet.
Anyway, here are some ADORABLE pics my mom took with him today. Cam just LOVES his new toys his Mimi bought him!

I heart Jewel's lullabies

I have always been a big fan of Jewel and she recently came out with a new Lullaby CD. I bought it the other day and Cam LOVES it! I play this CD for him at bed time. Here is the end result...



If you have little ones (which most of you do!) I highly recommend picking this one up! I even enjoy listening to it myself! So even if you don't have kids, it's great soothing music for all! Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

First week back at work

This past week was my first week back at work. All in all, it went well. It was good to see everyone at the office again and it was nice to get out of the house and stimulate my mind in different ways but it sure was hard being away from Cam! On my first day back, my mom watched him. She and Cam met me for lunch so that made the day a lot easier. My second day, Amyee kept Cam. At around 3 pm I was REALLY MISSING HIM so much! That had been the longest I've ever been away from him at one time. Amyee and I were texting throughout the day and she was telling me how good he was being and how he just loved to watch Dayton, Amyee's son. It made me feel better to know he was having a good time. Then Amyee took the CUTEST pictures of Cam and emailed them to me at work! It was so good to see his cute little face and it helped me get through the rest of the day! (See below for the pics- they are so cute!) My third and last day at work this week actually fell on my mom's birthday so I again got to meet her for lunch and she brought Cam so I could be with him for a little while in the middle of the day. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't hard to leave him and go back to work but he's definitely adjusted well and I think he is going to like his little weekly routine. He has all kinds of new toys and things to play with at my mom's house and he has a new little buddy- Dayton at Amyee's! And I will be home with him on Tuesdays and Fridays. Then on the weekends of coarse. Life is good for that little man. Here are a few pics from this week...

Our lunch date at Olive Garden


Happy birthday mom!


This week, John's dad Nelson also celebrated his birthday. Happy birthday Nelson! Your card is on it's way- late as always! Sorry we are such slow pokes!

Cameron's day at the office

I had to go into the office today for a brief meeting with my boss and so I decided to bring Cam along to meet all my co workers. He was a big hit with everyone! Especially the ladies! They all wanted to hold him! The men I work with thought he was cute but showed no interest whatsoever in holding him! It's so funny to observe the differences between men and women and how they act around babies. The men acted like he would break if they held him or something.

Cam is now 6 weeks old and I will be going back to work part time on Monday. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by! I'm going to work 3 ten hour days a week. I'm very lucky because my mom is able to watch Cam for 2 out of the 3 days and my friend Amyee is going to keep him the third day. I'm glad that I don't have to put him in day care! That would have been very hard! I feel good knowing he is with people I know and trust. I can rest assured that he will be well taken care of! I know I will miss him though! Here are a few pics of Cam's first day at the office...


Cam with my boss Lisa


Cam got a little hungry at the office even though I fed him RIGHT BEFORE WE LEFT HOME! My little piglet loves to eat! A little too much according to the pediatrician! :) Here is Cam with Auntie Christina feeding him his bottle

I just have to point out his CUTE little camo shoes! I registered for these at Target and his Aunt Wendy and Uncle Brian bought them for him! Thanks Wendy and Bryan!

Here's Cam with our department admin assistants





Here's Cam napping with my old co worker Lee. She works over in Advertising now





After we left the office, we went to visit my dad. Here are a few pics of Cam and his poud papa. He has him wrapped around his little finger...


And here he is eating AGAIN! He now weighs 10 pounds and 10 ounces. He's growing like a champ!

Cabin Fever

After a month or so of hardly EVER leaving the house, cabin fever set in! I needed to get out of the house desperately! John and I started having a weekly date night thanks to my mother in law Marlene who watched Cameron for us and of coarse my mom too. Marlene, John's mom came down from Tennessee and stayed with us for about 3 weeks after Cam was born to help me out. She cleaned my house, cooked my meals, watched Cameron, basically did everything while I recovered! She was so great! Before Marlene left to go back to Tennessee, she, my mom and I went for a girls night out to one of my favorite restaurants Cheesecake Factory and we got pedicures! It was a great girls night out! Here are a few pics we took...

Pedicures!






I had another girls night out with my friends from book club. Since 2 of our book clubbers had babies last month (myself included!) We didn't get around to reading a book that month! We decided to go out to dinner instead!


My dear friends April and Julie moved away the next week. Their husbands have completed Orthodoctic school here and now they are moving on to begin their careers. I'm going to miss you girls so much! Keep in touch and keep blogging!
