February 2012

Cameron loves working out with David. And as you can see from the photo he does so with a bowl of candy next to him...sounds like a great idea to me!


Finally made it back to Springs Preserve to see the new Nevada State Museum. It was a hit with Cameron because they had stuffed animals and wolly mammoth bones. At first he was a little nervous to take a picture with it. Then he got way into the pictures and wanted one with everything we saw. They also had a NASA exhibit...not as impressed. He is so into outter space too so we were bummed it wasn't better. Planetarium will be next. This was Daddy's first trip to Springs Preserve with us so Cameron got to show him all around.











These lips were a sucker from Valentine's Day. A cute story. Every night there are always hugs, kisses & eskimos still before bed time. Has always been that way and continues to be that way. One day David told Cameron that when he got bigger he wouldn't want to give hugs and kisses anymore. Cameron assured us he would never be too old. Now he will randomly say "Don't worry even when I'm big I will still give you hugs, kisses, and eskimos ok?".

And now some pictures of Cameron and Melia. In most of these they were "playing ghost". This is one of Cameron's favorite things. You just put a blanket over your head...sometimes while you try to walk around. During one session he actually walked into a pillar and got a nice bruise/goose egg on his head.














Then one final funny story. Cameron still hates getting water in his face. Bath times are a big deal especially when he needs to have his hair washed. The other day David got water in his face. Every time this happens we try to say "it's not a big deal" and get him over it. David told him "I was so proud of you because when we got water in your eyes you didn't cry...see it wasn't a big deal right? We don't sweat the small stuff". Cameron's response was "No it's not a big deal, but I do sweat the small stuff."

Picture People Shots - End of January


We took Melia in for her 6 month pictures. Cameron posed for some shots as well! We got some really cheesy grins in some of these. Love the one where he is in mid fall. She was trying to get him to do a soccer trap and he couldn't keep his balance.

Nursery Rhymes

Cameron performing some nursery rhymes. You will see Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater, Humpty Dumpty, Little Miss Muffet, and Sing a Song of Sixpence.

January 2012

January was a pretty slow month for us. Melia was really sick at the start of the month and it lingered. Then Cameron ended up with a cold and an ear infection. So most of our time was spent at home laying low.

Cameron did take time out though to perform for us. We got a show after dinner one night. Cameron's new favorite song is "Party Rockers" by LMFAO. Melia wasn't overly impressed though. A funny story to go with this song. One night Cameron asked to sleep in my bed. I laid in there with him while he was going to sleep. It was completely quiet and I suddenly heard a little voice start singing "party rockers in the house tonight...everybody just have a great time...and we're gonna make you lose your mind...we just wanna see you...SHAKE IT". Haha. So funny!


He is still playing soccer. This month a new session started and he got a new coach, Coach Riley. He seemed to transition well. In the meantime, he has been perfecting his football throw and catch.


He also got in trouble for drawing on his face with a marker. Luckily it came off in the bath.




He is obsessed with playing the Wii now! His favorite is Super Mario Brothers. Surprisingly he does really well with it. He also likes his Wipeout game from Christmas. It ended up being a tough game to play as it requires you to use two different controllers at the same time...again he has mastered it! We really have to control the amount of time he plays. He will literally wake up in the morning and the first question is to play a game. He will even try to negotiate by saying, "Mom, I get a choice. I can either go play Mario right now. Or I can not go play Mario right now." My answer is usually "Ok you do not get to play Mario right now". He hasn't quite figured out how to position it so my only option is to pick what he wants.

When he can't play games he likes to watch David play Playstation. This photo shows them all glued to Playstation.

Then some other random shots.


Making kissy faces.

Making funny faces.
  
Mader Teeth from Cars - it was a sucker.
