Norma & Barb come to visit...

We got a surprise visit this past weekend. They made the drive in from Dallas and got here Friday night and stayed until Monday. We got to watch Crazy Norm jump out of a plane on Saturday morning.



Then took some fun pictures in Jean, NV, panning for gold & riding in mine carts.




These are the pictures to make Grandma Donna jealous (sorry Norm made us).



Then Cameron and Ooops:

This is a picture of me at lunch eating my first orange...making a mess.

Us goofing around in the car on the way home.

Finally, a video from Norm...he made this sound all weekend. David says he's done it before. However, this weekend he wouldn't stop...so we are calling this noise "the norm" since they constantly did it back and forth at each other and laughed.

Happy (early) Easter

Shortly after our last blog the greatest thing happened...Cameron learned how to hold his own bottle!!! It makes things so much easier.

Let me show you my teeth...

We were visited by the Easter Bunny. Happy Easter!

I'm reminded of a song...Here come's Peter Cotton Tail, hopping down the bunny trail, hippity hoppity easter's on it's way...

First 2 Teeth!!

Last Saturday we discovered that Cameron had cut his first 2 teeth...the two bottom center. He has been drooling for a long time now, but we had no idea he was really teething. There were no signs at all. He just happened to put my finger in his mouth and I felt something sharp. I thought it was only 1 tooth. Then Sunday morning I looked at it...and it was 2 teeth.

So, as a tribute to the 2 new teeth...here are some videos of Cameron eating.

I've got a new favorite sound...

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin

This week Cameron perfected the art of rolling over entirely on his own...and took his first tumble off the couch. Now we can't keep him on his back. As soon as he gets on his belly his little legs start going and his arms are going. Right now the only thing he accomplishes is spinning in a circle. However, it doesn't look like it will be long before he figures out how to crawl. We were actually able to get his first solo roll entirely on video...so I'm adding it here. Plus a couple of other cute videos.

Always a wild hairdo...and blankets in my face...or something in my mouth.

This was the first time I rolled over without any help...or assistance from an incline. It was a LONG process and took 3 consecutive videos to get it all, but eventually I figured it out. Now I don't stop rolling.

Here I'm supposed to be laying down for a nap, but I just don't want to fall asleep...so I try rolling over...and then stop mid way.

Then just a couple of me being silly.

A little ham!

We have finally reached the point where he no longer freezes and bankly stares at the camera. We can get videos without having to have to hide the camera or take side shots.

Quite the sleeper & puker!

So I realized in the last post I forgot to mention that Cameron now recognizes his name. That started a few weeks ago. Plus, we are finding ourselves needing to move up to the 6-9 month sizes a couple of weeks early because his legs have gotten too long for the 3-6 month. He looks like he's always wearing floods. His dad actually put a pair of overalls on him the other day and just left them all unsnapped because he was too long for them...looked like a dress. Poor baby! Otherwise, not a lot of new updates.

Always sleeping with something on his face. He loves to rub blankets on his face when he's tired.




Here he was helping mom do laundry. The first picture he was in a basket of his own dirty clothes. He was having so much fun. Worked out perfectly when he puked all over himself as soon as this picture was taken. Made it really easy to toss his pjs in the washer and carry him back upstairs in the clean basket of towels. Little chubby boy...hard to believe these pictures were taken within 5 minutes of each other. He looks so tiny in the first one...and so chubby in the second.

I'm such a restless sleeper!! This is how I put myself to sleep everytime...sometimes it's more violent thrashing back and forth. I was just really tired in this video. It's no wonder I have a huge bald spot on the back of my head.

22 Weeks Old

Cameron just gets cuter by the day. Constantly laughing. He's really starting to develop a little personality. He loves giving hugs & kisses. Right now he is facinated by his feet...constantly kicking/hitting. He's developing his hand eye coordination. It's funny to watch him grab for his bottle and try to get it to go into his mouth. I think we're getting close to him holding it on his own though (YEAH!). I'm afraid we're also getting close to teething time. He can't stop slobbering and chewing on everything. Now for the latest pictures & videos.

Here are a couple of me with dad after bath time.




I can't get changed without touching my feet. Check out my hair!




Aren't I so cute in my hat? It's a little big, but it was working for me until dad had to flip up the bill.

I love shrieking just to pass the time.
