Happy 1st Birthday Cameron!!

Our baby girl is 12 months old. She is 1!! This last year has flown by. Since we don't know many other friends with babies we just had a small party for her.  I made these cute cookies as a party favor. They were super easy and yummy.





Even though we only had a few guest I still took the time to make some cute decorations. I love the way her banner turned out!



My mom was suppose to arrive before the party but her plane was delayed and so Jeremy left the party to go get her. So this was the only family photo I got.


Our only baby/momma friend came. Ali and Jett. Ali was Chandler's kindergarten teacher. And Jett is only 3 months younger than Cameron.



She is definitely a momma's girl and at first she was overwhelmed by the few guest and everyone making a fuss over her. "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!" 


She wasn't too sure about her cupcake but with some prodding by momma and big sister she got the hang of it.







The super fun cupcake toppers that one of Jeremy's friends made for us.!



We had a good time celebrating our big girl!  She is continuing to grow. Her weight is 21.4 lbs and her height is 30 1/2 inches. She is in the 90th% for both. And her head circumference is not even on the charts it is so big!  She is currently wearing 18 month clothes. She is still cruising everywhere and beginning to take her first steps. 
Cameron, you were a surprise, miracle to mommy and daddy!  We are so happy, blessed and in love with you. We adore you more and more everyday. We love you more!

Cameron is 11 months!!

How can you be 11 months Cameron?!  How can you just have 1 more month until you are a 1 yr old? Why are you growing up so fast?!


Cameron continues to be an absolute delight! She is truly a happy, easy going baby. She spends her days cruising all around the house and getting into EVERYTHING!



It is still pretty warm in the mornings. If we have an occasional cooler morning I try to take my 2 babies out for a quick walk. Jake continues to be so sweet to Cameron and she adores him. She loves to pat him, rub him and even lick him!


Cameron got her first ride in the car cart at the grocery store. She loved it.


She enjoyed driving the cart and smiling at everyone. It is a rare occasion that I can get her to wear a headband or bow. I am surprised she kept that one on. 


She is a totally go with the flow baby. She still takes a morning nap for about an hour and a half and then about an hour in the afternoon. Right when it is time to get big sister from school she starts to get tired. Sometimes we have to wait for Chandler and I have to do anything to keep Cameron awake until we get home. So I let her hop in the front seat with me. She is such a ham and was loving it!

She loves, loves, loves her walker. She is getting really good at it and loves to push it ALL over the downstairs. She has gotten really good at maneuvering it around corners.


She is wearing size 18 months clothes and size 4 diapers. She goes to sleep around 7 at night and wakes up around 6:45. We spend most mornings at home and then try to get out and play or do something before lunch time. We only recently checked out the play area at the mall. She loves it. Especially if big sister is with us.


This was the month we discovered she LOVES ice cream. We let her have a few licks of Chandler's cone and she went wild for it. Screeching and grabbing.


She couldn't get enough!



Cameron, I can not believe it has been almost 1 year since you were born. None of us can even remember what our lives were like before you entered them. You are sweet, happy, easygoing and loud. You are the best surprise we ever got. You are truly a miracle from God. And we can never express how much joy you bring to us. We adore you so much and I hope you always know that.

Cameron is 10 months old!

10 months, wow!  Hard to believe our sweet baby is almost 1 years old!  Our girl weighs 19.10 lbs and is 28.75 inches. She wears a size 4 diaper and most her clothes are 18 months. She has a whopping 5 teeth. Two on top and now 3 on bottom. And there are more on the way. She is teething like crazy!!


We had some big accomplishments this month. She is pulling up all the time and onto everything. And she began cruising!  I don't think Chandler cruised until after a year. So this is a big thing. She is so proud that she can pretty much get wherever she wants to go by herself now.


She is a very active baby and enjoying her new freedom. One of my favorite things to do is just sit and watch her play with her toys. When I watch her entertain herself and discover new toys she seems like such a big kid. But it is still so sweet to watch her do so.


Her favorite show to watch is called "The Shushiebyes". There is a lot of dancing and music which she loves. I think this is picture is cute. So intent on her show. I know babies aren't suppose to watch tv but it is one of my few moments of quiet as she is always talking. She takes after her sister in that department for sure.


My sweet jalibird!


One of Cameron's favorite activities is opening up all the drawers. I rearranged some of the low drawers in the kitchen so she can play in them. She loves to make a mess, especially when I am washing dishes and can't stop her!


She is quite a ham. I had put her pants on her head and she had no idea they were there. She played for over 10 minutes like this.


Our sweet, pilgrim. Again had no idea anything was on her head. I find this amusing because if I put a teeny, tiny bow in her hair she rips it right out. But if I put pants or a burb cloth there she is oblivious. Such a silly girl!


She still eats baby food, but I am trying to get her to eat real foods more and more. This was her breakfast one morning. She ate it all!



Everyday I am still in awe of everything about her. Sometimes I am still in denial that she is mine and have 2 daughters. We are so blessed by both of our beautiful daughters!

Disney World!!

This summer we went to Disney World courtesy of State Farm. It was a reward trip for all of Jeremy's hard work in 2014. Sparky and Pops were going to drive over and join us for a few days and help out with Cameron. 

Our little girl is all ready for Mickey and his friends.


State Farm does all of their trips first class. They had a welcome reception for all their employees with snacks, desserts and the main characters. Of course I had to get some pictures with Cameron and the  big Minnie.

Gosh she is so adorable!!!


It was so nice to get to take pictures with the whole gang. And with no waiting at all!

Love my sweet family and sweet Mickey and Minnie.

We had a 5 day park hopper pass. But of course the first day we hit up Magic Kingdom. It was June and it was HOT. Had to get the obligatory picture on Main Street with my girls.

Such a good Daddy to get his face painted with Chandler. It was so hot and humid this day. They both only could wear the face paint for about an hour until they sweated it all off. 


Chandler was such a dare-devil and rode all the rides. She even got to have some special 1 on 1 time with Jermey one night and me the next. Both times she got to stay and close the parks down. On her night with Jeremy they rode Splash Mpuntain with stuffed Goofy. This picture cracks me up. The guy in front of Jeremy and the guy in the front row. Classic!

Cameron went with us a few days and the other days she stayed at the hotel with Sparky and Pops. Such a happy, happy girl.


Daddy with both of his girls on Main Street on our last night.
Some silly fun with Pops.


We are so lucky that Pops and Sparky could join us. Cameron was so happy to see her Pops.


Enjoying some down time in the hotel.


A little laugh from Sparky and smiles from Pops.


Nothing like grandparents and grand babies. 


We had a wonderful time and made some great family memories. Such a fun vacation!

Cameron is 9 months old!

Baby girl we can hardly believe that you are 9 months old!


Cameron had her 9 month check up. She is 19 lbs (75th%) and 28.25 inches tall ( 90th%). She is a tall, chunky girl. She is such a smart baby. She loves to make funny faces and sounds and can stick her tongue out on demand. 

She had her 1st haircut this month. Her hair was getting long in the front and she was getting a bad trump like comb-over on the top.



She did not like the haircut! Such a sad face!

This month she began army crawling and then about 2 weeks later she began crawling on her hands and knees.


She began pulling up on her crib at nap time. So Daddy had to lower the crib to the lowest setting.


And the best thing about this month is that she began saying "Mama"!  The first time she said it, it melted my heart!
