Manners

We try to teach Cameron manners, but he's still pretty young to get the concept.

Elbows on the table is one thing...but feet?!?! Could you tell this face no? I can't. He does this everytime he eats at a table. What a silly boy.


There is also never any privacy for a shower for either Matt or me these days. If Cameron knows we are showering, he comes right into the bathroom to join us. I love this boy!

Summer Fun!

I've been trying to take Cameron out somewhere most everyday, just to give us something to do besides sit in the stuffy apartment in this heat. We've gone to the park, the planetarium, the pool, the zoo, a work party, and lots of other things. I love summer because there is so much to do everywhere. Cam is at such a fun age too. I love to watch him take in everything around him wherever we go and see his excitement when he finds something new he likes!

And, in case you were wondering, Matt and I do occasionally enjoy our own Summer fun without this little fellow. This last weekend, Matt's parents babysat to let us go to a movie and dinner. We went to Joe's crab shack and had crab legs, a first for both of us. It was lots of fun, and very very messy!

A Trip to the Zoo

Last week, Cameron and I went to the Zoo with my Mom, and my 2 sisters-in-law and their kids. Cameron did not seem to be impressed by the animals much. I guess he is still kind of young to care. Maybe next year?

His favorite thing to do the whole day was to play on the water globe near the entrance. In fact...I think that may have been all the kids favorite part! He kept putting his head on the globe, which is why his hair is all wet. He could have stayed there all day!

4th of July

Don't you love that in Utah, when the 4th of July falls on a Sunday, we get to celebrate the whole entire weekend? I do!

We had a great 4th. On Saturday we went to see the Bountiful fireworks with our friends Jen and Aaron. The actual 4th was spent at church, and afterwards we took a little family outing to the park and had lots of fun. Cameron loved the little stream to wade in, and the swings.

On the 5th, Matt didn't have to go to work or school, but unfortunately had so much homework that he couldn't do anything anyway:(
Cam and I went down to my parents and went on a hike with them and my brother Justin and his family. We went up to Donut Falls. Cameron was not a big fan of the hike, but really liked the waterfall. After, we went back to my parents for a delicious barbeque. Cameron sat in his high chair and we couldn't believe how much he ate, and ate, and ate. In fact, he had food stuffed into his cheeks, but just kept loading it into his mouth. He was so messy afterwards that I set him down on the grass and let Brett's dog, Missy, clean him up a little. Gross I know, but it was funny. And don't worry...he had a bath after.
Waiting for the fireworks!

Happy Birthday and First Haircut

My birthday yesterday was awesome. I woke up to Matt who gave me one of the seasons of the Cosby Show (which I LOVE) on dvd. He had also set up a scavenger hunt around our apartment for me to find a bunch of smaller gifts, mostly my favorite treats. He spent the night before writing short little poems with the clues, and they were so funny!

"I guess you could say this is where in our home we keep the nuts (I found corn nuts under Cam's crib). I commend you because that took a lot of guts. Be careful with the next gift or you'll get lots of cuts (under the knife block)."

It was a fun way to start the morning. He then went off to school while I got Cam and myself ready, and then he came home to take me to breakfast!

After that I went down to my Mom's, who took me shopping pretty much all day. It was so fun to spend the day with her, and I got some awesome clothes and delicious lunch. I finished off with dinner over at my parents and then headed home to relax and watch a movie. Thanks to everybody, especially Matt and my mother dear, for making it such a special day!

On another note, everybody LOVES Cameron's hair. Since the day he was born, people have always talked about his hair wherever we go. It is full, beautifully blond, soft and just perfect. The nurses at our doctor's office say he looks like a hair model. Anyway, as sad as it makes me, we knew the day would come that he would require a haircut. He was starting to look kind of raggedy, so my Mom was nice enough to give him a quick buzz. He was so good the whole time and he looks so cute (at least I think so). He almost looks like a different baby with his hair shorter, but never fear folks...it will grow back!
