We've got a sucker!

Neither Cameron nor Haley ever sucked their thumbs (or anything for that matter.) Chase is so different. Since birth he has been content sucking his fingers, hands, arms, thumb, other people's chests, etc... It is so cute. (Don't worry - I know thumb sucking is a bad habit and I don't intend to let him continue.)

No more training wheels!

Make a Smilebox slideshow

BJ took off Cameron's training wheels and with just a little bit of coaxing and practice he did just fine. He wasn't sure he could do it and he liked the safety of the training wheels. But he quickly overcame his fear and now he is SO PROUD of himself. (9/4/09)

Cameron gives a bath

Cameron loves to play with Chase and he also likes to take his picture (really close up!)  It's fun for me to put the pictures from my camera on my computer because there are always some he has taken!  :)  This Winnie the Pooh Couch has been super fun for the kids.  They use it as their 'bath tub.'  Right now, Cameron is giving Chase a bath.  :)  (Photos from 8/31/09)

Noisy sleeper - off to your own room!

Chase is a FANTASTIC sleeper, but he's quite noisy.  He moans, groans, grunts, smacks, slurps, squeals, talks, etc...  Up until now (8/28/09) he was sleeping in a bassinet in our room.  He was constantly waking me up with his noises so even though HE was sleeping, I was not.  That didn't really work out well for me so I did what every good mom would do...I gave him the BOOT out of our room!  Ever since about two-three weeks old he has slept from about 10pm to 3 or 4am.  It is AWESOME!  And even when he wakes up he is so patient while we change him and get the bottle ready.  He may be the BEST baby I've ever been around.  We are so blessed.  (And yes, that is a black marker spot on his sheet.  I  hadn't decided on his bedding yet so he is using hand me down sheets.  Haley thought it would be fun to color her sheet one night with a dry erase marker...it didn't erase!)  :)

A Purpleicious Party

Our friend Chloe turned one and was having a Purpleicious Party.  We made custom shirts for her party and I must say - we were a HIT!  It was really fun.  Even Chase had a matching shirt.  They had a couple ball pits set up for the kids and Cameron & Haley loved playing in them.  We used to have one at home but it popped, so it was fun for them to play in one again.  Thanks, Chloe, for inviting us to your awesome purpleicious party.  

School Open House

Open House at Cameron's school was fun to go to.  I was so excited to meet the teacher and see his classroom.  He was even more excited to show us everything.  Mommyhood just gets better and better!  (Pics from 8/27/09)

Excited about homework

The first week of school Cameron didn't have any homework so I had him practice writing his name using lower case letters.  He was so excited to be doing his 'homework.'  Of course, Haley had to do some too.  We'll see how long this excitement lasts.  (Pics from 8/26/09)

Catching Up

Ok - so it's been a while since I've blogged.  I was waiting because I was trying to do everything chronologically.  I have since realized that doesn't work for me because I get hung up on one event and then nothing else gets blogged.  So here we go - there will hopefully be lots of new blogs today and they'll be in NO order whatsoever.  So sit back and enjoy the ride!
