Visiting with Mamaw and Papaw and FUN in the swing!

Mamaw and Papaw came in from Virginia yesterday.  Cameron hasn't seen them for a little while, so he was very excited!  

Telling Nola all about it, while getting ready for their arrival.

We went out for some pizza when Mamaw and Papaw arrived.  Cameron was very good in the restaurant...as long as he was facing the TV.  

Sounds like a baby-Edwards.

Very intrigued while Papaw was "eating his tummy".

Mamaw's so funny!

Cameron had such a fun time with Mamaw and Papaw and can't wait to see them again soon!

Rockin' out as the 5th Beatle!

When Cameron was a newborn he slept in the glider which rocked right to left, as opposed to up and down.  His swing rocks up and down and he's never really been a huge fan.  I've put him in it from time to time and he has fun IF he's in the mood.  He was sleepy this afternoon, but not interested in sleeping in his crib, so I put him in the swing, hoping that he would fall asleep in it.  Quite the contrary!  He became a little wild man and had the best time in it!

1st St. Patrick's Day and visit with Grammy

This past week was Cameron's first St. Patrick's Day!  Of course this little Irishman had a full day of festivities planned, including several wardrobe changes. 

Starting his day, hanging in the bumbo seat.

After relaxing in the morning, Cameron had his first play date!  My friend Laura has a precious little cutie named Oliver, who is 14 months old, and Cameron and I went over to Laura's for our first date.  I would have to say that Oliver did most of the playing, while Cameron did most of the napping.  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures, but we had a great time and look forward to visiting again!

After his nap, Cameron changed into his second St. Patrick's Day outfit.  

I'm pretty certain he got TONS of kisses that day!

Later that afternoon, Grammy arrived for a visit. 

Listening intently to Grammy's story!..."You don't say?!"

Grampy-G got Cameron the cutest little rattle booties.  They have animals on the front of them and make noise when Cameron shakes his feet. 
"Hmmm, what are these things?"

"I think it would be best if I get a closer look..."

While Grammy was here, Cameron showed her all of his new tricks!

Sitting like a big boy!...and watching TV.

Most impressive, Cameron is just starting to learn how to roll over.  

He has no tolerance for Tummy Time so we practice rolling over like this...

This Momma knows her pumpkin is quite advanced!  :)

Visit from Granddad and Grandmom

Dad and Donna came up a few days ago to watch Cameron while I had a few things to do around the house.  He had a great time and I appreciated the help!

Exhausted after all that standing!  Time for some snuggling with Granddad.

Fun New Sound

Cameron taught himself a new sound a few days ago.  He has a crazy shriek that sounds like an animal call!  It's funny because it's not an angry yell, rather just a fun new noise that he learned.  We're hoping this remains an "at-home" noise, and that he doesn't try out his new sound in public.  

Fun Weekend

Weekends are now quite different then they used to be before Cameron was born.  We mostly spend them catching up on a thousand chores and having low key fun together at home.  On Friday night we just hung out and had a nice time together.

Grammy just got Cameron some precious new summer gear.  He made quite a surprised face when he tried on his new crab sunhat.

Sweet face

Resting with Daddy

This morning, Cameron finally got to meet my friend Sara.  

He had some fun, smiling and showing her how big he is!

Coffee date

On Friday, Cameron and I had a coffee date with my friends, Sarah, Heather, and Jeanine.  He has been on a few outings, but each time I get so nervous since I'm never quite sure how he's going to do out in public.  We were gone for nearly 2 hours and he was a perfect little gentleman.  He had a great time with his lady friends.  He played on everyone's lap and enjoyed reading the adorable book Jeanine got him about animal tails.  I had such a great time catching up with my friends and Cameron enjoyed his first coffee date!

Kissing Cameron

Cameron is now learning to give kisses.  They basically consist of just a big gaping open mouth on your cheek, but I'll take it!  

Other week 13 pics...

Mom just got Cameron some adorable summer gear, so he'll be all set for the beach in a few months.  A few swim trunks, tops, a big sun hat, and best of all...his first pair of sunglasses! Yes, he's wearing them indoors.  After all, the sun never goes down when you're cool.

It is incredible how well Cameron bares weight on his legs for being just 3 months old.  He'll be standing on his own in no time.  

Eating his burp cloth...  Who needs toys?  He's completely content just playing with cloth.

 Beautiful baby boy.

Josh finally received his diploma this week!  

What a great feeling after 2.5 long years of hard work.
