I am so lucky!

I really really am!

some days I get kinda down and can't see the blue sky, but I am trying to look around and see just how lucky, and blessed I am...

I have a husband who loves me and does his best to take care of me, even putting up with me when I am cranky and stressed. (which has been a lot lately) Who kisses me goodbye every morning, hello when he comes home and goodnight every night. Who teases me until he sees me smile... or until I punch him whichever mood I am in.

I have a beautiful baby boy who loves me and will run up and give me hugs for no reason (not when I ask for one of course). Who, if I am sitting on the floor, will stand in front of me facing the other way, then back up until he plops down into my lap. Who brings me books to read him and loves it when we run and play outside. Who teaches me just how fun life can be. Who loves to cuddle on the couch and watch part of a movie with me.

I have a gorgeous home. It has running water, heating, cooling, electricity. It takes care of our needs and looks good while doing it. Is it a little crowded when we have a party? yes. Is the backyard just plain old dirt? yes. Does it still have nothing on the walls and need a little more furniture? yes. But that's okay, it's great and we are so blessed.


I have a wonderful family surrounding me from both sides. That have supported us and helped through a lot. Who are all really fun whenever we have get togethers.


I have great friends who are there for me more me more than I know. When I have called some of them for help, they are there doing whatever they can.

Yep, I am pretty lucky! and blessed! and grateful!

More funnies!

He does the funny face thing Alex does from Madagascar 2! Where you move your hand over your face and change it from smile to frown. Except he holds his hand off to the side with open fingers and forgets to change his face.

He says WALL*E but it sounds like Wah*E.

When we go shopping he grabs clothes off the rack and says pretty. (pri-e) And he says pretty when I try something on too!

He loves to dance. Whenever he hears music with a good beat he moves his head, then shakes his fists, then twirls around. Also when he watches Madagascar 2 he follows Alex's moves.

When Pete honked his horn at a car Cameron said UH-OH!

My funny little man Cameron!

He says Moooo! When he sees cows, or horses that are spotted like cows, or brown horses, or sheep. And I have asked around to find out who taught him that cows say moo and I just can't figure it out.


When he sees a dog, he'll scream DOG!!!!! then "ruff... ruff!"

Ah-nah! When he sees airplanes, helicopter, hot air balloon, birds, an airplane trail or lights or stars at night. But he is getting better at knowing when they are birds vs. airplanes.

He has conversations on his play cell phone when we drive in the car. They go like this. Hi-yo (hello) uh-huh... uh-huh... then baby talk that sounds like a story... okay... bye.

He screams "Who's there!" when someone comes to the door or he hears anything that sounds like a knock. Which makes it a little harder to pretend we aren't there when we don't feel like answering it. The other day I picked him up at my friend Amy's house and I knocked in case he was asleep... I heard him on the other side WHO'S THERE!!!!!! then he came up to the door and knocked... who's there? It melted my heart.


He picks up the remote and just points it at the tv when he wants to turn it on and can't figure out that you have to push the button.

He pulls up his shirt and point to his belly button and says "be-be" or sometimes "bu-bu". He also pulls up Daddy's shirt and points out his belly button. We haven't taught him yet that Momma has one because I don't want to have to explain myself in church or somewhere when he pulls up my shirt and says BU-BE!, BU-BE!

He has a Little People man that has a tiny cell phone in his hands and he picks it up and talks on the "phone"

The photo shoot

It was incredible...
It took three of us. Cameron was running back and forth on the little booth they have set up for pictures. He would run and just plaster against one wall, pick back up, turn around, play peek-a-boo behind the extra backgrounds, run to the other side knock on the wall "Who's there?" I had to pick him up throw him in the air a few times place him down in the designate spot, jump back really fast while one lady danced around in the background with toys and another took the picture.
After we were finished one of them said I have heard stories of children like this but I've never seen one. Then I told her one- she's lucky he was in a good mood that day, and two- he's like this from the minute he wakes up until he goes to bed.

Was it all worth it? Yeah.

We had such a great day that day. I took a day off just to be with him. Once Cameron realized I was going to stay with him he was so happy the entire day. We played and went to get his pictures, shopped at the mall, saw the puppies, came home, he had a nap, then we played the rest of the afternoon and went to the park!
