My 1st Mother’s Day

2

It’s been quite a busy month around here for us and Cam. He has had lots of exciting firsts! And we continue to keep busy with the usual… making messes at meal time, bath time, and of course lots of hiking!

This gaze will get the girls some day (minus the food on the face).

He still loves hiking, notice the smile, he now knows to smile for the camera, what a ham!

We signed him up for swim classes as soon as they’d allow him in the pool, so far only gone to two classes but he seems to enjoy it, no fussing anyways.

Rubber ducky in the pool!

He seemed pretty content in the water!

He pretty much sits up on his own, usually we just stay near to make sure he doesn’t take a face plant! The first couple times scared him but with some sidetracking with his favorite toy or a book, he easily forgets!

And sits up for a cute photo op.

Getting big, soon he'll be driving!

Cam got to ride on a plane for the first time as him and Eric tagged along for a conference of mine to Denver, Colorado. We were able to take a quick trip up to Boulder where the Rocky Mountains overlook the city and the views are breathtaking. Of course, Eric brought his camera for some nice landscape shots! We were lucky (although some would say “unlucky”) to see the Rockies covered with fresh snow, making it a true Colorado experience. The snow was gone the next day with the sun shining and temperatures in the 60’s. While the snow was falling we visited the fishies at the Denver City Aquarium as we know Cam loves fish!

I told Eric I wanted to stay home and hangout with Cam for Mother’s Day. The great husband he is made it as special as he could with the request of not going out for a meal and made lobster dinner! And of course we had to introduce Cam to the lobsters before their hot bath…

No fear!

No fear!

I had a great 1st Mother’s Day and am so happy to have Cam in my life, he is a true joy!

If only we could add sound to capture his giggles with this picture!

True Love!
