Summer Wrap-up!

4

Time flies when you’re having fun, and this summer sure has flown by!

We’ve been keeping busy with all sorts of things, but mostly chasing Cam around. He is a pro at crawling now and loves getting into trouble.

We were able to make it out on the boat a few times this year, the first was a little rough, but now he doesn’t seem to mind his life jacket, he even lets us do other goofy things to keep him safe!

Cool sunglasses!

One hot summery day we went to Davis’ Farm Land, its this great place in Sterling that has all sorts of animals to interact with, they also have a water park area for kids. The purpose of our trip was to find a new way of keeping cool during the summer heat waves. But as we were walking in Cam couldn’t help but notice all the goats running around, he started laughing at them as we were walking by, of course we had to visit with them after we cooled off.

Camron also has had a few dates now! We had one of our friends and her daughter who is a few months older than Cam over for dinner one night. The two of them hit it off!

Besides all the young ladies, Cam’s best buddy is Rusty. Cam crawls back and forth over him and Rusty just lays there, sometimes lifting his head to give Cam a kiss. Cam also has been snuggling things, Rusty in particular!

Its hard to believe that August is almost over, this summer really has gone by fast and we are completely booked for the next several weekends too, one of which Cam gets to be the ring bearer in our good friends wedding. I’m sure we will have lots of pictures of him looking cute in his little suit. But until then, here are a few of him being a little monster!

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!

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.

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!

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!
