Welcome!

I decided to finally sit down and start a blog about Cameron's and my adventures.
Cameron Jacob was born Jan 13, 2010 at 8:56PM in Manhattan KS.  We moved back to my hometown shortly after. (like, as soon as I was discharged from the hospital)

Cameron got to meet both of my great grandmothers that I knew and grew up visiting.

Cameron with Great-Great Grandma Florence Guison.  She passed away a month or two after Cameron met her.

We have had quite a few adventures so far in these short 10 months.  We've gone to Western Kansas to meet the Palmer side of the family.  We've gone to Omaha to visit and ended up in Iowa.  We're living on our own now instead of with Cameron's grandma and grandpa.  Cameron got to see grandma graduate from college and go to NASA for a workshop during the summer.  Cameron is a "big cousin" to Ben, who is mommy's older brother's son.

Cameron is known by the following names:  Cameron, CJ (short for Cameron Jacob, because there are 4 Cameron's at his day care... who'd have thought!), Boo Boo, Bubba, Goobie, and Monster (because he growls).

At his most recent doctor's visit (this past week) he weighed 20.8 pounds, and is 27.25 inches long.  He is growing very well on the charts.  He is sitting up, pulling himself up to a stand, and is able to "fall" without face planting.  He has a good army crawl. 

Some of Cameron's favorite things are getting on Skype with "Na Na" (pronounced nah nah), squealing at Lance (grandma and grandpa's dog who is living with us right now), pulling himself up on anything and everything, and "riding the pony" (bouncing on mom's leg).  He likes to eat cereal puffs, cheerios, mashed potatoes, and his favorite baby food is Beech Nut's "Chicken veggies and stars".  We are working on going from a bottle all the time to drinking out of a sippy cup and a big boy cup.  He loves to play with his friends at day care, and when we see them out and about, the kids are so excited to see each other.


This is the most recent video of Cameron.  We were at my friend's house and Cameron was playing with a balloon.  He got so excited that he couldn't hold himself up anymore.
