What's Going to Happen?

Cameron is doing and saying some of the funniest things lately! I write them down in a journal/baby book, but I thought some others might be interested too!

• Cameron HATED wearing anything on his head until about a month ago. Somehow, I convinced him that if he wore a hat, the sun would stay out of his eyes. This did the trick, and now almost every day for an entire month, he has worn a hat. This includes his CSU Ram hat, his Disney Squirt hat and a silly straw hat. He loves wearing them so much, he even wore the hat to take a nap in the other day. He will wear it backwards or forwards and it is so cute. He loves it so much that he even had to wear it to his uncle and (now) auntie's wedding rehearsal. I was terrified I wasn't going to get him down the aisle on wedding day without wearing one.

• When Cameron and I get home from work/school/daycare everyday, we walk in and immediately let the dogs out to go potty. Apparently, I was calling Macy "Honey" a lot. One day, we walk in and Cameron says, "Go outside Honey!" For the rest of the day he called Macy Honey and he still does it occasionally.
  
• He is TALL and has BIG feet. He almost wears a size 9 in shoes and on his 2nd Birthday he was 36 inches tall!
• Cameron growls, screams, hoots, hollers, etc. Whatever noise an animal makes, Cameron likes to pretend he is that animal too and will make the noises.
  
• He loves to play outside. One of his favorite weekend pastimes is picking up dog poo with his Daddy. Rian and I are not sure where he got that from, because neither of us like to pick up dog poo.

• He loves going to the zoo which is great because Rian's parents got us a membership for Cameron's birthday. We have it really timed out well so that we get to see the seal show and then go watch the Lions eat their lunch. Cameron grows at them to try to get their attention.

• He loves babies. He loves to see real babies, he loves to play with his baby doll, he loves anything that has to do with him. His latest thing is getting his baby doll "Baby Kearney" and putting it to sleep on the pillow and covering it up with a KiKi so it doesn't get cold. He also thinks it is too funny when Rian or I cuddle with Baby Kearney.

• Cameron likes to dance! When he hears a beat he likes, he either starts jumping around or dancing. One of his and Daddy's favorite songs to dance to is Memories by David Guetta. This happened last night. The song came on, Cameron yelled "Yay!" and then said, "Shake your butt Mommy!" So cute.
• If we are watching Cars or Princess and the Frog for the 5 millionth time, Cameron will walk up to you and breathlessly whisper "What's going to happen?"
• My little dude still loves to cuddle with his Mommy and Daddy. You can tell when he is getting tired, because sometimes he will just come up to you with KiKi and sit in your lap, or he will ask. Or, he will ask if you want to lay down on the couch or in bed with him. It is very hard to say no to a little guy asking to cuddle with his Mommy or Daddy.

• He sings along with us! He knows a few songs, so he tries to sing along with us. There is nothing more precious than hearing a little, sweet voice coming out of the backseat singing the "Elephant Song" with us.
  

Weiner Dog Festival

The really cool thing about Canon City (where Rian is from) is that over the summer they have tons of festival type things. We went to one in June called the "Smoke Out Festival." I like to refer to it as The Weiner Dog Festival though because the best part of the whole weekend is the weiner dog races and costume contest!

We got to take my nephew Noah with us and even though it rained the ENTIRE time, we had a blast! Our main goal was to wear the HECK out of our two little boys and judging by the pictorial evidence, I think it worked! Check out the pictures.

On our way to Canon, wearing matching sunglasses and CSU Rams jerseys!
Yep, they have matching rain coats!

Getting ready to bounce on the very wet bounce house.

Touch the sky!

Eating hot dogs on a stick. Big hit for the night.

Look at those curls from all the rain and humidity!

Noah always trying to make people smile and laugh.

Back home and ready to get in the hot tub. Must get some good piano playing in first.

Cameron and Noah shared an air mattress bed that night. Out like lights within 5 minutes or less!

The next morning, out on a nature walk with Daddy and Papa John.

Starting to get tired, cuddling with Nana.

On our way home, we made it 10 minutes out of Canon when I took this picture.

My Baby is 2!

I totally understand I am behind. I have had a busy summer.

Cameron turned 2 on June 28th this year and we had a BLAST!

Rian and I took Cameron to the Denver Aquarium late morning.

He loved looking at the "Nemo" fish, but the biggest hit of the day was definitely the sharks!

We then came home and took a little nap before the "big party" that night. The party consisted of going to my parents house and opening presents.

Eating spaghetti (Cameron requested sketti)

Then going on a long golf cart ride with Noah and the balloons!
After the golf cart rides, we had birthday cake. (Noah got a little jealous of the singing and candles, so we lit him some candles and sang "For he's a jolly good fellow." It was perfect. I recommend that to anyone who is having a birthday party with other little kids present!)

Then we ran through the sprinklers with no pants on!
Is there any better way to spend your 2nd Birthday? No way, this was the best!
