Halloween 2009

For Halloween my cute little boys turned into wild animals! The picture with Joel is from our ward Trunk or Treat. All of the others are from Halloween night. Lily and JoJo Rice came over to Trick or Treat, (they're the mustard and ketchup : )). I took a stab at painting Christopher's face, and was pretty pleased with how it turned out. Christopher LOVES to Trick or Treat! He had a lot of fun. Cameron only went out for a little while, and wasn't crazy about his hood, but did great!

Fall Fun 2009

We had a lot of fun this Fall. First, Christopher got to go to the circus on a field trip with Rangeview High School (where Mitchell is a Senior and Shauna works). Shauna needed me to substitute to be able to go, and we had a little baby-sitting issue, so this is how we solved it, and he had a blast! He especially loved riding on the big yellow school bus! And of course, the cotton candy!
For some Fall Festivities, we visited Nick's Garden Center where we picked out pumpkins (cuz the ones Papa and Christopher grew this year got stolen off of our porch!) and played a little bit. We also visited Anderson Farms up in Erie, where Christopher got to "drive" a little barrel car, see a real pumpkin patch, and corn maze, and do some other fun activities, like feeding cows. Love Fall!

Cameron at 2 months

Cameron's 2-month Doctor visit was October 13th. He weighed 11lbs 4 ounces (25th percentile), height was 22" (also 25th percentile) and his head circumference was 40 (50% percentile). He has some rough patches of skin and cradle cap lately, but hopefully that's all temporary. He just started to roll (I haven't actually seen this firsthand yet, just the evidence when I had him laying on the couch and came back to find him.....not where I left him : )) He sleeps 8-10 hours at night (yes, we're lucky : )) and then takes a couple of naps in the morning, but is up most of the afternoon and evening. He eats every 3 hours besides that nice stretch at night. Love, love LOVE him! : )

SOOO behind......

Sorry! I'm mostly apologizing to myself, because I really want to keep better records, but it has been a while and I know everyone has been asking about more recent pictures too. So, I will post some and catch up on Halloween and such!

First, some funny quotes from Christopher:

Overheard while putting together a photo book in the next room (Cameron was in his little swing and Christopher was "watching" him and a little TV): "Cameron, mommy and daddy told me there was a baby in mommy's tummy, and I wanted a brother, so I got you! I'm your big brother. I only want brothers, no baby sisters!" (this went on for a while, but this is the general idea).

"Papa, get your butt over here!" (this was said very forcefully because he wanted help playing games on Papa's cell phone)

"My name is CHRISTOPHERD" (because his name isn't long enough, apparently....)

"I LIKE to see Grammy naked!" (once when we were trying to keep him out of my parents' room so my mom could change)
