Chillin' On Saturday

Rockin' the Phillies Outfit
I think he is getting use to the camera
Had to show the "behind"
Caught Napping!!
Maya & I posing...we look GOOD!
We had no plans today, so we hung out at home. We went to the West End Fair last Sunday, which was fun. Cameron looked around & took it all in, so we thought today we would just chill out. Cameron is growing, but still does not fit into a lot of his 3-6 months clothes. He wears mostly 3 months & still fits into some 0-3 months. I needed to get him in some of these outfits(3-6 months) as they are summer outfits, and we are almost done with summer. So today was a Phillies Outfit. It was a little big, but we managed. We also managed to nap today....which Bill caught on camera!

I also was wearing my "Men In Black" t-shirt I bought at Universal Studios last summer while on vacation with my family. I had to have it b/c their was a pug on it. So Maya & I posed for pic. We looked GOOD!

12 Weeks Old--August 28, 2008

12 weeks old
Little Squirt
Adorable
Super Adorable
Look how Sweet!
I cannot believe Cameron is 12 weeks already & next week he will be 3 months. Cameron was really good for his Mommy...he was sleeping on average 9 1/2 hours a night! He is good little sleeper and I continue to pray that he keeps up this awesome schedule.

He did his 1st day at the Sitter's (Rochelle) on Tuesday. I wanted to get him there one day before he goes three days a week next week. He did well for Rochelle. He cried when I was leaving, which broke my heart, but I survived as did Cameron. Cameron will have two playmates next week at Rochelle's which I am sure he will be amazed by.

Cameron is becoming more independent already. He loves playing on the Activity Mat & soon he will be able to play in his Activity Center. He giggles & laughs a lot, and when you talk to him he is starting to "baby gibber" back to you. It is so cute. He really is fascinated by the sign language still. I really think he knows Mommy, All done & Puppy. I am looking forward to the 1st time he signs back to me...I am sure I will cry! Shocker!

My Little Man

Looking Super Cute
His Close-Up
I seriously cannot stand how CUTE he is!
Already trying to show some skin!
I was off from work on Wednesday, so I got to spend the day with my little man. It was a tad chilly, so I put long sleeves on Cameron to go do our errands. I love dressing Cameron like a little man, not a baby. I know he is a baby, but I love how he looks in certain outfits. This cute Gap shirt was a gift & I thought it was SUPER cute, so I snapped a few shots. Of course, I do dress him like a baby often which is why I love taking these pics of him!

Fantasy Football

Cameron @ his 1st Draft helping Sue & Skip
Cousin Brandon & Cameron
Every year, Bill has a Fantasy Football Draft in person at our house. It all started when we still lived in Weissport. It has evolved a great deal since then, but this is the only draft he has in person. The other is all done on line. The name of the league is the David H. Snyder League. This is in honor of Bill's late grandfather (also Cameron's middle name). It gives us a chance to get together with everyone & have a good time for a few hours. We even got my nephew Brandon involved. He has done quite well. He has always drafted himself & we are always impressed! Our friends Sue & Skip are in the league (Sue is the Owner & Skip is the GM). He drafts for her, then if she loses, she can blame him. It is a nice set up actually. Bill's dad, sister & cousin are in the league along with other friends of Bill's.

So it was Cameron's 1st Fantasy Draft...he slept mostly, but we all enjoyed his company. I even got my nephew Brandon (who does not do babies), to hold Cameron for a photo op! Yeah Brandon!!!

Lauren: Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos! I love them & you!!!

11 Weeks Old--August 21, 2008

11 Weeks Old
We are still taking pics mom...seriously!
Maya loving Cameron
Maya, Cameron & Belle
It is that time again...Cameron has turned another week older. 11 weeks!!! He gets cuter everyday I swear. I know people will say I am biased, but really, he is so cute!!! He is becoming quite the nosey little boy. He fights sleep...I mean really fights sleep. He takes at most 4-5 hours worth of naps during a day. Mostly he is averaging 3-4 hours a day. The best part of all this, Cameron sleeps at night. He has gone from 7-8 hours to 8-9 hours a night. Sometimes even 10 hours! I was quite surprised the 1st time that happened! He has done that 2-3 times now. I know I am extremely lucky! I know I mentioned before that Cameron & I say our prayers every night before bed. God has really answered my prayers & has blessed me tremendously. Cameron is the best gift God has ever given me. I love Cameron so & I thank God every single night for him.

Cameron is very alert & at most times a content baby. He is trying his darnest to get that thumb in his mouth, which I am hoping he will never find! He has been doing really well at my Mom & Dad's house. I know they love that special one-one time with Cameron. Thank you Mom & Dad for taking such wonderful care of my little one! I know he loves you so!!!

Next week he will be at Rochelle's (my sister-in-law Rhonda..this is her sister) one day. She will have no other kids so she will get to spend her one-one time with Cameron. This way she can get to know Cameron & Cameron can get to know her. The week of Labor Day he starts 3 days week.

I also took today to get the girls picture with Cameron again! Belle was reluctant, but she sat on the couch for one photo. Just wait until Cameron can crawl & he starts chasing Belle!!!

Off to College

My mom had family over yesterday as three of my nieces (Lauren, Ashton & Brianna) are all heading off to college. Brianna & Ashton for their 1st year & Lauren for her 2nd. Lauren is headed back to DC to attend her 2nd year at Trinity College. Ashton will be starting at Penn State Berks & Brianna will be attending Wilkes University. We are very proud of them all. Yesterday also marked the 1st time Aunt Robin held Cameron. Of course, pictures were a must!

To my nieces Lauren, Ashton & Brianna: I wish you much success at college this year. Study hard & make GREAT friends that will last a lifetime!! Don't forget to have fun! I am SUPER proud of all you & love you all much!
