splish splash

It’s still a little too cool to take out a pool in St. Louis, but perfect weather for a water table. We brought it out Mother’s Day weekend and Cam was occupied for awhile.

Even Pip enjoyed some time outside. But he made sure to stay out of the splash zone.

We’re looking forward to more days in the sun!

week 32

Does Cam know what’s coming?

This time we were only able to fit it into our morning routine, so enjoy my lovely wet hair!

mother’s day celebration

We celebrated Mother’s Day at school last Friday with a tea party. Cam’s teachers put on a nice event, and Cam gave me a cute tote bag he decorated along with a photo of him. There was also this cute place mat.

And for my favorite item, Cameron answered a couple of questions the way he thought I would answer them. You can see that he knows me very well. And that I like short skirts.

A big thank you to his teachers for putting on such a special event.

show of hands

Last year I got several pieces of art from Cameron that involved using his hands to make photos. They were all so cute and creative that I wanted to share them here.

I love getting artwork from school, and love seeing how creative the teachers are with the kids.

31 weeks

What? I’m managing to post on time? Preposterous. 

Yup, Cameron is shocked we’re already into single digit weeks!

Firecracker is still breech. I have felt it try to turn around but it only makes it halfway and then returns to being upright. And that’s okay. I spent time and effort last time trying to get Pumpkin/Cameron to turn around only to find out his cord was wrapped around his neck leaving me feeling very selfish for trying to make the pregnancy go my way. This time, what happens will happen and I’m just along for the ride.

weeks 29 & 30

These weeks are more about Cam’s smile than my belly. He’s honing his performing skills for use in front of cameras.

Week 29 was definitely chosen for Cam’s smile, not mine. Is this what they mean by making sacrifices for your child?

And for the sake of comparison, here is week 30 with Pumpkin/Cameron.

Pretty similar, but the overwhelming guess is Cam will soon have a baby sister. In ten weeks!!!

easter fun

Cam learned about Easter at school and could not wait for the Easter Bunny to come visit him at home. In preparation, we dyed eggs with my cousin Nichole and her husband Steven during their visit.

We had to work on not splashing, but were very excited by all the colors.

Our Easter Bunny dropped off his basket in the morning, and returned later to hide eggs. He was very nice and considerate that way.

Pip was interested in the eggs too. Maybe it was the chocolate smell?

Notice the PJs? Cam wasn’t feeling too well on Easter, so we stayed in our jammies all day. He prefers it that way, since getting dressed interrupts at least five minutes of play and sometimes little boys don’t have time for interruptions. Especially on holidays that involve gifts.
