Elmo, Ipods, and the Cat in the Hat.....good times....

Cameron is officially taking part in pop culture. He LOVES Elmo!




Cameron loves listening to Jeff's ipod when we take him on walks. He falls asleep to the music very often. Do you think he is taking after his dad??



And in honor of Dr Seuss' birthday a couple weeks ago, we went to story time at the mall where they read Dr Seuss books, and Cameron got to meet the Cat in the Hat and Thing 2.

What's for breakfast Mom???

Mom, don't just look at me....make me some breakfast!!!


How about you add some mustard to that?? Sounds good to me!


Grandma, Mommy is taking forever to make me something to eat...


Could I please speak with a manager?

Well, Cameron had an eventful birthday! We had his playgroup buddies over for a playdate/birthday party on Thursday. That was a lot of fun. Cameron got to blow out a candle on his cupcake. Here are a couple of pictures from that day:












Do you notice how all of his buddies are sitting still (for the most part) and Cameron is trying to get off of the couch?!?


And then his birthday party was Sunday. It was supposed to be an outdoors BBQ-but the weather was pretty bad. It looked like it was going to rain, but it didn't. The party got moved indoors. All year, Cameron NEVER once ran a fever. But of course, the night before his party, he has a (low-grade) fever. It carried into Sunday, and he slept through most of his party. He perked up towards the end-just in time for his very own first birthday cake (of course). Here are a couple pictures from that day:

Cameron LOVES spaghetti! And he just can't get enough of it!

We gave Cameron spaghetti for the very first time the Friday night before his first birthday. MAN, did he LOVE it!!!!! We decided to just go for it. He was in only his diaper for a precaution. Daddy cooked up some yummy pasgetti, and we just dumped it onto his highchair tray and let him have at it. It was EVERYWHERE! It was all over him, all over his highchair-and believe it or not, he actually got a lot of it in his mouth and in his belly. It was so much fun for all of us. He had a very much needed bath afterwards. Here are some pictures of the event...Enjoy!!!

CaMeRoN iS OnE YeaR oLd!!!!!

So, Cameron turned the BIG 0-1 yesterday !!!!!




More to come later!!!

(almost) a year in the life of Cameron Joseph Walker

In NINE days, Cameron will be ONE year old! I cannot believe how fast time has gone by. As cliche as it sounds, it seriously seems like only yesterday that I was pregnant with him, or still in the hospital with him, or at home in the very beginning with him-desperately trying to figure out how to take care of this little person. I cannot believe he is going to be a year old already. What an amazing journey it has been to watch him grow and change. I had absolutely no idea how much work, but especially how much joy and fun it would be.

I decided when Cameron was first born that I wanted to get pictures taken of him every month during his first year. I knew it would be an expensive commitment, but I also knew that during his first year, he was going to change by leaps and bounds from day to day, week to week, and month by month. So every month, we got to the mall and took pictures. The photographers at the photo place eventually remembered us, and all thought Cameron was so cute and so fun to take pictures of. I will be going next week to get his one year pictures taken, and it will be bittersweet to think that we won't be getting monthly pictures taken. It will be nice not to spend the money though!

So I thought, what better way to celebrate his birthday than to reflect back on the last year....So bear with me, this will be a long one, but here is the year in the life of Cameron Joseph Walker.......enjoy! And check back in a couple of weeks for his one year pictures-they are sure to be a lot of fun!!!
