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!!!

It's beginning to feel a LOT like Christmas...

With only NINE days left, it is really feeling like Christmas. Where did this year go? It seems like only yesterday that it was last December and I was pregnant, drinking my two a day Decaf Gingerbread lattes from Starbucks....But it is almost Christmas, and we are alllmost ready. I just finished my Christmas cards, and that kicked my butt into updating this. I got on here and was appalled to realize that my last update was in September. I laughed as I read through it really quickly and saw that Cameron was alllmost crawling. Well, my little Cameron is now officially crawling. He got up on his hands and knees right around Halloween. He is crawling EVERYWHERE. He pulls himself up on everything. He used to let us walk him around the house, but he has realized that crawling is way faster, so his knees just fold and he wants to crawl. He is talking and laughing and just growing every single day. One of his newer revelations is the light. He loves looking at lights. We can walk around the house alll day long asking him where the light is, and it never gets old. He even tries to say light.

He has eight teeth. Four on top and four on bottom. He has been a little teething machine since the middle of August. They just keep coming and coming. We just went to his NINE month appointment, and he weighs just a little over 21 pounds, and he is 28 inches long. He has slowed down a little bit, but not much...It is so amazing to watch.

Well, without further adeiu, here are some recent pictures...

He was a monkey for Halloween (naturally)


And we caught Cameron dressed as a business man one day, reading the newspaper!

Cameron and Santa Claus (he actually did really well-he was not afraid of him at all!)

Well, that's it for now. Cameron, Jeff and I want to wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY HAPPY New Year! I PROMISE to get on here more often and update everyone with new pictures and news. That's one of my New Year resolutions.
