Happy 1st Birthday Cameron!

Our little boy is 1 today! I cannot believe how fast the past year has flown by and how much I have loved and learned in that time. We had Cameron's birthday party Saturday and it was a blast! We had a ton of people at our house to celebrate this special milestone. My mom's co-worker and friend, Connie, and her husband brought their three ponies for the kids to ride on. They were a hit. Cameron liked the ponies and we got to take a ride on a cart pulled by a pony.


The theme of the party was frogs and Cameron had a special birthday cake that he loved!



It was nerve-wracking hosting a 1-year-old's birthday party but everything went great. Cameron enjoyed playing in his new sandbox with his cousin Addy and the other kids. We had lots of family and friends come from out of town and it was nice to see everyone. Cameron also received many gifts that have overtaken our house. We can't thank everyone enough for attending the party and making Cameron so happy.


Earlier this month, Cameron and I traveled to Greencastle for a playdate with two of my old co-workers and their boys Andrew and Blake. Cameron had so much fun playing with his friends and it was great to catch up with mine! The boys played together nice and hopefully we will be able to get together again soon!



For Father's day, Cory, Cameron, and I went to my parent's house for lunch. Cameron had his first cheeseburger and loved it. Afterwards, we went to Marilyn's house to go swimming. Cam loves the pool and splashing. He kept trying to drink the water and would get flustered when he dipped his head in the water. It was funny to watch. Cameron got his daddy tickets to the White Sox/Cubs game this weekend at US Cellular field for Father's Day. We are super excited to get out of town for a weekend and take Cameron to his first baseball game! We will be traveling to Cory's brothers house and staying Friday night so we can visit with Derek, Tonya, Adalyn, and his Cam's new baby cousin Carter! Then we will continue on the Chicago for the game.


Cameron is learning or doing something new everyday. He is very close to walking on his own. He has taken one step but still hasn't gotten the courage to take those first few steps. He loves clapping for himself and playing on his new drumset! Papaw Jerry also built Cameron a playset and Cam loves to go in his swing. He has a few words down. Dada is the favorite but he also says Ma, Og (Dog), Hi/Hey, and Bye Bye (sometimes). My absolute favorite thing he does is give hugs and kisses. Everyday when I get home from work he will crawl up me, wrap his arms around my neck, and give me a kiss. It is by far the best part of my day!

Since Cory is home all summer with Cam, I signed them up for a Kindermusik class. They have been two times and Cory says that Cameron really enjoys it! I am hoping to sign him up again for a fall class so I can attend with him. Cam loves anything that has to do with music, dancing, or making sound.

We cannot wait to continue to watch Cameron grow over the next year and will definitely keep everyone updated on his growth and development.

We are officially the parents of a toddler!!!
