It's finally feeling like the holidays!

It's time to get into the Christmas Spirit in the Freihaut household! We are planning on putting up our Christmas tree this evening. While I can't wait for the tree to go up, I can definitely wait for Cameron's recent path of destruction to take it down! This past week we broke out the Christmas books to get Cam excited about the holidays! His favorite book by far is the one Grandpa and Grandma O'Brien and Aunt Whitney gave him last year of them reading him 'The Night Before Christmas'. He loves hearing them read to him through the book. Whenever he hears my dad's voice reading her says "Nana" and looks at the door thinking he is here. No matter how hard my dad has tried to teach Cam papaw.. he is just plain Nana to Cam! It is pretty funny.

Last Saturday, Cameron and I went to my mom's house for our annual Christmas Cookie day! Cam got to visit with all of his cousins (except Nate who had a football game) and had a blast "decorating" the cookies. Cam's idea of decorating was more of un-decorating them and eating the toppings. His favorite treat of the day were Craisins. Needless to say I went out and bought him some the next day! Below is our favorite cookie we made.. Brobee!!!

Cameron's vocabulary continues to increase and he amazes me each day with what he says. He has started to string two words together and will ask "What's that?" and most recently he told me "Mama poo" after he did the deed. I love watching him talk more and understand more of what we say to him. He is very into singing and dancing and sang me a song this morning about a dog and a duc.. quack quack quack. It's adorable I must say.

What is not so adorable is his desire to destroy anything in his path! Which brings me back to the Christmas tree. I have thought about putting an enclosure around the tree but then I thought he's a toddler.. I should let him and ourselves experience his toddlerhood to the fullest! So I fully expect to be rehanging ornaments and rewrapping presents daily but that's ok because I want him to experience everything Christmas at his current destructive way! Should be interested to say the least!

I will leave you with a few more pics to ogle over until next time when I update our tree went through the front window or something!

Down goes the toddler!

Cam just took a nose dive, literally. Poor little guy has a pretty cut on his perfectly adorable little nose. This is due to Cameron climbing everything!!! The kid is unstoppable but oh so lovable. A few days ago I attempted to give Cam his first unofficial haircut. I think I did a pretty good job considering I was terrified of stabbing a wiggling toddler while wielding scissors. At least he isn't constantly frightening me with a possible ear infection every time he messes with his ears due to his hair tickling him.

Everyday he amazes me and I love him more than I ever imagined possible. His sweet little kisses and "mamas" get me every time.

A big shout out to all the veterans past, present, and future! Happy Veteran's Day!

It's November Already?

Helping Mommy clean out the pumpkin!


I can't believe it is November already! It seems like this year has just flown by! The past couple of weeks have been so much fun with Cam. He is definitely "talking" more and thinks he is invincible! He had a lot of fun on Halloween dressed up as a dinosaur! I must say, he was the cutest stinking dino I ever saw! On the 29th we ventured out of the neighborhood to take Cameron trick or treating at my family's houses. Saturday night we pulled him in his wagon around the neighborhood! He had fun and mommy and daddy are enjoying the candy he can't eat!

Our sweet dino! Rooaarrrr!!

Today, it is just Cam and I on our own. Cory went to Bloomington, IL to help his brother move into their new house! I can't wait to visit and see it! Cam and I are are going to a baby shower later and then to a wedding reception this evening. It should be a fun day!

Since it is November, I suppose it is time to start getting ready for Christmas! Thankfully, I already have pretty much all of Cam's Christmas done! We are still trying to figure out what we are going to do about the tree. I have a feeling it will be Cameron's favorite new "toy" and will cause some problems.. We thought about a baby fence or something to put around it but I'm not sure what we are going to do.

Cameron's new thing is that he always wants to "read" his books. He just brought me one so I better wrap this up! Will update soon!
