Fall Colors and Halloween party

Saturday, before our ward Halloween party, we took a little drive down a road near the lake to see the pretty colors of the trees...

Then we went to the ward Halloween party. Chad was a hit Everyone loved his corduroy suit. The dress I got was lame (and too short), so I ended up just grabbing something out of the closet and taking the dress back to the store. I was going to wear the black wig and Chad was going to wear my blond one, but it looked better this way. We didn't stay too long...Cameron was wiped out. It was a pretty fun party.

I have to say...

I don't know how I'm going to deal with a whiny toddler. I can barely deal with a whiny 5+ month old! For future reference, I am documenting Cameron's whiny times with the camera. That way, I have proof of what he did to me and why I deserve lovely, expensive things when he is a doctor/lawyer/something that makes lots of money!

So here, Cameron is upset cause I wouldn't pick him up and hold him all day (which Chad and I discussed tonight...not sure if it's because he's getting older or that he was held a lot in VA a few months ago or both or neither--why do you think he's getting so clingy lately? He REALLY likes attention!)

Well, I picked him up and we played with the camera and looked in the mirror a bit.

And then he was happy.

Cameron LOVES it when Chad comes home. And so do I cause I get a break and Cameron is happy! We're trying his sitting-up skills . He's doing pretty well here.

But here, he's starting to fall and looks a little annoyed that Chad would let him.

Don't worry. Everything is alright now. Shew!

Sorry!!!

So I know it's been a long time since I updated the blog. The reason is just a lazy one...there are so many pictures on our camera that I didn't delete and it was going to take a long time uploading, resizing, and fixing the ones I wanted. Well, I decided you've all waited long enough! Here are some pictures of the Cam man from the last little while...

awesome!

I put Cameron down for a nap about 20 minutes ago. When I went to check on him (to make sure he was asleep), this is what I found...

Yes, those are Cameron's legs up in the air!!!! How does he sleep like that?!

A view from the end of the crib...

My baby is so talented! *Sniff*

Fall pictures

Cameron and I went to pick Chad up from school yesterday and took some pictures. It was COLD!!!! I think it was in the 50s, but the wind was so strong. It reminded me of winter. And I'm not sure how I feel about it coming so soon!! (The pics are a little out of order)...

Cameron's faces

Here are some pictures from a few days ago. Cameron stood up (with help), sat in his bumbo seat, ate some toys, and whined a lot. It was pretty eventful, let me tell ya!
