8 Months, Story Time, & Halloween

Bruce and I were having a discussion the other day and we feel like our little girl is growing up too fast! It feels like she was just turning 6 months old yesterday! We are having so much fun watching her grown into a little person. She loves to clap and make silly noises. She is now crawling and we are in the midst of baby proofing. No teeth but that doesn't stop her from trying new foods (those little gums are strong). She is still attending Rolly Pollies and Nitro (her swim class) and I believe we are going to become regulars at the library story time. She LOVED it! Enjoy the pictures of our sweet little girl!

8 months old!

Cool weather brings jeans, jackets, and hats!

Halloween Fun!

Pumpkin Patch Take 2!

Today, Cameron and I went to the pumpkin patch in Marble Falls and met up with some of her friends from Rolly Pollies. We had a lot of fun. We fed goats, went on a hay ride, picked flowers, and took a lot of pictures with pumpkins! The girls were so sweet together and I hope it's just one of many outings to come!

PUMPKINS!!!

Trip to Virginia

Cameron and I flew to Virginia to visit with her Grammy and Nana and later that week Bruce joined us. When Bruce arrived him and I drove to Virginia Tech to tailgate and visit his youngest brother, Mike. I will have a post about our trip to Tech when I receive more pictures, but I will say, Mike did an incredible job hosting everyone and really took Tech tailgating to a whole new level! Cameron stayed with my mom while we went to Tech and did an amazing job. We missed her a lot, but knew she was in wonderful hands. Thank you Mom for making our trip so special and taking such wonderful care of our little girl.

So exciting!

Look at how big this one is! It made her hair stand straight up! (:

She was more interested in eating the straw than taking the picture

7 Months

It's hard for Bruce and I to believe that Cameron is already 7 months old. She is growing so fast and changes so much each day. She is now clapping her hands and discovering that she can make all sorts of noises. She is still toothless and not crawling. I suspect that both of those things are coming very soon for her because she is chewing on everything and can scoot backwards and rocks on her hands and knees. Enjoy her 7 month pictures! (:

"Oh no, she has the camera out again .. "

"Oh wait, this is fun! Mommy is so funny!"

"Mom, stop taking my picture .. PLEASE!!!!"

Rolly Pollies, Shopping Carts, and Hokie Football

Cameron and I have started going to gym/music classes on Tuesday afternoons to get out of the house, meet people, and also so Cameron gets some interaction with other babies. (The music and gym part is fun, too) She is the youngest in her class, but I think she is doing really well with the other babies. She gets a little jealous when they crawl, but I don't think she is too far behind. Here are some pictures of her first day. I'm also posting a picture of Cameron's first ride in a shopping cart without her car seat and her first Saturday of watching college football.

Gooo Hokies!

Ready for her first day at Rolly Pollies!

Lots of Tummy Time!

6 Months

It's hard for me to believe that our precious girl is already 6 months old! Time is flying by. Cameron is now 16.7 pounds and 26 3/4 inches. She has tried carrots, pears, and mashed potatoes now and once again is not crazy about the carbs. What child does not like mashed potatoes? Her personality is really starting to come out and she makes us laugh all the time.

Didn't you know stickers are high in fiber (;

(She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth!)

Cameron's Baptism

Cameron's baptism was a beautiful and very special day. She was baptized at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Horseshoe Bay. Her Godfather Michael, Michael's girlfriend Kelsey, and Grammy Piercefield flew from Virginia to be a part of the ceremony. Bruce and I felt so blessed to have them here to participate in Cameron's baptism and we missed and thought of those who couldn't attend that day. Please know you were in our thoughts and we are forever thankful for your love and support.

She was such a good listener!

Cameron loves water. This was a piece of cake! (;
