What a fun Halloween!!

Cami's second Halloween was a great day. She started the day decorating her pumpkin and then sitting for a few pictures with the Halloween decorations! Check out how much Cami changed in a year!! Cameron was a monkey this year and actually got to go Trick-or-Treating. We went around the block pretty quickly, because it was pretty cold and windy. After dinner Cami had a chocolate cupcake, Yummy! What a fun day!

SO BIG SO FAST!!

Cameron is getting big too fast!! Yesterday she ate yogurt all by herself. Today she took a stab at her pasta! We are very proud of Cami and can't believe all that she can do.

Shedd movies!

Here are two movies I forget to post from the day at the Shedd! Cameron loves fish. If you listen close to the one where she is by the tank with lots of fish (the first one)...she says "fish"!! In the second one a dolphin swims very close to Cami's head. We stood there for a long time while Cami looked at the dolphins, but I totally forgot to take a video because I was trying to get a good still shot. (Hard to do when the objects are always moving!) So, Cameron was ready to go and this one is super short!

Grandpa Jody's Visit...

Last week Grandpa Jody and Bertha came into town to meet Cameron! We went to breakfast one morning and while we were there they gave Cami some belated birthday gifts. They also came to our house one night for dinner and some playtime. (Below you can view a movie of Grandpa Jody playing ball with Cameron.) Also during the visit, we all went to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and then to dinner with some old friends of Grandpa Jody's. Cameron is a lucky little girl to have so many people who love her! Thanks for coming!! We'll see you again soon!

Cami's car

Cami got a car for her birthday from a few of the neighborhood families! She loves it!! Yesterday we went for a half-mile walk and today we ventured a whole mile!! What a great way to enjoy a nice fall day.

Didier farm with friends

Today we went to Didier Farm with Mrs. Lindley and Brayden. We posed for a few pictures, saw a few farm animals and went on a hay ride. What a nice way to spend a morning!

Cami and her Granddad

Cameron and Granddad are good friends!

Granddad enjoys showing Cami his cool Halloween decorations!

Cameron is ONE!!

Cameron turned one and we had a huge party!!

On October 3rd Cami officially turned one. We celebrated with a Hawaiian themed party and it was a blast. It rained much of the time but that did not stop us from eating our Hawaiian food outside, showing a movie on the garage door, or playing a game or two of coconut bowling! We kept dry under tents and warm with some heaters and a fire! (We have uploaded pictures through Shutterfly and they should appear just below this message. ) We would like to thank everyone for coming and celebrating with us. We hope you had a great time!!

On this short movie clip you will see Cameron enjoying her cake!!
