Cameron's 1st Birthday Party

Here are pictures from Cameron's awesome 1st birthday party which was held at a local park on Sat. Sept. 12. The party went off without a hitch due mostly to the help of my sister, Becky, who arrived early to set up all the decorations and food. It was under a covered pavilion (which was great since it did rain) and there was a huge playground right next to the pavilion for the big kids to play on. We had about 40 adults/children there. We hired a children's singer, Mr. Richard, to come and play songs and he was a hit! I couldn't have asked for a better time and felt so blessed that Charles and I were able to celebrate Cameron's birthday with so many friends and family! We were even so blessed that my sister, Heather, and two nephews who live in Oregon, and my papap and mimi, were able to attend!

What a happy little boy!

Cameron is such a good walker now!

My Aunt Pam (traveled from Jacksonville to the party) and Papap (who traveled from Lake City and is 91 years old!) I think he enjoyed the party as much as the children :)

Cameron and my sisters dog, Lily. Since Cameron loves dogs so much, especially Lily, we had a dog theme for the party.

I thought Cameron was going to fall asleep during the sing-along! He had to miss his morning nap but despite a few yawns here and there he was a happy camper! Too much excitement for the birthday boy :)

Mr. Richard leading the sing-along

Cameron and my nephew Jackson. So cute how they have about the same expression on their face!

This photo shows Cameron almost taking a face plant into the cake, he was inches away! I don't know if it was because he was so tired he wanted to put his head down or if he just wanted his face in the cake!

What a cute cake face!

Cameron sat for awhile with his hands inside his cake; I think he didn't know what to do after getting cake all over them!

One of the many yawns I mentioned earlier. Still a cute photo!

Friends and Vacations

Here are a few photos from a dinner we had a few weeks ago with out friends Ryan, Caroline and their daughter Addison. There are also photos from the trip to Clearwater Beach that Charles, Cameron and I went to this past labor day weekend. On Saturday, our friends Chris and Melisha and their children Corban and Adeline made the trip down to visit us for the day. We had great weather for the whole weekend and it was really nice to get out of town for the weekend.

Addison, Ryan and Cameron. What a great photo!

Cam's 1st Birthday (Family Party)

Cameron's 1st birthday was last Wednesday, Sept 2. Since we have a big party planned for Sept. 12, Cameron enjoyed a nice simple birthday at his Grandy and Popeye's house (Leslie's parents.)

Here is Cameron with Lily, Aunt Becky's dog that he is in LOVE with. He just learned how to climb on to her back while she is laying down. She is the best dog and is so patient to let Cameron climb all over her!

Opening a present

I wanted to get a good picture of his shirt which I had made specially for him from a local shop

Cousin Jackson and Cameron watching Curious George. Cameron wasn't used to the TV being so close so he kept touching it!

Cameron enjoying his piece of cake, it didn't last long!

First bite

Jackson blowing out the candle for Cameron (look at Cameron touching the cake, he couldn't wait!)

Wanted to show the cute bib I found that says "today I eat cake"

He's off and running

I thought I would post this video I took of Cameron walking. He has been walking pretty good for the past month now.
