Fall Fun!

Time to play catch up! Here are just a few things going on in the life of the Cameron Family!

Grant is 3 Months Old
Grant is already 3 months old! Crazy, I know how fast the time goes by. He is getting stronger every day and is just the cutest little part of our family.
Just a few things that he likes to do:

• Looks at his hands
• Chews his hands
• Tummy time (Lifts himself up great...so strong)
• Is always trying to grab at things. (Especially Chases Lollipops)
• Loves to Jabber and Giggle
• Loves to sit up
• Is sometime sleeping 9 hours through the night, although not consistently
• Rolls over from tummy to back
• Has the best set of lungs on him :)

I cannot get enough of this little guy. He seriously has the most contagious little smile, and shares it all the time.
Utah State Fair
A few weeks back we headed to the Utah County fair. I have to admit it was one of those very hot days before the cold hit and I have vowed to never go to the fair again during the day. We did have a great time though eating yummy fair food, seeing the animals, and even catching a glimpse at "the tiniest lady alive". Such a great time! I am just hoping that Grant enjoys it more next year since his way of showing enthusiasm there was screaming....and not with joy!Pumpkin Patch
Well just like others we made out way this season to the Pumpkin Patch. I love this particular one because it has pumpkins, tractors, and a little corn maze for the kids! Chase was in heaven. He grabbed his "shopping cart" wheel barrow and we were off in search for the perfect pumpkin for all of us. The next morning was like Christmas when Chase realized we still had the pumpkins from the night before and has talked about the pumpkin patch not stop since. Makes me feel good when he gets so excited about those little things. Maybe we will hit a few more pumpkin patches this season, since he is such a big fan.
Just a few randoms....
Chase Man
Like I mentioned the kids are growing up so fast. Chase is working on potty training and has pretty much got it down when we are at home. We are on day 3 with no accidents while at home. My goal was to have him potty trained by the time he was 2 1/2. That gave me until Jan to have him trained, but he has done so good on just wanting to go. I have to admit, it has been nice not having to chance a stinky diaper for him for the last week.
He loves to run in there every chance he gets, and makes sure we know he is going potty "like daddy" It is so cute and funny how little boys want to be just like there dads. He wants to do everything that Chris does. He likes to watch football with dad, tries to fix things like Chris, and if Chris is sick, Chase will say he is sick. Silly little boy! He is saying the funniest things now and makes us laugh everyday. A few of the things he is saying lately.

• "So delicious!" (Thanks Amy)
• "Whatch" you laughing at!"
• "I so proud of me!" (After he goes potty)
• During any football game he always screams "Go Cougars"
• "Me a football player!" Pretty much anytime he sees this little football around the house
  
• "Me so funny..."
• "Argghhh, Me a pirate!"
• "Me hunwy!" (Means he is hungry)
• "Mommy, you SO funny" Yeah I get that alot! :)
  
• After the sacrament song, "This is a great song, mommy!"

There are more, and I just can't think of them, but like many have said I need to write these little things down so I remember. He is just growing like a weed, and thanks to sesame street and super why can count to 10! (Maybe I helped a little) I just love this little guy and am so grateful that he is such a good big brother and Mommy's little helper!

As you can see we are keeping busy and loving life! I will keep updates and post coming! If you got this far....THANKS for reading. :)

Labor Day at the Zoo!

We spent our Labor Day at the Hogle Zoo last week. It so much fun to take Chase! He loved all the animals and we could not had a more perfect day together as a family!
(I recommend the bird show for all who go, it was our favorite thing about our zoo day)

Me and Melissa on the TrainGrant in his Zoo AttireChase on the Carousal Even Grandma joined everyone for a ride on the carouselI just love this pic! Chase was always wanting to stop and get water, but was unsure of getting it out of the lions mouth!What a great family day at the zoo!

Whats Been Going On????

I find it so hard to find the motivation to get on here and blog sometimes. Lame I know...Since I am always telling everyone how they need to blog so I can see pics. Well things have been going well in the Cameron Family. We have had a great summer and I have to admit I am already excited for all the fall activity's to start....What can I say, I love fall! We have been trying to get out and take in the last of the summer weather. Here are some updates on my kiddos!

Grants 2 Month Appointment
On Friday we headed to the doctor for Grants 2 month appointment. I was convinced the little guy would weigh in at about 17 lbs....Was I off! I guess those rolls and chubby tummy can be very deceiving.Weight- 12.85 lbs- 73 %tile
Height- 23.25 58 %tile

The doctor said he is right on track and looks great. He was very shocked to hear that Grant likes to roll over already from his stomach to his back and said that it was rare for a baby his age. I told him that Grant seemed to be very strong and the doctor agreed when 2 of them worked on holding him down to check hi ears. (One holding down his arms, one doing the check up) The doctor looked over at me smiled and said, "I am seriously using strength to hold him down..." What can I say, I have strong boys. They get that from there Dad and Grandpa Vic. One thing we have been struggling with Grant on is acid reflux. I was no sure if that is what it was, but the doctor confirmed it when Grant had a little episode with his reflux at the office. I guess I always thought a baby with reflux spit up lots. Grants does not spit up lots, but I guess swallows it when he does, and alot of times when he does spit up it is clear... Poor Guy! They gave him some medicine and we are noticing a difference already! He is such a cute little guy and loves to talk to us all the time and give lots of smiles. I am already so excited for him and Chase to start playing together.

Eating his hands while waiting for the doctor.Trying out the Bumbo....He always wants to set up so we thought what the heck lets try it...He loved it! He now has a new nick name
"Natty No Neck"
Chase Man....My little Helper!
Chase has been such a great helper since his little brother has come along. He is always willing to grab me diapers, pacifiers, and blankets when I need them and he is constantly wanting to hold his brother and give him kisses. I am so glad that the transition when so smooth for him. He is talking LOTS more and saying the funniest things. The other day I was blow drying my hair. I guess he was at the bottom of the stairs yelling my name. I guess when I did not respond he decided he had to take other measures. Chris ran up the stairs and said do you hear your son? Sure enough he was saying,
"Jen, come here, show you somthing...."
Jen, what happened to mom? By that evening he had called Chris by his first name. You just can't help, but laugh when you hear something like that. He just makes us laugh every day and our silly little boy. He seems to be very obsessed with his sun glasses, flip flops, and hats and when he wakes up puts them on. He then makes his way up stairs to let me know," I'm hunwy" He always rubs his tummy to tell me that he is hungry and by the look in his eyes you would think I am starving him. He is definilty a daddy's boy and loves to do whatever Chris is doing. If Chris is working on his bike, Chase is working on his. If Chris is mowing the lawn, a little shadow follows him. You name it he does it! We just love this little guy and what a great big brother he is.

You may be asking why he is wearing a winter beanie? He just loves hats and was sweating up a storm out there...Dads little shadow.

8 Weeks Old

Grant is already 8 weeks old and wow has the time flown by! He is the cutest little guy with the chubbiest little cheeks I have ever seen. He is just like his brother and very strong. at 4 weeks old he started rolling over from his tummy to his back. This week he has not been doing it as much and I have to wonder if it because of those little rolls on his body. :)He smiles all the time and does a very good job of holding up his head already. We are so excited that we have these 2 little guys in our lives. Chase has been a great big brother and a great big helper to me. More to come....

3 Weeks Old

Our sweet little Grant is 3 already weeks old. How the time has already flown by. It seems like he has always been a part of our family, but at the same time I cannot believe it has already been 3 weeks. He is such a good little baby and has a great temperament. He is already getting rolls everywhere and I know will be our little chunky monkey before we know it. Just like Chase, he is very strong and is constantly lifting his head and moving it around so he can get a good look at what is going on. We can get a smile out of him here and there, but it may still be gas and not moms funny faces that is bringing out those cute little smiles. Unlike Chase, Grant has a good set of lungs on him and will let you know when he wants something. He is still waking up in the night, but is good about going back to sleep. Chase has been a great helper to me, and yet seems to be into everything right now. He is always wanting to hold the baby and is great at putting the pacifier in his mouth, and even helping mom give him a bottle. He has been really good at getting into things too when I am working on things for the baby. The list could go on of the things that he gets into when I am preoccupied changing a diaper, or giving a bath, but it always seems like he is trying to be a little helper. What can I say.... I have had sun lotion spray on all my tables he had a dust rag and was cleaning them and looked so proud and said, "See", lotion all over the floor, and his little naked bum cleaning the toilet with the gross toilet brush. I have to admit that one was kinda gross to see. The list could go on, but all in all I feel completely blessed! I have a great husband who has been so supportive, 2 little boys that I could not be more in love with, and great friends and family who have been over helping or offering there help every chance they get. Life does not get better than this!

Here are just a few pics from the past 3 weeks!

Blessing Day

First Bath....

We had his 2 week appointment when he was days old since the doctor was going to be out of town. Just like Chase, the doctor commented on how strong Grant was and said he looked great!

Weight: 7.4 lbs 24%centile
Height: 19.5 Inches 23 %centile

Grants Baby Blessing

Here are just a few pics of Grants blessing day. Chris gave a great blessing and we were once again surrounded by so many of our friends and family. Both of our kids have been named after such great men, our fathers, and we can only hope they live up to those names and make there grandfather proud.
We have been truly blessed to have such good people to surround us and our kids.

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it!

Grant Jerrie Cameron

Well I am finally finding a moment to get on and introduce our new little one. I can honestly say that he has not even been here a week, and I am so in love with this new little boy. He has already captured my heart when I thought there was no room left because Chase had taken it all up. It has been so fun watching Chase with Grant. He is a great big brother already and loves to hold his new baby brother every chance that he gets. I have had LOTS of help and am so grateful for all the friends and family that have been there for me the past few weeks.
Thanks for everyone!

Sorry for the picture overload.

4th of July

Chase getting his face painted

We hit an activity in our neighborhood for the 4th.

It was a perfect little get out for the 4th!

Of course when we got home Chase wanted to hold Grant. It was so funny because before he sat down to hold him he had to grab the bottle. What a little helper!
