More Fall Fun

I have to say that Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I love the smell in the air, and all the activities offered for families and kids. We have been trying to take advantage of what we can and staying warm at the same time. Just a few pics of what we have been doing.

Gardner Village- Take One...
Chari and I took the kids over to Gardner Village to check out the fun witches they have every where. I know we both got up early and checked the weather and were pretty confident it was going to be perfect day for an outing so off we went. Boy were we wrong. It was windy and rainy! We got a little bit of the sights in, but will have to try to get back there again before the end of the season! So heres to great company on a windy, rainy day!
CornBellies
We had so much fun here! Chase loved running around and doing every activity possible. The best was the how they just play in lots of corn kernals. You would be amazed at how much came out when we took him to the bathroom at the restaurant.
Trying to be creative...
I have never had a very creative bone in me, but have tried to do some fun fall food and activities for Halloween. I think I will get better with time....

First step cookies
Anyone want to guess what this is?My cute boy!

More Pics of My Chubs- 3 Months 4 Weeks

Here are just a few more pics of my little chubs! He is now 3 months 4 weeks old and the cutest, chubbiest thing on the block. I know...just looking at those cheeks makes you want to pinch them. How can you even resist! He loves to kick, kick, kick his feet and sit up every chance he gets whether it be in the Bumbo, in the crease of the couch, or the high chair. This past week I pulled out the exersaucer and he loves it! He is such a smiley baby, but will let you know when he is upset! Still waking up here and there in the middle of the night. Sometimes he will sleep 9 hours and I get way excited, and then the next 3 nights be up every 2 hours. (Little Stinker!) Here are just a few pics and a video of his contagious giggle! Gotta love him!

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.
