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!

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.

Finally meeting my little guy! Coming Home...Finally!

Our Family is Finally Complete....For Now! ;)

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!

It's Confirmed!

My poor little Chase is allergic to peanuts...and not just peanuts, but pretty much all nuts! Poor guy! I am so sad that he will be never be able to really enjoy a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or some of my favorite candy bars. I felt bad taking him in there knowing that he would have to have the scratch test and be uncomfortable. No mom wants that for the kids, but I also felt it was necessary to see if he truly was allergic so we could take precautions. They did the test and said we would have to wait 20 minutes, but after 10 minutes they came in and saw the welts, and said they already knew he had the allergy so gave him some Benadryl so he would not be uncomfortable anymore. In other news....We had a great weekend. Considering the crummy, rainy, Saturday we had we made the best of it and had a great weekend!

First we hit the side walk chalk festival and after the drive in theater. We knew Chase would be out pretty quick and he did not disappoint. He tossed and turned for awhile, but it was fun to get out and relax and watch a movie.On Saturday we woke up to rain and storms...Shocker! So we decided to hit the Lehi indoor pool. Chase loved it and went down lots of slides and had fun with his Dad at the pool!Last, but not least we had a great Fathers. We spent the day together and up to SLC to visit with Chris dad at the Veterans home. Chase is so lucky to have such a good Daddy and example in his life. He looks forward to when Chris comes home every day, and I always have to keep Chase up for Chris if he is comes home late or he will wake Chase up just so he can spend time with him....and I love it! Nothing makes a wife and mom more happy than seeing that relationship! Thanks Chris for being such a great Dad and husband! We are so lucky to have you!

Only 11 Days to Go!

Well we are really at the count down now with only 11 days to go before our sweet little guy gets here! The doctor actually talked about moving my c-section up one more day today, but I am hoping for the 30th! Things are going great and I feel great other than being tired, but that is ok...I deserve to be a little tired, especially with a little guy who randomly likes to get up in the middle of the night just to say "HI". I think I finally nipped that one in the bud by taking the night light out if his room. I think he may have just thought it was morning, but we shall see. Other than lack of sleep from my silly aching hips things are great, and I feel great! These aching hips just make me feel like I am getting old....WAIT I AM! Gotta love it I guess!

We are so excited for our little guy to get here and so excited for Chase to be big brother. He really is the sweetest little guy any parents could ask for and I only hope he rubs off on his little brother! We will keep you informed of when our little guy gets here, but thought I would give just a little update!
Maybe I will post a pic later.... ;)

My Baby is Two....and lots of other fun!

I cannot believe how fast these past 2 years have gone by! Last Monday my little guy turned 2! I have to say it is a little bitter sweet for me and I would lie if I said, I did not cry about it! I am so happy that my little guy is growing up and learning new things every day, but am so sad that I am losing the baby and he is turning into this little boy. I could have not asked for a better baby, and little boy. He has certainly brought more joy than I thought one little guy could do and I look forward to these next few years seeing him grow up even more! He enjoys pretty much everything, and helps me to see all the little things that I have to be grateful for as well. Thanks Chase for making us so happy!

We decided just to have a little family party this year so on Sunday, Chases cousins came over along with his Aunt and Uncles, and Grami Cami! We celebrated by making homemade pizzas. I don't know who enjoyed making the pizzas more.....Chris or the kids! It was a great day though

Pizza TimeMy 2 Boys! Love Them!Love the CakeChase and his cousin!Chase was all partied out when everyone left...
On Monday, I did my best to make the whole day about Chase....(which I feel like I have been doing this whole last month. :) We started off with a yummy pancake breakfast, and then had bubble and dance time. (Chase loves music and bubbles....so why not combine them) Cash Baadsgaard came over in the afternoon and then we headed to farm country to see all the animals. The boys loved it, and loved the lollipops even more that they got to snack on in the car afterward. We then headed home for nap time and relaxed a little. When Chase woke up from his nap Chris was home so we decided to give him his bike....Chris and Chase both put i together and then spent the rest of the night outside on it!

Farm CountryCash and Chase loved the animals and it was impossible to get them to look at the camera together! I guess we needed Melissa there making LOTS of weird noisesChases New Bike...One of many gifts!
CHASES 2 YEAR APPOINTMENT
The dreaded appointment to the doctor for shots and all that fun stuff....went good! Chase had a little melt down about the shot this time, but the melt down really began when when he ripped the band aid and saw the blood. You would have thought he had never seen blood before from the reaction. He is growing strong and right on track. We take him this nex<div style="text-align: center;">I cannot believe how fast these past 2 years have gone by! Last Monday my little guy turned 2!

OUR WEEKEND
And last, but not least we had a GREAT weekend! Chris was supposed to head out on a bike trip, but it was canceled. Although I was sad for him that it was canceled because he was so bummed, we made the best of the weekend and had a lot of fun spending time together as a family. Chase and I woke up early Saturday morning (wait we always wake up early) and we headed to get Daylight Donuts for Chris to cheer him up. It worked! Chase was going to go to the zoo, but the weather looked like it was not going to work so we decided to head to the dunes with Kelly and Rach! It was a great time! There were a few showers there, but all in all it was a great time! Chase had tons of fun wearing the helmet and taking rides with his Dad....Although I am excited for our little bundle of joy to arrive I love the time that we are spending together right now with the 3 of us!

Chase wanted to wear this helmet 24/7...Just like his Daddy!Rach and Melissa getting there bike lessons....really both of them were off in like 2 minues! Rach even did a wheelie to show off her skills! ;)Wathching the boys on Sand Mountain Chris even took me for a ride in the razor! He said he had to take it easy though...no labor for me yet! :)We had a great time! Thanks Kelly and Rach we are already excited to go back out!

And least, but not least on Sunday we headed up to the Veteran home to have church with Vic and visit for a minute. Afterwards we headed to temple square to take in the nice weather we were having since we knew thunderstorms were coming in the later afternoon!

A perfect afternoon and weekend with my boys!
