To Win a Mattress

I am linking to a blog I read called We are THAT Family for a chance to win a WONDERFUL mattress. Therefore I must post a picture of our current mattress. Embarrassing but necessary.

"The WAVE of the future"

5 months old!!

Our sweet baby is 5 months old today. How is this possible?
Five months ago we welcomed the sweetest, tiniest little fella into our family. Our lives will never be the same.
What are you up to at 5 months?

First let me say, you are the sweetest boy Cameron. Your smile and laugh are such sweet music to mama and daddy's hearts. You really are becoming a pretty content little fella until you are tired. We are praying that you will learn SOON that sleep is your friend and not your enemy.


You are still nursing every 3 hours during the day. You have slept through the night a few times so we know you can do it, but you would much rather have a midnight snack.


You love, love, love your bath time. You kick and splash in a very determined manner. Pure joy.

You love playing in your bouncer. You look like you are dancing to river dance music.

Your favorite toy right now is your hands. They are always in your mouth and you like to put our hands in your mouth too. A burp cloth keeps your pretty entertained as well. Anything you can get to that mouth makes you happy. No teeth yet, but I think you are working on them.

You seem to learn a new trick everyday.

Daddy has really been working with you on your sitting. You can sit on your own for a few seconds. You are getting stronger everyday.

You have learned to stick your tongue out. It's really funny.

You found your feet and really like playing with them. They haven't made it to your mouth yet, but I'm sure they will soon.

You also like to blow raspberries or bubbles.


I still believe your favorite thing to do is kick your legs and now you like to wave your arms like a bird. You are starting to show your excitement by kicking and waving.
You went swimming for the first time this month with daddy. You were a good sport, but I think you prefer your bath!


We tried Oatmeal this week and you were not a fan. You were much more interested in eating your new Cars bib!

You started daycare last week (8-15-11). I think you did better than I did. It breaks my heart to leave you but I am so thankful for the 5 months we were able to stay at home together.

Your biggest struggle right now is sleeping outside of someone's arms. When I picked you up from daycare on Thursday you had not slept AT ALL. How is this possible for a 5 month old? We promise you won't miss anything if you sleep.

You are such a cute little boy. You have daddy's pretty blue eyes and mom's porcelain (pale) skin. We think you are a perfect combination of both of us. You are loosing your hair which makes for a funny comb over, but you are starting to grow some of it back. You have some thunder thighs and have grown SOO much. We like to call you our chunky monkey.

Cameron you are the joy of our heart. We pray the Lord's protection and guidance on you everyday.
We love you sweet boy!

21 weeks

Cameron was born 21 weeks ago yesterday. Time has really flown by, as he will be 5 months old next Monday. The summer is over; classes start today for both Amy and myself and Cameron started daycare on Monday. We took a trip to Hattiesburg last weekend to see family and friends and below are some pictures. Amy will be back with a 5 month blog post next week.

Cameron and his best buddy Judah Wallace.

Pure Joy

Cameron is developing such as SWEET personality. He smiles, talks and laughs all the time. He really is only fussy if he is tired or hungry. We have come a long way from his early days. Adam captured some of this joyful laughter the other night on video. If this doesn't make your heart smile, I don't know what would.
