Lashes to Die For

As Cameron starts to get older his features are really coming out. As many of you have said he really looks more and more like Jante' every day (except for my big pretty eyes). As he gets older I have started to realize he has some of the prettiest eye lashes ever! Jante' says "pretty" is not a word I should use when referring to his son but I can't help it. They are truly lashes most women would kill to have. I tell him all the time folks pay good money to get lashes like that and now they have prescription medication to help lashes grow. He doesn't ever have to worry about spending his money on those drugs. I tried to get a good shot of his lashes - this is the best I could do.

A Sunday Afternoon at the Park

I know I have mentioned this several times before but if you are not familiar with the weather in Cincinnati you probably wouldn't know this but it can change at the drop of a dime. As an example, the weather this weekend was gorgeous! Yes, the first weekend in November and temperatures were in the high 60's low 70's. So of course we had to take advantage of it - and headed to the park. Cameron loves the outdoors so he enjoyed this adventure. You never know, this may not be the last time we enjoy great weather this year! We will see....

Happy Halloween!!!

This week was filled with exciting firsts. For any of you that know me you know that I am "Miss Involvement" - probably too involved. Once we got pregnant I immediately said I could not wait until Cameron was old enough for me to get involved with his school and the activities there. Well this week I got my chance! Creme' had their annual fall festival and I was a host. I was like a kid in a candy store. The kids were hilarious in there costumes. I saw a ton of princesses and action figure heros with muscles (have you ever seen a 4 year old with muscles like a wrestler - HILARIOUS!) And then there was the cutest caterpillar that you could have EVER seen (that would be Cam)! We laughed, we ate and we laughed some more. While this was my first time volunteering there I can promise it will not be my last. I told Cam I WILL be the president of the PTA one day - believe it!

Are Those My Toes?

I realized last week that Cameron has discovered his toes. One day when we were on our way to school I got ready to take him out of his car seat and his socks were soak and wet! He didn't have on any shoes but I still could not understand how his socks got soaked. That's when it dawned on me......he was mighty quite back there. It was because his feet were in his mouth! It's funny because there is a pose in yoga called the "happy baby" pose. It's basically you on your back with your feet very close to your face and your index fingers are wrapped around your big toes. I now understand where the name of the pose comes from. This is the exact position Cameron has been in a lot lately. Here he is playing with his toes while watching "Your Baby Can Read".

The Silent Treatment

Cameron loves "running his mouth" like his mommy. However he gets in these little moods when he doesn't want to say anything. I think its because I am in his face constantly with either the digital or video camera. In this video we were trying to get him to say hello to nana and paw-paw. No go. He was looking at us like we were crazy.

Huge Milestone!!

Cameron celebrated a huge milestone this week - he is now 6 months old!!!! I can hardly believe it. The time has gone by so fast and each day Mr. Glenn is coming into his own personality. He wakes up laughing and all throughout the day he is laughing and smiling. I asked him if I was funny looking to him because sometimes he will just look at me and burst out laughing. We had our 6 month doctor's visit and he weighed in at 17 lbs and 27 inches long! Dr. Cook was amazed at how long he has gotten in just 2 months. He was in the 50th percentile for both his weight and length this time. I questioned the doctor about his weigh because I could not believe he was just in the 50th percentile, I just knew he was over weight. She explained that he is right on target because had he been born at about 8 1/2 lbs (the average weight for a full term baby boy) he would have been approx. 17 lbs (double his weight) at 6 months. Cameron was only 6 lbs 4 oz when he was born but he has made up for being under weight at birth (LOL!) I was so proud of him because once again he did extremely well with his shots. He let out one little scream and then started looking around a laughing at all of us hovering over him. To celebrate this milestone I made him a Brownie Trifle. You will notice he didn't waste any time trying to put his hand in the dessert to grab some whipped cream (don't worry, my baby will not be on Maury Povich - he didn't eat any). We also started our first Glenn Family Tradition at the pumpkin patch. We had a great time! Oddly enough the weather was perfect for us to spend time there taking pictures and watching Cameron stare at the animals and pumpkins.

When Mom's Away

This weekend was the first time I was away from Cameron for more than one night. Me, Vivan, Renna and Faye (my aunts) went to Chicago for a Girls Weekend Getaway. We had a WONDERFUL time but I have to admit I was missing my boo boo. I was a little nervous because Jante' would be by himself and have both Cameron and Prince ALL weekend. I don't know why I second guessed him because he did a fantastic job! Let him tell it he is a "Pro" at this! I told him now that I know he can take care of both Cameron and Prince without a hitch, I will start to leave them together more often. (Don't believe that - I couldn't be away from my baby that long! LOL)
