Word Search

I have to steal a post from my friend Raquel because I thought it was so cute! Her youngest and Cameron are about 5 months apart and I have to share some new words that are coming out of Cameron's mouth lately.

lopah = granola bar
uty.....ahms = lucky charms (this took me a looong time to figure out)
nup = milk
tamin peeors = cameron peters
bahly = molly (our dog)

A lot of her words are pretty clear now but she still comes up with some funny stuff. She's counting to 10 by herself and we are still working on potty training. School buses are an obsession and she can pick one out from a mile away. I just hear "koo bus!, Lellow (yellow)!" yelled over and over until it's out of sight. "Neeeeew" anything is also a favorite word too. Everything is new, including my friend Laura's newborn, who Cameron saw a picture of and said "neeeeew baby". At least she was right on that one.

We are having a great time with her and are planning on going to San Diego again next weekend. Hopefully there is no fly incident this time. I'll get some new photos posted soon!

San Diego

We went to San Diego over the weekend for an autocross. There is one photo to prove we were there! Here's a link to all our photos. Cameron went to the beach for the first time and did not like it at all. She wanted nothing to do with the sand or water so our visit to the beach was pretty short. Could have had something to do with the fact that she refused to sleep on the entire 5 hour drive over and was traumatized by a fly that none of the rest of us could seem to find in the car. She has developed quite a fear of bugs and flies for some reason. Anyway, it was a fun trip and was nice to get out of the heat for a few days.

NYC

We had a great time in NYC. Here's a few of the interesting pics and a link to all of them.


At Top of the Rock, central park in the background.


At Good Morning America summer concert in Bryant Park with Maroon 5.




Renee, Mom, and Lauren



Had to capture the moment and wonder, why did we come all the way to NYC to eat in a bad Mexican restaurant called Tequilaville or something like that. It was late and we couldn't find the pub that Chris was looking for so there's where we ended up.




The Brooklyn Bridge with Manhattan in the background.



Had to capture the "Today Fever" special. Not sure what English saying was misinterpreted there but it was funny.


The cheese counter inside Murray's cheese shop in Greenwich Village. Brian and I did a walking food tour and history that was pretty good.

Cameron and Zeta

We've had a lot going on lately - Brian and I just got back from a 5 day trip to NYC with my family. We had a great time and really surprised my mom, who had no idea we were all coming with her until we showed up at the gate. As soon as we get the pics off Brian's camera I'll post a link.

Cameron has been potty training for the last month or so and is doing pretty well. We're still in diapers but hoping to move on to pull ups pretty soon. She's counting to 10 and usually gets all of the numbers in there and is learning basic colors.

First Race Car

We've had this for a couple months but Cameron finally got up the nerve to go for a ride. All she would do before was say "no, no, no, no" over and over when we put her in it. Today she got in by herself while we were in the garage loading up some baby stuff and asked to go for a ride. We rode up and down the street and around in the driveway. I took it on my camera so the quality's not the best but it's pretty cute.

My entourage

I have these three following me around all day!

Left alone...

Here's what happens when we all think that the other one is watching Cameron. That's an entire bag of goldfish, a stale bag of marshmallows (her absolute favorite snack - not that she gets them often), a couple boxes of saran wrap, and some old chips, all scattered around her. She had goldfish imprints on her butt when she got up.

On another front, we've started potty training. I bought her a little Baby Bjorn potty a few weeks back and just let her play with it, sit on it, put the pot on her head, etc. It had been put away in the cabinet for a few days when she went into the bathroom and started repeating "potty" over and over. So we got it out and I put her on it, and low and behold she actually went. Now I'm just trying to take her in there every so often and get her used to it. So far so good though. Oh, the things that we get excited about now...

Cameron had her friend Ellie over today. Here's a few pics of them...I can't imagine what it would be like to have kids 9 months apart - as these two are. They were both pretty good all day but were quite a handfull! Fortunatley Lindsey and Laura came over in the afternoon to help out a little.

More Photos of Cameron

Here's a link to all of Cameron's photos that Jennie did for us. She did a great job! It takes a little while for them to load.
