FINALLY...a little outside time!

The weather here has been HORRIBLE! It has rained for over a week....and for my outside loving baby, it has been miserable! We took advantage of a few hours WITHOUT rain and enjoyed some time outside. As you can see he brought basically every riding toy he owns with him, taking turns with each of them! Why in the world does one baby need so many toys?! :-)

Although it wasn't raining, you can imagine what the ground was like after raining for a whole week...Cameron was happy to be outside, but still very sad that we couldn't play in the yard. :-(Outside play didn't last very long...about 30 minutes..until the rain was back. We went back inside to play. Here, Cameron is LOVING his Elmo light toy that we got at Elmo Live. Soooo cute!!

Big smiles from the big boy! He is growing up TOOOO fast! :-(

My F-A-V-O-R-I-T-E toy...My rocket! ;-) Here, I am racing around the house chasing Mommy! Silly boy!

Heeeeeeeee's back!!!

Okay, so we still aren't 100%...but we have improved DRASTICALLY over the past few days. No more fevers, increased appetite, and MANY, MANY, MANY more smiles & happy baby. We are still dealing with runny nose and coughing, but we're getting better! Yay!!

FINALLY eating a real meal--and LOVING it!!

Thinks he should use a big boy fork...instead of the baby forks now :-) He's growing up SOOOOOOOOOOOO fast!

Playing hide-and-seek with the fork...HILARIOUS!

Hide-and-seek again behind his head :-)AND...he has found and figured out light switches...fabulous!

Update...and a few pictures to brighten your day!

As you all know, Cameron has been and still is very sick with double ear infections, bronchitis, a HORRIBLE cough and now we're on to wheezing and not sleeping well....UGH! We are home from work/daycare today, hoping that another visit to the doctor will make things better. He SEEMS to be feeling better today, but I thought the same thing Saturday and he went back downhill yesterday. Keep your fingers crossed!!

I couldn't resist snapping a quick shot of this face. Although it is soooo, sooo, sooo sad, it is so very adorable at the same time! We are seeing this pitiful little face A LOT these days, poor thing just doesn't feel good!

Mommy knows how to turn that frown upside down----ICE CREAM!! It seems that Cookies and Cream is a favorite! :-)

Playing with my new favorite friend these days--ELMO!

Cameron LOVES to watch the birds outside the window with Miss Sadie....

...we even have a squirrel that comes to visit us!

My MOST favorite thing---cars, trucks, trains-you name it-anything with wheels, I love, love, love!!! Look at that-I even took a break from my cars to say cheese for Mommy!

Few more pictures from our Boston trip...

With Cameron being sick the past few days, we don't have any new pictures to share. So, here is a few more pictures of our trip to Boston...some from Jeff's camera...some from ours. ENJOY!

Our little family...outside of Cheers!

Crazy baby, crazy hair...enjoying the Boston sunshine!

Cam-man taking a stretch break from the 10-hour car trip!Perfect little face....:-)

Did I mention it was a 10 hour car trip??....probably because Grandpa Bauss thought he should shop for sunglasses at the rest stop! We caught him red-handed!

Blankie, Blankie, Ba!

Cameron LOVES his blankie, a.k.a Ba!

Sickness update...

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update about Cameron...

We are STILL battling with the never-ending fever. Hasn't been below 100 since Wednesday morning. We are alternating Motrin and Tylenol...and cool baths. We are headed to the doctor tomorrow morning to see what's going on. He isn't "fussy," just very clingy and pitiful! Lots of coughing, sneezing, and yucky eye stuff.

I took on Wednesday, Ryan took off today, and now I'm off again tomorrow. On top of all this, I have a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE deadline tomorrow morning. Keep us in your thoughts please!!

We'll keep you posted...

Enjoying the beautiful weather!

Cameron and I spent most of the afternoon outside yesterday enjoying the wonderful weather! Good thing we did because not only is it rainy and cold today, but Cameron is home with me today with a HIGH fever, horrible cough, and lots of congestion in his chest. He woke up this morning with an almost 104 degree temperature! I gave him a cool bath, lots of Motrin, and cuddled with him for most of the morning. He was so sad! He didn't even want to move...:-( We finally laid down on the guest bed to rest and he was able to get comfortable enough to sleep--so that is where he has been all morning! I'm hoping he'll sleep through most of his sickness, it's no fun having a helpless, sick baby. Here are a few pictures from our afternoon outside yesterday....and a sneak peak at Mother's Day gifts for all the many Grandma's in Cameron's life! ENJOY & keep your fingers crossed we'll get through this sickness soon!

Painting flower pots & experimenting with mixing colors of paint...fun, fun, fun!

He loved mixing the colors and experimenting with painting all over!

After we finished painting flower pots, art time wasn't over--we started painting with our tractor wheels all over the big paper! This was my FAVORITE!

Finally, after all that painting we had to wash our hands and tractor wheels because it was time for dinner! What a fun day! :-)
