Playing at home

Hi Dada -
Here are a few pictures from today - Mama and I were playing and I was being cute!

Ready to throw two balls at Mama.

Here is a video of Cam doing some talking. It is mainly his M noise, but I like to think that he is saying Mama!! The video is a bit shaky and dark, but it is pretty darn cute.

Dear Daddy: Weekend Three

Hi Daddy,
I still need to tell you about last week (wait until you hear about my boo boos, swim class and new trick in the bathroom!), but for now I am just going to post a few pictures and a video from this weekend. Mama and I went to Rochester to spend time with Omi and Opa, and to go to Bridgette's 2nd birthday party. I had fun at the party and it was good to see my two girlfriends there! At Omi and Opa's house, I got to play a lot. They sure have some cool toys!! Michael came over to play with me twice, and Joey came over too. And of course Omi and Opa played with me lots. It was a fun weekend, and I was even a good boy in the car both ways and slept the whole time!! Here are some pictures. Love you Dada!!!
Love, Cam

Omi took me for a ride in this little buggy. She pushed me all around the house and I loved it!
This is my devious smile!
Dada! Do you like my chair? It is just my size - although my bum was a little wide for it and got stuck in it!
Omi found me this beautiful hat.
Then I traded it in for a fishing hat matching Michael's.
Michael gave me rides around on the ottoman. It was so fun, I was laughing and smiling the whole time (until Mama tried to take this picture!)

It sure was hard work playing at Omi's. I fell asleep the minute I got into my stroller for a walk.

Here is a video of me - I loved using the ottoman as a walker. Mama didn't get a good video of me when I was going all over the place, but you can get the idea with this one.

We love cups!

Hi Daddy,
Here are a couple of cute pictures of me, over at Grandma and Grandpa's house. It is waaay past bedtime for both me and Mama, so we are just posting pictures tonight. We love you, miss you and can't wait for you to come home!!!
Love, Cam

Update from Egypt

Here are some more pictures from Tim in Egypt. His trip has been extended out at least another week, but he has been working the whole time (no more sight seeing!). These pictures are from around his hotel and from last week's adventure to some more pyramids.

There was a wedding going on here at the hotel so they had a whole bunch of spotlights going to celebrate. The band was really loud and they had it out in the main lobby on the 4th floor.

The Bent Pyramid at Dashur. They started building the pyramid and then realized that the ground was not stable enough to support the angle they were building at so changed the angle.

Dear Daddy: Week Two

Hi Daddy,
I have been meaning to write another blog entry but it was a busy week! On Monday night I had swimming lessons. It was so fun - I kept trying to get away from Mama and swim on my own but she wouldn't let me! Silly Mama, she doesn't know what a good swimmer I am. We had fun and I went under the water a lot! I also had a doctor's appointment on Monday. Mama was afraid that my ear infection wasn't gone yet, but it was! The doctor said I was so out of sorts because all four of my top teeth are all close to coming in. My poor teeth!! Also, on Monday, Uncle Matt came over - he is home from Costa Rica and he came to see Mama and I. He helped me with my bath and then read me a book before bedtime.

On Tuesday, Mama had a hairdresser appointment so I went over to Grandma's for a while. I played with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Matt until Mama got back. It was fun. On Wednesday it was a regular day, Mama and I just played and then I went to bed.

On Thursday though, it was a cool day - I finally got to meet Aunt Susan and Alex. Aunt Susan is one of our best commenters on this blog so it was great to put a face with the words!! It was cool because I got out of school early on Thursday. Grandma came and got me after lunch and I went to her house. We played outside in the yard and went for a walk, and I took a nap. Then Mama got there and we had dinner and played. It was a fun night.
On Friday we went to Mama's work party. I met lots of your friends and Mama's friends. Everyone thought I was very cute and smiley. I was a really good boy and I stayed up late. I even got to eat a bunch of oyster crackers, and I loved them. I walked around with Grandpa, and there were some people who recognized me but didn't know him. I am famous!!

Here are some videos for you Daddy. The first one is of me crawling like a big boy. Sometimes I still crawl on my belly, and sometimes I crawl on my hands and knees. I do both on this video.



This other video is of me giggling and laughing at Mama. She is so silly!!



I love you Dada, and I miss you lots. I can't wait until you come home so I can give you a big hug!
Love,
Cam
