Happy 1st Birthday, Cameron!!

Believe it or not, Cameron turned one year old today!!! We had a really great day, all starting at 5am, thanks to Daylight Savings Time. Cam chose to wake up earlier than he usually does, then take into account that we turn the clocks back an hour, and we were up before the sun! I guess Cam was just excited about his big day. Here is a picture of Mama and Cam, exactly one year to the minute after Cameron's birth.


We had Cam's birthday party today. The party was held over at Nana and Papa's house, since our house is not big enough. We had lots of people come to the party - from Massachusetts was Mimi and Grandpa, and Auntie Cathy; from Rochester was Omi and Opa, Aunt Susi, Ed and Michael, Aunt Linda, Uncle Chris, Ben, Nicholas and Jason, Amanda, Jeff, Jaime, Bridgette and Abby; and from Syracuse was Nana and Papa, Uncle Matt, Tanith, Josh, Autumn and Owen, Bonnie and Braden, and Uncle Chris, Patrick and Joe.

Cam did a great job - he ate lunch like a champ and had a blast playing with all of the kids. He did really well opening his gifts too. He spent time opening each one, looked at the gift and quickly discarded it as he was given the next gift. And Cam's first taste of cake - he LOVED it! He started out slow, tasting the frosting and trying to figure out what it was, and then he just dug in. It was hilarious, he did quite a number on his little cake.

Here are a few pictures. I am going out of town this week to CA, but I am hoping to put up a couple more posts in the next week anyway.

Hey, this is pretty good!!Dig in!!

No, I mean really dig into the cake!
I am going to be on a sugar high for days.
Right before telling us he was "All Done", Cam made sure that the remaining cake was good and smushed.

Happy Birthday to our big boy! We can't believe that you are one year old!!! We love you Cam. Love, Mama and Dada
