July Fun

Just a few pictures of our recent activities.

Cameron has learned to kiss, say hi & bye, wave and blow kisses. He is so stinkin' cute!

He also loves some good cuddle time, which is greatly appreciated since most of the time I am having to pull him down off of some high perch.

My parents got their first rain since January while we were visiting a few weeks ago. Since it is in such high demand, we set out buckets to catch and collect all that we could for the days ahead. Connor didn't mind helping position those buckets.

Connor got to attend his very first real-deal big kid birthday party. It was at a local gymnastics gym. He had a blast, as you can see.

For Christmas, Matt's aunt gave Connor a subscription to Highlights magazine. I was skeptical because the sample he opened on Christmas was of no interest to him. As a matter of fact, the first 3 months were of no interest to him. However, in March or April we turned a corner and I'll tell you what, this boy LOVES his "mazagine." He gets so excited when it comes in the mail. He will sit and read it for 15-20 minutes at a time. It was such a creative gift and I hope we continue to receive it year after year.

This child NEEDS some dress up clothing. He is getting so creative. That is a clear drum on his head that he wears around the house calling it his helmet. I also got the boys foam swords at Hobby Lobby recently, which Cameron proceeded to eat a good portion of on the drive home. Anyhow, Connor LOVES it. I really think it has done wonders for his imagination. He pretends he is slaying the dragon (although sometimes there are hippos that need slaying too) and he even rescues princesses.
