8 Months Old Today!

Today Blake turned 8 months old! Wow! Where has the time gone?? It has been an absolutely fantastic 8 months with our son. He brings such joy to our lives and we could not imagine life without him! It is amazing to witness how fast a child changes and grows in such a short period of time. He is such a little character now! I love seeing his little personality shine! Although sometimes it's screaming at me! LOL! Just yesterday he started this weird jaw thing. He kind of tenses it up and then moves it up and down! Hard to explain but it's funny!!! I think maybe it's one of those things where he's discovered it and will do it for a few days because it feels neat! Today we visited with Grandma Bev and Aunty Carmen at Blake's cousin Colby's baby shower! Colby is sure growing fast and is a real cutey!! On Tuesday Blake and I start a new Baby Laptime session. I've been continuing to sing the songs to him over the holidays! His favorite are Zoom, Zoom, Zoom and Criss-cross Applesauce!! Then on Thursday we are starting a Strollerobics class at the YMCA. We took Strollerobics during the summer and it was outdoors, but this one will be inside. We're not registered for swimming or Salsa Babies this time round but we will go to the occasional Water Babies class at Fountain Park in St. Albert because it is drop in. I know I am going to miss Salsa Babies, but I'm thinking of taking a Salsa Burn class (for Mom's sans baby)! Take care :)

Rolling Machine!!!

Wow! Just yesterday afternoon Blake was still playing the "put me on my stomach and I'll roll to my back" card and now he's rolling around the family room!!! Amazing how fast they change/learn! Yesterday evening he rolled from his back to his stomach and seemed to not mind being on his stomach and now he's rolling back and forth to move around and get to his toys! Just a few days ago I noticed on his baby monitor when he was sleeping that he was sleeping on his side which he's never done (unless I've put him that way) and now I think that was a precursor to rolling around! I'm thinking that he may begin sleeping on his stomach or side regularly now! It's very exciting to witness these changes! Also, those 2 top teeth that have been giving us a run for our money are coming out finally! One of them has broken through his gums and the other is extremely close. Then they'll just have to come fully out, but I think that is less painful! Anyways, just had to "diary" this exciting day!!! Crawling news next ... LOL!

1st Sleigh Ride & Last Day of 2007 :)

Today Cal and I took Blake for his first sleigh ride!! He got a sleigh for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa Smith!!! It was sooo... much fun! He was so cute during the ride, thanks in part to his adorable snowsuit from Grandma Smith! At times he had this look on his face like he was thinking, "You guys are so weird. Why are you so excited about this?" We got a few smug grins though! It was colder then we expected. The Weather Network said it was -9 outside, but it sure felt colder. So we walked to the lake near our house, took some pictures and walked home!

On another note, today is the last day of 2007! WOW! What a year it has been! It has definitely been one of the best years of my life! I've often said that, but this year has certainly been fantastic. We have so much to be thankful for and are so blessed! We are looking forward to 2008! Who knows what the year will bring!? Best wishes to everyone for a healthy, fun and love filled 2008!

Love The Cameron's
