Why do pics end up backwards from the way I download them? Anyway... Cameron really likes to play with the tags on my pillows, so I must admit that I haven't cut them off yet. It just keeps him entertained so well! He can hardly be left on the couch any more though since he's rolling and wriggly lately, so I imagine I'll cut the tags off when I decide to keep him off the couch!

I think this cutie looks awfully chubby here!

no pics of James!

James doesn't really like to get his picture taken, so in most of the pics I have of him, he's either looking away, or like this....

I think it's pretty cute, Cameron was playing with James and smiling but when he saw the camera, he just stared at it and waited for the flash. The week before he started his new job, James took a week off work to study. He ended up sick that week, so it was a good thing he'd already planned to be at home. When James leaves in the morning Cam is still asleep, so he really enjoyed having Daddy there when he woke up, as you would be able to tell if Cam had kept his smile. Hmmm, James doesn't know this pic was taken, since he was asleep, but he won't mind. :-)

new jobs and allergies

James started his new job as a roofing inspector this week. Right now he's training with two other people. I'm not sure how long it will be till he's out on his own. I hope he likes it once he is! Victoria got a job as a hostess, her first day was monday as well, so the house is full of new scedules and peoples getting used to their new jobs. Mine is the same as usual - babysitting too many hours each day. Now I have to bring Victoria to work and pick her up with two little ones in car seats. Then I have to do it again when her break is over. Tatum's car seat has to go in and out of the car continually so that her mom can pick her up on her lunch break etc. ahhhh, so annoying! We have to figure something else out. I hope that eventually I won't babysit any more. I feel like now that I have my own baby, I don't really feel like having someone elses child make messes in my house, and take up my time, I want to take care of my family more. Hopefully that doesn't sound rude, it's just true!!! Oh well.

Last week James was sick, and he's still trying to get over it. Cameron kept getting a stuffy nose, and I've noticed that if I take allergy meds then he's better, but every time I skip, it gets worse. I guess he gets some of it through nursing. I don't like to be on stuff, and so I always live w/o it (never mind the dark circles around my eyes from allergies), but now I'm thinking I should take it every day for Cameron's sake. But is there anything else to do? I would hate to have Cameron taking stuff for allergies when he's a little one still. Has anyone else had this problem?

Speaking of Cameron, he just woke up from a nap and I hear him singing/talking in the other room so I'd better get going now!

Missing Ev...

So I put up this picture of Evelyn and Amelia. I think I've been missing her more lately since she's expecting and I'm realizing this is going to be the second time she'll have a baby since moving. What a difference from when she had Amy and we lived in the same house!

Love you Ev!!! (and Jett and Amy and Aaron)

an old picture

here's a picture taken right before I had Cameron. I look at it and laugh before I was so huge. :-) I put this one up for people like my mom and gramma.

taking a walk today

before and after

Even though this will no doubt be uninteresting to some of you, I'm to putting up a before and after picture. I've been wanting to add some color to my ugly brown living room, and finally was able to get some pillows, they helped sooooo much! So, before...

and after!!!

Cameron matched the room, so I put him in the picture!

Don't the pillows help a lot? I was so pleased! I think I'm going to try to get blue candles eventually. By the way, a new JC Penny was opening, so I went there and they had the pillows, buy one, get one for $1, plus i had a $10 off coupon so that made the pillows even nicer. ;-)

Feeding Cameron

A couple days ago I was feeding C. and he was having a great time.

ROAAAARRRR (yes, he roars)

Then he sneezed. I had to take a picture...

since so many people have been bothering me...

I now have a blog (obviously). Is everyone happy now? Mercy came over here last week and set it up, so now I have no excuse. I guess it's a good idea since I have family and friends who might want to know what I'm up to.

Cameron is 5 months now, so i tried to take some good pictures of him. These are my favorites.

Now the Grandmas have pictures!!!
