Cameron's First Birthday

Cameron celebrated his first birthday at Grandma & Grandpa Staloch's yesterday. Surprisingly, he wasn't very interested in eating cake. I would have thought that after being deprived of sugar for a whole year, he would have consumed the entire cake himself. However, he could have cared less. He was very excited to play with the boxes and paper from his presents and he also liked his new Winnie the Pooh trike. As you can see in the last picture, he didn't want to wear his birthday hat. He must have seen what I looked like wearing one.

Fall Fun

Grandma & Grandpa Rydberg came for a visit last weekend and Tracy, Cameron, and Grandma went for a walk to Aunt Dar & Uncle Paul's. Cameron enjoyed the nice weather and played in the leaves.

Kisses for everyone

Recently Riley Schmidt came over to check out Cameron's new wheels and judging by the pictures, they also played Doctor. It appears they had a good time, but unfortunately, it looks like Cameron is two-timing her with Tuttie.

A few random pictures

Here's a few random pictures from the past few days. They depict a typical week in the life around here. The first picture shows Cameron, Riley & Stella. They met for "coffee with mom" before story time at the Red Balloon. I'm not sure what was so interesting in the fountain, but they seemed to think it was pretty cool. In the next photo, Cam is testing out his first pair of Nike's that cousin Jay bought him when he was born. As you can see, tubby time is when we experiment with new hairstyles. Finally, rainy days are fun when you've got the right gear.

GO PACK GO!

I think this picture is pretty much self explanatory. Cameron was pretty excited his favorite team beat the Vikings.

Cameron's Vacation

It's been awhile since our last update, but it's been a busy couple of weeks. Tracy, Cameron, Linda, Kyle, Kent & Leslie went to Prairie du Chien the weekend of Aug. 22 to visit Tracy's grandparents. They enjoyed their visit and especially Dorothy's good cooking and Ken's incredible garden. Cameron enjoyed playing with Uncle Kent and as you can tell he really enjoyed "exploring" the fireplace as well as everything else. Shortly after they got back, Tracy and I went to San Franciso for a few days. Cameron had a vacation of his own and enjoyed staying at Grandma & Grandpa Rydbergs house. Unfortunately, he hasn't shared any pictures of his vacation with us, although we heard there was plenty of excitement due to Tuttie's encounter with a skunk.

Elvis or the Count?

Here are a few recent pictures of Cameron. In the first picture you can see the new face he has been showing. We think he looks a lot like Elvis. The second shows him standing next to the "play yard" on loan from the Olson's. (Thanks Rochelle) And finally, the third pic shows Cameron's dental progress. He still resembles "The Count", but his middle two top teeth are on the verge of making an appearance....hopefully.
