My Little Bookworm

When your Uncle Richard was a baby I would read to him. One of my favorite memories, when he started bringing the books to me. He would even ask me to sing along as we watched Disney movies. But, that’s another story. I loved reading so it was fun for me. I would sometimes get in trouble with your Great Grandma for reading in bed with my Mickey Mouse flashlight (yes, baby you can have a Mickey Mouse flashlight).

While I was pregnant, we started your book collection. I couldn't wait to read the classics! Dr. Suess, The Bernstain Bears, Little Critter or any book for that matter. When we first started reading to you, you just listened. You’re not so quiet now.

You bat at the books, “read” along & my new favorite, hold the books. We usually read at bedtime but anytime is a good time to read if you ask me.

So I grabbed "Rainy Day Friends" & I think this may be your favorite so far. You were laughing which made me laugh & squealed every time Patches the giraffe was on a page. She’s so pretty.

I love that you hold the book now & asked Daddy to take a picture. It was a wonderful surprise to see he took pictures of us. He’s the best.

My little bookworm, I can't wait for you to bring the books to me.

It's amazing how much my love can grow for someone so little.

all my hugs & kisses

Mommy

P.s. Auntie Julia, I included all the pictures for you. It's like you were there! ;)

Da-ddy

Your daddy loves you so much.

When I was pregnant I told you all the time, "I found the perfect daddy for you. I can't wait until you meet him." & it's so true. Everyone can see the endless love he has for you. He never complains about changing your diapers, giving you a hug when you need it or waking up at midnight, 2 & sometimes once more at 4 to give you a bottle.

I still remember the day we found out you were a boy. The room was so dark I couldn't see his face but the nurse said, "oh daddy is crying" he was so happy. Then the day you were born, daddy cried again. Always tears of joy, my love. To watch him beam with pride while you "whistle", stick your feet in your mouth or kick those little legs fills me with so much love.

It's almost Fathers day. His first Fathers day & I'm a nervous wreck.

I want the day to be perfect.

I want his gifts to be perfect.

As perfect as you are, as perfect as daddy is for you.

I've come up with a few ideas for the day, a few presents in mind but the one that I feel will make the most impact is a picture. Miss Val took these pictures on our last family Cali trip. She put the whole thing together & I think it's just perfect.

I'm sure this will make those happy tears come out again, it did for Mommy.

Thanks again Val.

Cameron's Fan Club

I'm sure your fan club existed before, but it was declared the day we brought you home.

I posted this picture on myspace & captioned it "Cameron's Fan Club"
Then poof! Your club was born. So many people have joined. Friends, Family, even strangers off the street. Just one look at those dimples & they fall in love instantly.

One of your biggest fans, Miss Nicole.
She has been friends with mommy for a long time (9 years!). She's been so excited for your arrival (even before Mommy & Daddy were married). She has two little boys of her own Cooper & Chase so, before we left California she gave you a bunch of clothes, blankets, socks, even little hats. We were so sad to say goodbye but promised to stay in touch. Well, not only did we keep that promise but she sends you packages full of goodies. You've received jar food, jammies, a silk blanket w/football to hold, safari blanket, diapers & cute sport socks. She also sent a cute "Peas on Earth" onesie. Miss Nicole wanted us to send a picture of you in it. Well, at the time it was way too big. But now, it fits like a glove.

So without further ado, thank you Miss Nicole! We love & miss you very much!

You're so very loved, monkey.
