The Stats are in!

Cameron and Billy went for their well check-ups shortly after Cameron's birthday. The visit went well even though Billy had to get some shots. I absolutely LOVE our pediatrician. She is SOOO good. Cam was a little nervous to be there, but she put him at ease right from the start. She called him Dr. Cameron and let him help her check out Billy, even letting him use her stethoscope. Cameron was convinced he was such a good doctor he thought they were going to let him give Billy the shots.

Anyway, the boys are healthy and growing. Just as I suspected Billy hit the 16 pound mark. Four months old and 16 pounds and 1/2 and ounce to be exact. Cameron only weighed 19.5 pounds when he turned one, so they're very different in this regard. Billy was also 26 inches long which put his height percentile higher than his weight. I don't remember Cam's exact stats, but he broke 30 pounds weighing 31 I believe, and was over 40 inches tall.

Unfortunately, they didn't stay 'well' for long. We all got some virus that eventually turned into other illnesses: worst sinus infection I've ever had, Billy got 2 ear infections and pink eye, and they never would give Wes or Cam antibiotics even though they had the same symptoms as me. I can't complain too much though because we made it through the winter without anything major. Although I hate being sick in the spring, especially when it lasts for 2 weeks and counting!

He's Rounding Second and Sliding Into Third!

Well, he already slid into third. Cameron had his third birthday in April. I can't believe he's that old already! Where does the time go? I took him to the store to choose the theme of his party. Fully expecting him to choose Diego, or Sponge Bob, I was very surprised he immediately settled on a baseball party. Cameron loves baseball. We had the family up for a barbeque, cake and ice cream, games, baseball cards, and cotton candy. It was a lot of fun. The only thing I didn't do this year was make a fancy cake. Our oven wasn't working at the time, so the cake wasn't high on the priority list. Cameron had a blast and was totally spoiled with all the presents.

Cameron has really grown up this past year. We do a little preschool with 6 other moms and rotate houses. Just since the beginning of preschool I've seen him really come out of his shell and be a big boy. He's such a boy. He wants to hunt with his Dad, ride horses with his Dad, pretty much everything with his Dad. If I let him outside for two seconds he does things like fill our garage with gravel, or start hiking up the hill in the sage brush with his dogs, or completely cover the dogs with dirt. Give him his dogs, or a shovel, or rocks, or his little dump truck, and he's happy for at least an hour. We gave him a big kid bike (with training wheels) for his birthday, and he already zooms all around our garage doing figure 8's. I have a feeling he's going to want the training wheels off before the summer is over. He's growing up WAY too fast!

WICKED

Completely, totally, utterly AMAZING! I was absolutely mesmerized the entire time. It was one of those experiences that leaves you thinking..."I WANT to do that!"..."I want to be on that STAGE!"..."I will do anything to do THAT!"...And then a few short seconds later reality sets in and you realize...I don't sing like Donna Vivino...I've never done a musical-though I'd like to...even if it were possible to make it into a cast...the traveling...the boys...the late nights...my headaches...

Then I totally laugh to myself over my train of thought. There are so many wonderfully different roles to have and places to be in this world. I think the secret is to be happy with the one you have, and I must say, for me, mine is pretty GREAT!
