Caden's party and David 8 mos update

We went to Birmingham the past 2 weekends to visit and celebrate Caden's 3rd birthday! It was great to get to spend so much time with everyone and get to see Rere, too!!

Here they are playing doctor

 Caden's bounce house... BIG HIT!

Presley wanted to be a mermaid, then changed her mind to a pirate princess. Since the mermaid costume I was attempting to make didn't look all that much like a mermaid, I was ok with her changing her mind.

 Charelette did such a great job on the party. They had a treasure hunt, which Presley loved!! She's had a treasure hunt several times in our house this week reenacting the one from the party.  

 My sweet man chillin' in the pool during the party.  

 He was so beyond tired after playing all morning... he fell asleep in grandmom's arms during the presents. 

 Presley has started packing some things during our trips. When we went to Dallas, she snuck in her glass slippers and Belle dress. When we went to Birmingham, she packed her glass slippers and Barbies. On the way home, she laid them all out.

Cameron's schedule has been great the past few months.  We've been really lucky and spoiled getting to spend so much time with him. David just loves to watch him and play with him... I have a feeling these two will be quite the pair when he gets a little older.  He just turned 8 months and has changed a lot. He's finally on a good nap schedule (although his naps are before and after Presley's...gotta work on that).  He's sleeping really good at night- going to bed around 6:30. I think I spoke too soon last time when I said he was sleeping through the night. That lasted about a week. He's back to waking up around 4am, eating and going back to sleep till 8:30. I might be able to soothe him back to sleep or let him cry it out, but since I'm trying to pack some weight on him, I just feed him. He's still a very easy-going baby. He loves to jump in the jumperoo and loves to play with anything that Presley is playing with. He has this funny teradactyl voice that we all mimick. It even scared one of his little friends, but he does it when he gets excited. It's hilarious to hear him squeal like this. I think he may have a bit of a temper... he sometimes gets so angry when his toys don't cooperate how he wants them to. He's almost crawling... he will lay down and scoot pretty good across the floor. I think he'll be crawling before we know it. He's starting to pull up on tables, chairs, etc. He can get to a sitting position from laying and this is often how we find him in the crib when he first wakes up.  He sleeps on his tummy most of the time. The past few naps he has been sitting up and just falls asleep and slumps over.. it's so pitiful and I moved him once, but he keeps falling asleep like this. I'm trying to get brave and sneak in and get a picture of this...

 He loves swinging at the park.

 He wanted that hair dryer while the Care Bears were getting hair and makeup done by Presley.

Presley and Cameron washed my car this weekend... she loved getting to help!

 We've been spending lots of afternoons pulling out the baby pool, water table and sprinkler. She can play out there for hours and David loves the baby pool and table.

 And finally...everyone knows how much Cameron loves Dunkin Donuts. Well, they love him too! He traveled so much in his last job, he used to know the staff at the Dunkin in the DFW Airport and they knew him.  Well, Cameron and Ms. Carolyn from the Columbus DD see each other probably 3-4 times a week. This was the first time she had met David, who she apparently had heard a lot about. This was also my first time meeting Ms. Carolyn.  She is sweet and was so excited David let her hold him. Let's hope there is a Dunkin wherever our next stop is or I don't know how this family will make it...
