Mr. Fix-it!










While making lunch today, the house got strangely quiet.  Just moments ago Cameron was in the kitchen asking for a cheese sandwich and now he is gone.  I call out to him.  He answers me, telling me that he is "fixing something".  Curious, as any parent would be, I go find him.  Yes, he is "fixing something".  He has a screwdriver in his hands and is unscrewing the screws on the hinge of our bedroom door.  He is collecting the screws in his toolbox, all neat and tidy.  I tell him what a helpful boy his is.  Why am I encouraging this, I don't know.  Maybe he just to cute or creative or something.  Anyway, I ask my helpful boy to screw the hinge back onto the wall so the door won't fall off.  Ever so happily he relies, "Ok Mommy, I'm glad to help you out".   Well, now isn't that a relief!

Naked Time!







Well, what can you say.  Naked time is naked time!  Audrey loves it when the diapers and clothing come off and she is able to kick, roll and romp in nothing but her birthday suite.  You should see her move around with such energy and excitement, it's too cute!

Bath Time Together!






Cameron has been asking for days now if Audrey can take a bath with him, "It will be FUN mommy" he says.  I can't find the bath seat that I used with Cameron (I'm sure it's lost in the garage somewhere) so I have been putting it off plus Audrey is usually in bed before Cameron even gets into the bath. However, tonight instead of cleaning Audrey up after dinner, I stuck both kids into the tub.  Still needing the bath seat, I held her and Chris took pictures.  Cameron was extremely excited and so was Audrey!  Audrey splashed water with her hands and feet, laughed at Cameron spitting out water and tried to grab hold of toys floating next to her.  Cameron liked having a "friend" in the tub with him and enjoyed sharing his toys with his sister.  He is so nice to her and loves making her laugh, what a great big brother he is.

Cameron's Bike!



Grandpa Dennis, Grandma Sherrie and Uncle Ken have been searching and looking for a bike for Cameron well before Christmas (they wanted to give him one for Christmas).  This Spider-man bike was a free find on Craig's list and Cameron thinks it is just perfect!  He and Grandpa Dennis spend a morning together working in the garage, using tools and putting on training wheels.  Cameron has quickly learned how to use the bike including steering, breaking and riding up and down hills.  He rides his bike almost everyday.
