Just chillin' out

Here are the boys just chillin' out in the afternoon sun.
Cameron having some 'air time' while sharing lots of giggles with Rory.
 



 
If only they were always this happy, quiet and calm - my days would be bliss - but I loved the few moments of peace and still love watching Cam and Rory be silly (and loud) together.  I guess our house will only continue to get louder and louder and crazier and crazier as the boys grow.

Hello everyone - I'm 4 months old now!!
 
I love long feedings and snuggles with mum, jumping up and down in my exersaucer, tummy time with Rory - I also love being awake all day long, just so I don't miss out on any fun. I weigh 14.5 pounds and I'm growing out of some of my 6 months clothes - I'm such a big boy with the best gummy smiles for miles around! If I smile lots and with some giggles I can get away with anything I want - just don't tell my mum.


 

 
Rory is an awesome big brother.  He always makes me smile and he gives me kisses. I love watching Rory play trains with daddy and when they play outside in the snow.  I can't wait till I'm just a little bit bigger so I can do all those things too!!
Sorry for the lack of photos and updates, but we've had some technology issues. Hopefully we'll be sorted out soon!!
Later skaters - keeping smiling, Love Cameron xx

Happy Holidays!
 
Another round of holiday celebrations have come and gone with many memories to last for years to come. We have had a quiet, but busy Christmas and New Year - trying to fit in as much visiting with good friends and family. We also had some well needed family time with Cam's first Christmas.  Rory was a little concerned on Christmas morning when he saw our tree with the presents and proceeded to say, "Santa made a mess."
 
 
 
 
 
 


Cameron celebrating his first Christmas morning in style!

 
The brothers just chillin' out.

 
Bath time in the big tub with Rory and fun foam shapes.
Our little superheros!
We wish everyone the best of health and happiness for 2013.

Yee haw!

A very lucky Rory recieved a fabulous early Christmas gift from some dear friends.  A handcrafted wooden rocking horse made this little cowboys day. An absolutely beautiful piece of work that will be in our family for years and years. Thanks Ron and Debbie!
 

 
Rory searched for our cowboy hat to set the scene! Yeehaw!

 
Cameron was very content to spend some time on his tummy chatting away to himself and ohh the smiles!

Getting ready for Christmas...

We have been enjoying some milder weather after some snow and cooler temperatures. Lindsay and Rory have been working hard on building the "Snow Mountain". Check out these videos of Rory sledding.
 
 
 
Rory has also been getting into the Christmas spirit:
Rory enjoyed painting some pasta shells and threading them through some ribbon. He proudly decorated his little tree with it. 

Rory is becoming more aware of being good for Santa Claus and is always willing to give mum a hand with the cleaning!  He is an awesome little helper!!
 

 
Getting the tree ready for some lights and decorations.  Watch this space for an updated version of our Christmas tree.
 

Making time for some Christmas baking - Rory is hard at work rolling out some cookie dough and using some festive cookie cutters. 






 




A rare quiet moment - Rory is having a cuddle with little bro Cameron.

Cameron's first trip to the mountains

A day in the mountains...
 
 
We packed a picnic and headed west for a day in the mountains - Cameron's first big road trip. It was a chilly day with some flurries, but we bundled everyone up and made the most of sharing our favourite spot in the mountains with Cam.  After a fun car picnic with the Christmas tunes a bopping, we headed out for walk.
 



 
Rory loved trampling through the knee deep fresh snow, making a clear path for mum and Cam.
 
 
A windy pic with daddy.
 

 
 
 
"Are you coming mummy? Are you and Cam okay?" A very caring big bro was always checking on the rest of the family. Although this usually followed with, "Mum, please stop taking my picture!!"


 
Cameron's first photo in the mountains - he is in there, all bundled up warm and snug, snoring away.  It was quite a bumpy ride, but there was no complaints from inside.

 
Cam didn't mind his view of the mountains from inside the warm car. The first trip of many adventures into the mountains as a family - fun was had by all and we were all tuckered out by the end of the day.
 
 
Rory even took a rare still moment to take in the magical scenery.
 
Nothing beats a day outside in stunning surroundings to refresh the soul.
