Extra Pics from Turkey Day

Just adding a few photos that Papa J took while he was visiting us!

Great pictures that I had to share. =)

Turkey, Pie and Cowboy Boots

These last few days have been super busy. My family drove with me from Lake Charles to Austin on Saturday, Thanksgiving on Thursday and lots of other activities in between. Mom, Dad, Mia, Aunt Jan, Cameron and I went to Wimberly, TX, to visit the used cowboy boot store. Within that store one can find cowboy boots from styles with the most garish combination of colors to elegant boots that were custom made 30 years ago but are still in excellent shape. All of us purchased a pair (except Mia, she wouldn't even try them on) and had a great time of it. Even Cameron was showing her Texas blood when we got back to Aunt Jan's later.

(We probably could have gotten her all the way in the boot if it weren't for that diaper)

I love this picture. It was taken at Bull Creek Park on the 21st. She's such a pretty baby! That's Papa J in the background taking pictures of the dogs in case anyone was wondering ;)

Ma-maw Dee holding the babe. That girl loves it when she's being snuggled.

And... this is Ilsa having discovered the baby chair. She barely fit, but hey, it was round and comfy and her bed was in the wrong spot. We're all pretty amazed that she fit, but she didn't seem to mind the snugness of it, haha. Goofy animals. I know I have a picture of the Stash kitty in that same chair hanging around somewhere.

Early Turkey Day!

This past week (from Wednesday to Saturday) I went with my Aunt Jan to Lake Charles, Louisiana, to visit my Grandmother and cousin Ginger. We had a good time, Cameron did wonderfully on the 6ish hour drive, and I got some neat pictures. On Saturday, my parents, sisters and niece and nephews drove down to meet us and have an early Thanksgiving lunch. The food and company were great and those homemade pies that I helped Aunt Jan with were to die for! Ahhh, I can almost taste that lemon meringue again already. Glad we're making another for Thursday. =P

Cameron is a bit fussy after all of the excitement, but who can blame her? For such a little thing she was a trooper. On to the photos!

This is her saying, "Hold me or I'll cry! I mean it! I'll cry!" though not nearly as intimidating as the baby from Spirited Away.

She's pretty cute in her puppy hat and gloves and little striped hoodie. This is after a walk outside when it was a chilly 50 degrees at Gramma's house.

My nephew Noah! A mere 5 months older and 10 pounds heavier than Cameron and what a sweetie he is. I love having a picture of Natalie's youngest boy, but it's a shame Mia didn't snap a few of Kailie and Christopher while she was at it.

Pawpaw Errol and the baby girl bonding. Aww, sweet isn't it? =p She took a nice nap with him too. I can hear Alan calling her a traitor already, haha.

From left to right, my mom (Ma-maw) holding Noah, Mia and Gramma Goldie. They were in the middle of conversation and ignoring me, hence the complete oblivion to me and my actions.

Jolly Jill

Leg Warmers are back in style! Pirate style. Arrr, matey.

Shiny New Toy

I just recently got a new toy, an iPhone, so I've been having a lot of fun with the camera. And the web browser. And the iPod. Ah heck, I've been having a lot of fun with the whole thing. Alan says it's my "BFF" and should get grafted to me and Don and Chad both call me a nerd (I still say it takes one to know one!).

I *think* she was eyeing a dog.

Yep, that's what she was doing alright.

Who can blame her though, I mean, really?

The time, it flies

Little Cameron is 6 weeks old today. She's smiling, working on her laugh and hand-eye coordination, holds her head up with only a little wobble -- she's growing, and quickly! Already she's over 10 pounds (can really tell when she falls asleep and becomes dead weight in your arms). And look at this, her first real nap in her crib; asleep there for over half an hour and counting! She does like her crib, too, which is nice. I can lay her down there while she's awake and she'll occupy herself by looking at the colors on the bumper. The only drawback is that the Stash kitty thinks that it's his bed so I have to shoo him away (more like, pick him up and toss him out of the bed) every time I walk into Cam's room. Ah well =)

Aieee!

As my friend Chad said, "She's being eaten by a dog!"

Oh, the insanity!

Two posts in one day! I just felt the need to share Cameron's new furniture (2 of 3 pieces) and a shot of the big girl herself sleeping in her new bed. Yeah, couldn't help myself.


Soooo the picture of the baby in her new bed isn't so flattering. Don't mind the big vacuum in the hallway in the first picture either, can thank the dogs for that actually. Crazy beasts and their acorn fetishes.

She knows how to work it!

Acamera that is. And as much as a baby can work a camera. Please excuse my finger in one of the pictures. Oops. =P She's five weeks old already! Time is flying so fast. Or maybe it just seems that way because I'm so tired, hah. Silly little girl thinks she's going to miss something by sleeping so wants to stay up all night. That means that at midnight I'm trying to rock a squirming, squawking little bug of a girl and nodding off while doing so. C'est la vie! It all melts away when she flashes me a smile though, so it's all good. =)
