Lions and Tigers and Pink Bears....Oh My!!!

Since Grandma not only knows how much the Weer Family loves to take walks, but is also aware of the exceptionally cold temperatures here in Enterprise, she provided Ms. Camdyn with the fluffiest, warmest, and perhaps pinkest infant suit ever made! The thermometer was pushing 23 degrees Saturday morning, so we decided to try our new outfit on for size. Apparently, it served its duty...not only was she all smiles, but she ended our stroll sound asleep, snug as a bug in a rug! 8)

While We Are in the Mood to Cuddle

Dad is taking advantage of all the holding his sick little girl is wanting these days, and using the time to explain the finer details of college basketball......less than a week until the first Tar Heel Tip Off!!!

A Lot of Not So Good Firsts

Life has been a little rough for Ms. Camdyn in the past several weeks....thus the lack of blogging. After a week long trip to Portland, where we learned the hard way that hotels and babies don't mix, we were hit with an extremely nasty virus. In four short (despite seemingVERY long) days we have unfortunately reached several not-so-fun milestones:

First Fever over 104 degrees
First Trip to the Hospital
First IV in our little arm
First huge Fear for Mom and Dad

I am happy to report that we are VERY slowly on the mend....if we could just get our little bug to drink something life would be great! Here is a recent picture of Camdyn that helps Mom remember what her busy little girl is all about when she is actually well!

Up, Up .... and Away?!?!?!

Seriously, could she be growing up any faster!?!?! Yesterday while paying bills in the office, Camdyn was happily emptying her book basket onto the floor of her bedroom. Suddenly....silence. Knowing this usually means trouble, I hurried around the corner to her bedroom only to find my little baby STANDING!!!!!!! She had the biggest smile ever on her face and was obviously extremely proud of her ability to pull herself up onto her exersaucer! Although we had been kneeling for a few weeks now, I had no idea this would be happening so soon! 8( Needless to say, we are now back to the drawing board with the baby proofing of our house.....

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish.....Gold Fish?!?!?!

I know it is a bit early, but Ms. Camdyn hosted her first (maybe annual?!?!) Halloween Party yesterday afternoon! All 13 of us dressed in our scary best and headed across the street to the retirement home for a little early trick-or-treating. I am fully aware of my bias, but I like to think our little goldfish stole the show! Not a very traditional costume, I know, but I saw a picture on-line and just couldn't help putting my own spin on the idea! I am still going to try to get a video of her "swimming" across the floor........but here is a sneak peek at the beginning of our Halloween fun!

Just a Little Overzealous

While my original thoughts centered around the "more the merrier" concept, I will begrudgingly admit, 13 children under 8 is just a bit over-the-top for a house pushing 1,100 square feet. However, I did learn several cardinal rules of kiddie Halloween party hosting:

1. Mom's must stay. Merely dropping your toddler off is in no way, shape or form an option....it is a vital necessity.

2. Glow necklaces are not such a great gift. While the kids loved each moment of glow-in-the dark fun, our teeny tiny bathroom was not a fan of 10 kids jamming inside to see how they worked in the dark!

3. Rain forest Jumparoo's are apparently not only for infants.....why craft, eat or play games when you can squeeze 3-4 year old bodies in a seat claiming a maximum capacity of 18 pounds. I have some great photos for Fisher Price arguing false advertisement.

4. Kids dressed as super heroes, really think they are super heroes. If I got hit with one Spidey Web or Karate Chop yesterday, I was hit with 100.

5. Parties don't need an ending time. The point at which to leave became glaringly obvious when 2 fights, 4 kids in tears and 2 minor injuries all occurred in the same 30 seconds!

Thanks Camdyn's little friends (and moms) for a great time!

Momma's Little Super Star

With Dad out of town and Mom's biggest work event of the year, Camdyn had to be a superstar for 12 hours on Friday. I am proud to say, I have the best kid ever.....and she got the gold star to prove it!
