Cameron's 9th Birthday

My "first baby" is 9 years old.  Kills me!  This has been a great year for Cam--especially since school has started.  He is much more positive and can really think and process things before speaking or acting.   He is so funny and has a very quick wit.   He understands sarcasm a little too well and we really have to watch how we talk "in code"--cause the boys just gets everything.   He is an amazing student and really enjoys school and his friends.  Piano is his bug-a-boo right now--everything in this boy's life has been easy, except piano.  It's very good for him to be stretched with taking piano lessons, but Chad and I have learned that we really do have lots of patience---since he's still alive and hasn't been beat to death.   It's amazing that he will finally learn and memorize a song and just go play on his own...so there's hope.    He adores his baby sister and when he's not teasing Spencer they are amazing little buddies.

We adore you Cam-Bam and are so glad you are in our family!

 

Grandma makes egg-free cakes (Hall pics still on Grandma's camera), but when the Loveridge's play we throw a few candles in an ice cream sandwich (yah, I rock!)

So excited for his lava lamp--and it has brought minutes of entertainment since.

Wee bit crowded in the Hall house.

And no birthday is complete without a rousing game of Hungry-Hungry-Hippos.
