As many of you may know, we celebrated Cameron's first birthday (Oct. 20th) a couple weeks ago. My Mom and Grandma came to visit for the week, and we celebrated with just us and a small "party" of sorts. He ate chocolate pudding and cake for the first time; he loved every bite! It took quite awhile to open gifts because he would want to play with each new toy (even the clothes), so Bryant and I pretty much opened all his gifts for him trying to lure him from one to the next :) After dinner, it was cake time and he was so excited when he saw Bryant come around the corner with cake topped with candles. When we were done singing (which I don't even think he noticed we were doing), Bryant took the cake back to the kitchen to take out the candles and cut it up. Cameron was devastated! In the end, we discovered he loves sweets.
Following his birthday is Halloween, which enhanced Cameron's love of sweets! He was a cute little pumpkin and went to about a dozen houses. He loved every minute of it, especially when they handed him candy :) It was like he already knew.... By the time we got home, he was getting a little sleepy; but then we dumped out his bag of candy on the floor and got sooooo excited. We picked out a few we could break up and give him smaller bites of (like Reece's cups). Every time he got a bite in his mouth he would smile and make his "mmmmmmm" sound! So cute :) We put the candy on top of the hutch next to the dining table so now every time we sit down to eat he refuses the food we offer and points to the candy. He grumpily eats most of his meal and eagerly waits to see if he gets a bite of candy, too. So cute :)
We have lots of good things going on right now it seems. Many of you may already know that Baby Robbins #2 is on the way, due April 15 also known as Tax Day. Regardless of the day Baby will be arriving, we are very excited :) We have been trying to help Cameron understand, but he seems to be pretty clueless. They will be about a year and a half apart. Cameron loves playing with other kids and I think he will really enjoy having a sibling to play with all the time :) We find out in a couple weeks whether Baby is a girl or boy! We are very excited, needless to say!
Other than all that, there really isn't much going on in our lives. Bryant is working hard all day, and Cameron and I play all day :) We are going to Indiana for Christmas to see a bunch of my extended family. Cameron's cousin, Theo, is about 7 months older and it will be lots of fun for them to play together! But for now, we will just sit back and enjoy the Southern Fall :)
