The Little Comedian

So today at lunch Cameron decided to identify where everyone sits at the table (creatures of habit... it's always the same).

Cameron: "Cameron's chair," as he reaches both hands behind him awaiting my applaud.
Me: "Yes, that's Cameron's chair. Good job."
Cameron: "Mom chair. Dad chair," pointing to our seats respectively. Then he gives me a cute little grin, and points to the chairs next to each of our chairs. "Grandma chair! Grandpa chair!"
Me: "Good job!"
Cameron: "Grandma, where?" I think at this point he was hoping I would say they were in the office just waiting to pop out and surprise him.

Needless to say, he loves to skype with the grandparents. And if it were up to him we would hang out with them everyday :)

Ellie Nicole Robbins

Little Miss Ellie finally arrived! She was born on April 11th, 2011; 10:12am, 7 lbs 15 oz, 19.75 inches long :) She arrived in perfect health, though a little bruised after such a rapid appearance (it only took 3 hours! Boy am I lucky!). I am doing great as well :)


She is a very content little lady. She eats great, sleeps well, and cries very little! And of course she is awfully cute! Cameron is still not sure what to make of her, and he seems to be having the hardest time adjusting to our new life. He seems to think he has been replaced and doesn't understand why he isn't the center of attention anymore :( He is a great helper still and loves to give her kisses! He also likes to replace binky in her mouth whenever she makes even the slightest peep. And he likes to look at her and watch what she does, though he seems to get bored and just wishes she would play with him!


We are looking forward to the summer and all the warm weather! And hopefully a big yard for us to play in!

Cameron and his little sister to be

As of this week, I am 30 weeks along. I can't believe it is February already! It is fun to get all the little girl stuff; as much as I love all the boy stuff, the girl tights and shoes are awfully cute :) Cameron doesn't really know what is coming his way, but I know he is going to be a great big brother. He loves to help around the house with the dishwasher, laundry, unloading groceries, and everything in between :) He is becoming quite the climber and is starting to attempt jumping. His dancing and singing are my favorite! He is teething right now but deals with it pretty well until it gets close to nap/bed time. Poor guy! We have been working on the vocab and he loves to talk all the time! Some of his favorite words are dog, car, ears, and bird. He loves animals, but almost every one is either a dog or a bird :) His new favorite thing is to walk around the house humming and plugging his ears. Then he stops, unplugs his ears, pauses, giggles, and does it all over again! Or he sits by the speakers when music is on plugging and unplugging his ears while humming, talking, and laughing. Anyway, we think we have finally decided on a name for the little one, and we are super excited for her to arrive :)
