We are amazed at the bond that Gracie and Cameron have developed. His eyes light up every time he sees Gracie. There are days when she doesn't want to be bothered by him, but he still continues to follow her around. He LOVES to play in her room.



We had some great weather this past Sunday so we heated up the pool and let the kids go swimming. We have some water babies for sure.


Sunday morning we found Cameron standing in his crib looking over the rail. I know I have said this before, but having had a girl first, I can see that boys are wired differently. We lowered his crib as far as it could go. He doesn't seem to mind it at all. He rolls around and peeks through the rails.


Huggies box anyone? We had so much fun playing with this Huggies cardboard box. It brings back so many memories of when Gracie was a baby.

This is a good transition into the next pictures. Cameron plays with everything EXCEPT his toys. The vacuum cleaner is Cameron's new friend. It's funny that he chases it around.


Playing drums with a tin top!


Our little princess....


Look at those teeth? This is one of the few pictures that we've been able to take that shows his teeth.


Here is the newest addition of the Mueller Family. Well, not really. This little bunny lives around our block. We see him in different yards each day. This day, he came into our back yard. Gracie was so excited she named him "Fudge". I just thought it was a precious moment.

We're Back.....

It has been an extemely busy month. It's hard to believe it'll be April next week. I don't know if I can sum up all that has been going on in one post. Cameron has been crawling, crawling, crawling. That boy will NOT sit still. The past couple of days, he has started to let go while he's standing up. I'm not sure if he's quite ready to take off walking, but I think he's testing the waters.

I truly believe people that told me boys were "built" differently than girls. Gracie was a completely different baby than Cameron. She was more mellow and calm and he is the complete opposite.
Here are few pictures capturing the crazy weather we have been having. Snow in March? Swimming in March?

This is too cute. Cameron has officially "outgrown" his walker and bouncy so we bought him his first car a few weeks ago. He loves it! He holds onto the steering wheel so tight, you can see his knuckles turning red. I get teary eyed when I see Gracie pushing her little brother around. I still remember very vividly the first time she rode in her little pink car.

Easter.....Easter was cold this year. Gracie had such a wonderful time painting eggs (she won't eggs though) and hunting for eggs. The Easter Bunny left her and Cameron an Easter basket at the front door. Each year gets better and better. Maybe Cameron will show a little more interest next year.

Havin' Fun!

Everyone has been feeling well this past week. It had been awhile since we've been able to have a little fun. Here are a few pictures of the kids enjoying the beautiful weekend days last weekend!





















We went to cousin Natali's Birthday party last Saturday, of course Gracie had a blast. She even scored one Strike on her own.
Snow in March?

9 Month Checkup!

We took Cameron to the Dr. today for his 9 month checkup. I was so proud of our little one. The nurse came in to draw blood and pricked his little finger; Cameron just squirmed a bit, but didn't cry. When they came back to give him his two vaccinations, he cried for only a few minutes. He weighs 23.075 lbs. and is 30 1/4 inches long; he is in the 95th percentile. He's a growing healthy boy despite his illnesses lately. I don't want to jinx it, but he has been sleeping through the night for the past 3 nights!

He has 2 new teeth that have broken through so he now has 6 teeth! His biggest milestone this week - (today) CRAWLING. He hasn't quite mastered it yet but he moves across the floor like a little worm. He's definitely picked up on moving his arms and legs, but he just hasn't figured out he'll go faster if he gets on all fours.

I have to admit when I saw him crawling I was got a little sad. He's going to be mobile soon and those moments of cuddling will be limited.

Where does the time go?

Busy,Wonderful, Relaxing Weekend!

After a couple of days of not feeling well it was definitely nice to have a wonderful weekend. I think both kids might have sensed I didn't feel well because they were on their best behavior all weekend. They played well together all weekened.

I find it amusing how entertaining a balloon can be! Cameron was entertained for quite some time. He laughs histerically when Gracie tosses the balloon up into the air. Who needs to watch TV?


Gracie had Cousin Brandon over for a sleep over. It was great. Although, having 3 kids to tend to really is a lot of work. I will have to disagree with the people who have 3 kids and act like it's no big deal, it's definitely a big deal - it's a lot of work. I was pooped!


Bathtime was a blast though. Watching all 3 in the tub was again, entertaining.


Silly faces? I'm not sure but that's what they claimed these were.

I don't think we'll be able to do this much longer, but I love his mohawk!

Since none of the kids had really had a nap, they were pretty exhausted. It was nice having all 3 asleep by 9:00 p.m. I would be extremely happy if I could do that every night. I'm not going to say more so I don't jinx myself.
Brandon had to show us he is becoming quite the Guitar Hero guru, it's really funny watching this 4 year old jam to songs like "Surrender" or "Message In A Bottle". He's really good though.

9 Months!

Cameron is 9 months today. I know I say this a lot, but where does the time go? He loves to jump and swing. Tally put him in his jumper this morning and he started jumping and laughing. He's learned how to make himself swing in the jumper. He gets enough momentum from jumping then picks his little legs up and just swings. It's so adorable. My favorite new thing is dancing. He hears music and starts dancing. We started saying "rock and roll" and he bobs his little head around - it is TOO cute. Once I figure out how to post video (if I ever do) I will post for you to enjoy as well.

Happy 9 month birthday sweet little boy!
