He sure does have an interesting way to watch tv and relax today.  Just looking at this makes me slightly dizzy.  Cameron watched Little Einstein’s for quiet a while like this.  Bless his little heart haha.  We went to the mall today with his Aunt B, Nan, and Poppop…and a trip to the mall wouldn’t be complete without some sort of drama.  We fell flat on our face, bloody nose and all.  I think his nose may get a little bruised…but I could be wrong, because a few hours later, he still looks okay  Lets hope so

We had our offical BIG ultrasound yesterday.  Everything looked great.  Babys heart rate was 143 bpm and baby is about 11oz now  Measuring on time…

Now…The Krauss House will be welcoming….

I have to say…3 years old is by far the most frustrating yet most fun and rewarding age yet.  The mouthy attitude, the yelling back, the whole “I’ve turned off my hearing” phase is just aggravating.  But this imagination phase that has come to light is just so amazing to watch.  We go through days where we swear we are Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty Villian), we swear we are Mary Poppins, we swear we are Spiderman…like today (though I was JUST informed that his name is “Cameron John Krauss…Spidermans AlferEdo” (alter ego) lol).  So ladies in gentlemen, meet Spiderman “In Action” (as Cam likes to say)….enjoying Pinnochio the Movie…. 

I am SO glad I was finally able to grab this shot.  I love walking into his room in the morning and seeing the various ways he’s sleeping.  I love the fact that “school dog” is hanging on the side rail, his head is pushed up into big brown dogs belly and small brown dog is on his chest protecting him.  Everything about this picture just describes him 100% about what we need to sleep.  There is a pile of stuffed animals next to his bed that we tend to switch out every night too…right now he has Austin and Max (Max and Ruby) stuffed in the corner behind big brown dog  I just LOVE this

1 – How was every one’s 4th of July?  Ours was wonderful.  We started off the weekend with Mommom’s birthday celebration, than a cookout at Nan and Poppop’s house and ended the festivities with fireworks at the Philadelphia Park.  They are amazing!!!  Cameron LOVED them but was whoooooooped.  We didn’t get home till 11pm.  I am amazed how even though he wasn’t in bed till 11pm, he still manages to get up at 6:30am ready to play and go for the day.  Doesn’t the kiddo know the importance of sleep???  I am hoping baby #2 will inherit his Aunt B’s narcoleptic habits.

2 – M.J. memorial service today   This whole thing is just so sad.  I feel like part of my childhood has been lost.  I need to go dig up my old Michael Jackson doll packed away somewhere in my boxes of barbies.

3 – I am super pumped up.  My favorite summer TV show starts this weekend.  Big Brother!!!  YAY!!  Anyone else a big sucker for reality tv?

4 – July 22nd is the “Big” ultrasound appointment.  Any guesses on what we are having this time?  I will have to post a poll the week of the ultrasound.

5 – The obsession with Mary Poppins continues.  We sing “spoonful of sugar” on a daily basis.  Try clicking this link to hear him belt it out   http://tweetmic.com/p/ot4ng618myc

6 – Cameron is also now convinced that my kitchen area rug is his very own sidewalk chalk painting.  He pretends he jumps into it like Mary Poppins.  He calls me Jane and grabs my hand and jumps on to the rug and than proudly announces we are on a beautiful countryside.

7 – Handsome dude   Is it possible to have another one JUST as cute as Cam?  I don’t know…

8 – Major props to the hubby.  He has put up with my last minute night time cravings.  I now have a freezer filled with Tastykakes and that just makes me happy

9 – Booo…I’ve ran out of things to chat about….I made it to 9…better than last time right????
