Okay so I missed last week...but I was on vaca...so don't hate me too much. I really plan on blogging a lot more...just been SUPER busy with Ger's travel.


So...................10 on Tuesday...


1 - Cameron has been talking with FULL sentences. It's crazy listening to him. Kinda makes you stop and think "Woah...Did he really just say that?!" He's super clear too now. Yesterday I asked him for a reason on why he did something...He started his answer with BECAUSE...because?!?! When did he learn that word? Cameron also now likes to ask if you are "Escited" (excited) about something. "Mommy, you escited?!" "Oh Mommy...I escited yay!" He's really picking up SO Much.



2 - Cameron did great on the flights back and forth to Florida. Bless the poor woman sitting next to Cam on the airplane ride home. He wanted her to play with him the entire time. She just sat there with a smirk while her eyes were closed and he kept touching her to see if she was "wake" and when she would look at him, he'd gasp in excitement and say "mommy, shes awake! Wook!" Cute...



3 - 2 words...SUPER CAM!





4 - So Ger has been working on this thing called a Shock Trial...its very cool. Navy.mil posted a picture of the ship he was working on and the test they did...how cool is this?! And yes...Ger was ON the ship when this explosion went off!!!!!!!!!! (I take no credit for this awesome photo...it's some really nifty neato navy photographer)

5 - I am thinking about doing holiday mini-sessions...but not sure of the interest anyone would have. If you are interested or know anyone that would be, drop me a line...you can contact me through my website or the contact me area on the side bar.

6 - Anyone wanna explain why kids shoes cost as much as my shoes? Seriously...$50 stride rite shoes...it's driving me batty...especially since my kiddo has wide feet and those shoes are hard to come by unless you shop at stride rite. I missed the local buy one get one 50% off sale. I think I will venture to the outlets to see if I can find a pair for the fall.

7 - I asked Cameron what he wanted to be for Halloween...thinking he had NO idea what it was...what did he say "PIDERMAN!" I was hoping for maybe a pirate, something Disney like, I don't know...but the kid kept screaming about spiderman. Looks like I'm gonna have a spiderman for Halloween this year.

8 - I took Cameron to the beach while we were in Florida. Talk about euphoria! Giant sand box and pool. NO FEAR...seriously...just ran right into the water...a little too far for my liking too. He LOVED jumping the waves. I am super impressed how well he has been with the water this year.

9 - I am again bored with Cameron's selection of bedtime stories. We read every night and I'm really starting to get sick of Llama Llama Red Pajama, Goodnight Moon, If you give a mouse a cookie, and Pigeon wants a Puppy. Anyone have any other good suggestions? We have TONS of books...but I'm bored. If I'm gonna do all the reading, I should be able to stay entertained too right?

10 - So I have a goal...at the end of the summer, I am going to take all the pictures I took THIS SUMMER and make them into a nice hardback book. Than I will continue to do the same thing in the Fall, than the Winter, than the spring, and so on and so forth. I can never remember to get prints made and than when I do, they just sit around the house. This way they are all made into a nice book and complied nicely. Now the test...do I follow through with this??? I'll let you know when I get it printed lol.

Cameron will be the next Olympic star haha. Little dude LOVES to swim. He does SO well swimming too. Jumps right in all by him self, swims from deep end to shallow end with JUST the bubble arms on, and now knows to keep his mouth closed when doggy paddling. He could swim allllll day if you let him. Definitely gets him nice and tired for nap or bed time :) He had SO Much fun swimming down in Florida and now of course in Nan and Poppop's pool. So cool to see how much he has learned (swimming wise) this summer. He went from being the kid who was scared to be let go, to jumping in on his own.

Hello!!!!!!!!  We are here!  Just got back from a mini vacation.  Lots of sun and fun in Florida with Family :)  I'll post more stories later, but for now...my view during the flight...

All is well now at the Krauss House.  Daddy is home.  We surprised Cameron when we picked him up early at daycare.  Ger waited in the backseat of the car while I grabbed Cameron from daycare (which by the way...when I went to go pick him up...He was wearing a bright pink and gold tu-tu from daycare...they said they have a picture and Im dying to get it from them)...I open the back door of the car and Cameron was just in shock about daddy being back there...it was just the best reaction from Cam ever.  "Daddy!  You in the car!  Daddy in the car!  Daddy, you in the car!!!"  Just the best.
