Bathtime!!

This past Memorial day weekend- we went to Longview to visit my brother and his wife. Cameron did great although he didn't appreciate being made to sit in his carseat for 3 1/2 hours:) And, he let me know he didn't appreciate it- by screaming the entire way to Longview and promptly smiling at me everytime I stopped the car to check on him and make sure he was OK...little stinker. I was giving him a bath in the kitchen sink and he just started giving us a show so I told my brother to go grab his camera...and here's the results...enjoy:)

The Next Chapter

Well- the cat is out of the bag. This Oberle family is going to be moving to the Katy area sometime this summer. Clif has accepted a job that was a great opportunity for him. I do not yet have a job. For those of you that don't know ( if anyone actually reads this thing), Cameron has something called Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. This condition means that he is blind in his left eye- his right eye seems to be normal at this point. There can be some associated things with this condition so we have been going to countless doctors to make sure my baby is OK:) It has been a rough couple of months but we are getting through it. Cameron is just perfect to me and I know God gave us a very special little boy.

I am not yet sure what my job situation will be - I will likely continue to work in some capacity to keep my licenses current and so I can stay current with everything. We'll just have to see.

This Sunday will be my first Mother's Day and I couldn't be more proud to be Cameron West Oberle's Mom. Here's to you little man!!

6 months!

Cameron turned 6 months on the 16th of this month. WOW! He is such a big boy- and I mean that figuratively and literally. We went for his 6 month well check and he is STILL in the 100th percentile for almost all of his values. At 6 months he:
- is eating several solid foods including sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, (tried peaches but he didn't like them), peas, green beans, and prunes
- has tried drinking from a sippy cup but mainly just bangs it around
- loves his bouncy saucer- he just jumps and jumps and jumps...
- babbles- he just usually makes noise and some consonants come out sometimes
- watches Yogi go by...and hopes Yogi doesn't lick him in the face
- eats ~6oz 5 times per day
- LOVES Clif and I:)

I also planted my garden several weeks ago- it has almost doubled in size. However, I think the leaves now have a fungus from all the rain we have had- so I treated it yesterday- here's hoping I don't lose everything
This was the day after I planted it- like our windbreaks? haha

The Easter Bunny!!

... a week early. We came to Houston for the weekend to celebrate our 5th anniversary. Actually it was back a couple of weeks ago but I was working so we put off a little vacay until now. We stayed one night at a downtown hotel called Hotel Icon which was awesome!! We had some great dinner at Brennan's and celebrated in style. Where was little Cameron? Oh, he was with Mimi and Pappy for the evening:) And...he did great. He loves to see us but certainly doesn't mind for us to leave him either.







Saturday morning, we met up with them at the church Easter Egg Hunt. Cameron sat around and looked at all the pretty eggs. But he did get to try out his new stroller and sunglasses..

It was such a great time, and he got to meet the Easter bunny!! Whoop!

20 weeks

Isn't he adorable?!?!? :)

Clif is leaving on Tuesday for a work seminar thing in Houston so we will be all by ourselves- I will find out how hard it is to be a single mom for a few days. Not looking forward to it.

Another one already?!?

Cameron got his first tooth the same day that he had his 4 month well check- that was... February 17th I believe. Well this evening he was just jabbering away and doing this funny thing with his tongue. I felt his tooth...and lookee there....another one!! Right beside the 1st one. If I can get the little guy to stay still long enough I will get a picture. They are both on the bottom, his middle two incisors. And he's so happy about it...I wouldn't have even known he was cutting a tooth had I not stuck my finger in his mouth!!:)

We went to Lamesa this past weekend to celebrate my Grandma Vogler's 87th birthday- she knew we were coming but she didn't know we were going to have a little surprise lunch for her. We ate a lot and had some good cake. She is such a special lady- I hope we have many more years with her!
