Michael has been on me to publish these pics for 2 weeks. So finally, here they are….
We went to Noccalula Falls a couple of weeks ago and rode the train around and petted the animals and played on the playground. Jackson got to wear shoes for the first time, since I refuse to buy shoes until my children walk. Camden had a blast and except for a few shrieking fits that had all other parents judmentally staring at me, so did Jackson. by the way, Jackson was the one shrieking, not me.

Yesterday, Jackson went in for his 15 month checkup. He is in the 60% in height and the 25% in weight. He is my tall, skinny fellow. Cam at the same time was 1″ shorter and 3 lbs heavier.
Height: 31-1/2″
Weight: 22-9 lbs

conversation today between Cam and me
Me: “Camden, are you stinky?”
Cam: “No, Mommy, I not” (said as he turns over and slides towards me with his butt in the air) “Smell me.”
As previously discussed, Jax is now walking. As a result he is forever falling on his head. I don’t remember this many bumps and bruises on Camden… Well, today he slipped on a paper towel and went down face first. I thought he was going to have a bloody lip, but oh, no, he instead had a bloody nose and a bump in the middle of his forehead. Good thing he is not going to daycare or we might be cited for child abuse.
Here is Cam’s scary face that he has been spending a lot of time perfecting in front of the mirror.

This past weekend Jax took off. We were visiting my sister and he got so excited to explore his cousin’s bedroom that he started walking around. He has been taking tentative steps for a few weeks now, but now he is walking around everywhere and he is so proud. His brother is very proud as well. Cam keeps saying, “Look! He’s walking. He’s a big boy walking!”
Here is the videographic evidence.

As some of you may recall, Jax got a train table for his birthday. Mike did the incredible woodworking and recently my Mom finished it up by illustrating the top. The boys love it and it is getting a lot of use! Here are some photos of Mom’s beautiful work.

As I have mentioned we went to visit my sister over Labor Day weekend. We had a great time. Camden loved playing with his cousins and his oldest cousin, Seth, was especially patient and played with him tirelessly.
My wonderful brother-in-law grilled out yummy burgers, chicken, and sausage for us and my sister even cooked – birthday cake for me and breakfast casserole. It was all delicious and the fellowship was even better.
They have recently gotten Guitar Hero Band version and so we all had an opportunity to jam as well. Mike decided that he has no talent as a drummer and better stick to the guitar. Camden participated by dancing enthusiastically to the music. Jackson even tried his hand at the drums.
Here are some pics from this weekend.

During our visit, my nephew stated his desire to be famous. Well, this is the best I can do for him right now…
INTRODUCING WILL… He has a big voice!

I am suffering from blog clog. I have a lot of things that I need to blog about, but I can’t seem to get them to form cohesive thoughts in my head. We are heading to my sister’s for the long weekend, so I am sure I will have stories to tell. They have recently gotten Guitar Hero band set, so we are packing our guitar and preparing to jam.
I also need to blog about my wonderful birthday, the beautiful train table that Mom painted, potty training hits and misses, etc, etc, etc. I know that all of you are waiting with great anticipation. I will let the intensity build a bit more, but keep checking back. One of these days I will probably go on a blog streak.
Thanks for hanging in there with us!
