Cameron's First Christmas Pics!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here they are...the pictures of my little turkey you've all been waiting for!

Needless to say we had a Wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent the day with the Roof family and had so much fun! Yes we dressed Cameron up as a Turkey! I'm sure he won't be so thrilled about that Turkey suit in 15 years or so, but for now, it was too cute to pass up! Cameron loves to hang out with his Uncle Dewey, Aunt Tania, Uncle Jono and Aunt Missy. But most of all he loves playing with his cousins Emma & Adelyn. And for the record...Cameron is not a Clemson fan!

What A Weekend!

It was a big weekend for the Little Roof Family. On Saturday, we headed to NC to have a "Pre" Thanksgiving dinner with Leanne's family. Although Cameron enjoyed his first taste of dressing, potato salad, and broccoli casserole, as you can see in the picture, he especially enjoyed hanging out with his Aunt Amy and his Uncle David!

After dinner we headed to Lincolnton to visit my Maw Maw Taylor. For those of you who don't know, Maw Maw Taylor, she is and has always been a very important person in Leanne's life. She helped raise Leanne and is responsible for a lot of Leanne's cooking skills! This was the first time Maw Maw and Cameron got to meet and I was so excited! Maw Maw cried because that's what Maw Maw does, but it was a very special visit and I can't wait to go see her again!

Finally, on Sunday, Cameron went to support his cousins Adam & Aliyah at their Cheerleading Competition! He had such a great time. He loved all the excitement and music, and most of all, spending time with his cousins!

The News Is Out...

Well i'm pretty sure everyone has heard the exciting news that Jamie and I are going to have another baby! Little Baby Roof #2 is due June 20th, which will make baby and Cameron a whopping 17 months apart...woo hoo! We are very happy! We wanted our children to be close together and we have been very blessed. I have been very, very tired but not sick, and I will take tired over sick any day! Cameron is certainly keeping me on the go and making sure that I get my pregnant exercise. He is cruising everywhere, which in babyland means he pulls up to things, and walks while holding on. He still only has two teeth and we are patiently waiting for more. He has started to babble all the time! His favorite words are DaDa, Bye Bye, and Book. I get an occasional Mama...but not very often. When I try to get him to say Mama, he says mmmmbaba. And speaking of Book, that is his latest obsession. He will sit on your lap and not move for as long as you will read to him, or until you lose your voice reading "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear". It really amazes me how attentive he can be. Well I hope this catches everyone up a little bit on my little family. Here are a few random pics of my silly little monkey. More to come...

Happy Halloween!

For Cameron's first Halloween, he decided to dress as a skeleton! We kept it simple this year and just wanted to have fun. We didn't go Trick-or-Treating, but the Nana's came Trick-or-Treating at our house! Nana Roof sent Cameron a card with money in it, and Nana Pat brought a goody bag filled with treats! What a great Halloween!

The fun begins at Roller Sports...

So as all of you probably know, my wonderful Mother-In-Law has owned Roller Sports Skating Rink in Taylors, for about 27 years now. Jamie spent most of his childhood there and I think he had skates on the minute he learned to walk! Looks like Cameron may be headed down the same path. We usually stop by the rink frequently to visit Nana (and to snatch a soda from the snack bar). Cameron loves the bright lights, all the attention, and of course, visiting his Nana. I just can't wait to get him in his first pair of skates...but I guess we should get him walking first. As you can see, after a visit to the rink, Mommy & Daddy surprised Cameron with a new toy...of course...he was more excited about the box than he was about the toy inside!

Fall For Greenville

On October 12th, my little family headed downtown for the annual Fall For Greenville Festival. Jamie and I enjoy this fun festival of food and music every year, but this was Cameron's first year. Cameron met his best friends Kylee, Talon, Davis, and Fisher down there as well as his Uncle Jono and Aunt Missy! We all had so much fun! It's such a treat to have great friends who have little babies too! Jamie and I love playing with all the kids! And we always have a great time with Jono and Missy. Jono took over stroller duty and pushed Cameron around all day, except for the times when Missy snagged him and stole all his sugar! Can't wait to do it again next year!

A night in the life of Leanne Roof...

It's Monday night, I'm exhausted from a fun day with Cameron. It's 9:30, so Cameron has been in the bed for about an hour and a half. I grab a finger nail file, the TV remote and try to enjoy some quiet me time. Then suddenly, I hear a wimper from the baby monitor. It quickly grows into an all out cry. I head upstairs hoping a blankie and a paci will get him right back to sleep, he probably just had a dream. After a few minutes I decide he's not going right back to sleep, so I take him downstairs. I strap him in to the handy ole bouncy seat to see if he will go back to sleep before I grab some motrin for those sore little gums. About 5 minutes passes and I haven't heard a sound. The coffee table is blocking my view of him so I peek below the top of the table to make sure he's asleep, and this is what I see.....
