What a blessing!

We are so blessed to have this sweet Cameron in our lives! He is such a wonderful baby. Of course he has his fussy times everyday, but still I swear he just does not cry that much and when he does it is just so cute. Last Sunday my Brody blessed his little guy. He gave a very powerful blessing. We are also so blessed to have Brody as a husband and father and a priestood holder. I am so thankful to be the wife of such an amazing man!
Cameron wore the same outfit that Brody was blessed in 30 years ago.




Today Cam is 8 weeks. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. Now I am counting down the days though until he sleeps thru the night. Taylor was sleeping 8 hours by 9 weeks. He is only going 6, so we're almost there. But I really can't believe how much he has changed and that it's already been 8 weeks since he was born.




He is smiling lots more everyday now. It is so fun to see him smile at me and Brody, and his sister. Man, this kid makes my heart just melt!

Little Sweet Witch!

Taylor was the only one who dressed up in our family this year. Me and Brody just didn't have time to do costumes. This year we went down to my parents house in Fruit Heights. We had a great time! Taylor was such a cutie in her witch costume. I loved to hear her say "trick-or-treat" and "Happy Halloween"! It was really fun too to see my sisters and all their kids.
Typical expression on Taylor!

Oh, my little Cam is such a sweetie. This was kind of a poor set up for a picture. I try!
Just two cute witches! Another typical face Taylor pulls for pictures.
All the grandkids, except Cam of course. Grandma's house is always the funnest!

Aimee, Aaron, and Addie came up too to go trick-or-treating with us. The girls were loving all the candy they got and I think finally starting to get the idea of going door to door for candy about when we quit!

Cameron's official announcement

Some of you will be getting his announcement via mail but I had to post how cute this announcement is. I worked with this lady at Cuddle Bug Announcements for Taylor's as well. She does a great job!

Sorry, finally some pictures... and TAYLOR's 2!

Surely you've all just been chomping at the bit waiting for some pictures of little Cameron. Sorry, I've just been lazy and enjoying relaxing while we hold Cameron all day! He is such a sweet baby. I feel like he is already so patient and mellow. He is so snugly too!

I can't believe he is already four weeks today. Taylor is such a sweet big sister. She just loves her baby brother Cameron.

So far I love being a mommy of two. Especially my sweethearts!
My awesome Grandparents. Cameron and Taylor's only Great Grandparents still here.
Nursery Pictures I finally got around to taking.

So Cameron really is a good baby. I am remembering some of the things that Taylor did at this age and in some ways they are similar like how Taylor was really gassy too so she would wake up after going down for a nap, before it was time to eat and I would try to get her to go back to sleep. But with Taylor I was a little more frustrated being a first time mom. Now I just expect it and know that he just has to burb. It is kinda hard in the middle of the night though, but that won't be for too long I'm sure. Hopefully he will be just as good of a sleeper as my Tay was and still is!
He definitely looks a lot like his daddy. He inherited his mommy's and daddy's dimple in his chin. I think he might have inherited his Grandpa Byron's blue eyes.

So my little Tator Tot turned 2 on Saturday! She was so stinkin' cute and funny about it. I just get a kick out of everything she does.
She looks a little like her brother. Well sometimes a lot, it just depends on the faces they are making in their baby photos. But this is Tay at two days old. These last two years have flown by. She is such a blessing in my life. I am truly lucky to be her mom. Happy Birthday Taylor Jean!
We had a pretty big day Saturday and I think she is still recovering today. Friday night my mom came up to sleep over because Saturday morning we went up to Logan to have pictures taken at Kiddie Kandids. Man was I glad my mom was there to help with Taylor while we got family pictures and Cameron's as well. All the pictures turned out so cute. I can't wait to get them all framed and in their rooms. Our family shot turned out really well too, I am so glad! So after pictures ( 3 hours later) we got home to finish getting ready for Tay's party and putting some toys together.
We gave Tay this 4 wheeler. Her grandparents got her a kitchen set with play food. Cousin Bryson got her Mega Blocks. And her cousins on my side of the fam got her a play dough set thing. We have been having tons of fun with her and all these toys. Oh, and we also got her a swing. I actually have been going to buy her a swing for awhile because there are no swings in Brigham City. But guess where we had to put it, over the dog run. It's hung on one of the beams in the kennel. Kinda funny but we don't have a big tree obviously so that was the only place. We'll move it I guess when we build a patio awning someday.
Taylor, I think feeling over whelmed, with her Winnie the Pooh cake.
Great Grandma and Grandpa Frandsen. She's got the best grandparents. My grandpa is so silly with her. They were playing babies together!
Thank you everyone again for making Taylor's birthday memorable. You might think she was spoiled with presents but hey, this kid was so bored with her toys before she really needed some things to keep her busy this fall and winter while we will be inside so much.
Love you baby girl!!!

Cameron James Baird

Here is the newest member of our family!

Cameron was born Monday, September 14, 2009 at 2:59 pm. It was such a wonderful day! I decided to be induced and that was at about noon on Monday and he was here three hours later! Besides the excruciating pain, he was pretty easy to get here!
We are all doing so great, especially since we came home Tuesday evening. There is no bed like your own right, so we couldn't wait to get home.

So proud to have a son!!!

I love this little man! He is such a good baby. Nursing like a pro and sleeping great (for now)! Oh I love being a mom so much.

We are so thankful for this sweet new spirit in our home. Taylor is doing great with him too. She loves her baby Cameron! We are so blessed to have two of the greatest kids!
Can''t believe we are a family of four!

Island Park trip!

Don't ya hate it when you get back from vacation or something and you don't really love all the pictures or the lack thereof that were taken? Even though we did not get some great pictures I thought, we still had a great time as a family of three!
I decided to potty train Taylor the week before we left and that all turned out great. She is so good, I can't believe her! Even at night she stays dry!!! I don't think I have time or patience right now to post all the potty training drama because I am sitting here having contractions and fearing that I may be going into labor soon. I'm not hoping this though actually. I would like baby to wait till after labor day but just in case I guess I need to pack my bags and finish a few things around here. At the doctor yesterday I was at a 3 and 60% thinned so the doctor said anytime. I was still thinking, oh I'm sure I'll still be prego in a week- till this morning when I lost my mucus plug. I know you love the info, but sorry.
So anyway, I guess really anytime little Cameron will be on his way:)
Now I better just post some pictures of Island Park before I get too far behind.
We left August 27th for a whole week. It was so great to get away and be up in the mountains at the cabin!








Guess I could probably thank all the 4 wheeling, walking, and cleaning of the cabin for putting me into labor- at least sooner than I would have maybe.
So, I am totally nervous. I am so stinkin' excited but I don't think I am ready yet to have this baby. But ready or not, baby is coming sometime soon.

She's 22 months...I'm 35 weeks!

My baby girl Taylor is 22 months old today. I can't believe how fast time flies by and that in a month she will have a little brother. Technically I have 5 weeks left but I'm planning on this baby coming early. Here's a few pics of Taylor recently:

This was a fun, messy project we attempted one hot day a couple weeks ago. I really wasn't feeling like going out in the heat and I felt so bad because that's all Taylor really ever wants to do is "Play Ouside". She is making the weirdest face here!

One Sunday afternoon out to my aunt and uncle Chubbs' property near Malad.

I was trying so hard to get a good picture of Taylor with her cute hair-do I spent forever on. This was at my cousin Luke's wedding last weekend.

Then here's just one of my big belly. I'm sure you enjoyed that!
I am getting so ready for this baby to come. I'm extremely uncomfortable already and I'm just dang excited to see him! Brody and I went to the temple the other night and he says he felt that the baby's name should be Cameron James Baird. I probably shouldn't doubt that inspiration he had but I just feel like I need to see him, maybe.
I almost have the nursery ready. I just have to finish making this crib skirt and window valance, oh and then I need to find a couple things for the wall at Tai Pan or Quilted Bear. So then I'll take a picture to show ya'll. But I feel like there is so much more I need to do before he arrives. Saturday I had this urge to clean the garage so I called Brody on his way home to make sure he would help, and of course he wanted to do that on a Saturday night. It felt good to do some "nesting" together!!! Guess that's not really nesting but there are plenty of other things I am needing to do in that area. Everyday I just want to deep clean my house but I feel like if I do it will all just need to be done again just before he is due.

What? 4th of July come and gone already!

When I think about having 10 weeks left with this pregnancy I feel like time is going slow but when I think about how fast this year really is flying by then it makes me grateful that I still have 10 weeks because we are not quite ready for this baby yet. Taylor did just make a major change last night though. She spent her first night in her toddler bed in her new "big girl" room!

She has been playing in there for about a week since I painted it and got it mostly furnished- except for a few girly touches so I'll post pictures later. Poor thing cried a couple times after she had initially fallen asleep at 9 o'clock so I went in there to talk to her and she would go right back to sleep. I felt awkward making the decision yesterday and I really did not think she would do this good. It felt way weird putting my baby girl in her new room last night. She is such a sweetheart!
Now I will be able to get the little boy's room ready soon. Yah, we still don't have a name but here's the latest we are mulling over: Jackson (Jack) Carl Baird, Travis Malcolm Baird, Cameron James Baird, Logan Carl Baird, Hunter James Baird, or Riley James Baird. But who knows, it could completely change again in a month or two.

I am starting to get so excited though for this little guy! Everything seems to be going perfectly too- even though I am in and out of the doctor's office in 5 minutes to hear the heart beat and I have not had an ultrasound for almost 3 months. But Baby should weigh about 3 pounds and be around 16 inches long. As for me, I'm just concentrating on Not thinking about the labor too much. All along I have said I wanted to have this baby without an epidural and now I don't know how I can get myself committed, especially since I am not taking a lamose class. So dumb that the Brigham City Hospital does not offer a class so I would have to go to Ogden. But I don't want to go alone anyway since Brody works nights. That probably sounds like a dumb excuse and I'm sure Brody could just take off a few hours once a week for 3 weeks but I still don't want to drive to Ogden again when I will already be down there every Monday for appointments.

Anyway, onto a different subject. I was going to post some pictures of the 4th of July. We had a great day! When we woke up we drove the truck down to Pioneer Park to leave it for the fireworks that night. That was a great idea! Then we went to the cute 5 minute parade in Willard. Then they put on a carnival thing and that was fun for Taylor. Man, she did not like to wait in line though. At least we caught some pictures at her happy moments:

First ride on a pony! Oh, she loved this so much!

First time on a real ride!





The Brigham Fireworks were awesome! We had a perfect spot too in the back of our truck with a mattress and blankets all snuggled up. Taylor felt pretty special to be up late and eating popcorn with mommy and daddy while we waited for the fireworks to start. She even stayed awake the whole time this year!
I really enjoyed the 4th celebration this year. And it was so nice that it was not too hot! I am so thankful to live in this free country and so thankful for the brave men and women and have faught or are fighting to keep our country beautiful and free! A special thanks to my cousins husband Andrew who just left for Afghanistan last week. We love you and God Bless!
