Smile..or blow bubbles..whatever!

If you are ever feeling obnoxiously happy and want to share it don`t! After I wrote about how I was so happy I could throw up I actually did! Chris and I came down with a little virus Thursday night and we still have not left the house. As soon as I shut off the computer and pulled the muffins out of the oven I began to have chills. Than came the nausea and fever and the aches and pains which have lasted a full 48 hours. Camden seems to be fine. In fact, he loved that all I wanted to do was stay in bed and snuggle. Because I was confined to bed, I was able to notice something about Camden though. He kept moving and struggling and trying to hit me with his head so I laid him flat on his back. He than rolled to his side! after that he just struggled and struggled to roll over. He looked like a bug on its back trying to flip over. I helped him over and than he was on his tummy. I could tell he was really working hard trying to get somewhere. I watched this for a couple of minutes until he started crying from exhaustion. So All that being said, I think he is going to roll over soon! He is definitely trying to go somewhere!

Playing House

I promise I do more than sit around and take pics of Camden all day. ( : Even though that is what our blog would reflect. I guess I have had a little bit of writers` block lately. I will try to keep you updated. I love my new full time job as Mommy! I`m currently baking banana chocolate chip muffins and drinking hot tea while I write. Camden is taking his nap and our house is quiet. All I hear is the 3 little girls next door playing. They are so cute! It is times like this that I can actually sit back and say that I`m truly happy. I feel so blessed to have a wonderful husband who works hard so that I can be at home with our sweet healthy baby during the day. I truly love pulling out my big pink mixer and putting on an apron and making something sweet. Just last week I made cookies while Cam sat in his bouncy seat. I pretended that I was on a cooking show and explained to Cam everything I was doing. He listened very intently and smiled and cooed at me while I popped them into the oven. Am I making you sick yet? ( : I know..I know.. There are very few friends that I can admit my happiness to because I`m afraid that they will find my joy annoying and somewhat nuts! Don`t get me wrong, there are days when nothing goes right and not one nice thing comes out of my mouth, (just ask my mother), but today I find myself in my element. Like when I was a little girl lost in play. I love that I can just hold my baby for hours and know the day is ours. I love planning and dreaming up different activities for him to learn and discover his world and mold him into the person that he will become. I love that I have a job where my creativity is appreciated. I have never really been happy with any of the jobs I have had or very enthusiastic about school but, this is one job that I`m truly putting my heart and soul into and finding my reward to be greater than any amount of money. I know not everything is perfect all the time and an hour from now I might be singing a different tune... but today, in this moment, I choose to be obnoxiously happy. So to all the Barbies out there who are working hard to make a happy home for their Ken, do not feel ashamed of your happiness. For now let`s enjoy our blessings! Let`s play house!
