So today I was supposed to host a play date for my 2 sister-in-laws, my friend Erin and all their little girls, but due to the weather, we had to cancel. Besides, I would rather cancel it than for any of them to risk driving in such terrible conditions. I suppose it was kind of a blessing as I was feeling quite tired from such a busy weekend. I had run 13k on Saturday morning, then had Cameron's baptism in the afternoon and then we were godparents to the twins on Sunday morning, followed by a birthday celebration at Jane and Jeff's place. Cam must be worn out from all the excitement too since his naps today have both been over 2 hrs each. I'm waiting for him to wake any moment.
So as I am new to this whole blogging thing, I thought I would try it out and see how it goes. I've been inspired by all the different blogs I have been reading from friends and family and thought since I love to write sometimes, why not keep a blog myself. With being a new mom, I have so many great stories and memories to share. Like this one. Cam is now 9 months old. Boy how time is flying by. This past weekend, we had him baptized. I must say he did an amazing job and held it together. His parents on the other hand, not so much. We actually felt like a fish out of water. For both being brought up Catholic, James and I really had no clue what we were doing up there at the altar. From me signing the cross on Cam's head the wrong way to James holding Cam's whole body (bum first) over the water - what were we doing?! At least we made the whole congregation laugh. It definitely is one for the memory books and this certainly marks another milestone in our life. We had the support of our family and friends there with us and it makes us recognize that with all them standing with us by our sides, we really are blessed to have them in our lives and to know we can count on them. Cam is such a lucky little guy and he is going to grow up with so much love and support. As I sat feeding him today, I thought, "I want to be the best mom possible to this little guy. I'm going to love him, support him and always be there for him."
I wish I had started this sooner as there have been so many great memories and stories since first becoming a mom, but I am hoping to start capturing them all now in hopes that someone will enjoy reading. Cam is 9 months old and is starting to walk along the furniture so he should be walking any time now. I'm already chasing him as he crawls all over the place. His smiles and laughter are contagious and I melt every time he hugs me, kisses me, says momma or giggles. James and I are truly lucky to have such a great little boy to call our son.
Until next time,
Care
