At 1 week old, Cameron celebrated his first 4th of July!
My Mom came out for a week and a half to help out. I could not be more grateful for that help. Mostly she took care of Mack so I could get used to having a new born again. Man I forgot how little sleep you get and how exhausting it is to have a new born!

The quality of the pic is not great. But my 2 younger sisters also came out to visit and help and my older sister with her 3 daughters lives right here by me! They all came to meet the first boy of the family.

Every time Mack looks at her brother she gets happy and starts to giggle! We are just trying to teach her boundaries and how to be soft. She wants to love him like she loves us and it does not work so well!! lol This is quite the experience, having 2 kids so young, but it will get better!! Right??!

Better late than never!!

Cameron Reed Hopkins was born June 27, 2011 around 6:00pm. He weighed 8lbs 9oz (which is exactly the same as Mack's birth weight) and was 21 inches long. A healthy baby boy!

Proud father!

Tired Mother!

Mackenzie was so excited to see her baby brother! She already loves him so much already. I am biased, but I have to say that I have 2 super cute kids!!

Home from the hospital and both excited and nervous to start this new stage of life.

Apologies

Sorry I have not posted in a while. This whole 2 kids thing is kicking my butt. I will have to do some major catching up sometime soon.

Dress up!

I was going through clothes and organizing Mackenzie's room, now that she is going to be sharing that space, and came across some fun outfits. These are things I would never dress her it, but I thought they would be fun for dress up. My neighbor was over at the time so we got her son involved!

Little model pose! She is better at walking in my heels than I am!
He loved it!!! I have to say, he makes a very cute little girl!!!

20 months

My little girl is 20 months and going to be a big sister in under a month. I cannot believe it. She is going to be a great big sister! As you can see, she already loves to push her dolls around in the stroller. Let's just hope she does not treat her brother the way she treats her dolls!!
I had to get pictures today because this is basically my new favorite outfit of hers!

Out climbing the stairs. She was annoyed because I kept telling her to look at me and I was interrupting her climbing!!

Hangin with Dad!

We went out and got Travis an early Father's Day present. He has been wanting a bent bar and some weights for years. I finally gave in. Mack was just as excited about it as Travis was!

The two of them were getting a good workout with morning!
Of course she wanted to do it herself. It was so cute watching her try to mimic everything Travis was doing.

Mackenzie loved having her Dad read books to her. When he is home she never brings books to me to read, she always wants Dad to read them. I am totally ok with that! It is so fun to watch them play. One of Mack's favorite things to do is to dance with Dad. They go pretty crazy!

Random

Just a couple random pics!!

Mack must watch her mom give dad lots of massages because she sat right behind her friend and started rubbing his back!! lol Travis feels so picked on right now because now that I am in my 3rd trimester he only gets about 1 massage a week. Before he was averaging 4 massages a week. What other man ever gets that?!!
I watched my niece the other day and I thought they looked so cute chillin' on the bed drinking their bottles together! Yes, Mack still has 2 bottles a day. Not because she isn't ready to be done, but I love the convenience of it.
We have not been up to anything really exciting lately. Just trying to stay busy and get through this pregnancy. Baby boy will be here in just over a month!!
