Cameron will be seen in 2 weeks!!!

Finally, I have managed to make an appointment for Cameron's arm. He will be seen at Children's January 25th @ 1:30 pm. I am so happy to finally get somewhere with these Doc's. Now, let's just hope they can tell me what this is and let's hope it's something really simple.

My backdrops and stand arrived!!!!

Yeah! I finally received my stand and backdrops so I can start messing around with portraits. I am so excited. Here are a couple of my most willing subject. Collin is such a funny little posser.

Doctor's don't want to help me diagnose Cameron's arm!

I am at my final straw today with dealing with Doctors and Nurses. No one wants to help me with getting Cameron a diagnosis. Why is there no urgency on this. He's only 4 months old! They now want me to wait for some "guy" to come to Yakima in mid March to look at his arm. It seems simple to me and they make it so complicated. I mention I am going mad with self diagnosis. As a mother you google "swollen arm" and tell me the thoughts that run through your mind when looking at a man with one arm the size of an elephant and the other normal. I am getting nasty with these people and if they don't like me now I just simply don't care. They have no compassion for me or my baby. God forbid anyone gets sick or has a problem in Yakima. They have to wait months to be seen by someone who actually knows what they are talking about. On a happier note look at that little sweet boy! I am so blessed not matter what happens I will cherish every moment. "As soon as I get off this computer and stop freaking my self out with the possibilities".

The latest news with Cameron's arm.

Cameron still has a very swollen left arm. It's double the size of his right arm. It is very scary and frustrating to not know what the cause of this is. He has had 2 x-rays and the Doctors seem convinced it's not broken or fractured as first mentioned by a radiologist. We have an appointment in February for further testing. Meanwhile, he is growing and using his hands very well. I will keep this updated so you can see what comes of it.

Some last pics for the year!

It's all about Cameron Cruz

Cameron just loves his brothers & they love him right back. Since he hit the 3 month mark the boys have enjoyed all the funny sounds he makes. Collin belly laughs so hard when Cameron does something new. I just had to share these pics because they really captured a moment.

4 year old pics of Collin

Here are a couple from Collin's 4 year old shoot. Still working on them & others.

Funny story:

As I was shooting Collin, Cooie walked up to him and pretended to take his Faux hawk off and put it on him. It's actually something they fight over. They pretend to take something off each others body and scream NOOOOOO you can't take my "whatever it is"! I couln not stop laughing.

Cameron has outgrown his newborn clothes.

Cameron is now 3 months old and reaching all his milestones and then some. He grabs for things and rolls over from tummy to back. He smiles all the time and spits up more. He loves his swing and blowing bubbles. In pictures his eyes are very blue. He is up every 2 hours in the night so we need to work on that one. What a wonderful little baby.

Look who's four!

Collin just had his 4th Birthday and it was a blast. Collin loves Birthday cards and party supplies. I think the "production" of a party thrills him....sorta like his mommy. He loves preschool and gravitates towards the ladies. He still talks about a little girl by the name of Lola he met while on a playdate with his buddies. He want's "everything" for Christmas. How do I do that????

Cooie all grown up....or at least look's like it!

Cooie just keeps getting bigger everyday. He is using sentences now and you can actually understand them. I look at Collin and Connor and wish them small again. After that thought I remind myself they are still 4 and 2. I guess it just amazes me how fast it goes by.
