We have been celebrating a lot these days!! First, Cam took to potty training very quickly at the start of the year! He is so super thrilled to be in "big boy" underwear now, that he never even looked back once. Then...Valentines Day, my 5 yr anniversary with Siemens, our 8 yr wedding anniversary, Aunt Audie's birthday, my birthday, Cam's birthday...whew...it's been a lot of fun! Here are some

Okay, so they weren't so much snow days as ice days. Whatever it was shut down the whole area for days. We ended up working from home for most of the first week and then another day or two the second week. Working from home is great, but after a while we started to go stir crazy. I take back what I said about thinking I could live in MI...I don't think I would make it!!Um, what's going on

We had a wonderful holiday break with our friends and family. 2010 was a crazy year, but overall it was great. They say everything happens for a reason and I will never doubt that again! We are truly thankful for all the blessings that we have in our lives.Cameron really got the concept of Christmas this year. He was a great helper with the decorations.Here is Cam feeling pretty smug waiting to

Fall was good to us - with the exception of mommy missing the first two days of work at her new job due to strep! Yes, you heard right, I finally got a new job. After many months of being told I was getting laid off, I landed a new position just two weeks shy of my last day. Talk about cutting it close! It is a great job though, and we are all much happier now! To celebrate, I went to Seattle to

We had a great summer this year. From golfing at grandma and grandpa's to pool parties, dinosaurs to great lakes, music videos to fireworks, we definitely made the most of our warm sunny days!! Here are a few of the highlights...Cam just loves the golf clubs he got for Christmas. The boy hastrue style (and a great follow through!) Cam starting signing Modern Love at the start of the summer.

Back to the zoo for birthday number 2!! For his actual birthday, we decided to go back to the zoo to see how his friends were doing. This year he was able to understand it more and call out all the animals we saw. His favorite was the elephant (ewefant). My favorite was the white tiger. I know what some of you are thinking - Yes, I still have a hard time with the idea of "kept" animals, but I

In case you are wondering what we have been up to…here ya go!Cam got his first REAL haircut from Aunt Audie. Note the Powers' sign of concentration - the tongue sticking out.

Cam's just now getting around to sprouting some more teeth. He's had four rabbit teeth for the longest time and now it looks like he's gonna fill up the mouth. Poor guy's pretty uncomfortable these days. Not all the time, though. It seems he has a joke he likes to tell us, only we don't have a clue what he's saying or what it might mean. He smiles real big and says "aye-wiggly-veeee!" over and

Thanks to good friend Robbie for the great tickets! He gave us his families' good moment. Much appreciation.Cam had a great time. I wasn't sure how he would respond to the environment, but he seemed very comfortable with it. We got there just before the first pitch and left after the 11 run fifth. The game was looking lame until the Ranges' bats came alive. We saw about 3 home runs, too, so Cam

We traveled to the UP again this year to visit with Chico, Sue, and the Yooper crew. Cameron didn't like being locked into a 5 point harness for 12 hours a day in the FJ. Go figure. He did better than we expected, though, so he gets high marks. Unfortunately, Andrea threw her back out just days before the trip, so her ride was just as troubled as Cams. All of this made my driving very easy (

Cam starts Mother's Day with banana slices fried up with pancake batter.At Grandma and Grandpas'. Susan gets help from Senia opening her gift.Mommy scores a comfy pair of sandals.Cam's aunt Audie gets a shoe fix, too.Outside the girls try to show Cam what lightning bugs are all about. He doesn't quite get it. Maybe next year.

Cameron is really loving getting out on the weekends. We went to the Main Street Arts Festival in Fort Worth and he never stopped smiling.Cambo had himself a good Easter over and Grandpa and Grandma's. Mommy fixed up some plastic eggs for him with treats inside and "hid" them in the living room. He called them balls and had fun discovering them. Did the Easter bunny bring that huge bag of clothes

Well, sorry it's been so long since we've updated. I'll catch you up quickly and then try to stay on top of this thing.First of all I'm (Paul) staying home with Cameron now. We took him out of day care and I'm working under contract for my previous employer and taking freelance jobs during the week. It's very challenging to work and watch Cam, but comforting to know whatever is going to be wrong

Sorry we have been out of touch for a while. There has been so much going on that we will update about later as we work on getting caught up. Here are pics from 3 out of 4 of Cam's Christmas celebrations. He contracted RSV right before Christmas, so we spent Christmas eve (day) at the doctor and waiting for over an hour at the pharmacy for his medicines. I do NOT recommend this to anyone who does

Well, crap! Went back to the ENT for testing and exam and he results were identical to the first test. So deaf in the left and tinnitus for life. Ah well. Could be much worse, so I will learn to cope.More pics and a couple of vids of Cam on the way. He's really changing right before our eyes!

Get used to hearing that from me as on Monday of last week I have experienced SUDDEN and TOTAL HEARING LOSS in my left ear.I believe it was from an incident at the dentist office that morning. I was in the chair with my head below my feet with two sets of hands in my mouth, nitrous, a water sprayer and suction device, a drill, mirror, jaw clamp and a spacer to keep my mouth from closing anywhere

Andrea's friend Lucie from Siemens came over for dinner with her 6 week old baby girl, Aneshka. Aneshka's dad is serving in Iraq, so we will have to wait to meet him.

Cam had a good time trick or treating out in Garland with his cousins and grandparents this year. Cam was a punk rocker. Not one of those Sid Vicious wanna-be over the top punks, but more like a Joe Strummer of The Clash kind of punker. He donated his candy to Daddy.

Cambo's not quite sitting up on his own, but he's staying there when we sit him up. A mother I saw at Mallorie Powers' soccer game this weekend said that the 6th through 8th months are really nice because kids can sit up and grab and entertain themselves, but are not yet mobile. So we're supposed to really enjoy these months. Mommy already has safety cushions for some furniture so we can start

Last night was my companies 30th Anniversary party at Jazz Cafe in Fort Worth. Cam attended and had a great time. I was worried about overloading his senses, but he was curious and even cracked a few smiles. Towards the end of the night, the party goers went inside to watch the debate so Cam, Andy and I got about a 3 song private show before calling it a night.Cam with Marilyn Morris (my office

OK, so I don't want to call it a vacation. Let's call it a trip because vacations aren't supposed to be that much work! We took a trip to Upper MI with Cam and Sadie to see Andrea's parents, Cam's Great Grandmother Julia, and our friends.Cam and I at Presque Island hiking a bit with Mommy and the grandparents.

Cam and Fam are doing well, although we are avoiding going outside between the hours of 5am and 12 midnight. Cam is standing upright with Daddy's help and loving it. He's got a big tongue and sticks it out at Mommy alot. We think he learned this from his schoolmate Martin, who is a little older than Cam and has great influence. He loves his cousins and they love to entertain him.

Sorry its been a while since the last posting. I'm slacking trying to keep up with everything. All is well in the house of Panda and the cub is growing. Here are some pics to prove it! My first Father's day was full of pride, and I get a good feeling when I see other dads with kiddos now. We are very lucky to have WC, and wont take his presence for granted.

Well, I just didn't want to say playdate because it's not very masculine. If anything it was a sleep/cry off between Cameron (home team) and Antonio (visitor). Erin, Marcos and Alice came over and we had a nice visit on Saturday afternoon. Ant's got about 4 pounds on Cam, which is like 25% more body weight, but Cam may have him beat when it comes to gas...

Cam got to see both Grandpas on Sunday. He spent a lot of time sleeping in Grandpa Reid's lap in the morning and hangin' with Grandpa Powers in the evening. Since Chico & Sue P. are running away to the UP to escape the TX heat for the next few months, they were plotting ways to take Cam with them.

Man, what a roller coaster week. We had to put Andrea's beloved cat and "first child" to sleep on Friday due to kidney issues. He had been in bad health for about 2 months and has not been the same kitty. I must say I've never known a cooler, happier cat than Macavity. He had abundant attitude and spawned 100 nicknames. He will truly be missed.RIP Macavity :: 1991 - 2008Today is Cam's first day

Cam loves to be outside, and he got his fill this weekend.After 5 years of having a deck we now have furniture for it!Relaxing outside is easier now. Check out the first smoked meat. Turned out good, but man, is it a lot of work.Hope everyone had a good weekend and has a good Monday.-P

of meat. It was time to replace the gas grill and I was thinking of going charcoal. Not only did I go char, I went smoker. So no actual charcoal is used, just wood. I cooked our first meal in it today, 6 chicken breasts. They took 2 hours and turned out super-brown on the outside, but super-juicy on the inside. Peel and eat bird! I loved using the smoker and may attempt a cookout for the Fam on

OK, so last night we order pizza. I'm super tired and lazy so I just plop the steaming hot pizza box onto the espresso colored coffee table. Oops. I pick up the box and there is a cloudy white heat stain that will not go away with regular cursing and paper towel wiping. So I went online and found this remedy.Put down a cloth diaper folded in half (we happen to have one of these), then put a hot (

Sorry for the delay of information!Cam's ultrasound shows a normal spine, so our concern with the dimple is "did we get all of the crap out of it?" I will post some more pics soon.

Cam was going nuts feeding and screaming for about 4 days. He's finally calmed down a bit, now. I guess that was the feeding frenzy that goes with the growth spurt we heard about. A young mom who is a cashier at our local Tom Thumb told said, "When your kid is going through one of his/her frustrating "phases" and you think you've reached your wit's end and you're going to freak out and scream,

Cam's starting to clutch and grab at things he sees and is a heck of a screamer.A couple of milestones have happened. He finally passed his hearing test after about 5 attempts. It seems that the folks at Cooks couldn't get their equipment to function properly and couldn't get a proper reading. All of these appointments are a major pain and seem like a waste of time, but I guess you gotta be sure.

Well, Cameron's looking good and seems to be feeling good, too. Andrea and I just about have him sleeping at night and alert during the day, so sleeping is getting easier for us.Andrea strained her neck feeding and staring at him! She really hurt for a couple of days there, but a neck brace and some moist heat seems to speed the recovery.Grandma Susan stayed with us for a few days last week while

Well, Cam's one week old now and is so much smarter and wiser.Yeah right.Eat, sleep, poop, pee, play. That's our schedule and it's on his terms. Something we are still adjusting to.His check up went well and Mom goes in today for staple removal. She's doing good, too.Here are some pics...

After yesterday's Dr. visit, Andy's doing good in the fluid department and the induction is scheduled for Tuesday morning at 5:30am.Erin and Marcos Andujar have induction scheduled for Sunday, so it's looking like a pretty baby boy intensive week ahead.

than the due date. Andrea's last Dr. visit revealed low levels of amniotic fluid again, so William Cameron Reid will be making his debut about 2 weeks earlier than the due date. Andy has another appointment this Friday and if the fluid levels are low, she will likely be induced. If the levels are higher, then the Dr. wants her to wait until April 1st (just a few more days, really). So either way

Just an update to let folks know that Andrea is doing better after bedrest, and normal amniotic fluid levels are back. The doctors tell her to just keep chillin', working as few days in the office as possible, and having me pick up some duties around the house. I have found that old people shop for groceries on Saturdays.

Stuff-wise I think we are just about ready. The room is looking good, the closet is filling up, the diaper stack is high, and the dressers and storage is in place.We had to skip the work shower that my employer was going to throw for us, as we had an unexpected trip to the labor and delivery triage last night. After Andrea's routine sono, Dr. Finke decided that her amniotic fluid levels were a

Man, have we got baby stuff! Our tiny baby room is filled to the rim with the gifts from our family and friends. Thank you all so much! It's almost embarrassing, actually. My dad was over and he was amazed at how spoiled a kid could be before birth. He said that he didn't sleep in a bed that nice until he was over 40 years old (after seeing the convertible crib).After about 3 hours worth of

Well, it looks like PandA's TV debut is going to happen after all. For those that don't know, PHPR (my employer- public relations firm) was hired to help a family owned wrestling business called Professional Championship Wrestling who just happened to be being filmed for a show called The Bussey Bunch for the TLC/Discovery network. Andrea and I will make our first appearance in episode 7! I think

Oh, Avery. What the hell?Last night was a great TV night for DFW b-ball and hockey. First the Mavs vs. Spurs.Avery pulling J. Kidd out of the game for the last possessions and replacing him with J. Terry was akin to dropping your gun and putting up your dukes in a high noon standoff. Suicide. Why the hell did we trade for this guy if we are not going to use him. I won't go on. I'm just too

No, I don't have any plans. I've got duties.Andrea and I are now in "nesting" mode, I believe, as focus turns away from going out and having fun to staying home and getting ready for the boy. Which I'm sure we will have plenty of fun, just a different type of fun. Like fun working in the yard, fun assembling baby items, fun cleaning the baseboards in the house, fun preparing for a garage sale.

I am starting this blog because I thought it might be a good way for family and friends to know what's going on in our very busy lives. Not sure of where to start, but this weekend seems to make sense, so...Andrea and I attended our friend Rob's birthday party at Dave and Busters in Dallas. D and B's is a restaurant/game room that used to cater to adults, but as we found out Saturday night, the
