His two favorite things to do right now are scream at the top of his lungs and watch, watch, watch the pugs. He loves to watch the pugs play, sleep or just about anything they do he wants to watch. He really likes grabbing Bella and pulling a fist full of her fur out followed by a shout of pure glee!!

In the mornings he also likes to test his vocal chords and see how high a pitch he can get and when daddy gets home he loves to play in his exercise disk. He’s now in total teething phase and is going through about 5 bibs a day. As you’ll notice in most of these pictures he either has a bib on or has copious amounts of drool on his shirt. Oh and by the way he’s wearing 2yr old shirts now.. Yes that’s not a typo, two years old t-shirts. Who decides the sizes on the clothes.. I mean really!

Now that Cameron is 5months old we decided to start solid food feedings. Below are the first shots of Cameron eating solid foods. It looks like daddy doesn’t like the food more than Cameron! His eating regime is 1oz of organic, iron fortified, rice cereal mixed with breast milk once a day for a week. Then we go to 1oz a day twice a day. Soon he’ll be eating pizza and beer and that’s when to poo starts to stink, or so I’m told!!

In addition to his solid foods, we’ve gotten him on a nice wake schedule. He now gets up at 7:30am with mommy to start the day. Mommy likes to take him out for walks and it’s starting to get a little cooler here in Austin, TX so mom took a few shots of him with his winter/fall gear on (he looks too cute!). And we also caught him and daddy being cool with their ultra cool sun shades on! What a pair of studs… can you see the resemblance?

And last but not least we wanted to have some really nice images of Cameron that we could hang on our wall. The kind the professional take but without the cost! So we decided to take our own photographs and see what would happen. Well, to say the least we took some of the most beautiful pictures of Cameron we’ve ever seen. The one that really took us aback was this shot. It was one that daddy took at just the right time and was perfect. He looks so mature and so happy. That photo (cropped and photoshoped for imperfections, of course) now hangs on our wall. We still talk about how happy and how old he looks but it’s still a one in a million shot. He’s so photogenic!

So over the past 5 months Cameron has really begun to become a part of the family and the family has really begun to come together. Every day is a joy to be with him and he has this personality that draws you in. He also loves to snuggle on your shoulder and is nicknamed the “snuggle bug” by his mother, and we think he has a sweetest disposition (non-biased opinion, of course!). Better enjoy it now before he starts to want to take the car out for the weekend!!

Oh! Here is the entire Gallery of Cameron at 5 Months Old!

One of the best times we have with Cameron is during his “Tummy Time”(TM). Now, he didn’t always like TM but now that we know how to do it right, never knew there was a right or wrong way, he seems to be enjoying it a lot more. He’s just so strong it really is amazing to see his development change so quickly!

Pictures of Cameron’s Tummy Time

Since the last post Cameron has been growing by leaps and bounds. He’s now only wearing 6-9mo old clothes. He’s also starting to find his voice and really likes talking (especially in the morning). He also simles a lot and is really just very fun to be around. He sleeps about 4-6 hours every night so that gives mommy a chance to catch up on sleep. And he recently started rolling over onto his back during “tummy Time”. He only does it every now and again and it’s usually when he tilts his head in a certain position and the body just kinda follows but we like to encourage him!!

Here is all the photos we have of him, Cousin Boon and the rest of the family.
