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!

Now that Cameron is 3 months old we’ve been able to venture out more and more. This weekend he got his first experience in the swimming pool. Not that I’m bias or anything, but he seemed to take to it extremely well, and did very well for his first time in a pool.

Cameron is also starting to sit up more and more. Some friends of ours loaned us their Bumbo chair. If you haven’t seen these things they’re pretty cool. L says that he can only sit in the chair for 3 minutes at a time and watch him for fatigue. But he looks soo cute in it!!

Here’s a video of Cameron in his Chair

Oh, by the way, if you’re reading this he’s outgrown almost all his 6mo clothes and is WAAAY past 3mo clothes. We’re now trying him in 9mo clothes just to see if they fit!

Cameron at 11 Weeks Old

As this video shows he really like to talk! He is an order of magnitude more alert and while sitting in his bouncy chair or laying in his jungle gym he now looks at you in the eye, smiles and starts this series of voices and yelps. It’s very cute.

This week was also 4th of July weekend and we absolutely had a blast. We spent the 3rd of July at a friend’s place right next to Carols and Charlie’s marina(C&C). We were literally right next to the marina where C&C has a traditional pre-fourth of July fireworks. We hung out with friends from work, Lane and Rosie and Igor and Anna. And Cameron was so good and loved to be held by just about anyone who wanted to hold him.

On the 4th of July we spent the evening with Papa-T and Nee Nee at the top of my parking garage. We got to see a panoramic view of several fireworks displays and we didn’t have to battle traffic. It was perfect for Cameron’s first 4th of July.

4th of July Weekend!

We hope you all had as good a time as we did this year!!

Anyways, here are some pictures of Cameron at 1 month old.
