Cameron and Broom, BFF

Cameron just turned 11 months old the other day, as well as it was his first Easter. We had fun and saw the Easter Bunny, yadda yadda… However, all this fun and excitement was over shadowed by Cameron’s new best friend, Broom. Yes, Cameron found a new best friend in the household broom. On Sunday we were sweeping the floors when suddenly he really wanted to hold Broom and from then on they were inseparable. Broom is 3x his size but he didn’t care, he wanted to hold it and take it wherever he went. So we gave it to him. He ended up holding Broom for hours, taking it with him where ever he went. We eventually took it away from him after he began to trip over it and fall down. We took video of him and his new BFF (Broom) about 30 minutes into their marathon relationship.

This video only begins to demonstrate the hilarity that was Cameron and Broom. We love you Broom!

Cameron at 7 Months Old

Well another month has gone by and Cameron is now 7 months old! The months seem to be going by much faster now that the holidays are here. So much has happened over the past month where should we start? Let’s start off with some basic stats. Cameron is still HUGE for his age, over 22Lbs and is as tall as an 18 mo old. He’s getting his first tooth in but is a little reluctant to show it off but as soon as it’s more visible we’ll post it on the site. He’s still a total chatter box /screamer and is especially vocal in the mornings. He is also still on 3 solids a day but is now eating finger foods like Bananas and yogurt.

This month was especially exciting for us because it was Thanksgiving and we got to make a roadtrip to Dallas. This year Cameron’s Aunt and Uncle came in from the far off land of California. We were very excited to see them because we haven’t seen them in such a long time and it’l be the first time to meet Cameron. This year we stayed at Uncle T’s house which was small break with tradition. We usually stay a Grandma Mema’s house but this year she had construction going on so we decided to stay elsewhere. Besides it gave Cameron a chance to spend some time with his cousins which was a really fun!

During our time in Dallas Cameron also got to meet his second cousins and his great Uncle for the first time. It was really great to see all the cousins and second cousins again and of course Cameron was such a Ham, always wanting to be held and photographed! On Thanksgiving Day we all got together and had a really nice lunch/brunch or whatever you call it and ate to our hearts content. I thought Cameron looked especially cute with his Thanksgiving Day outfit on.

Now that we’re home, we’ve settled back into our routine and Cameron continues to grow by leaps and bounds. We hear people say all the time “They grow up so fast” and I think we’re really beginning to grasp that concept. It seems like it was just yesterday that he was able to sit up on his own. Next thing you know he’ll be walking..

Here’s a little video of Cameron sitting on the kitchen floor.

Cameron’s Roll

Cameron at 6 months old

So another month has passed and Cameron is now half a year old. He’s growing up so fast it’s just simply amazing to see the changes in his personality and his size. He weights about 23Lbs and is over 27 inches long. He only fits into 18-24 month old clothes. And by the time we wash and ware them he’s almost out grown it!! This month Cameron started eating solid foods that mom makes at home. So far he’s had Sweet Potatoes, Green Peas, Pears and Apples. He is now up to at least two tablespoons full every day. He’s beginning to like food more and more.

This month was Halloween and this year we decided to go to a pumpkin patch and see if we could find us a pumpkin. We didn’t find any pumpkins that we wanted but we still had a good time. This year, being Cameron’s first Halloween, we decided to dress him up in something cute. This is probably the last time he’ll want to dress up cute, being a boy, I’m sure he’ll want to be scary and gory. So we thought a cute Teddy Bear outfit would be appropriate, and he was the cutest Teddy Bear ever. His outfit totally fits his personality. He’s such a cuddle bug and he’s so large what better fitting costume than a bear?

Because Cameron goes to sleep so early we decided to start our Halloween a little early, like 5:30pm!! We also invited his friend Liam to join us. Liam is part of our Mama’s meet up group that meets every week. Liam is a super cute vocal 9mo old who is just a blast to be around. In this pic you can see Cameron (5 ½ months old) standing next to Liam who is 9+ months old. We really don’t notice Cameron’s size until we see him next to kids almost twice his age.

So in summary, Cameron is as happy and sweet as ever and is such a joy to be around. He draws comments all the time when we take him out. He loves going shopping and to the grocery store. Also, his grandmother, Nini, comes over a lot and gets to spend time with him. They like to sit on the sidewalk and watch the cars and people go by.

Now we are looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas! That should be so much fun..
