Kissing Cameron

Cameron is now learning to give kisses.  They basically consist of just a big gaping open mouth on your cheek, but I'll take it!  

Other week 13 pics...

Mom just got Cameron some adorable summer gear, so he'll be all set for the beach in a few months.  A few swim trunks, tops, a big sun hat, and best of all...his first pair of sunglasses! Yes, he's wearing them indoors.  After all, the sun never goes down when you're cool.

It is incredible how well Cameron bares weight on his legs for being just 3 months old.  He'll be standing on his own in no time.  

Eating his burp cloth...  Who needs toys?  He's completely content just playing with cloth.

 Beautiful baby boy.

Josh finally received his diploma this week!  

What a great feeling after 2.5 long years of hard work.

More updates...

Josh and I bought this hat for Cameron right after we found out we were having a boy.  It still doesn't fit him just yet, but it's getting closer.  What a cool dude!

Cutie pie snoozing on the bed...

 

Cameron is now way too tall for the infant insert in his carseat carrier.  We just put in these new neck wings to help hold his head steady.  I was afraid he wasn't going to like them smushing his face, but he actually doesn't mind them, and in fact, quite enjoys licking them. 

 

We often put up pillows on the couch to help Nola to understand that there are boundaries.  She is allowed to sit on one end of the pillows and people/the baby sit on the other side.  The other day she was sleeping with her face buried, so I peeked under the pillows and caught her cute little face all smashed up through the "pillow tunnel".

Weekend Visit...

I’ve been sick for the past few days, so I’m just now catching up on the visit from a few weeks ago.  Mom, Glenn, Colleen, Steve, and Ella came into town for the weekend.  We had an action-packed, fun-filled few days!  

Cameron and I went over to see Mom and Ella on Friday morning.  Still in her jammies, Ella couldn’t wait to hold her baby cousin.  (It looks like her "baby" cousin is almost as big as she is.)

We went to the park that day and walked around the lake, talked to the ducks, and played on the jungle gym.  

While these activities are all slightly advanced for my baby boy, he sat quietly and ate his book, of course.  

It was a great weekend.  We visited Dad and Donna in SC and just enjoyed hanging out.

Cameron gave Grampy-G his birthday present.  

(A very cool tie with Cameron's picture on it.)

 

Cameron read books and snuggled with Grammy.  

(What a BIG baby!)

 

Sweet boy, smiling during a diaper change.

Josh and I always say how much Cameron loves baths, though he doesn't look too happy in this picture.

Hmmm, not too sure about this hair-washing thing...

....ahhh, much better!

3 months

I have a lot of posting to catch up on from this weekend, but all three of us are sick today, so it will have to wait.  I did, however, want to acknowledge my pumpkin's 3 month birthday!  

I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone.  He's so big and sturdy now.  

8 days

 3 months

He can now hold up his head fairly steadily, though he still hates tummy time.  Cameron bats and plays with toys and his favorite toys are his Scout puppy and his crinkly book.  He's constantly cooing and bares his weight on his legs with a little assistance.  He mostly wakes up just once during the night in his crib, but his favorite place to sleep is on a person.  Cameron loves sticking as many fingers as possible into his mouth and frequently accidentally gags himself.  He'll figure it out one day. Cameron's favorite song is "Rockin' Robin" and dances and smiles all the time.   He absolutely loves to sneeze.  He cracks up every time he sneezes, and even thinks it's funny when others do.  He loves his puppy, Nola, and even lets her lick his hands and feet.  Cameron loves baths and is just the sweetest, most perfect little baby.  We can't even remember what life was like without our precious baby doll. 

Chatterbox

Cameron now coos nonstop and talks up a storm!  I got this video of him yakking away on the couch yesterday.  The funniest thing is that whenever I play the video he just starts talking and talking over it as if having a conversation with himself.  I'm thinking we may have a real chatterbox on our hands. 

More week 11...

Cameron is exploring his fists and fingers and most popular, his lips.  He's been folding his bottom lip in and gumming it.  His little chin gets so red and slobbery.

Cameron is also the craziest eater.  If you take a break to burp him, he starts screaming at the top of his lungs.  It's as if he can't believe you have the nerve to take his bottle away, even for a moment.  He must have a constant flow of food to his tummy at all times.  And then when he's done, you better get that bottle out of his face ASAP.  He knows what he wants!  As you can see, he's very helpful. 

Beautiful boy!  He scratched his poor nose while flailing his fists around like a wild man.

 Though he has a crew-cut up top, his hair in the back is getting longer and longer.  It now folds over in a little crinkle.  What a sweet little ducktail.

Being silly, dancing and playing in his crib...

Cameron and I went to the park again today.  I wanted to get his picture with the ducks, but you can see from his face that he did not enjoy the stop...he's saying, "Get this stroller moving again, woman."

Church and 1st pair of jeans

Cameron looked especially sharp for church this morning.  He wore his first pair of jeans and his trendy cardigan sweater that he got from Aunt Colleen and Uncle Steve. 

Being silly while getting ready...

Now that is what handsome looks like!

Daddy and Cameron look SHARP!
