Pumpkin patch

We had a great time with Cameron at the pumpkin patch this weekend and were so glad Gigi and Papa could join us. I know he will really enjoy it when he is a little older and can ride the horse and hay ride. Here are some pictures of our little pumpkin.

First Haircut

We went to Hattiesburg for a visit the first weekend in October and decided it was time to give Cameron his first hair-cut. He had lost all of his original hair on top of his head but never lost the hair on the sides. It had gotten really long (down to his ear lobes) and I would try and keep it tucked behind his ears but that was looking a bit girly. So while we were at Gigi and Papa's house he got his first haircut. He looks like such a big boy.

6 months

Cameron Charles is 6 months old today. Did you get that? 6 months, half a year!!! Holy Moly! I cannot believe our sweet boy has been with us for so long. At 3:44 am on March 22 our lives were forever changed. ( In my sleepless, tired state I thought he was born at 3:22 and was awake with C at that time this morning feeling all nostaligic until Adam informed me later that he was born at 3:44. I should know these things, I was there and all). So let's look at what our chunk of love is up to this month.

Cameron, at 6 months
-You are still such a sweet, happy boy. Your smile is contagious. It lights up your whole face. Your laugh also brings us so much joy! You like to laugh at mommy and daddy when we make our funny sounds or funny faces. Your grandparents and aunts and uncles can also get you to laugh. You are a funny boy! You make us laugh too!

 
       - You are very interested in your doggy, Albe. You watch wherever he is going. You can reach out and pet him now and he has been really good to let you. It won't be long before you will be chasing him.

- We have been introducing new vegetables to you this month and have tried sweet potatoes, carrots, and green beans. (had already tried rice cereal and oatmeal). You are not a fan. You can actually be a bit dramatic when any of the baby food hits the back of your throat. You gag! You lock your jaws and make it nearly impossible for mommy to get the spoon in your mouth. I hope you will start to like these vegetables soon.

- You still love your bath and kicking and splashing with your hands. You like to relax in the tub and will work until you are propped back as far as you can go. Such a funny boy.

-We have been working on your sitting and you can do it on your own for a little while but usually get distracted looking at doggy or something else and start to topple over. If we prop you up on the bed on a pillow you usually try to sit up. It looks like you are doing crunches.

-You are VERY interested in your toys now and reaching for them. Its been fun watching you learn how to PLAY with your toys. Your favorite toys are your popper (in picture above), Carla the Caterpillar, Sophie the Giraffe, stacking rings, zebra rattle, and saxophone. You also still love your bouncer!

-We love to read to you. You enjoy this time too. Some of our favorite books are Sleepy Time with Elmo, The Napping House, and Moo, Baa, La La La.
-You love to be outside especially in the stroller. You ooooo when the wind blows. This is a picture of you on the 4wheeler with Papa.

-One of our new favorite tricks of yours is when you give us kisses. We say give me a kiss and you give us a good sloppy wet kiss. Its precious.

-You love your feet still and are utterly entertained by tugging on them and even pulled your own sock off the other day.

- You have learned a crazy sound at school that sounds like a terradactyl. It is SO funny. Sometimes you do it to get our attention and sometimes you just make the noise to be funny.

-You are a chunk. People comment about your chunky thighs and arm rolls. Such a stark contrast from where you started. We are so proud of your growth.

I can't believe that we just met you 6 months ago. Our love for you is infinite.

River Dancer

Cameron LOVES his bouncer. I have been saying he looks like he is river dancing, so Adam gave him some music to dance to.

Enjoy!

Weekend in Hattiesburg

We had a great weekend in Hattiesburg visiting with family this past weekend. Cameron does really well being passed from person to person which we are thankful for. We are so blessed to have so many people to love on our sweet boy. Here are a few pics to enjoy.

Papa put him on the little 4 wheeler. So cute.

He is sitting very well. Still needs some support but LOVES sitting up like a big boy.

Such sweet smiles!


Cameron loves sticking his tongue out and will usually do it on command.

These feet are fun toys!

Chunky Monkey

Had to share this picture of our CHUNK with you guys. Hard to believe he was less than 5 lbs at birth. Don't you just want to kiss those cheeks?

To Win a Mattress

I am linking to a blog I read called We are THAT Family for a chance to win a WONDERFUL mattress. Therefore I must post a picture of our current mattress. Embarrassing but necessary.
