Sick baby!!!

Well Cameron is sick for the first time, and it is pitiful! I hate it! I wish more than anything I could take his sickness away from him. I took him to the doctor yesterday and he has an ear and a sinus infection. He has gotten worse today, but the doctor says to give the antibiotics 24 hours to work. Until then we are trying to keep him comfortable and clear his little head up, but we feel so helpless. He has lost his little voice, so he says "dada" over and over with his little hoarse voice and it is enough to make you cry. I finally sat in the bathroom with him watching baby einstein this afternoon to get his nose clear. After tylenol, antibiotics and a bottle he fell asleep watching Dora. I held him while he slept for an hour to ensure he FINALLY got a nap in, and I went to lay him down. He is still sleeping for now, but I can hear his little stuffed up nose breathing on the monitor. I hope this passes soon and we get our little happy man back. The doctor said yesterday that he is a really good baby, because he was smiling and being sweet even though he had to have felt terrible. Today he hasn't tried so hard to be nice, but who can blame him? I hope we will all be back to normal soon!

6 months! Really?!?!?!

Cameron hit the 6 month mark this past week. I realized it when I was at work and wrote the date for the first time. Then I spent most of the day thinking back to when he was born. I can't believe we have already had half of a year with him. I can't believe that now he is technically closer to being 1 year old than he is to this actually birth. It is amazing to see how much he has changed. He continues to be more fun everyday. It is impossible to go out to eat now without attracting the attention of everyone around us. We have become the entertainment. Our little man puts on quite a show. He can sit in a highchair, and likes to squeal quite loudly now. Very rarely do we get through a meal without him grabbing something off the table that he shouldn't get. The most exciting incident was earlier this week at Moe's. He grabbed Casey's glass of ice water and pulled it over into his lap. I think he was the only one there who didn't find it hilarious. He is into EVERYTHING. He gets in his walker and gets around the house. He wants to touch everything and if it is small enough put it in his mouth. He is trying to scoot and can sit up now all by himself. He can't get there alone, but once you sit him up he can stay there. It is cute! I just can't believe what a big boy he is. He loves his Daddy and Mommy. Bedtime is still an issue. For some reaon he doesn't sleep great lately. Some nights he goes to bed between 8 and 9 but usually gets up at some point and stays up for a while, OR he doesn't go to bed until almost 11 and sleeps all night. We don't know what to do. Anyway I am attaching a few videos of him to show you how much trouble he has started to get into. He is too cute! Also I am putting my up new favorite pic of him and his Daddy. They are best buds!

24 weeks!

It is amazing to me to think Cam turned 24 weeks old this past week. I can remember every detail of his birth so vividly and still think about it all the time. I remember the first few days, and when I look back at pictures I can't believe how much he has changed and grown. Just a few major things...he eats so much now! He eats twice a day, and he loves peas, bananas, applesauce, sweet potatoes, and squash. He likes carrots, pears, and peaches, and he hates greenbeans. He is so funny when he eats. He wants to try to help you, and if you aren't getting the food to his mouth fast enough- he lets you know. He talks ALL the time and is hillarious. He has now learned dada, and it is about all he says- over and over. I'm not convinced he knows who "dada" is because he yells it whether Casey is around or not, but all the same it is a sweet, sweet sound. We are working on mama, and even if he doesn't make the connection and I am mama I will probably cry the first time he says it. :)
He loves outside still. He still hates car rides and his car seat. Some days he hates them more than others. He like a stroller when he isn't tired or hungry.
He is now putting himself to sleep. That is really the only way he goes to sleep. We can try to walk with him and rock him like we use to, but he doesn't go to sleep. He will still go to sleep with his bottle at night and that is when we get our cuddling and loving in. He is such a sweet baby and so so happy. I am attaching a video below of his new favorite word.
