Oh hey there! Yes it's been a long time since I've written on this blog. And that's mainly because I've been writing on another blog so this one has been neglected. When I found out that I was pregnant with Cameron, I decided that I was going to carry on my Mom's tradition and write letters to my babies. So that's where I've been spending my blogging time. But I figured that I should give an update on Cameron on this blog now that he's FIVE MONTHS OLD!
Whoa! I can't believe that he's already that old! Time has flown by so quickly! And looking back, my life has changed so much with this little boy of mine. He truly has become my world. I wish that I could spend every day with him, but sadly I have to work. But luckily I only work 3 days a week. I love my Tuesdays and Thursdays when it's just me & Cam. And I REALLY love my nights and Saturdays and Sundays when Brant is there and we get to be together as a family.
Anyway...enough of the cheesiness. Here are some updates on Cameron and what he's doing now:
Cameron is a very active boy. If he's awake, he's moving. Constantly! He doesn't sit still for long. He loves playing and jumping in his saucer, standing, going for walks and playing with toys.
Cam is starting to tolerate being on his stomach a little more, but only for a little while. He gets very frustrated and starts to grunt. Then those grunts turn into a cry which quickly develops into a scream if we don't help him. He's rolled over from his tummy to his back quite a lot, but sometimes he forgets how and makes us help him.
Cam has also recently learned how to roll from his back to his tummy which makes changing his diaper a little challenging at times. But as much as he doesn't like being on his tummy, I can tell that he really enjoys rolling around.
Cameron surprised us all one day when he decided that he was going to sit up on his own for a few minutes at a time! Now he sits up on his own and plays with his toys all the time. It's so nice! He loves to be up and able to see everything around him. And this gives me a bit of freedom during the day. So it's a win/win situation.
One thing for sure about my boy is that he loves his independence. He loves sitting on his own and is quickly learning how to hold his bottle all by himself. The times that I have him feed himself definitely take a lot longer, but he enjoys it. And I love seeing him learn and grow.
Cameron is a very social boy too. He loves being around people and out of the apartment. I love that he has a cousin his same age that he can play with. And lots of other fun cousins that will play with him and help take care of him. I love living close to family for this reason.
Cameron is a very happy baby. He only cries when he gets hungry or is tired. Or when he hits himself REALLY hard with a toy. I say REALLY hard because he hits himself all the time! When I hear a thud from a toy hitting Cam in the head I expect for him to start crying. But he rarely does. It's usually only if he's tired or hungry that those hits even phase him. He's a tough little boy! Good thing too because I have a feeling he's going to be getting hurt a lot as he gets older.
I love seeing Cameron grow more and more every day. It's so fun to see how much he learns each week. I know any day now he's going to start crawling and then life will get REALLY busy. Once that boy learns how to move around he won't ever stop. Good thing we're going to be moving into our house soon so that he'll have a back yard to run in.
I love my little guy so much! And I love him more and more every day. He's such a joy to be around!
