My baby can't be 18 months! Where did the time go? Cameron has really matured recently and is quite a little boy now. I have to do double takes all the time, because he seems to be more grown up every time I look at him. Not a day goes by that he doesn't crack me up. He has such a silly, fun personality. He is talking up a storm and says new words every day. My favorite word this week is, "YAY!" He has gone from just clapping his hands about things to gleefully shouting, "Yay!" when something makes him happy. It's very cute. This evening, I was getting him ready for bed and I asked him if he wanted to take a bath. He jumped up, clapped his hands and said, "Yay!" Then he grabbed my shirt and proceeded to lead me along to the bathroom. There he clapped and cheered while I got the bath ready for him. It's just one very cute example of why "yay!" is my favorite word this week.
Cameron loves lots of things. He loves to eat and still does the sign, which is so cute, especially since I know it will probably fade away soon, as "more" has, since he's learned to say the word. He loves to eat and will usually cheer "yay" when I get him something he loves.
Cameron loves balls. He loves to bounce them, throw them, roll them, toss them and kick them. Most of all though, he loves to stand at the top of the stairs and drop them down through the railing. This got to be such a favorite pastime of his, that I moved the basket of balls from the play room downstairs. Now they aren't so easily accessible to throw down consecutively. It's a cute game, but rather messy and sometimes dangerous. Yikes, watch out for flying balls!
Cameron loves his blankie!! I think it's safe to say that he rivals Austin with his adoration of the special blankie. Austin was a blankie baby, and Cameron has followed suit. He will lay on his blanket in the middle of the living room floor, or hug it in the car and he loves to caress it. He will rub his hand softly across the surface and smile at me. He just loves to snuggle his blankie and we almost always have more than one with us, because we have several to spare. Thank goodness! Recently, Cameron has started to say, "night, night" when he snuggles his blankie. We aren't sure if he's starting to call it that, or if he's just making the connection about snuggling with his blanket at bed time. Either way, it's very cute and I can't help but pick him up and join in the snuggling!
Cameron is a happy boy and likes lots of things. He LOVES certain things though and the top o the list is being outside. He will run for the door, front or back, at every opportunity. He absolutely loves being outside. He likes to pickup sticks and rocks and he loves to call our cat, Oreo. It's very cute to hear him say it. It sounds more like, "oowoh" but it's obvious that he knows the cat and loves him. He is very fond of petting him and is very gentle. Oreo doesn't run from him, so I guess he's doing something right. :-) Cameron loves to play in the back yard and here are a few shots of him having fun a few days ago.
