9 Months Old

And here we are at the 9 months old milestone already!  What a fun time this is!  Cameron is so cute and so fun right now.  And growing up way too fast.  He makes us smile many times a day and really brings so much joy to our household.  His smile is the best thing to come home to after a long day.

*Cameron is crawling all over the place.  And also pulls himself up and holds on to furniture.  He can walk all the way around the coffee table holding on.  This morning I held one of his hands and helped him walk so I'm thinking he might be an early walker.  We'll see.  He's had a lot more falls and bruises with his new mobility, but he's a pretty tough kid.
*He started clapping this month!
*Still no teeth
*Unfortunately he had his first ear infection this month--and it was a double one.  Being a day care kid it feels like he's constantly been sick with some kind of cold or another.  He's pretty resilient though and hangs in there.  Hopefully this summer will be a nice break from sickness.
*He weighs about 18 lbs and 12 oz.
*Cameron's been a little slower taking to solids than Nate.  He eats 3 baby food containers a day--at breakfast, lunch and dinner.  And is slowly taking to little pieces of solids, but it takes him awhile.  He loves the mum mum crackers and puffs.  And so far has really enjoyed strawberries, crackers/bread, chicken deli meat, etc.
*He started swimming lessons.  I'll have to do a separate post about swimming lessons because both boys are doing them at the same time.  He loves the water.  Nothing phases him--he's not scared of it and when we dunk him under it's like nothing happened!
*Speaking of water he can take regular baths now and the boys frequently take baths together which is both fun and way more efficient.
*One of his favorite toys is our play kitchen.  He loves to get into the plastic utensils and plates.  And he stands up at the kitchen "cooking" for us very often.

Ok stop growing up Cameron--it's happening too fast!  Please can you stay this cute always?  We love you!  (sorry not many photos--it was kind of dark when we took these so not many turned out)
