Age 2

Had Cameron to his 2 year appointment recently. He's growing like a bad weed! Already 28 pounds 11 oz and 33.5 inches tall! Still right at 50th percentile across the board...even though everyone thinks he's so huge.


I'm a little sad to be cleaning out his closet again to make room for the next size! We're buying him 2T...no longer clothes in "months". Definitely another sign he's not a baby. Actually, I think this is the first time I've actually had to buy him clothes (aside from PJ's). Up to this point I've had stuff in the closet that other people bought him. Probably another sign he's a big boy...it's only fun to buy baby clothes. :-)



We are regressing a bit with sleeping. We had a couple weeks where he was getting up multiple times during the night and coming into our room. I think he was hoping we'd just let him sleep with us. Always between 1-4 AM. No idea why. I'm sure he just woke up and instead of putting himself back to sleep as usual...he was really loving his independence in the big boy bed and would come visit us. Although he was consistently telling me those nights at bed time "No big boy bed"..."No like my big boy bed". I let him make a bed on the floor a couple of nights hoping that would help. The last 2-3 night's he's back to sleeping all night. I hope it sticks!

For those of you that know Cameron...you know he loves to dance. Adding some new videos of him dancing to some ringtones.






Then just a few pics. He is finally wearing his chef outfit. You can see from the photos he was stealing kitchen utensils from our drawer to stick in his front pockets. Yes, he is tall enough to see in the drawers now!





Last video is something that occupies most of his time these days. He sets all of his food items or all of his dishes out on his table. Then proceeds to eat each one.

Cameron's 2nd Birthday!

Cameron turned 2 on September 30th! We celebrated his birthday on October 2nd. Grandma Beth flew out to be here. Some of Cameron's friends came out to play as well...Jacob, Karina, Isabella, Alexander, and Ava (not his cousin). They jumped in the bounce house and played with toys.





We got a Nemo cake - Cameron is a big fan of Finding Nemo.



He loved having everyone sign Happy Birthday to him...even did a good job blowing out the candles.

Cameron ripped off Nemo's fin and started eating it. The inside was cake. Grandma Beth cut his nose off to make him easier to eat. Cameron was a little traumatized that Nemo's nose was gone...but he soon joined in the fun and was asking me to cut off his eye so he could eat it.

Opening presents started off good. Cameron opened one...then quickly lost interest.

The rest of the time he played at his new mud pie maker/kitchen (from Aunt Lynn). He was completely oblivious to the rest of the gifts. Isabella happily stepped in to finish the job though. The other kids seemed more interesed than Cameron.



After the party Cameron was hungry and is now eating most of his meals at his new table from Grandma Beth.
Once everyone left he was far more interested in his gifts! He enjoyed force feeding Grandma some of his fake ice cream (literally prying her mouth open). Also feeding his horse a carrot.





He also loved the balloons & party favors. Overall, it was a hit!
