Cameron's Yard!!

It appears Cameron is finally getting over his RSV! I'm just about over it as well. It has really hung on and taken a good 2-weeks to completely shake. The weather is finally starting to warm up. Cameron LOVES to be outside! Every day at daycare they go outside. We haven't been able to give him free reign of the yard due to the dog...so this weekend we changed that and gave him his own space in the yard (dog free). Today he got to play out there for the first time. We have fake grass in the yard and so he really got to explore it today...very different from what he's used to. Then he spent time just running circles with Daddy. Plus his slide now has a home outside of my kitchen (our $2 garage sale special!).

We have been working on using silverware. He's starting to get the hang of it. The video is of him eating. You will see he picks up the food with his fingers then places it on the fork/spoon and tries to put it in his mouth. Sometimes it makes it...sometimes it doesn't. The pictures are just of a really messy boy after ravioli.

He is definitely talking more! On occasion he has even put a couple of words together. For example, Karla's dog (daycare) is named Bella. She told me when the dog goes upstairs he will stand at the bottom of the stairs with his hand up and yell "Come Bella" over and over until she comes back down. He's also got quite a few words completely downpat and is copying a lot of what we say (so really needing to watch ourselves now). He also has the word "No" down. When we tell him no, he will continue to touch the thing he wasn't supposed to touch and say "No" each time he touches it. Still loves talking on the phone, though not always when we want him to talk to someone.

This video is just for Grandma Barb...he loves his giraffe. He runs around carrying it and pushing buttons so it plays music.

Thank you to Aunt Lynn for the chair that is going to cause his first broken bone. :-) He has learned to climb up in it on his own now...and then leaps over the side onto Ralph. We have to make sure the bear is always beside it to provide some cushion for his landing. Such a little daredevil!

Cameron isn't keen on taking the stairs like he should. He knows how, but refuses to go down backwards and crawl. He only wants to walk like a big boy.
