17 Months

It's hard to believe Cameron is 17-months! He's talking a lot...more and more of it is recognizable. He has mastered walking backwards. He is learning body parts. When talking about his nose he will touch yours (or his) and say "honk, honk". He's been learning to color...at least in the bathtub. We have lots of pretty pictures on the sides of the tub. He is very helpful when we are cleaning...he helps to load & unload the dishwasher. Today he took the mop and ran it all around the floor while I was vacuuming...easily spent 15-20 minutes occupied by it.

He has learned to climb inside his cupboard.

Cameron loves his bubbles!! We bought one of these guns that is supposed to continuously blow bubbles. What it really does is soak his hair and my carpet. We've only played with it twice so far and we've gone through almost an entire bottle of bubbles. This will be a fun outside toy for him this summer.

Cameron got a new toy! My thought was to get him a sandbox...David had other ideas. I say this is David living vicariously through Cameron. While he does like it, he hasn't quite figured out how to really jump on his own yet...so David bounces him. Cameron just lays down and flails around until someone starts bouncing him. Ideally this will be used outside. However, the nice thing is it's small enough we can inflate it inside when the weather isn't great (it's still a little cold to be outside playing for extended periods of time).

This is a recording of Cameron waking us up in the morning. He will lay in there for 30-45 minutes and just talk, sing, and make noise. You will hear him say "Bella", which is the dog at daycare. I think some of them are also "Bah La", which is now banana.
