Cameron, Gillian and Brett

Cameron enjoyed every moment Craig and Ashleigh were here. We had a really nice visit with them and a good laugh. The last good weather we had was while they were here, since then we have had rain every day!

Unfortunately Cameron was sick last week. He was teething so we assumed the high temperature was related to that, but we later found out, when he came out in a rash, that he had roseola (a virus that most kids get once). He hadn’t been sleeping well at night – which we are not used to- and he wasn’t eating as well as usual. That was last week, he’s back to normal now!

Cameron and I went to my friend Jen’s on Friday (she was up visiting her parents). We met up with her and her 3 girls (Emma and Leah 5 and Claire 2.5) and my other friend from high school Katy was there with her 2 girls  Cameron had a blast. He was running around like crazy and loving every moment with all the other kids – not sure if the fact they were all little ladies? Anyway, Cameron was having tons of fun with Emma and Leah – priceless moment- Cameron emerged from the living room with silver and gold beads around his neck – too cute!

What else is Cameron up to…’talking’. He knows that the sheep says bah and the horse says nay..he knows where his belly button is , his teeth, his toes and his nose. He still loves to dance, but hasn’t developed any new moves. He can get up the stairs in no time. He knows how to climb up on the futon and can get back down. He has figured out how to turn on the lamp beside the futon downstairs.  He still takes naps (1 second on a pillow). He brushes his teeth when we brush ours. He has figured out how to get the toilet paper of the roll!   All in all he is doing great.

Aunt Myret and Phil (Stewart’s friend) arrive tomorrow so no doubt there will be lots more to add for next update.

Yesterday Brett and I decided to take Cameron to the zoo. Papinak zoo is about an hour away from ours so we pack a picnic and headed out. It was a pretty nice day so we weren’t too hot and not too cold.

Cameron seemed to like it. He was doing his usual pointing and laughing at all the animals. He saw wolves, Walter the water buffalo, monkeys, racoons, wild turkeys, rabbits, zebras, tigers (which he made the baa sound we say for sheep), lions (who were shagging) and chickens that he was trying to catch.

It turned out to be a really great day.

In other news – all 4 of Cameron’s eye teeth are now through. It seems that most of his teeth are through except for a couple of his molars (the back ones).

We have Craig (Sam’s brother) and his girlfriend Ashleigh arriving tonight -for a few days- so Cameron will be pleased to have a new audience!

Cameron has had a very exciting and busy week this week. Stewart, Kate and Emily were up for a visit and Cameron enjoyed almost every minute of it! His only unsure moments were his first encounter with Uncle Stewart – Cameron was just up from a nap, Stewart hasn’t had a haircut in who knows when so we’re not sure if it was Stewart himself or just his Sid Vicious hairdo!

 Aunt Chrisitne and Uncle Bob were also up for a quick visit and Cameron had a blast on Wednesday with Aunt Christine. He was a bit shy with Uncle Bob at first, but that didn’t last very long.

Cameron had a blast with Emily. He followed her around laughing and pointing at her. He just wanted to play. Unfortunately, Emily is teething so she didn’t have much time for Cameron the first couple of days, but Wednesday, Thursday and Friday they had a ball together. They were ‘playing’ together. Following each other around and getting up to no good. We had a peek into the future – they are going to be partners in crime we think. Cameron had gotten into trouble for touching some of Granny’s ornaments. Emily then went to look at the ornaments, Cameron followed and pointed them out. He didn’t get close enough to touch them himself, but did keep his eyes open for us coming and then walked away as Emily moved closer to the ornaments! Wee bees!

Check out the photos on flickr and the video – it’s hilarious. Cameron was nuts that day. He was so excited playing with Emily and Aunt Christine it was like someone had wound him up. It was great to see him so happy.

What else…another tooth has appeared – bottom eye tooth. The potty is still around and we have had 2 successful poos on it. Walking is the only way to go, and he is doing really well with it, although he sometimes goes too fast and ends up on his backside.

He is doing really well and it’s great to be home with him.

Last year….

This year…

Crazy eh!

Cameron is doing well, but is teething – yet again! I got a bit of a look the other day – it looks like he has a few coming in at the same time, on both sides of the mouth and top and bottom – poor kid.
