Outside Time

Cameron just LOVES his time outside. He screams and throws a fit when it's time to go in or go home from somewhere that he gets to play outside. He really likes to go up and down stairs like big kids do now. He wants to hold my hand going up the stairs now instead of crawling. If there are rails, like our deck outside, he will go down on his own. It makes me nervous, but we're always right there if he falls. However, he hasn't fallen yet. I video taped him and he does slip a little, but of course that is just for the video! We went to the park today to let him go down big slides. He's not very good at it, his feet always catch and he face plants. So, we either have to take his shoes off or I have to hold him as he goes down. But, he loves it! He especially likes climbing the stairs to get to a slide. Of course having all the other kids there was an added bonus. He says hi and tries to talk to them. He loves watching other kids and gets so excited!
Cameron has been healthy so far the month of April, we are very thankful for that. As most of you know by now, I am pregnant again, so come the end of November, there will be a little brother or sister for Cameron. That will be very exciting for him!
I'm also attaching a little video of Cam climbing on the couch. This is another one of his favorite things to do now that he's figured it out! He climbs up, sits down and usually reads something really fast, then climbs down and does it all over again.

Fun At Home

I cant believe how the week has flown by! The weather has been warm, but overcast. Today it is raining, so no outside time for us. Unfortunately, I have not felt well the last couple days, so we have just had as much fun as we can inside. Cameron loves getting a book and climbing on the couch and sitting like a big boy next to me on the couch. He's spent quite a lot of time with his tool bench. He also has learned to move on his Radio Flyer trike thing he has had since his birthday. However, he is more into climbing everything lately, so he likes to stand on the seat. Today we need to make a trip to Babies R Us to get another car seat. We really need one in Zach's car, Cameron has grown out of the infant seat. We will get a reasonably priced one since it won't get used as much. It can be the seat we fly with when we travel. That's all the news for now.

Zoo

We had a fun morning at the zoo today. It was packed! I'm so glad we got there when it opened! We left around 12:30 and by then people were parking across the street. Apparently, yesterday they had to close the zoo because there were too many people inside. Cameron had a lot of fun. He got sick of being in the stroller, so I told him he could walk if he held my hand and he was very good about that today. He would point to the animals and smile. He really liked the zebras, the lions, and the Bongos. There was a play area there with lots of slides and tons of kids Cameron's age, so we let him play there for a while. There was also a big inflatable slide that you had to pay $1 for that he went down with daddy. It was a lot of fun. He fell right asleep as soon as we got on our way home. Unfortunately, I think it's going to rain the rest of the week, so I'm not sure what the rest of our days will bring, but we'll think of something!

Spring Break

Spring break has begun and the weather has started out wonderful. It reached like 78 degrees today. Cameron and I met his daddy for lunch. I was planning on taking the pacifier away during this break, but decided since he's so much more attached after being sick that it wouldn't be a good time. However, we only let him have it when he's in his crib going to bed. So, no more pacifier with therapy or in the car. So far, he has done great. He does just as well with therapy without a pacifier. I mean, he doesn't like it, so sometimes he can get through the whole thing without any fussing and other times he tries to push the mask away or the percussor. The car was the hard part. We let him pick out a new toy at the store. He tried lots, but kept coming back to one, so that's his car toy. After we met daddy for lunch, I knew he'd sleep, but didn't want to give him the pacifier in the car and he fussed for a minute, but then fell asleep on his own. So sweet! Tomorrow we are planning on going to the zoo in the morning. My ankle still hurts, but I'm going to try it because it looks like the only good weather will be tomorrow. So, I've gotta take it while I can get it! I think daddy might even take 2 hours off and meet us there for a little bit. Fun!
I've also included a short video. It's been hard to video lately because every time I try, Cameron wants the camera. I taped him doing ring around the rosy. I usually do this with him and he usually falls down right when you're supposed to. Today, he just wanted me to sing and he'd turn in circles and then fall down. So, I decided to video him, however, when it gets close to time to fall he stands and waits with his back to me (you can see he's smiling from the side of his cheek) and then he waits for me to tell him to sit down. Of course he had to be stubborn for the camera!

Cheese Puffs

Cameron had cheese puffs today and just loved them as you can see. He hasn't made a mess of himself like this in a long time. But, it was good to see him eating so well. He has been gradually doing better eating again. His favorite is still grilled cheese though. We received good news this week. The waiver went through for Cameron to see his CF doc, which is great. We will still have issues with the insurance, but this will help him to see this doctor tremendously. Now we just have to hope there's some kind of deal by the end of the year. It was very nice out today. Cameron went running around the front yard for a bit, I planted a bunch of seeds for my pots, we tried to get a little cleaning and organizing done and took a bunch of stuff to Good Will. Hopefully I can get some more done while I'm off on Spring break this week. That's all for now. Hope to update more this week since I'll be off.
