9 Month Old Cameron

 Playing in the water with Savana

 First time down the big water slide.  He didn't hate it, but he didn't love it either.

 Playing in the baby pool.  He actually did like it, but the big kids kept spraying him in the face with water guns and that made him upset.

 These are from last Sunday.  He looked so cute, but he would not cooperate for pictures.

A rare picture of unhappy Cameron.

Let me see how well I can sum up this last month or so, and see if I can remember all of the new things he has done.

He loves to eat.  He has been eating table food for about 2 months now, and a lot of it... typically exactly what the big kids eat.  He loves to feed himself and does a pretty good job.  Some of his favorite foods are:  boiled eggs, turkey, string cheese, any kind of fruit, carrots, greek yogurt, and chicken and rice.

He learned to crawl at 7ish months and now at 9 months is crawling like maniac all around the house including upstairs.  He also cruises all over, usually only holding on to the couch or wall with one hand.  He took his first steps a few weeks before he turned 9 months, but right now isn't into walking by himself.  If I try to stand him up and make him, he just sits down and crawls away from me.

He love toys.  Especially ones that don't belong to him.  He is lucky that the big kids don't mind sharing.

He also said his first word a week or so ago.  I was hoping it was going to be "Mama," but no such luck.  "Dada" it is!  He also says "baba" for bottle and says "Hey" occasionally.  If you are lucky, he will wave good bye to you, but not always.  

He is such a sweet and smart little guy.  I love having him around so much.  I am amazed at how fast his first year is flying by and I am trying hard to take it all in and enjoy every minute with my precious little guy.
