Cameron - Our little sunshine

Today was Easter and Mackenzie's 2nd birthday. We had a wonderful day (weekend really) with the family and with our girls.

Cam, you are a wonderful baby with a great disposition! You are easy to travel with, easy to hold, easy to snuggle, easy to love, just all around easy going. This is a great thing as your sister is quite a character and always looking to be the center of attention. It seems the only person she doesn't mind sharing the lime-light with is you and we couldn't be happier about that!

You are such a content baby. You love being held or just lying down on the mat. Today especially with all the excitment of the day you just chilled out - we only heard you upset when you needed a diaper change or a bottle. You smile the largest when Mackenzie is around and I try not to worry that she will be too rough with you - she loves "tickeling you" and kissing you and giving you the binkie and covering you with blankets - she really tries her best to be your second mommy.

Right now you are still learning to explore. You are drinking 6 ounce bottles every 3 hours. You were sick last week and it definately decreased the amount you were drinking and eating so we are hoping that will increase to 8 ounces soon. [only a few more weeks until we start you on foods - we are going to start on April 11th as a mini celebration of your 6 month birthday] You pull objects toward you and enjoy anything above your head including your swing, mobile, bouncer seat. You really like the bouncer seat with the fish and the bubbles - I remember Mac liking it also - you will just giggle at it which is very cute.

You are starting to cross your fingers and get your hands to touch each other and you will move objects from one hand to the other but it doesn't seem to be intentional yet. Probably your best "trick" is just your ability to "talk". When someone is eye to eye with you, you love to talk back and forth. You are a behind the scenes kind of girl - you don't make much noise when it is loud or when others are talking - - but at night after Mac has gone to bed you get louder and enjoy the one on one time with Mommy and Daddy.

I love you Cameron. I know the next 6 months will have even more fun times and changes than the first 6 months. You will likely roll over, crawl, stand and maybe even walk within the next 6 months as well as get introduced to all types of food. I feel so lucky to have you in my life. I love you!

Mommy
