Halloween and Fall Festivities!

I know it has been ages since we have updated the blog and we have lots to share about Cameron. He is now 20 weeks old (4 1/2 months) and a whopping 15.5 lbs! Cam is an absolute joy and Cory and I could not imagine life without him. We recently started solid foods after his 4 month doctor's appointment. Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, and Green Beans have all gotten a thumbs up while he didn't like the Squash and Peas so much. He is getting better each day at eating off of a spoon. He has also discovered that he loves to suck on and chew his fingers. We can really see his personality starting to show. He loves to smile and babble and has started to belly laugh when he thinks something is funny. We have been working on building up his back and stomach muscles and he wants to sit up so bad and is almost there. The longest he has sat up by himself has been for about 45 seconds. His doctor told us he is right on track developmentally.

For Halloween, Cameron dressed up as a monkey! Mommy and Daddy thought this was the perfect costume for him since we always call him our little monkey. He was so good while in his costume. We went trick or treating to some family members houses and a few friends. He did not fuss once! We thought for sure that getting him in and out of the car seat so many times that he would get fed up with it but he didn't which made it easier for us since it was raining the entire time. Cameron got lots of goodies including a few outfits, baby food, onesies, and even a couple dollars for his piggy bank. He loved getting to see so many different people in one night. We were very relieved that the night went without a hitch.

Cameron also started daycare since I am now working. He LOVES daycare. Cory and I love it as well. The lady who runs it is amazing and Cameron gets good reports sent home every day. We got our first piece of artwork last week. It was little ghosts paint with Cameron's feet! It is currently hanging on the fridge and will be going in the baby book!

We are hopefully closing on our house this week and will be moving in in a couple of weeks. We have to finish some hardwood floors and take down some wallpaper and paint and then we should be good to go. We can't wait to have a home to call our own and raise Cameron in a great location! I have posted a few recent pictures including one from Halloween. Hope you enjoy and I will try to post more often.
