This past Tuesday, he all of a sudden took off! He's been lunging forward and towards things he wants for a couple weeks, but he officially has the movements and motions of crawling down. He's still a little unsteady, so it's really funny as he lumbers towards something with his arms flopping up and down and his little leggers following behind. He kind of looks like a 4 legged baby monster! :)
Tuesday was also a big day as he pulled himself up to his feet for the first time! We have an "activity table" that plays music and sings, along with buttons, lights and all of a sudden, he was on his feet! I was sitting behind him and it happened all too quickly! He had pulled himself up to his knees a few times, but this was the first time to his feet. He's done it a handful of times since then, too, which means I'm afraid we'll have an early walker. I'm just getting used to the fact that my baby is crawling - I'm not ready to even think about walking yet!
We went in for his 6 month check up on July 3. He was 18 lbs, 14 oz and about 28 inches long. He was in the 95th percentile for his head circumference (yay for a growing brain!) and length, and dipped to the 65th percentile for his weight. Nothing to worry about with his weight, he's just getting taller! His pediatrician was impressed that he was almost crawling, was trying to climb her like a tree during the exam, and that he was playing with the paper covering the exam table. She said it was all normal, healthy things that babies his age should or could be doing.
We're still making progress with his foods! After the fail of avocodoes, we moved onto sweet potatoes! Those have been going better, but he only likes to eat food that is mixed with rice cereal. He LOVES his rice cereal and could eat that non stop! Next on the list, I am going to make him bananas and green beans. YUM YUM!
Last week for Cameron's first 4th of July, we didn't do anything except hang out at home! We were going to go swimming at Uncle Patrick and Auntie Jill's, but decided to postpone that to last Saturday when it wasn't quite so hot out! We were all in bed by 8:30 that night and didn't even watch fireworks! Next year we'll have to :)
Last week Saturday after the 3 of us got home swimming at Patrick and Jill's, we grilled burgers and brought his walker out on the deck for him to sit in. We were playing peek a boo with his burp rag and after we were done playing, we let him play with it. A few minutes later, we noticed that he was playing peek a boo with it by himsefl! He'd take the rag, cover his face, and then pull it down really quickly. It was too funny! So of course, we joined back in and played peek a boo with him like that for awhile longer. It was nice not having to move the rag up and down, over and over again, and it was fun watching him do it himself!
This past Sunday we went to Great Grandma Sorensen's cabin in Spicer to celebrate Great Auntie Rachel's 50th birthday! It was so much fun being on the lake and spending time with everyone. Quite a few of Ryan's family was able to make it and it's always fun relaxing and seeing everyone!
Today was a low key Saturday. Cameron and I slept in until 7:30 while Ryan went off to work. Then, my friend Jessica brought over some fun toys that her girls were done playing with - thanks, Jessica! Cameron loves crawling through the caterpillar tunnel... it's so funny to play peek a boo with him while we're on opposite ends of the tunnel. Then, we met Amber and Andy at Cabela's in Rogers. There were up doing some shopping and we decided to meet them and check out all the fishies! Cameron loved staring at the fish in the aquariums, as well as spend some time smiling and playing with his auntie and uncle!
This week's goal: practicing with a sippy cup! No, we're not phasing out the bottle, but I'm going to start introducing the sippy cup during meal time and try to start using the bottle for mornings and bed times.
My absolute favorite picture of my Love!
Peek a Boo!
Crawling through my new tunnel!
I think I'll just rest here and watch you swim for awhile!

Ummm, okay mom, maybe I don't like avocodoes!
