Cameron's One Year Update!!

Sweet baby boy is now officially a one year old!!  I feel like a lot has changed with his development this last month.  Here, as always, are the highlights and recap of his routine and the new things he is up to!
  • In bed around 8:30 and sleeps until 8 usually or even later, sometimes 8:30-9!
  • Naps are still at 10 and 3 usually and last 2 hours.  But sometimes he has to skip the morning nap and takes a long afternoon nap from 1:30-4:30-5.  We will probably move him to one afternoon nap before too long.  
  • No more bottles.  :(  We gave him his last bottle Sunday and now he has organic whole milk in the morning and at night before bedtime.
  • He drinks from the sippy cup, but is cranky about it sometimes.  He would guzzle down the milk from the bottle, which is not the case with the sippy cup! But more and more he picks it up and holds it to drink without needing help.  With his milk we have to help if we want him to drink it all!
  • Still in size 4 diapers and wearing 12-18 month clothes.
  • He is a super fast crawler and gets around the house without a problem.  He has started walking along things more and taking a step toward things like when he is holding on to the couch and while holding steps and lets go as he reaches for the ottoman.  He has more confidence walking along things as well.
  • Yesterday KK said he stood up for a few seconds on his own... that is exciting so I look forward to seeing him do that, too.
  • He walks with the walker, but is on his tip-toes!  It is really cute.  
  • Still says "mamma" and "dadda" and "go".  He will repeat other sounds as well.  And he seems to maybe be saying "yeah" (not yay).  
  • He feeds himself now!!  We feed him pretty much everything and he chows down. Sometimes he puts way too much in his mouth and has gagged... that is a little scary of course.  But he does ok and we try to slow him down!
  • Already he is getting picky and has his favorite foods...for instance, we will give him some pizza and he will cry if you don't just keep giving him that to eat instead of peas or some kind of fruit.  We try to keep a balance of the good and bad food for him, but based on his not gaining much weight I think I will not worry quite as much about it always being super healthy. 
  • He likes pretty much everything and has had a big variety of food: chicken, hamburger, hotdog, peas, carrots, sweet potato, zucchini, squash, beans, rice, a few tortilla chips!!, waffles, pancakes, grapes, strawberry, pineapple, raisins, cantaloupe, watermelon, blueberries, muffins, oatmeal, yogurt, cheerios (of course), mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and more!! 
  • We turned his carseat around... he enjoys the extra leg room (he is over 2 1/2 feet tall!) and I love being able to hand things to him and talk to him where he can see me. 
  • He had lots of fun at his first birthday party for his friend Bannon!  He hung out with all the "cool kids" eating goldfish and chilling.  :)
His 1 year stats from the doctor:
Weight: 22 lbs 15 oz (50%)
Height: 31 1/2 inches (90%)
Head Circumference: 46 cm (50%)

I was bothered that he only gained 4-5 ounces in the last 3 months, but the doctor said that it could be his body will start to grow on a different growth curve because sometimes kids slow down for a few months and then continue gaining after that.  It is just a little weird to me since he has always gained weight before and Emerson always gained weight... But I will try not to worry that this is a problem.  :)

Here are some pictures of our little man Cam!
Having fun at the golf course!

Love this one... so happy with daddy and Emerson running in the background.
