Just measurements from today...

Loving some green popsicles.
Playing with Daddy!
Can you see the 2 bumps on my neck? The doctor took these off today. Dancing with Mommy!! My new favorite thing.

Cameron is 23 and 1/2 lbs & a little over 32 inches tall. He has gained 5 lbs. in the almost 5 months he has been with us. And he grew 3 inches in that time. His pants still don't fit though. Since he has gotten taller he lost his beer belly. I just wish I could keep him little. He is talking like crazy but he still is shy around other people to talk yet. He says: momma, dadda, bubba (his nickname courtesy of mommy), hi, bye, baby, ball, up, morning, come on, meow, moo, baa, one, two, peek-a-boo and boo. I know there is more but I am a little sleepy to remember. He makes all kinds of silly sounds & just discovered how to click his tongue. They count on Sesame Street so he is now crazy about counting with his fingers. If you start with one he does count to five. He is really good about putting shapes in the correct holes on a couple of his toys. The only foods he doesn't like are pizza and hamburger meat. And surprisingly he doesn't like spicy stuff. He is a like his mommy & daddy and loves his shoes. Sadly he has toys but not like a lot of kids I have seen. Mommy buys him mostly shoes & clothes instead. You all know he is so cute when you see him. He has had some set backs. I think separation anxiety is coming on so right he is in our room in the pack-n-play. But this is also b/c he had surgery today. He has had some meltdowns in the last couple of weeks. Certain things are triggering him to cry unconsolable. Nothing in particular but I keeping an eye out. Yes we are protective of him but we know enough about attachment & the problems that arise with adoption. Sometimes I may ask you to give him back to us or put him down but don't be offended. We are his parents & know when the meltdowns are coming on. As soon as he has one the whole day is a mess. Love you all!!
