Eight Months

The other day I put a bunch of toys around Cameron to keep him amused while I folded laundry. Instead of playing with his toys he spent a good half an hour playing with his drawstrings. I just love the way he can now entertain himself with the littlest things!

Where has the time gone? I can't believe this little guy is getting so close to one year! Cameron is a lot of fun to have around. He is generally a very happy baby. He has two teeth now and likes trying new food. He has a funny little fake laugh that is sort of like a "courtesy laugh," but when something really amuses him (usually Steven) he just cracks up. He scoots around and pretty much gets where he wants to go, but isn't quite crawling yet. He has started getting up on his knees a lot so I'm sure it won't be too long before he does. He likes toys and can amuse himself for a good chunk of time, but he also still loves being held by his mama. He is starting to develop an opinion about people, and he definitely is not a fan of babysitters. He is finally getting onto somewhat of a schedule. For the first seven or eight months he was a terrible napper and just took cat naps, but he will now take a good nap at 12:00 if I can hold him off from cat napping in the morning. He is a terrible night sleeper though because he prefers to snuggle with mom while he sleeps, and if he wakes up and realizes he is in his crib he is quick to let us know he is not pleased. We are working on that one :-). He is a bit of a chunk and weighs over 20 pounds. He loves his big brother and sister, and is very tolerant of them being all over him. Overall, he is a good baby and a happy little guy. Now if we could just get that night time thing figured out!
