41 Weeks Old--March 19, 2009

41 Weeks Old
I have my new walking shoes on!

Still taking pics Mom!

Ok...I will smile for you!

Look @ that coy little face!

Cameron was to the Dr. last Friday for his well (9 month) visit. He weighed 19 lbs. 14 oz. & was 29 inches long. This put him the 35% in weight, which the Dr. said was normal and the 75% in height. Of course, you know what I think of the almighty charts! He did well at the Dr. He got one shot & Grandma Edgar went along since she was off from work. Cameron has pretty much moved strictly to the regular/normal crawl. He has confidence now & can move quite quickly. He is getting braver everyday. He cruises quite a lot. He use to hold on with two hands, but now he uses one hand. Nervous Nelly are both Bill & I. I know he will suffer bumps & bruise along the way to this new independence. Of course, when he does fall & cry, Mommy scoops him up to tell him it is ok....I love just holding him!

Last weekend I took Cameron, for the 1st time in months, out in public with other people. I have been avoiding contact with others, but I bit the bullet & went. We ate at the Olive Garden with Grandma Edgar, Great-Aunt Kathleen, Great-Great Aunt Tootie & Cousin Joyce. Cameron was batting his eyes at the waitresses & made new friends. They stopped & fussed over him...He loved it! He was very well-behaved at the restaurant, which the waitresses complimented us on. I continue to pray every night that God continues to assist Bill & I in raising Cameron to be well-behaved, respectful & to know right from wrong. I also ask for Patience...a lot of patience!! We also went to the mall & Cameron was measured for his 1st pair of walking shoes at Stride Rite. We bought a good pair of shoes & a bigger pair of sandals for the summer. He again was well-behaved.

By the way--Cameron now says "Da-Da." Bill's heart just melted the 1st time.
