For Halloween Cameron was a little dragon and he was really cute. We walked just to the end of our street and back to the house and that was enough. It was cold and rainy and we had enough. Also, on October 13th his bottom left one year molar came in and then on the 31st his top two one year molars came in.
For Thanksgiving we stayed home and ate dinner with my family at my parents home.
December was a crazy month just trying to get prepared for Christmas. I was deteremined this year to be prepared for Christmas and not overwhelmed like I was the previous year. I believe I started my Christmas shopping in early November and I felt much better with my preparation. On December 7th we went over to one of Jason's co-worker's/friends house for a Christmas work party. Cameron and their daughter Josie played well together and ended up having their very first kiss that night. I was definately not ready for that, but it was cute. December 16th, we went to the Christmas Cantata at Rolling Hills Baptist Church, where we have been attending, and I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. That was a very emotional day and just a huge relief off of my shoulders. I was very excited! On the 17th he started to blow kisses when saying bye to someone. On December 19th, we took Cameron to EnterTrainment Junction to look at trains and to see Santa for the second time. He loved the display, but I loved what happened afterwards. He said Momma for the first time, and pretty much since then he hasn't stopped talking. He is so much fun. Also, on the 19th he started to "Boom" people and things. He goes up to someone and something and hits it and says "BOOM". He is a funny boy.
In January and February he continued to say and learn more words. On February 1st his bottom left incisor tooth came in. On February 26th he went to the doctor for his 18 month appointment. He weighed in at 23 pounds, 32 1/2 inches long, and his head was 18 3/4 inches in circumference. I believe a week before his 18 month appointment I had to take him to the doctor, because he had been wheezing while at Jason's mom and dad's house. So the doctor gave him and inhaler to use in case it happened again.
March was a very very busy month. On March 3rd I got Baptized and Jason got Baptized again to support me. Both sets of our parents were there and Jason's grandparents were in there as well. It was great to have the love and support of our family and new friends at our church. I also believe this was the last night that Cameron got a bottle before going to bed. On the 4th I just gave him his milk in a sippy cup and we never had an issue again. So that was way easier than I thought it was going to be. Next is the pacifier. He only uses it when he goes to sleep, so hopefully it won't be too bad, but he definately asks for it when he is upset at night time. We shall see. My goal is for it to be gone by 2. Wish me luck. The following weekend we went to Ironton so Jason's parents could watch Cameron while my parents were out of town. While he was there he started wheezing again and having problems breathing. When he got home on Wednesday he was still having issues despite being on Zyrtec nightly, using his inhaler, and taking benadryl. We went to the doctor the next day and they gave him a breathing treatment and a prescription for Singulair and Prednisone. We ended up going back to the doctor on Friday, because his inhaler wasn't giving him the relief like it was before. So he ended up getting 2 breathing treatments that day and we got the go ahead to go to Florida which we were planning on doing that afternoon. We ended up leaving for Florida about 2:30 that afternoon and by that evening Cameron was already breathing better and was very excited to be heading to Florida. We arrived in Fort Walton Beach, Florida on Saturday afternoon and pretty much headed straight to the beach. Cameron was not afraid of the sand or the water. He absolutely loved it. We had a pretty good week. The first two days were in the 70's and then it was in the 60's the rest of the week. We had fun and it was great to just be away and spend time together as a family without any other destractions. Cameron's breathing got better and better throughout the week and I believe the last time he used his inhaler was on March 23rd. He is still taking the Singulair at night, but I think it is helping keep things under control, because he did better at Jason's mom and dad's this past weekend. Needless to say we have been out of town for 4 weekends in a row and I am excited to just be able to stay at home this weekend.
So that is pretty much everything that has happened in the last 5 1/2 months. Some of Cameron's loves in his little life right now are obviousely his Mommy and Daddy. He is obsessed with tractors and big trucks, he likes shoes, loves to eat potatoes, loves to be outside, loves his Gigi, Tat, Tedaw, and Momaw, loves his cousin Layla, and loves to run around and act crazy. He is so much fun and I just love him to death. Below are all the words that Cameron is saying right now. I can't believe how smart he is. He knows his colors and we are also starting to count. He can count to 2 now. Haha.

I can't believe I named 82 words that he is saying. Is this normal for a 19 1/2 month old? Is this normal for a mother of a 19 1/2 year old to know how many words they are saying? Well, hopefully it won't be another 5 1/2 months before the next blog. I will try and do better. Enjoy!!!
