Catching up--the last 3 months

Happy Birthday, Cameron.

Tim & I were blessed with a beautiful baby boy born Memorial Day weekend. Cameron Walker arrived on May 23rd at 5:08 p.m.. He weighed 6 lbs. 15 oz. & was 20 1/2 inches long. He was delivered via Caesarean section by Dr. Rohrer at Women's East after 17 hours of labor!! Grandparents were all there eagerly awaiting his arrival. Now it all seems like a dream but seeing him for the first time was truly amazing.


Height & Weight Stats

1 month checkup--Weight 9 lbs. 14 oz. 21 1/4 inches long
2 month checkup--Weight 12 lbs. 14 oz. 23 1/4 inches long
**He likes to eat every two hours & sleeping for long periods of time is for the weak!!**

Cute things he did--baby bird face, snorting, covering his face w/his hands, he loves taking a bath, & prefers to sleep/nap on left side of chest to hear your heartbeat . He laughs out loud & it sounds like "eekk" or something resembling the velosaraptor screech out of the Jurassic Park movies. He also does this hilarious thing with his tongue that resembles a lizard--he sticks his tongue out constantly.

Cameron has been to his first birthday party, taken his first boat ride, & even slept overnight on the boat with mom & dad when he was 6 weeks old. Cameron is a happy baby who acts like he's trying to talk to you all the time. Sometimes it sounds like he's saying "hey" when he's babbling to you. He also has this "fake cough" he uses when he thinks you're not paying attention to him.



One of our first big milestones was reached on September 11th--he rolled over for the first time while entertaining himself on his playgym. He can roll from him back to his stomach but hasn't figured out how to get back over again.
