We can’t believe that our baby is 6 months old. It seems like we were just taking that first scary car ride home. The past month has seen lots of firsts for Cam. We left him at home with his grandmothers for 10 days while we went to Hawaii to celebrate Ally’s 30th, it was sad leaving him and we missed him throughout the whole trip but it was nice to get away for a bit and be able to sleep in some. When we came home we found he had a tooth! He now has his two bottom front teeth, and it looks like there are a few more that could surface any day now.

He has been using his hands much more and grabbing at everything, we figured this would be a good time to introduce real food into his diet. Since me and Ally love guacamole – and all things Mexican – we thought avocado would be a fun first food. He didn’t love it but also didn’t spit it out, a good start! We’ve tried a few other things and have had varying levels of success, but we are at least getting him used to the taste and texture of different foods.

We traveled to Grandma’s house for the annual St. Patrick’s day shin-dig where Camron got to meet his newest cousin, Cian, born February 15th.

We stayed local for Easter, hiked Mt. Wachusett, but since we hadn’t seen Ally’s dad in a while we went to visit the Saturday before and brought Cam to the beach for the first time. Just like mom, he loved it. At least he loved watching Rusty run around and crashing into the water.

Cam’s really been enjoying bath time, he loves splashing his arms and legs in the water so we though it would be fun to put him in the tub rather than the kitchen sink. Ally loaded up the tub with toys and filled it with water. Cam loved it! Tried grabbing for all the toys floating by and loved his new found freedom to stretch out. He’s getting so big….

First time in the tub

Other than that we’ve just been enjoying our time with him, Rusty loves having him around and always keeps an eye on him.
