On the move

"Something from the toy basket? Sure, I'll get it!"

Toddling

Cameron has been taking a few steps between objects for a long time now, but it's almost been like the moment he notices that he's not holding onto something, he loses focus and falls on his butt. But I think he was inspired by his buddy Lucas, because shortly after hanging out for an afternoon, he is suddenly walking around with confidence, and even going from sitting to standing without pulling up on an object.

It's pretty adorable to see the look on his face as he walks wherever he wants to go; he's so proud and elated.

Lots of people told me that it would take about two weeks from when he took his first steps to when he was just walking around on his own with intention. Well, eh, it took two months, but who's counting? He's there!

Train Town

We planned to meet up with some friends and go to Train Town in early January, but we got rained out. Fortunately, the second day we chose was beautiful and warm! We had never been up there before, and so we enjoyed checking things out.

We rode a little train back into the woods.

It stopped at a petting zoo, where Cameron got his hand licked by a goat. He was both amused and a little wary!

Next to the petting zoo was a little model town.

Cameron decided to go to school and learn about colors.

We also took a ride on a carousel and a ferris wheel, and even had fun playing with the rocks on the ground. Thanks everyone for a fun afternoon!
