I'm 6 weeks old! :)

Well, hello there! I hit a 6 weeks old today! So, I guess I should start sleeping in longer stretches at night. Mommy and Daddy are not fans of the 2-3 hours that they get at a time.

I finally decided I would take a binky from Mommy the other day. I guess it's not that bad. She seemed REALLY happy about it! So, maybe I'll do it again. She should be able to take me out to the store sometime soon now. :)

Look at me in big boy clothes. OK, yes they are still too big for me, but my parents keep thinking I am bigger than I am. Maybe they'll fit in about a month. Besides, it was a bit too cold for that short sleeved shirt yesterday anyway.

All right...this one is a bit of an embarrassment for me. I THOUGHT that this was Mommy and, yes, I was nursing on Daddy's nose. Ummm...let's never talk about this again.

My Day at Fox

I spent lunchtime yesterday (my 7th and 8th feeding of the day) visiting Daddy at work. I think I liked it, but Daddy seemed a bit preoccupied with random people calling him on the phone and stopping by his office.....he wasn't able to focus very well.

When we did spend time together, it made me glad mom isn't the jealous type. Daddy works with all girls.....like ALL OF THEM. Many people held me, and said I was cute (duh!)......Nicole (who will produce a friend for me in about 2 months), Annie, Lauren, Cathy, Ali and so many others. It was a lot of fun, and we got to eat outside at the studio. Now, when do I get my first acting part?!!?

----------------

Today is funny - it is going in between pouring rain and beautiful sun. I heard Aunt Brenda had to evacuate her house in Hilo in case of a TSU-NAAAA-ME.....I hope she is OK.

And, today is a BIG DAY - today I go from newborn diapers to size one diapers. Woo Hoo. I'm a big boy now.

---------------

Finally, I love mommy and daddy. I now recognize them fully, and they sing with me and it makes me smile.....a lot!!!

More visitors for me!

Hiya! I had a nice day today. In between eating and pooping, I got to hang out with 2 new friends. This is me with Cathy.

And here I am with Bonnie. They came over with Grammy and took me and Mommy to lunch. I really had a good time with them and proved it by sleeping through the whole thing! :)

More with Aunt Becky

Well, I may have gotten a little grumpy last night, so...Aunt Becky didn't get a perfect picture with me. But, here are some good moments from her trip!
Oh Aunt Becky! Thank you for the morning smooch!! I loved having you here. :)

Hee hee hee. Daddy, you are so silly!

Aunt Becky and I had a nice, relaxing time. Just chillin' out on the couch - watching HGTV.

And here I am this morning. Mommy took this picture. She thought I looked so cute. But, I'm still a little grumpy. ;)

Aunt Becky'sVisit

Well HELLO THERE.......and welcome to this WEEK 5 installment of "Cameron's World," written and edited by me, Cameron Bryce Ames. Very glad you decided to stop by. Someone else stopped by this weekend, Aunt Becky.........not only did she come out here to see me, but I think she was very happy to come out and get away from the cold and snow in Washington D.C. where she lives. She brought me my first pair of Osh Kosh B'Gosh overalls and an American University t-shirt (mommy and daddy's alma matter).......even though Daddy keeps talking about Pine Trees at someplace called Stanford for me.......... Bath time has gotten much better for me......so long as I am being bathed in the sun......above the waist only please, ladies........

Aah, it was a rough day............

Becky's artistic interpretation of hand and face. Yes, that is my hand, which is in the foreground.

Finally, me at peace.

Aunt Becky took these pics on her camera...........I'm sure mommy will upload pictures with Aunt Becky in them sometime this week, so you can see us together.

PS - Springtime is here........the daffodils are starting to bloom, the raspberries have their leaves starting to come in, and daddy planted green beans this morning...........aah, I love the sun!!!

Hope everyone has a great week. Love and kisses from LA!

More Nicknames

Cameron = The Milk Man
Mom = Dairy Queen

Dad was in New York the past few days, but when he came back last night, I was soooo happy to see him. I really have been smiling a lot for him last night and this morning.......

Aunt Becky is in town to visit me (I am very popular), which is very cool. I'm sure mom and dad will post some pictures later this weekend with her holding me (she is very comfortable doing so).

Some more pics from Valentine's Day

Aunt Helen & Uncle Andy just hanging out with me!! I slept the whole time. Aaaahhhh...

It was a celebration for Terry's (I mean Grandpa's) birthday. Happy Birthday! Sure wish I'd been able to eat some of that banana cream pie. Mmmmm.

Well, hello Aunt Vicki!! So happy to meet you! We had a nice little chat. :)

Grammy & Aunt Helen couldn't put me down. Who can blame them?

Happy Birthday!

Birthday shout-outs to Grandpa "T" and Uncle Mike!!!!

New Nickname!

Mom has started calling me "Mini-Smooch." Daddy is "Mega-Smooch." I like.

Daddy took me for a 90 minute walk all by himself today.......we walked to Ralph's to do some shopping, then took a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood. I slept the entire time, like a good boy.

Earlier today I got to meet a plumber......nice guy. He cleared up mom and dad's shower. Sure am glad my whale bathtub doesn't get stopped up like that.

Bye for now.

Four Week Checkup

I am four weeks old today, and leave it to mom and dad to keep me busy and always learning.

In these photos, you'll see me eating at the table for "T's" birthday celebration, daddy giving me my first successful bottle.....1.5 ounces in about 6 minutes flat (college, here I come!).....and mommy opening a gift for me, my first Bar-b-que, how appropriate!!!! I'm going to be a grilling machine.




For now, I'm an eating and pooping machine. I'm going for a record.......24 hours of continuous nursing (I'm pretty close) and at least 12 diapers each day (ask dad, that is pretty much my norm right now). Aah, such a life.......

Dad went back to work this past week, but he still seems in good spirits most nights. He kisses me A LOT. He's probably happy because he gets to go to bed by 9pm each night......heaven for Daddy.

I'm getting better at bath time.......

The winter olympics started this weekend. Daddy is a big fan, and while mom and dad won't let me watch the TV, I know what is going on. I'm thinking of trying out for this biathalon thing - shooting and cross-country skiing, interesting.

This weekend, I met Aunt Vicki and Uncle Gerry for the first time. Happy friendly people, so I let them hold me lots. Over the next two weeks, I get to meet Aunt Becky, Aunt Bonnie and this guy with bushy eyebrows that I keep seeing on Skype on the computer, that is my Great Grandfather Pop-Pop......they are all flying in just to meet me, I am very loved.

Dad is venturing off to New York this week for a couple of days.....I promise to be extra good for mommy.

Bye for now!!! Lots of love.

My First Holiday - Valentine's Day

Well, hello there. Happy Valentine's Day one and all. Today, we went over to Grammy and Terry's house. Tomorrow is "T's" birthday, so we had bar-b-que of course....my first one ever. Ribs at only four week's old, and on a Weber of course! This is me and my Uncle "G"


So many ladies wanted to be my Valentine. :)

This year, I chose to be MOMMY'S VALENTINE, of course......poor Daddy :) Hee Hee!!! But, for a few moments, I strayed.......but "she's a real doll!" I think mommy is pretty hot though........

It's been a rough day! I had to eat, sleep AND dirty a bunch of diapers...


So, mom and I had our first day at home together. I was a really good boy, but I didn't let her shower until Grammy came over in the afternoon. We all went out for a walk and hung out at the Coffee Bean. Yum! There was a nice guy there who even moved his seat so he didn't smoke near me. No one even had to ask! :)

Nicknames

So, I'm a little bit confused. I thought my name was CAMERON, but mommy and especially daddy seem to be calling me a lot of different names. Here are some that come to mind:
- ZOOLANDER - I think this is my poopy diaper face, but I look like some guy in a movie of the same name.
- MILKY WHITE - So, I like to play with my food.....gotta problem with that?!?!?!?
- FIDGET MONKEY - Dad can't sit still, and neither can I.
- SWADDLE MONKEY - This was an early one, but I like to have my arms and hands free, so not much swaddling for me these days.
- CAMERONY MACARONI - This is dad's favourite one when he is taking me in for a diaper change.

Oh, and by the way, I officially rolled over from my tummy to my back yesterday on a flat surface. GG says I did it when she was here, but this is the first verified roll in my tummy time playplace. Daddy seemed very excited.

I am making a lot of eye contact with mom and dad these days.....I totally know who they are, after all, they feed and change me!!!

Dad was home all of this past week. He seemed to be working alot, but it was nice to have him around. Mommy and I will start our new routine this coming monday......

Raining again!

Here it is - Day 19 and it's raining AGAIN! I feel like it's been raining for most of my life. And, boy, do I like the sun soooo much better. At least we don't have to go anywhere today.

My dad has been working from home this week and we've had fun going out to lunches and running some small errands. I am sure getting out a lot for being less than 3 weeks old. And mom says I slept really well last night, so she's happy today despite the rain.
These are just a couple of photos from the last day or two, including one of Mommy's Auntie "M." She got to come visit me in the hospital. Very cool! :)

Photo Opp for the Birth Announcement - DAY 16

Greetings from Sherman Oaks on Day 16 of my life here on Earth.......

So, today, mom and dad did a portrait session with me for my birth announcements.....I was in Dad's favourite outfit.

I put up four of the pictures they took, not sure if they will pick one of these, or another one all together (I think they took like a gazillion), but I'm sure whichever one they choose I will look super cute.

Oh yeah, check out the squirrel eating the orange in a tree out back, I think I am about the size of the cute squirrel and the odd garden gnome. What is up with mommy's love of gnomes? Shouldn't she just be loving me???



(Check out the last picture - between that one and my "going home from the hospital" Small Paul pose, I think I'm gonna go beat someone up on the playground......hee hee......)
