I realize that I have not posted in a long time, but here I am now.
Cameron is growing up so quickly, I can't believe that we now have an 18 month old. I remember when he was so little and just wanted to be held and now he is everywhere all day long.
He had is 18 month appointment a couple of weeks ago and the doctor said he was growing wonderfully. He is now 26 lbs and 6 oz. (at least at that time) and is 32 inches tall (but I don't think the nurse stretched him like they are supposed to because that is only an inch in 3 months and I can tell from his pants that he has grown more than an inch.) His iron levels are still down and have only moved up a point in the past 3 months, which has lead me to call the doctor and request that we try to figure out why his iron is low instead of just treating it. So we are waiting to hear back from her tomorrow.
Even with the low iron he is still extremely active. He is all around the house following me, pulling me where he wants me and constantly bringing me books to read to him. He is your typical boy, when we go outside I am constantly telling him not the throw the rocks and stay away from Daddy's tools. I know he is going to enjoy being outside more when the weather gets warmer. We are hoping to get a swing set for him soon. I know he will be going up and down the slide all day long.
Over the past couple of months we have had him evaluated for his lack of talking. They agreed that he does need help in that area and now we have a speech pathologist coming out to our house once a week. Our first appointment was yesterday and it went well. Cameron was playing shy at the beginning but warmed up to Ms. Kelly after a short time. We are first going to start teaching him sign language so he can communicate with us in some way and then we are going to work on getting sounds and words out of him. He uses the sign for "more" and just learned "help" yesterday and is already using it. Granted he has stopped using "more" and is just using "help" now, but it is still progress. We are hopeful that he is going to learn quickly since he seems to learn everything else quickly.
I will continue to post more frequently and I will get new pictures up soon, but for now I have to go.
