Cameron officially turned 21 months during our trip, but I think I could have easily convinced everyone he was turning 3. Aside from his "solid" physical size, his vocabulary is equally impressive as he can communicate pretty much everything. Everyone agreed that Cameron (or as my brother referred to him only as "Cameroon my man") is particularly fun right now because he is just so agreeable about everything. You ask him to say something, he says it, you ask him to give someone a hug, he gives them a hug, you ask him to go get something, he gets it. It makes him especially endearing right now because he's just so sweet and out-to-please. His charm offense was in full force on the trip and he instantly won everyone over. Some of our favorite moments included the fact that Cameron slept in our room on most nights. This is not normal for us so we learned that he is a rather light sleeper. Whenever he would hear Brian or I move in the bed he would respond with "Hi Mommy, Hi Daddy." And if we didn't respond he would simply yell it louder and louder until we did. And if we responded by saying "shhh, it's nighttime go back to bed." He would then whisper back to us, "ok, Hi Mommy, Hi Daddy" and of course we couldn't help but laugh. I kid you not, this happened every night. It was equal parts annoying and adorable.
Another favorite was that at Scott and Wendy's, because they were just days away from moving, they had already packed up most of their stuff. This left an empty shelf downstairs that Wendy hung a blanket from. The kids loved hiding behind it and playing peekaboo. Cameron especially thought it was funny to hide behind the blanket and say "Where's Cameron?" and then come running out. It was so cute to see his little feet hiding behind the blanket.
Cameron also got more comfortable with having my sister's dogs Riley and Lucy around. At first he screamed whenever he saw them and was pretty cautious around them. By the last day, the dogs were the ones that were cautious around Cameron because he loved chasing them around.
