Sibling rivalry... who knew there were so many stages?

-->Cameron first home from the hospital...

Cameron: lays around like a blob
Megan: NO! MOMMY has to get me milk! MOMMY has to read me a story!

-->Cameron starting to crawl...

Megan: Awww... Cameron is so cute
Cameron (seeing Megan on Mommy's lap), pushes Megan away and wants to crawl on instead

-->Cameron starting to walk...

Cameron: ...must follow Megan... must be near Megan...
Megan: I wish David was taking care of Cameron

-->Cameron starting to pay attention to books...

Megan: (on lap)Read me this story...
Cam: (pushing Megan away, bringing me a different book)

-->Cameron starting to talk, and spin, and dance...

Megan: Awww, Cam is so cute
Cam: MY MOMMY (or at least the equivalent action)

-->FINALLY STARTING TO BE MUTUALLY HAPPY WITH EACH OTHER... (Saturday)

Cam: Mommy! Outside! (points to door)
Me: Okay, we need to get you a diaper. Cam lays down for a diaper. And clothes... Cam puts his arms up for clothes. And socks... and shoes... and MY shoes. We need a sweatshirt. For me, for you. Here's your push car. We head out the door.
Megan (from the computer): Bye!
We head out the door, down the driveway...
Cam: May! (pointing toward the door) I'm pretty sure this means Megan.
Back up the driveway, Back into the house...
Cam (now at the computer next to Megan) May! Out! (tries to pull her up)
Megan: No, thanks, Cam. I'm playing on the computer
Cam: May! Out? Outside??
Megan: No, I'm busy
Cam: May? Pleeee? (he knows to say Please when he wants something)

Cam settles for sitting next to Megan at the computer (SO SWEET!)

AND....
We drop Megan off at her Dad's after the company picnic. When we pull out of the driveway, Cam starts crying and pointing to her seat. "May? May? May?" Awwwww....
