Cameron explained that getting so much time at home means being present for every milestone – even the tiniest ones.
“People have always said to me, ‘Really enjoy the time when your baby grows so fast,'” she said. “And literally every single day, there’s just leaps and bounds and these things that happen. She’s not the same baby she was yesterday!”
“It’s so gratifying to actually get to see that growth and to be a part of it and to help let her be her,” she added. “It’s just amazing. It’s the best thing that ever happened to both Benj and I … We’re just so happy.”

“We have ‘Baby Shark’ on rotation, we have ‘Elmo’s Song.’ We have ‘Sesame Street.’ It’s crazy. We’re like jamming out over there, and she loves it!” Cameron said. “The thing that I don’t understand is, you go, “I will never play that music for my child. That’s crazy.’ But you watch their response, and they’re so taken by it. It’s like, she changes. She’s like, ohhhh! My people!'”
