Camden is TWO

What the hell, time?  Did you drink a bunch of Red Bull or something and decide to literally fly by?!  I thought the first year of Camden's life went by fast, but looking back at how quickly the second year went by - I am proven wrong.  It feels like last week (OK, maybe last month) that I was reflecting on his first year of life.

Now, my little love is two and I can hardly believe it.  Two!

I know that every mother thinks their kid is special and wonderful and all, but inside I feel like the frigging president of the proud mommy coalition - today especially.

Cam is one special little guy and I get very emotional thinking about the fact that I get to be his mom and just how much that means to me.  It has been amazing to watch him grow and learn this last year; to see him develop his own likes and dislikes, and start voicing his thoughts and opinions.  That last one has been both comical and a test of our patience.  

I shared some Hammy Cammy details back in October, and it's incredible to look back at that post and think about how much he's grown and changed in just that short time.

- Has finally started to say, "I love you."

- Will tell you he has to "go potty."  He really just wants to wash his hands.

- On the way to daycare a few weeks ago he told me, "Mommy! You booiful (beautiful)." I about died.

- His idea of playing with his kitchen is pulling out all of the fruits, vegetables, silverware, plates, etc., leaving them in a heap on the floor, and then walking away to play with something else.

- Will do the most random things and then say, "I funny!"

- Can count to 14.  Why 14?  Because we have 14 steps from the main floor of the house to the upstairs and someone insists on walking by himself.  Counting keeps him from doddling.

- Is slowly learning the ABCs and can recite small sections of them on his own.

- Loves to sit in a "special chair" when we stop for a coffee (for me) and scone (for him) from Starbucks.

- Has started to sing along to "Wheels on the Bus."

- Speaking of "Wheels on the Bus."  At the end of the song, he yells "Mommy!  Shark!" and that's his way of telling me that he wants me to sing "The shark on the bus goes chomp, chomp, chomp..."

- Will tell me, "Mommy! Wook! Moose!" or "Mommy! Wook! (Insert random animal)!" while we are driving down the road.

- Has recently discovered movies and requests Monsters University by pulling the DVD off the shelf all. the. time. 

- If he wants to tell me something "important," he will put his hand on my shoulder and look me right in the eye and say, "Mommy..."

- When out in public, has started saying, "Hi," and waving to anyone that looks in his direction.

- He officially has a timeout corner, because the child gets at least one timeout a day.

So, I get to be the mom of this awesome little human.  Don't get me wrong - we have our challenging moments (and days), and I am always ready when it's time for his nap and bedtime, but I feel very lucky that Camden is ours and we are his.

We had his two year well check up today.

Height: 32 1/2 inches (7th percentile)
Weight: 23 pounds 13 ounces (13th percentile)
Head Circumference: 19 inches (45th percentile)

I didn't know just how much I could love someone until he came along.  The love I feel for him just multiplies every day - even on the rough days when he's living up to the "terrible two" cliche and giving me a hard test in patience.  I cherish our nighttime routine and the few minutes we share after our nightly book, sitting and rocking in the dark, where nothing else in the world matters (to me, anyway).  In those moments, everything is quiet and snuggly.  I hope that someday he will understand even a fraction of how much his dad and I love him and how important he is to us.

It's hard for me to look at him and see him as a big brother.  I see him as my baby.  I suppose I always will, even when he's not the baby anymore.

Happy 2nd Birthday, my squishy man cub.  I am so lucky, and so proud to be your mama.  You've made me a better person, a more grateful person. I love you to the moon and the stars.  You, my little love, are my greatest achievement (at least until your brother or sister comes along and then you'll have to share that title).

Take Luck,

Camden - 18 Months

My Camden Boy is 18 months old.  A year and a half.

I keep asking myself how this even happened, but with the craziness that has been the past few months - it really is no surprise that it snuck up on me.  Time sucks.  I am loving this stage of his little life, just like I've loved all the rest before it.  He has moments of starting to test my patience, but he is still a sweet, funny, and wild little tornado child.  So much so, that my mom has started calling him Camnado.

It's been awhile since I laid out the latest happenings of my man cub, so without further ado:

- He doesn't walk.  He runs.  Everywhere.

- Climbs on everything.

- Loves to play with balls and his baby golf clubs. These toys quickly become weapons. 

- Favorite songs are "Barbara Ann" by The Beach Boys and "Starships" by Nikki Manaj (not even kidding), "Hot Dog" from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and of course, the Bubble Guppies theme song.

- Loves to blow kisses and give real ones, too.

- Gives the best little man hugs and if you are lucky, he will pat your back, too.  A few times I've been crouched down/bent over picking up something and he's come up behind me and given me a backside hug and pat.

- LOVES his daddy.

- Does not tolerate wearing shoes and/or socks while in the car and tries to pull his socks off with his teeth.  Usually unsuccessfully.

- Had his last shrimp swim lesson and will start kipper class at the end of the month.

- Is quite the little chatterbox.  We can't understand 90% of the things he says, but he sure tries.

- Says mama, mommy, dada, daddy, ball, baby, dog, gaga (Grammy), papa (Grampa), Ray-Ray (Rachel), ouch, nana (banana), hi, bye-bye, and Xbox.  That last one, I'm not as proud of.

- Thinks any fruit or vegetable is a banana (nana) and refers to it as such.

- Loves his puppies and tries to say "Sonny" but it comes out "Shu-she."

- Signs "more" and "please."

- Has 12 teeth.

- His favorite books are Barnyard Dance, Is Your Mama a Llama, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear.  The scary thing is that he can pick these three out of a stack when asked. The scarier thing is that I can recite each of these books by heart.

- Recently started jumping.  Or maybe it's hopping?  Seeing a toddler jump/hop is hysterical, by the way.

- Still wants his breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  And yours, too.  And many, many, many snacks.

- Uses a spoon and fork to feed himself.  We're still working on minimizing the mess that comes with self-spoon feeding.

- Can point to his head, nose, tummy, and toes, and thinks "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" is a hoot.

- Has started making diaper changes really, really difficult.  Legs are kicking, a pelvis is thrusting, and there is just generally a lot of squirming going on.  If I had four feet I'd be able to pin his shoulders and his legs.

- Can mean mug like nobody's business.  He gets that from his mama.

- Loves crackers.  Any kind of crackers, really - but his favorites seem to be Ritz, Honey Maid Graham, and Annie's Honey Bunnies. Whatever you do, don't try to give him Annie's Cheddar Bunnies.  Apparently those are not so much his favorite and he will let you know that you've eff'd up.

- Double fists when eating crackers.  Always.

- Smiles and laughs at himself when he lets out a burp or toot.

- Loves to "help" vacuum, sweep, dust, carry things, and put things away.

I could go on and on about this little busy guy.  He lights up our life and we are so grateful to get to be his parents.  I see his smile and hear his laugh and everything seems right in the world.

Until next time.

Take Luck,

Camden - 12 Months

Hammy, Hammy, Hammy.

My baby boy is officially a big baby boy today.  No fun 1-year stats to share, but if you check back on Monday (because, what better things would you have to do?) you can see how much he is not climbing the growth percentile chart.  Funny, because he's trying to climb everything else.

Update:

Height: 28 inches (6th percentile)
Weight: 19 lbs 8 ounces (8th percentile)
Head Circumference: 18 inches (32nd percentile)

His eleventh month of life was full of change and growth.

This boy is a pro walker.  He only crawls now if he's fallen over and is desperately trying to get away from the stomping-tickle-monster-mama.  I swear, the sound of his bare feet slapping against the hardwood floor is just about the sweetest thing I've ever heard.  He is still quite small, and it's really precious to see his little body toddling around the house. I'm waiting for him to just take off running any minute.

He loves (repeat, loves) books and puzzles.  He sits there for several minutes at a time and flips the pages and turns the puzzle pieces over and over and over.  Such a curious boy, he is.

Our ENT consult ended with a recommendation for ear tubes, and he had those put in at the end of November.  Other than being really pissed off after initially coming out of anesthesia, he did great and we've seen major improvements in his sleep and speech since the procedure.

Speaking of sleep, I can happily report that when my alarm clock wakes me up in the morning now, I don't immediately panic that he's stopped breathing and no longer alive, thus explaining why he didn't wake me up.  For a while, I was waking up in this panicked state, making it quite obvious that I wasn't used to getting a full, uninterrupted night's sleep.

And speaking of speech, I'm guessing that he wasn't hearing super clearly, because since his ear tube procedure, he's had sort of a speech explosion.  As much as speech can explode for an 11 month old, anyway.  He proudly says mom/mama, dog (gog), and book (ook).  We're still pushing dad/dada, but he's not biting too hard on that one.

Within the last few days, another bottom tooth has poked through, and another (on the other side) is close behind.  (Seriously, the excitement never ends around here, people!)  It had been so long since his last tooth eruption that I was beginning to worry that he was going to go to Kindergarten with only six teeth!

Apparently, this child is just a bit slow on the food-uptake because we're slowly (but surely) mastering baby finger foods.  Cam loves bananas (will literally rip a banana from my hands), pears, peaches, carrots, green beans, yogurt, cheese, and noodles.    

These past 12 months have been the happiest, and the hardest of my life.   have been dreading this day for a long, long time.  It's such a bittersweet feeling.  I have a very happy, and overall very healthy baby boy, and I'm so happy because he truly is the most amazing gift, the coolest little boy, and I get to be his mama.  But I'm so sad because he's got about 1% baby left in him, and time is just tick-tocking away.  C'est la vie.

Camden James. When seeing those two pink lines, I could have never imagined that you were what I was waiting for.  You are the greatest gift I've ever been given.  Better than I ever dreamed or hoped you would be. You made me a mama.  I didn't know what the hell I was doing when I first became your mama, but you just hung in there like a champ and were along for the crazy ride.  You truly light up my world with your smile, your laugh, your snuggles, and your little personality.  Everywhere we go, people are drawn to you and your smile, and I hope that's a quality that stays with you forever. I am so lucky, and so proud to be your mama.  You've made me a better person. I love you to the moon and the stars. You are my little love. 

Take Luck,

Camden - 11 Months

Well, I guess it's time to face the inevitable. As much as I've tried to deny it - the countdown to my little love being 1 year old is upon us.  Gone are the days when I can prop him up on the chair and he stays put long enough for me to get a picture of him.  He will sit still and smile until I put the camera up to my face and then all hell breaks loose and he's all over the place.

 

No fun stats to share, yet again.  He won't have another well baby check until next month.

He completely ignored my birthday request for sleep and took his first significant steps on my birthday, October 17th, and hasn't really looked back since.  Thankfully, he still prefers to crawl as it gets him places a lot faster than his orangutan/drunken sailor body can move.  He prefers crawling, and so does mama.  I'm squeezing out every bit of baby that I can.

In addition to learning to walk, Cam is mastering his waving and high-fiving.  I am certainly biased but it's about the cutest thing ever to see his chubby little fingers wave hello and goodbye.  He's fascinated by earrings, buttons, zippers, and anything that crinkles when you touch it.

After his fourth ear infection in six months, we became the proud owners of a referral to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) specialist for a tube consultation.  Our appointment is on Thursday, and I'm really anxious to hear what the doctor has to say.  In some ways I'm afraid of hearing that he needs tubes, but I also am confident that if that was the course of treatment - it would help him greatly.  Any sniffle or cold turns into an ear infection, and he's constantly tugging at them.  We'll see!

Sleep is still a monster, and I don't even want to go there.  I told my best friend, Tiffanie, that I never thought we'd still be battling the sleep monster after 11 months - but it seems like there's always something to disrupt him whether it's illness or teething, illness and teething, or meeting a new milestone.  At this rate, he won't sleep until he's five.

I'm too much of a chicken to push real solid/finger foods.  I apparently having a choking complex.  Must be a first time mama thing.  For now, I'm riding the pureed baby food train and he seems to be just fine with that.

Camden lights up my life and seems to charm the pants off anyone he meets (although not literally, thank goodness).  He is happy, happy, happy, and for that - I am grateful.

Now, I'm off to browse first birthday party invitations... Wah wah.

Take Luck,

Camden - 10 Months

Camden James.  10 months old.  Double digit months.  Another month closer to a full year.  Lordy, I have issues.

Practicing his high five

While he didn't have a 10-month well baby check up, he did get to see his pediatrician yesterday thanks to a new cold and yucky, yucky, croupy cough.

My little big boy weighs a whopping 18 lbs 3 oz, putting him somewhere in between the 5th and 10th percentile.  I guess I shouldn't be too shocked that he's still wearing 3-6 month and 6 month clothes, and absolutely swimming in his 9 month clothes.

This child is a mobile manic.  One of his favorite games to play is "I'm gonna get you..." where I pretend stomp/chase him down the hallway as he crawls and squeals away from me.  (I have to admit that I love this game too).  He continues to pull up on everything and stands alone without holding onto anything more and more.  He's taken a few little baby steps, but nothing to get too excited over because I'm pretty sure his rolly-polly-Buddah-belly is propelling him forward in those instances.

Sometimes I think he's starting to learn the word "No."  This child still loves weaseling his way to the Xbox console and stereo system, so we've started saying, "No," very sternly when he gets close to touching/cranking.  He also loves the bathroom and has a new-found love for toilet paper and pulling it off the roll.  Something tells me this will be a fascination for quite some time.

Toilet paper eating scolding

My Hammy boy still loves his baby food and really gets cranky if we don't feed him as fast as he prefers.  I guess we need to work on manners.  Just kidding.  I do know we need to start trying real solid/people food - but I'm just a big fat chicken and am afraid he's going to choke.  I know, I know - first time mother problems over here.

Swim lessons got better and better each week.  It's safe to say that he much prefers the safety and enclosure of his own private bath than the big pool.  This boy loves to splash.

I swear, his blonde/brown hair is growing a little more everyday.  Some mornings he even wakes up with a little bed head. Never in my wildest did I ever dream Ryan and I would have a blonde hair, blue eyed kiddo - that's for sure.

He's learning to play peek-a-boo and how to give a high five.  He thinks both of these things are just the bees knees.

This child is a hoot, and I'm pretty sure he knows it. And even though I get all Debbie Downer when it comes to these monthly "birthdays" (and I know I'll be a total in-denial-basketcase on the days surrounding first birthday) it has been so much fun to see him grow each day, and watch him as he takes in the world around him.

Take Luck,

Camden - 9 Months

Cam has officially spent more time OUT of the womb than he spent IN.

Wah wah wah, I'm a hot emotional mess.  Moving on.

His 9-month well baby check isn't until tomorrow - so for those of you who are just dying to know his statistics, you'll have to come back tomorrow afternoon.


Breaking statistics update:
Length: 27 1/2 inches (29th percentile)
Weight: 18 lbs 10 oz (23rd percentile)
Head Circumference: 18 inches* (66th percentile)

*The doctor said that the particular nurse that measured his head tends to measure big and that come his 1-year well baby check, his stats won't look so lopsided.

This boy loves to crawl up and down (and up and down) the hallway, attempting to sneak into the bathroom.  Sometimes I will leave the bedroom doors open and sit at the living room end of the hallway and just watch him as he explores - going in and out of each room.  He seems to think the exploring is pretty awesome.   

He continues to pull himself up on everything - and I swear that he is getting more agile by the day.  One second he's sitting or crawling, and the next he's up on his chubby feet.  The boy is getting brave and will totally let go from whichever coffee table, couch, empty box of diapers, or mama's leg he was just holding onto to.  I think we've got an adventurer on our hands.

We wised up and positioned some of his toys in front of the Xbox console and stereo system - so thankfully, that has kept him from blaring the volume several times a day.  I swear, we're educated, people.

He still loves his baby food and gets very annoyed if we get distracted or do not feed him fast enough.  We've introduced Puffs but like baby food, it's taking some time for him to embrace their puffy-goodness.  He'll get there.

Cam started his "Shrimp" swim lessons two weeks ago.  It's safe to say that he thoroughly enjoys his baby pool and bath much more than a big pool.  This kid doesn't mind being in the water, but clings to me with a death grip, doesn't like being splashed in the face, and loathes (seriously) back floating.  During back floating (where I am holding and singing to him), his little chubby legs stick straight up in the air, his eyes are squeezed shut, he's clawing for my face/neck/body, and he's crying.  The instructor showed me a different way to hold him so I'm hoping that Saturday will be slightly less traumatic.

Three more teeth have come in, bringing his grand total to six (four top, two bottom).  I may be slightly biased, but he has the cutest giant-gapped-tooth smile I've ever seen.

Camden is so happy.  So happy.  And I'm finding that it's nearly impossible for me to be in a bad mood when I'm around him.  His personality shines through more everyday and the pictures I took today totally show it. He is a very special little boy, and I just feel so lucky to be his mama.

Take Luck,

Camden - 8 Months

Eight months.

While out and about today, I had several people ask me how old Camden was.  And with each reply, I said that he was, "Eight months today," as if to emphasize that he is newly eight months old.  Not to be confused with a seasoned eight month old.  Obviously, I have issues.

 

This child will not sit still.

Mr. Chub Chub weighed 17 pounds 8 ounces at his double-ear infection recheck last week, to land him in the whopping 11th percentile.  It's funny to me because I think he's getting so big.  But really, he's just a wittle guy.  Seriously, seeing him in shorts requires a double take and you have to ask yourself if he's wearing shorts or pants.

I swear that I fall in love with this little boy more every single day.  Maybe that's why I'm having all these issues with him getting so big and "grown up."  I'm going to be a basket case when Camden turns one, and may require an alcoholic beverage or two.  Or six.

 This boy is a crawling machine, continues to pull up on anything and everything, and has started to walk himself along the couch and coffee table.  My guess is he'll be walking by 10 months, if not sooner.  He loves (trying) to play with cords of all sorts, the Xbox console, and the volume knob of the stereo system.  At the moment, his new favorite toy is an empty water jug.

He has totally embraced baby food and loves pears, apples, bananas, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas (as long as they are mixed with something sweet), and any fruit & grain concoction from Earth's Best Organic.  While I was pregnant, I was totally sure I'd be making his baby food.  Let me tell ya - that ship sailed long before I even attempted to throw that in the mix and we love Earth's Best.

Camden loves splashing around in his baby pool and during his weekly bath.  We signed him up for "Shrimp" swim lessons that start at the end of the month, so we'll see how he feels about splashing in a big pool.

 This little bald boy seems to be sprouting a few more hairs on the top of his head - but not much.  He's now rocking one half of a hillbilly tooth on the top, but three more are a mere minutes from showing their faces.

He is completely ignoring me when I tell him to slow down. But I guess that's just practice for the rest of his life.

Cam Cam, I certainly remember our life before you, but now - I can't imagine our life without you.

Take Luck,

LP

Camden - 7 Months

Seven months.

Ayiyiyi.

Here are this mobile baby's stats from his very late six-month well baby check.

Weight: 15 lbs 13 oz (14th percentile)

Height: 26 1/2 inches (40th percentile)

Head Circumference: 17 inches (25th percentile)

This is one happy baby.  I can't say how lucky I feel that he's as happy as he is.

This little man is full on crawling, pulling himself up on anything and everything on his eye level, and really loves to rip my heart out when he stands and only holds onto something with one hand.  He's still President of the two-teeth club and still a little unsure about baby food (but slowly coming around).  One thing is for sure, he loves bath time and splashing around in the water.

Sleep training, although hard, has made a big difference in his sleep - with both naps and at night time.  He was always a good napper, but as I've mentioned, night time meant a lot of up and down for Ryan and me.  Not anymore (knock on wood).

I've been trying to get him to say "Mama" and "Dada" recently, and he just thinks those two words are about the funniest thing - because all he does is laugh.

While I'm sad that this little guy is growing so fast - it's been a lot of fun to see his little personality come through and watch him become his own little person.

Oh, I love my little love.  But seriously, slow it down it little, bud.

Take Luck,

Camden - 6 Months

Six months.  Half a year.

Time is cruel, people.  But, as a good friend pointed out to me today - it's all wonderful, and each age/stage gets better and better.  Well, mostly better.

Because someone kept forgetting to schedule a six-month well baby check-up... Someone won't be having their six-month well baby check-up until he's almost seven months old.  Oops.

He did see the doctor recently so I can report that he weighs 15 lbs 12 oz.  I think a majority of that is in his cheeks, tummy, and thunderous thunder thighs.

I can't say enough about my little love.  He certainly has his moments with teething, but overall he's just happy as can be and so fun to be around.  No wonder I have such a hard time leaving him every day. 

He's still rocking two teeth on the bottom - but I think a third is not far behind.  He's over turning circles and scooting on his tummy and in full on mobile-mode.  He scoot-crawls and follows me into the kitchen and down the hallway like it's no big deal.  The little daredevil also tries his hand at yoga (downward dog), and gets up on his tip toes when in the crawling position.  The little rascal is still unsure about baby food, but sure loves his lovey and his special "Hammy Cammy" song.

On Monday afternoon I left him playing with a flip-flop on the edge of the living room and kitchen.  I quickly went to use the bathroom and came back just in the nick of time to see he had moved into the kitchen and pulled the (full) doggy water bowl all over himself (and all over the floor).  His arms were stretched out far enough so the water missed his face, but this poor baby was soaked.  Soaked, I tell ya.  And he was NOT happy.  But I thought it was hysterical and was laughing quite hard as I scooped him up.  I know - mean mama.

Happy half birthday, my sweet, sweet, boy.

I am lucky to be your mama.

Camden - 5 Months

Another month here and gone.  With each day that goes by - this little boy steals another piece of my heart.

Camden is five months old today!

He didn't get a 5-month well baby check, so no fun stats to share on his growth.

I can't get over just how happy and content he is.  I'm very thankful for his disposition and the sweet little personality that is shining through more each day.

He started blowing raspberries with his mouth, is rolling over (both ways) like a little mad man, turns little circles on his belly during tummy time, and even tries to scoot around a little bit.  I think we'll have a little crawler on our hands before long.

He's starting to notice the food that we eat.  He'll track the food from our plates to our mouths and try to grab at whatever utensil is in our hands.  Silly, baby.

I'm starting to mentally prepare for next month.  Six months.  Half a year.

Cue the big mama tears.  And the ugly crying face.

Take Luck,

LP

Camden - 4 Months

I should probably just get used to accepting how fast time is flying by.

Camden is four months old today.

His four month stats are:

Weight: 12 lbs 11 oz (15th percentile)

Length: 23 1/2 inches (11th percentile)

Head Circumference: 16 inches (18th percentile)

  

(The first pictures I posted were crummy - Someone got four shots in his chubby legs today and was feeling less than stellar.  Today = much better results)

Camden is one happy baby.  He smiles and coos/babbles all the time.  Ryan is convinced that we're going to have a Chatty Cathy on our hands once he really starts to talk.

He still loves to be sung to - especially his favorite song, "Happy and You Know It,"  and loves to pull my hair.  He's very ticklish, and loves to look at himself in the mirror.

Camden can roll from his belly to his back, and lately - is showing signs of trying to roll from back to belly.  Right now he gets stuck on his side.  When on his back, he brings his hands together in the sweetest way and is really grabbing onto toys... And hair.  Did I mention he likes to pull my hair?

Some nights he sleeps really well, and other nights he sleeps not so well.  I'm hoping that we'll start to see more of the former and less of the latter.

Despite his up-and-down sleeping habits, we sure love our little man.

Take Luck,

Camden - 3 Months

Another month has come and completely flown by.

Hard to believe my little big guy is 3 months old.

Unfortunately, he doesn't get a 3-month well baby check up - so I have no exciting stats to share regarding his growth progress.  Because we were at the pediatrician's office twice last week, I do know that he weighs 10 lbs 5 oz.  A whopping two ounces more than he did at 2 months.  Which is weird because he sure looks like he weighs a lot more!

This tiny boy steals another piece of my heart every single day.

He smiles all the time, loves to be talked and sung to, squeals in delight, and giggles/laughs every once in awhile.  I can't wait for those giggles and laughs to become more frequent.

Being back at work is not easy.  At all.  But luckily I've been staying busy and keeping my brain occupied.  It's all I can do to obey all posted speed limit signs when I'm driving to Jessica's to pick him up.

I felt compelled to compare his monthly progression photos so far, and I am so happy I did.  This latest photo may even resemble me a tiny bit!!

Camden - 2 Months

Ugh, 2 months old!!

His 2 month stats are:

Weight: 10 lbs 3 oz (25th percentile)

Length: 22 1/2 inches (45th percentile)

Head Circumference: 15 inches (18th percentile)

Camden is still a calm and mellow baby.  He is melting my heart with his smiling and cooing.  I even stopped in the middle of the grocery aisle on Sunday morning to smile and talk back.  I just couldn't help myself.

The poor boy got five shots at his well baby visit today, so off I go to snuggle, snuggle, snuggle.

Take Luck,

Camden - 1 Month

I may have just experienced the fastest month of my life.  In fact, I'm almost positive.

Camden is one month old today.  Cue the tears.  My tears.

His one month stats are:

Weight: 8 lbs 3 oz (32nd percentile)

Length: 21 inches (61st percentile)

Head Circumference: 14 1/2 inches (41st percentile)

Camden likes:

- Sleeping

- Eating

- Being held

- Bath time

- Swinging

- Going for walks

Camden does not like:

- Being woken up

- Waiting to be fed

- Swaddling

We sure do love this little boy.  I'm sure I'll get over him being a month old... When he's two months old.  Ugh.

Take Luck,
