Only Daddy

Only Daddy can hold you just right in this position. The both of you found this position long ago when you were newborn and he would try to sooth you by holding and walking you around. And to this day, when he puts you in his arm like this you go limp and become completely relaxed and fall asleep. This is your special thing. And I like that the two of you have a special thing.

Have You Ever?

So tell me...


have you ever....

seen a baby...

take a bath....

in a giant cup before?

This was a gift that we received called a European Spa Baby. It is essentially a giant clear cup. And we were a little unsure of how Camden would react to being set in such a thing. But I got curious one day and had to give it a try. So I filled it with warm water up to the "Fill" line, and stuck him in it. And I would have to say-he kinda liked it! Once I set him in it, the water went up to his chest, keeping him nice and warm. I think he is now at the age where he wants to move around more in the bath, but it will be fun to use-once in a while. And his favorite part? Not when Mommy was taking pictures of him, but when I stood him up and he could kick and make the water splash! He loved figuring that one out.

ELEPHANTS!!!!

You LOVE to watch your elephant mobile. Each morning I set you in your crib to watch them twirl around and sing Rock-a-bye Baby to you. You get so very excited when you hear me wind up the music box that you start kicking your legs, flapping your arms, and panting like a puppy! Then, once they start twirling we get some pretty crazy expressions from you-some of which look a little more like you are frightened than excited. But you are excited for sure-because then come the squeals! I just love that you get so excited for your elephants each day and I hope that you continue to for a long time in the future!

More ELEPHANTS!!!

That Other Baby

Who's one of your newest buddies? That other baby. You know, the one in the mirror! You just love to talk to him, and you get pretty excited about it. You start kicking and flapping your arms. You squeal and smile at him. And the coolest thing-he just happens to be in EVERY mirror around the house!

The Back of Your Sweet Head

Is it silly to talk about how cute I think the back of your head is? Maybe, but I don't care because it is something I love about you. It's a funny thing, because even though I spend all day with you, I rarely see the back of your head-you are always facing me. So when I see it, I just love it! I guess as you get older and are on your belly more, I will get used to seeing it and it wont seem so rare. But for now it's an exciting thing to see!

The New Blue Binky

What a sad day it was last Friday. We went shopping for a new binky. Not because we lost the original, but just because it was time to retire it. It is a bit of a sentimental issue for Mommy and Daddy. We have seen you with the original one since your birth-the nurses gave it to you in the nursery. So, to think of you with a different binky is kind of hard. But this one looks pretty cute on you, so I think it will be ok, and I am sure Mommy and Daddy will become attached to this one also!
