Rolling Along

Loves: Splashing in the bath! Camden is a total water baby. She has always loved to chill in the bath, but now she is starting to wiggle, chat, and splash! Each time she has a bath I also get one, free of charge, sitting next to the tub. So lucky.

Trying out Camden's booster seat. The tray is an ideal place for G.I. Joe trucks. Obviously.

Playing Pooh Sticks at the Park

She used a binky for almost a minute and a half! It was a one time anomaly. She normally just briefly chews on the wrong end and then chucks the pacifier across the room.

Camden has always been super social, responding to people's faces and always wanting to interact. Not only is she into adults, she is also a big fan of people her age. She and her good buddy Finn are the absolute cutest. I didn't get a picture that really captured their interactions well here (at one point they were holding hands!!), but I promise they love to play with each other. Don't be fooled, Camden isn't trying to get away, she just needed to wiggle a little before returning to hanging out with Finn and that's when I happened to snap the picture.

Mommy's face? Delicious!

Playing G.I. Joe is exhausting. You need pace yourself and rest regularly.

Hates: Bottles. There was a time a few months back when we were really good about giving Camden a bottle every couple of days, but we fell out of practice and now she won't touch them. At least solid food is around the corner and soon other people will be able to feed her without it being a monumental battle to get just one swallow.

New Bedtime Ritual: Clean up all the toys, then run around the living room. It's more fun if Dad participates!

Getting a Big Boy bed, sheet set, and pillow

How he actually sleeps--with the blanket and sheets kicked to the bottom of the bed and his hippo and pillow on the floor...

New Tricks: Camden is learning how to roll. Sometimes she rolls to her stomach for a nap and is only frustrated once she wakes up and cannot roll over to her back. At other times, though, she is able to roll over to her back on a firmer surface than her mattress. I'm hoping that she'll start to string those rolls together as a way to get around soon. Mobile babies! Exciting!
