Happy 1st Birthday Camden!!!
How is it possible that our little boy is 1!! It has been an interesting and exciting year for us. Shortly, after Camden was born Zach decided to go to an new company to try video production on his own. That worked for a little while until right after Christmas, he was laid off. So on top of having a 2nd child, Daddy has gone out on his own with his business. Well we have been surviving quite well so hopefully that will continue. We have loved to watch as Camden has evolved into his own person. I know they say not to compare your children, but it is so much fun to see the similarities and the difference between the two!! You can tell that he really adores Kaylie, but some days they fight none other! I can't wait to watch what the years bring with these two. Now, on to the Birthday Boy!!
Movement: Well a day before his 1st birthday, Camden decided that he was going to take off. He thinks he is pretty big stuff and it is so much fun to watch him walk to you. I know I was wishing for this day, but next month I will probably wish I hadn't because he will be running away from me. He also loves to dance, it is one of his favorite things and he likes to bounce which he starts to do when Kaylie is jumping off of everything.
Eating: We took him off formula around the middle of the month, he really wasn't taking it so we figured it was time to go table food only. He is still an outstanding eater and we hope that continues. I would have to say currently his favorite food is fruit, blueberries and watermelon are the top ones right now!
Teeth: I counted the other day and we have 10 teeth now, a couple are just coming in. Yay, biting continues!!! We are still working on that one! Sounds like there are a few of them at daycare that keep biting one another.
Sleep: Camden is more like his mommy and loves his sleep. He usually takes two naps for me, but at daycare they only get him one. That can mean for a little bit of a crank at night so he usually goes to bed around 6 or 6:30 p.m. and wakes up between 5:30 or 6 a.m. Few nights were he hasn't slept the greatest, but more on that in a bit.
Voice: He is always blabbing away and of course he is convinced whatever he is saying makes sense. We are starting to hear more and more words, plus he is starting to use some of the sign language from daycare. I remember with Kaylie that really helped her learn her words. We can't wait to hear more and more words from him, that is if his sister lets him talk!
Diaper/Clothes: Size 3 Diapers, 12 month mostly clothes
Nicknames: Bud, Butchy Boy, Buddy, Brother Camden, Cam, Bug a Boo
Camden is still coming in Tall and Skinny! He is going to caught up to his sister in weight very soon though. We also have had some problems with Ear Infections this spring, so we will have to take him to a specialist soon. Mommy and Daddy are not looking forward to that one, but we have been told the surgery isn't too bad!!

Camden...11 Months
Movement: Camden is still moving around a lot, but not walking yet. He always leans forward so I think that is why we aren't walking yet. He has started to use his walker a little more and he thinks he is hot stuff. Plus he loves to show off by standing alone; he gets this little smile because he is so proud of himself. We will see if he is walking by next month or not.Eating: Goodness this kid can eat!!! I swear he eats all the time. He usually takes 3 to 4 bottles of formula still and then also eats breakfast, lunch and dinner with some snacks in the middle. We started whole milk with him, but then he got sick for a week with the flu and a double ear infection so he wasn't eating much. We have not found too much that he doesn't like; he eats fruits, veggies, and meats. Seems to love them all. Hopefully this continues, because he is helping make Kaylie try some new foods too.
Teeth: I believe I counted 9 teeth this morning. He has three top & bottom in the front and 3 of his 1st year molars are coming in. He is still biting, but this month he has slowed up on it. Might be because the teeth have finally came through.
Voice: Camden is starting to make noises that sound like words. We have heard Hi, Bye, Mama, Dada, and up. He is starting to tell us more what he wants with the way he acts and points to things. Can't wait to hear more words from him.
Favorites: Camden's favorite things right now are being outside, he can be screaming but as soon as you go outside he is happy. His big sister is one of his favorites currently, you can tell he adores her and thinks she is pretty funny!!! Taking selfies with my phone!! His newest thing is that he loves to look at the picture that I am trying to take and of course he loves to help me take it!
Diaper/Clothes: 12 Month clothes (hopefully it warms up since all our 12 months are shorts/tshirts) and 3 diapers
Nicknames: Brother Camden, Bug, Buddy, Bud
