Camden - 7 Months

Movement: Wow, can Camden move this month! He has learned how to army crawl and man can he move. Kaylie has learned that this isn't as great for her, he is getting into her stuff much more. She hasn't quite figured out that we need to move our stuff higher if we do not want brother to get into them. Camden also has figured out that now that he can move that there is more to get into aka dog food! We have to watch him like a hawk because he likes to put Sadie's food in his mouth.

Eating: Formula is not for this kid anymore. He will eat it if he has too, but he has really found that table food is great. Since Camden has a few teeth, we have started to give him a few different foods like buns/bread, crackers and applesauce. He would rather not eat baby food if at all possible, but when he does he eats like a champ! He is definitely an eater.

Teeth: We know have 4 teeth, both top and bottom front teeth. I think we are cutting some more because we are drooling and chewing a lot. His little teeth and very sharp and he loves to bite things. So watch out!

Sleep: Still not the greatest sleeper. We will get two nights that he sleeps all night and then go back to waking up. Camden usually sleeps better if we give him a cat nap right around dinner time, but it doesn't always work.

Voice: Camden can be a chatty one, but also can be very quite. He really likes to jabber on and on, but some times he just sits and takes everything in.

Favorites: His mama, I have a mama's boy that is for sure, but secretly I love it! He is my little buddy. Some times it can make the day difficult because he doesn't want to play or go to someone else and I can't get anything done. He also is really loving his Scout Dog, we turn it on every night when he goes to bed and it sings to him.

Diaper/Clothes: 9 months and 3 diapers
Nicknames: Bud, Buddy, Butchy Boy
