Camden - 9 Months

Movement: Camden is still moving like crazy. He is pretty much only crawling now and starting to go from furniture to furniture. From time to time he lets go, but still doesn't have the balance to stand up alone yet. We will see if he decides to walk a little this month or not.

Eating: Camden is an eating machine, but only with table food & baby food. He has really slowed down on formula. He only takes a bottle in the morning, around lunch and at night now. The doctor told me that it is fine since some baby wean themselves off of formula. You learn something new every day!! We haven't really found anything he isn't a fan of with table food yet. I hope that it stays that way, he eats veggies, unlike Kaylie!

Teeth: Still only four teeth, but he seems to bite a lot of things so who knows if he is getting more or not.

Sleep: This month we starting sleeping through the night again!!! Yippy. Makes Mommy and Daddy very happy! He still takes quite a few naps during the day, but I figure if he is tired than I would rather him get sleep and be happy.

Voice: Camden does babble, but he is much quieter than his sister. Must be that he can't get in a word most the time with her around. He is making the da da and ma ma sounds, but doesn't quite know what he is saying.

Favorites: His Grandpa Boe, man are they buddies right now. Grandpa has been getting quite a bit of quality time with Camden, since we started our work out program 10 weeks ago. We go to work out at 5 a.m. and usually Camden gets up shortly after we leave and hangs out with Grandpa.

Diaper/Clothes: 9 month or 12 month clothes and 3 diapers

Nicknames: Bud, Butchy Boy, Buddy, Brother Camden, Cam

Camden - 8 Months

Movement: Camden now knows how to crawl. He began last month around the end. He still sometimes does the army crawl because it is still faster. Camden also is always trying to stand up without help; which he does not have the balance for yet. He seems to think that he can also pick things up while trying to stand.
Eating: He is still having 6 oz bottles every 3 to 4 hours. He really doesn't take them very well since he would rather have real food. We have also learned that you can't eat anything in the house without him finding you and wanting some. He has tried lots of new foods lately such as bananas, noodles, bread, and french toast sticks. Camden is quite the eater!
Teeth: Still only 4, but still working on some.
Sleep: We are sleeping through the night, at least for now. I refuse to get my hopes up yet, since we thought we had the sleeping thing done a few months ago.
Voice: Camden has really found his voice lately. He loves to talk very loudly and he is starting to sound like he is saying words more. Can't wait to see what the next few months do for his voice/speech!
Favorites: His puppy is one of his favorites right now. He loves her and Sadie seems to like him too. Bathtime is a new favorite now that he is in the bed tub. So far he doesn't seem to fear the water at all.
Diaper/Clothes: 9 months clothes, but they are starting to get short in the arms and legs and 3 diapers

Nicknames: Butchy Boy, Bud, Buddy, Brother Camden, Cam

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.
