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.

Sleep: He has become a great sleeper!!! He goes to bed any where from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at night and wakes up between 5:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. His bed time always depends on if he got any naps at daycare or not. Also, if we are playing outside at night he stays up later.

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

Camden - 10 Months

Movement: Wow, can Camden cruise around the furniture. He has also started to let go for longer periods of time and has taken a few steps. He thinks he is pretty hot stuff when he does it. Our luck he will be running by the end of the month!!! Then we will be chasing two.

Eating: He still takes about 3 bottles a day, one in the morning after waking up, one around lunch and one right before bed. Camden still eats everything!! Last night, he had beef and rice and loved it! Hopefully this will make his sister try some new things, but if I have one good eater I can't complain right?!?

Teeth: We have 5 teeth for sure, but another is working on coming through. Unfortunately, Camden has found that his teeth can be used for biting. We are trying to break it, but it is a tough one. Kaylie gets bit the most since she is always taking toys away from him.

Sleep: Camden takes two naps a day usually. One in the morning around 9 to 10 a.m. and one around 1 or 2 p.m. They can be as long as 2 hours, but are usually only an hour. He will some times take a short nap before dinner, but that depends on how the day went. The last few nights he has been waking up, we are hoping that it won't be a common thing.

Voice: We are pretty sure that we have heard bye-bye when he waves and he says "ma ma". Grandpa Boe is convinced that he said Grandpa the other day, who knows! He is babbling all the time, so we are sure to hear more soon. He is starting to communicate more than just trying, he wanted more of something at dinner the other night and made some noise to get my attention and pointed to it.

Diaper/Clothes: Size 3 Diapers, 12 month mostly clothes
Nicknames: Bud, Butchy Boy, Buddy, Brother Camden, Cam, Bug a Boo

Kaylie - We have a 3 year old! (Yearly Interview Included)

Movement:  Kaylie is always on the move. Tonight, she asked me if she could run in my house. It was one of the funniest things she has ever said. She loves to dance and do gymnastics, she loves to jump and unfortunately she loves to jump on our furniture. I am very surprised that she hasn't hurt herself.
Eating: Well she isn't the greatest eater in the world. She will not eat anything that is green, one day she refused pasta because it was green. Kaylie hates vegetables and refuses to even try them. Our hope is that one day that when Camden eats the vegetables that she will. It hasn't worked yet!! Her favorite foods are Mac and Cheese and french fries.

Sleep: She is pretty great at sleeping, she has been sleeping in her big bed for awhile now and seems to really love it. It can get very hard to get her to nap in her bed though, she would rather play in her bed. We some times have a problem getting her to sleep at night because she wants to play, but we are working on that.

Voice: Kaylie has always been a chatter, she seems to have quite the vocabulary. She always is saying new things and the things that she comes up with are funny. It really cracks us up when she says things that we have said, like the other day she told me that she was frustrated! I have no idea what she was frustrated about.

Favorites: Some of Kaylie's favorite things right now, her brother Camden, her Barbies, her leap pad, legos.

Clothes: 4T Shirts & 3T Pants

Nicknames: Baby Girl, she isn't much into nicknames right now. She will always correct us and tell us she is Kaylie
