Lil' Fireman

Camden's costume arrived in the nick of time (on Thursday) and he was so excited to try it on! He is really into fire trucks right now, so we decided he'd make a great fireman! We are headed to a little Halloween party tonight so more pics will be coming soon, but here's a little preview of him testing it out.

He just finished putting his hat on...now it's complete!

So excited to be a fireman!

Showing his muscles.

Peek-a-boo!

Daddy is wearing his hat and Camden thinks it's pretty funny!

Putting out a fire! Maybe he can use his drool instead of water. :) Two molars are busting through!

Happy Halloween!

Prego-week 24

I hit the 24 week mark on October 8th. I'm so thankful for another healthy baby and (somewhat) easy pregnancy. It's a bit different this time around, but I'm still loving it! Here are a couple of belly pics along with my sweet boy in his guitar PJs!

"Camden, can you laugh?" Yes he can!

Messy, messy!

So messy, yet so cute!

God Bless America

I'm only about 4 months behind...so, here you go, photos from 4th of July. The Henderson fam were fabulous hosts--tasty food and great company. It was a first for us California folk...drizzle and cloudiness on America's birthday! A Seattle greeting for us!

Camden petting a dog! This is no small feat considering he used to be terrified of these furry fellers. Auntie Kel is being very patient and encouraging.

Love this pic! It just screams, "I'm proud to be an American!" I mean c'mon...sporting the red, white, and blue while eating watermelon! It doesn't get any better.

Stats

Today Camden had his first doc appointment since we moved to WA (we were thankful for 4.5 months of staying away from the pediatrician after his stint of ear infections). He did great! The nurse and doc complimented our little guy's verbal skills and what a wonderful patient he was--doc said, "You'll just let me do anything to you!" as Cam sat there extremely still while she listened to his heart, checked inside his mouth, and looked in his ears. He was given one shot (first time getting one in the arm) and he didn't even flinch. We were told that he can stop drinking whole milk and go to "whatever kind works best for our family." The doc also recommended setting up his first dentist appointment. Overall, he is healthy and happy!

Height: 35 1/4 inches (just above the 75th percentile)
Weight: 30.6 pounds (around the 75th percentile. This is a big jump--he's been in the 25th percentile for most of his life)

Recent Faves

Some of my favorite things Camden has done/said in the last week or so...

• When someone sneezes, he says, "Bless Dada/Mama/Cambo."
• He waves to his shadow and says, "Hiiii," or "Hey there!"
• Grabs his guitar (bday gift from Grammy and Gramps) and says, "How about..." that means Mommy or Daddy should be ready to sing a song and come up with a topic for the little ditty. We have been singing about birds, dogs, trees, yogurt, and tacos (to name a few)
• Looking for his shoes..."Shooooes, where are you?"
• Randomly puts his finger up to his mouth saying, "Shhhh, quiet" while tiptoeing around.
• Says, "Dada play ball" shortly after Jonathan walks in the door.
• Calls out the colors of the road signs we pass.
• His stuffed giraffe now has a red mustache because Camden was sharing his strawberries.
• He's gotten a few compliments on his Pumas lately and when he does he points to them and says, "Mama." I'm glad he knows who buys him the good stuff! :)

Love this kid!

(A lot of) Maui Pics

We were so fortunate to be able to go to Maui for a week (June 25-July 2) with Jonathan's mom, step-dad, bro, sis-in-law, nephew, step-sis, and niece. It was a fabulous trip! Camden loved his first experience on the islands!

The only empty seat on the way there was in our row...so lucky! Camden was a champ on the flight.

Yay! So excited (and sweaty)! We made it!
