11 Months

 

This little guy is growing TOO fast. Apparently, all my children are sipping on Miracle Grow while I'm not watching. Sigh. 

{5 teeth, wanting to walk really bad, was in his first Christmas program as a sheep, has learned to climb up half of the stairs-doesn't know how to get back down and hollers until he's rescued, loves music and the piano}

Yearly Tree Picture

This year we added another one to the picture.

 

The moment you give them permission to play with the tree they suddenly are no longer interested.  Weston was antsy trying to stand still. Camden didn't care a hoot about the tree or presents so we piled some Cheerios at his feet. He's stocky, but his pj's are a bigger size and they pooched out making him seem a little heavier. Arilynn is wearing the same nightgown she had on last year. You can see how many inches she's grown. 

10 Months

• Mr Smiley
• Walks behind and beside things
• Speed crawls
• More interested in table food and feeding himself than his bottles and baby food
• Likes music and tries to sing
• Wants to be where all the action is
• Working on cutting his 4th tooth
• Is a "sympathy crier"

Fall Fun

We have a big tree in our backyard that produces enough leaves for the entire neighborhood. However, it's usually the last to let loose and the kiddos waited "patiently" all season for leaf jumping. And then I find a trail of leaves all over the house. :) Wes and I decided to have a little fun, too. We're still kids at heart.

Camden's Dedication

8 & 9 Months

Um, where are these months quickly flying by to? Goodness, I can't believe October is halfway over. 

Here are Camden's monthly pictures to date:

 8 Months

9 Months

Weight: 19.1 lbs

Height: 28"

Length = between percentile 25 and 50
Weight = between percentile 10 and 25

Crawling very quickly and is attempting to climb the stairs. OY! He pulls himself up and only needs one hand to support himself. Wes said he's seen him walk his crib along the rail.

 Loves Cheerios. 

Is always looking for Sissy and Bubby.  

Still doesn't have much hair.

Has started crawling up to me and yanking on my clothes to get me to pick him up.

Wants to be in the middle of all the action. 

 

Best Buddies

I think I've mentioned on here several times about how Weston and Arilynn are big buddies. They play really well together and naturally throw in some arguing, as well.  For the most part, they get along great. Arilynn is a natural born leader, aka bossy, and Weston is for the most part very laid back. Although now that he's getting older he's sticking to his guns a little more than he used to. HA!

They don't regularly take naps, but the other day I walked in and the had both fallen asleep in Arilynn's bed. So sweet.

 

Sunday Shot

3 Years

Weight: 36.8 lbs

Height: 40"

Loves tractors, tools, motors, playing with Arilynn, exploring outside, cheese and hotdogs! He is my helper in the kitchen and comes running when he hears the mixer. Any other time he is Daddy's buddy-big time! He has a laid back personality until he's had enough, but it takes a while to get him there. He has a more advanced vocabulary than Arilynn did at this age, but he hears her jabbering all the time. ;)

Sunday Morning

1st Grade

We just completed our first week of first grade. Unreal! My baby girl is growing up toooo fast. 

Here are some snaps of the first day:

Selfies With Mom

I think the title clearly explains the post. Haha!

I am soooo blessed!!!

6 Months

Weight: 15 lbs 14 oz

Length: 27 1/2

 Length = in percentile 75
Weight = between percentile 5 and 10

Doc said he was going down on the charts and we needed to increase his food. The dude eats like a horse!!! Camden is always a happy baby unless he's hungry. Ain't nobody gonna mess with him not eating on time. LOL! 

He is such a good baby and super smiley (unless, of course, I get out my camera). He loves, emphasis on loves, his blanket that Aunt Rae-Rae made him. If he's tired and ready for bed, he might get a little fussy until I lay the blanket on him. He snuggles down and is soon asleep. He pokes his toes through it.

4th Snaps

Here are some snapshots of our fun day! 

The kiddos expressions...haha!

We love Aunt Debbie!

Twins...or so everyone still thinks.
