*Walking?!?!?! Oh NOOOOO!!!


My baby is growing up WAYYY too fast. He'll be 32 weeks this Wednesday... he's right at 7 1/2 months old.
He is crawling all over everywhere and this weekend he starting pulling up to a standing position (he used his toy bin and Daddy at one point!). He was even taking little steps while holding on. His biggest big sister Mandi did this same thing this young. I wish he'd slow down and be a baby longer!! But it is also fun watching him learn something new every day!
We're also still working on more teeth. Camden has 3 on bottom. None of the top teeth have made an appearance yet!

Camden LOVES to eat!!!!
"Hey, Mom...those spoons you use are WAAAYYY too small!
These are more like it!!"

Our sweet little man just gets more and more fun and we love him more and more every day!! :)

*Lots to "Report"!!

Camden is now sitting himself up from a laying down position! He just started this on Friday... he's already a pro and it doesn't take him any time to just pop right up. He can also get back down on his tummy from a sitting position.

He's doing his own form of "crawling"... he kind of slithers like a lizard! It's pretty cute. He's rocking up on his hands and knees, and moves his knees, but can't quite get the "hand moving with the knee" thing yet.

Daddy gets a kick out of putting his pacifier in front of him about a foot away and watching him rock, shimmy his legs, scoot, and dive until he reaches it... he's getting faster at it every day.

He is soooo curious about everything around him. Here are some pics of him examining some of his toys on his exersaucer...

He's becoming so expressive, too. Whether he's making funny faces to be dramatic, or grinning from ear to ear, or "talking" to us to show off his deep little voice, or his favorite--blowing spit bubbles(!)... no matter what it is, he's constant entertainment for all of us right now!

We took Cam to Baylor one evening when both of the girls were with my niece Alli seeing Ice Age II at the theater (such a great big cousin!). Several students stopped to fuss over how cute he was in front of the Baylor sign... One even commented that this was a picture that should be on Baylor's homepage! Mom & Dad being Baylor grads (well, Dad in another 2 weeks), we were so proud!!


Mom only has to work at Baylor for 22 more years for Camden to get free tuition... HA! That's really hard to even think about. I'm still not exactly sure what I want to be when I grow up!! ;)

This same day, we had been to Bill (Joe's Dad) & Debbie's house for a 93rd birthday celebration for Joe's Nana (Bill's Mom). I got some shots of our family. Several people took pictures of each individual family and each of the siblings' families (Nana's kids' families). Hopefully I'll be able to get some of those pics, too.


Here are a couple of pictures of Mandi and 2 of her (& Joe's!) cousins... The first is Mandi & "Timmy." Tim is Joe's 1st cousin... Tim's Dad, "Uncle Bubba" or Rusty, is Bill's brother. Tim is 14 (about 8 months older than Mandi). The second is Mandi & Megan. Megan's Dad, Robert, is Joe's 1st cousin (Robert's Mom, Teresa, is Bill's sister). Megan is 2 years older than Mandi, so she'll be 16 this summer exactly 1 month after Mandi turns 14. Got all that?!?!

Well, that's gotta be enough for now! I'll try to keep up and not get so far behind before the next post!! :)
