Busy week!

Camden and I got to spend a week in California with my parents.  We had a good time in the warm weather, and Camden loved being the center of attention!  He also cut his first tooth--a bottom front tooth.  He was enchanted by the dog, the trampoline, and my family.  It was so good to spend some time with my family!  And, it was soooo good to see Brian again!   I didn't take many pictures, but here are a couple:

This is Camden at his first football game, wearing a baseball hat. 

My sister Rachel and Camden.  She was very good at entertaining him (as long as she didn't have to touch his diapers!)

This was taken before our trip up in the mountains.  Camden was especially interested in the river.

Here's a few updates about this week:

Our little guy is getting so big!

I've had a request for a picture of little one sucking on his toes. So, here it is:

In church on Sunday, Camden caused quite the commotion. At the beginning, he was unusually happy. He stared at the older ladies until he got their full attention, and then smiled, cooed, and practically flirted with them. The poor teacher had no chance!

Stay in tune for a great story about Brian's negotiations assignment and for Halloween pictures.

5 months!

Today is our little guy's 5-month birthday! He giggles just about everyday now, as long as mom acts goofy and makes funny faces. :)

Top 5 favorite things:
1. Having everyone's attention
2. Being outside
3. Eating
4. Newspaper
5. Mirrors

5 recent accomplishments:
1. Grabbing lips, hair, noses, neck skin, and cheeks
2. Sucking on his toes
3. Sucking his thumb
4. (This one is more complicatd to explain.) When he is leaning back, like in his high chair seat, he pushes his elbows against the back of the chair so he leans forward over his toes. Pretty impressive for a little guy, but he gets himself into precarious positions.
5. Eating rice cereal.

Happy Birth(month)!

He loves the exersaucer!

Playing

He scooted sideways while he was napping and woke up quite concerned.
