Eating

Well Floyd and I decided to give Camden some baby oatmeal tonight. We knew the time was coming. As much as I wanted to wait until he was 6 months or older it was just time for him to enjoy this little bit of goodness. The other night I took him and couple daycare kids to McDonalds for dinner and dessert. The older kids and I got some icecream and I gave him a little taste. He loved it. I figured one taste was enough! Nope, not for Camden! He wanted more and FREAKED out because he couldnt get the spoon. So I gave him another little taste and he took it, and smild at me reaching for the spoon. I know oatmeal is not as good as icecream, but he sure liked it. Only a few funny faces and lots of smiles....then he wanted to do it by himself! After he was done with the two whole tablespoons of oatmeal he got washed up and he did NOT like that at all. But big sister Breonna was there to resuce him and life was good again!

"The first bite of Oatmeal "

"It was kinda a big bite, but he didnt seem to mind!"






"Hmmm what is this stuff?!"

"I can do this job myself, DAD!"

"Yeah, this isn't so bad"

"What is all the funny faces for mom?!"

"HEY! Give me that back!"


"This getting cleaned up was NOT supposed to be part of the deal!"

"WAHHHHH...save me BREONNA!"

"Finished, full, safe and cleaned up."

Kisses and hugs

Camden loves giving his mommy kisses and hugs....while he is cute and I love all his hugs and kisses, they are slimy and gross! He grabs hold of my face, says "ahhhh!" opens his mouth and plants his open mouth on my face or lips and either licks me or sucks on my face....crazy kid! I am loving every minute of his slimy, gross, open mouthed, drooly, kisses!

What a funny kid!

Camden has some FUNNY facial expressions! I always wonder what he is really thinking once we snap the photo and see it.

What do you think he is thinking?

Our weekend

Well we have an eventful weekend here at the Powell household. Friday evening started off with a bang. Floyd and I got the kids pictures done at Picture People in the Tacoma Mall for Camden's first St. Patrick's Day, actually it was just ANY excuse to get pics of my three cute kiddos! Because I hate scanning things I will leave the link to the proofs on here and you can check them out for yourself. We will go back in a month for Camden's 6 months pictures. We decided to do 3days, 1 month, 3 months, 6months, 9months and 12months pictures and then every 6 months after that professionally. So anyways, here is the link : http://smilestore.picturepeople.com/pn/tpp/claim?em=npowell1980@comcast.net&acc=bd7d18b68c my email address is NPowell1980@comcast.net, the access code is : bd7d18b68c and the password is : npowell80

Okay after pictures on Friday I noticed Camden coughing ALOT and it was hard and just sound awful. Floyd and I decided to just stop in at the Urgent Care. The Doctor said it was croup (click to read about it). They gave him an oral steroid and sent us home at 11pm at night. Camden slept great, ate great, happy, etc. Then at 6:45am we woke up to THIS. For those of you who don't me, fire is my biggest fear ever. I totally freaked out when I saw this. I woke up to explosions, they were so loud. The sky was literally orange with fire and then black and grey with smoke. I was hysterical. I cannot even believe it happened. It was so scary. My best friend Michelle came down and stayed with us. Thankfully everyone in those homes were safe and okay. There homes on the otherhand are gone. Fires are so scary and they just rob you of everything. Saturday night I woke up several times with nightmares of it. I honestly am just so scared of fires.

Sunday - Went to a babyshower for a friend. So fun! I love watching people open gifts. Then I got hom and my poor baby was hacking up a lung, he is NOT better and sounds worse. Floyd an I decided we should take him in, so I did. After 3.5hours at the Urgent Care and 2 x-rays later Camden her pneumonia! Lucky me! Poor baby! Oh..and croup! Double yeah! More meds, no more steroids! Tomorrow I work!

Nathan and Breonna are doing great (and they are HEALTHY!). Nathan is doing good in school, struggling in a few classes but mostly is lack of wanting to do the work. He lost his cell phone until he got his grades up..amazing how that works! He had his grades up in two days! Go Nate! I told him, next time they slip the phone is mine for month along with all tv and computer. He promised he would work harder to keep them up! Breonna is is doing great too. We have had her working with a tutor twice and week and she is improving SO much with the help of the tutor. Breonna is feeling more positive about the work she is doing too, which is what we wanted. She still has a long road ahead of her but she is working hard! Breonna is also reading the Twilight series and she is REALLY into it. I am so glad, she has struggled with enjoying reading but when that girl finds something she likes she will read like no ones business!

Feet part 2

Camden and his feet! He started this new trick on March 6th at about 7:45am. Sorry to so long to get pictures put up! It has been a CRAZY couple of weeks in the Powell household!

Feet

Camden has found his feet! He loves them! He loves to chew on them, drool on them, talk to them, pull them over his head...he just loves his feet!

I will post pictures when he isnt so grumpy! :)


Tomorrow my baby will be 5 months old. I cannot believe it!
