6 months and 12 years

A lot has been going on during this April 2009.

Camden you are 6 months old now and doing so many new things. You are able to roll over from your tummy to back. I suspect the reason you roll so well from tummy to back is because you hate being on your tummy for longer than a quarter of a millasecond so you just resort to rolling over onto your back. Its just from shear frustration! You have also discovered rolling from back to tummy but, you would not be caught dead doing this unless a dog was near by or something other than one of your many toys was there to grab (i.e a remote, a movie case, a shoe, a dog bone, etc.)

Camden you amaze us everyday. You have been in our lives for 6 months now. It seems like you were never not apart of our lives. You just "fit" like everyone else in our lives do. My dear sweet baby you have turned into a wriggling, bouncing, moving, diving, grabbing little person. You are all smiles and coos these days. My life is so complete with you in it. I can't imagine not having you here. You are starting to sit up on your own, but you get so exited once you are sitting on your own you fall over or face first onto the carpet! You are able to reach the toys on the hanging bar on your exersaucer and even PULL them to get them to make noise and vibrate! You know how to jump in the jumperoo some and wiggle enough to get your exersaucer to rock. The funniest thing ever is the fake "cough" you do, you started that this morning and have done it non-stop all day, smiling harder when someone does it back to you and then mimicing them. As the months have gone by you have learned to lunge for anything you want or think you should have. We have to keep close hands on you at all times or I fear you may end up on the floor. Carrying you around has become hard as when we walk anywhere holding you squirm to reach for something further away! Camden you have also developed what every child at your age develops and that is a love for your mommy and daddy only. You don't want anyone else you might not know to hold you, touch you or even look at you unless you are being held by mom or dad. And if that person looks like or does remove you from our arms you cry with your arms out reaching for one of us to "save" you....and secretly I love it :) It won't last long but for now I will cherish this "milestone".

Many days I find myself thinking back to the day we first saw you and all the emotions I had. I can't even begin to tell you how special you are to us. I do wonder how your first mom and dad are, how your brother is doing and wanting to make sure they are doing just as well as you are doing. I have so much more I want to say to them. How many times over can you thank someone for allowing you such a special gift? We are blessed so many times over to have you in our lives. I don't think there is much more we could say. I hope I have said it enough to them. I don't think I have though. I hope that by seeing your pictures and reading this blog they know how loved and important they are to us and will be to you as your grow and learn about them. Your daddy and I feel they are another extention to our already happy family. So to you K, J and Z you are loved by us all and you all mean the world to us.

Breonna you are 12 now. You are growing up and becoming a person far more wonderful than I could of ever imagined. You are very sure of yourself, you have an amazing personality and a love your baby brother that amazes me. Breonna you are strong willed and minded. You have a strength all your own. Watching YOU grown up has been such a blessing. I remember when you were a baby and I can't even believe you have gotten this big in such a short time. Time really does go by far too fast when you have kids. One minute I was singing and rocking to you and the next I am shopping for bras and make up with you and grounding you from your cell phone! Breonna you are a strong athlete. Amazingly strong in baseball and basketball. I hope we are raising you to be a great woman! I guess I won't really know until you are all grown and on your own.

For your birthday this year we decided to forgo the birthday with friends for both you and Nathan and do family parties only and take you both to the Great Wolf Lodge for a night of playing in a water park. You both seemed okay with that. We were happy you were because your dad and I needed to get you both away and just have some family time. This would be the best place to do it we thought.

I love you Breonna! Happy 12th Birthday too... :)

A few fun sites to check out!

Here are a few fun sites to click on and check out when you are bored and just surfing the web.

www.myprettypinkbox.com

(this really is a cute idea. I have not ordered from them yet, but a friend of mine said she loved all the stuff she got!)

www.woot.com

(A website where they sell just one product each day. Its kinda fun to just click on the link to see what they are selling. Some days its really odd stuff, like a beer making kit and other days it could be something awesome, like a really cool garlic press...haha!)

www.heyitsfree.com

(Kinda cool. Another sample site! You can "get it free" or skip. Lots of different catagories too!)
