8months

My Camden is 8 months old and actually heading towards 9 months in a few days now. It has been a wonderful 8 months having him in our lives. 8 months brought TONS of new things!

*Sleeping through the night
*Crawling
*Pulling himself up
*Sleeping through the night
*Eating TONS of solids and some table food too
*Loving on a new blankey he needs...all the time.
*Sleeping through the night
*Saying "Mamama" and "dadada" and "etetetet" (Whatever that is!?!)
*Sleeping through the night

Monday I was able to enjoy the day off, doing taxes for 2008 and spent the afternoon with my family at the beach! Here are some pictures from that day trip!

8 months old today

Camden is 8 months today. I cried when I realized what the date was! He is growing up and I don't think I am totally ready for it. But, there is not much I can do about it I suppose.

This evening I laid Camden down for bed. He was playing around in his crib, beating Froggie and talking. Finally, after 35min of listening to him I looked in the baby monitor (we have a video monitor!) and at 9:39pm I went RUNNING in his room and because I had saw him in the monitor and he was STANDING in his crib! Are you kidding me!?! We *JUST* lowered the darn thing to the 2nd highest position because he sat himself up in there. And honestly I am scared that if we lower it to the lowest position he will be stuck in his crib because I cannot reach down to get him out of there...I am too short!

Incase you did not know he was born at 9:39am and he found standing in his crib at 9:39pm...

Breonna and baseball

Well today was Breonna's last game of the season in baseball. I took my new camera with and got some pretty good shots of her! She is an excellent player. She had a rough go at the beginning of the year but man, does she ever improve and fast! Breonna has a great arm and she can throw the ball FAR!

Below is s sequence of Breonna hitting the baseball! This camera is awesome!





Here is Breonna doing one of her famous slides...she was SAFE! Can you see her??

Getting ready to catch the ball. She has been doing great!!

Up to bat! Breonna hit a homerun as soon as I snapped the photo! Go Breonna!!

Just a good picture of Breonna doing what she is supposed to be doing out there!

Go Breonna! Go Breonna! Go Breonna!

Breonna caught this pop fly ball and got the girl out as well as getting another out!

Milestones..

Looks like Floyd and I will need to lower Camden's crib a notch. He has discovered how to sit up when laying down. So far he has done it twice and it has only been while IN his crib.

He is growing up. My soul rejoices and my heart breaks.

Best Buds

Camden has a little friend and his little friend is SUPER cute! His friends name is Colin Weston. He is two weeks older than Camden and just adorable. It is so nice when I can meet up with Colin's mom and we can compare "notes" on the boys. We met up on Sunday and after church headed to the Olive Garden for lunch. Here are some pics of the boys together...

Our Day!

Enjoying the sun was top on my list today! I did NOT want to see my kids sitting on the computer or watching TV all day and I certainly did not want to be stuck inside doing laundry and cleaning something I do daily! I could not decide when Floyd left for work what we were going to do, but I wanted to do something, anything really.

The kids and I decided to head to the Pt. Defiance Zoo...apparently so did several other people!! We drove around for about 30min TRYING to get a darn parking spot. We gave up and headed to Fort Nisqually. I had not been there in several years and Nathan was more than happy to go. Breonna was unsure of what it was so we drove past the zoo and made our way there and there was TONS of parking,we parked right smack in the front (guess it is because everyone and there mom was at the Zoo)! Got Camden in his stroller, got the diaper bag, paid and actually we had a good time in there. They have added more things to do. There were people (actors) there re-creating a lot of the things that happened back then. Nate and Bree got to play with the toys from "way back then", as Bree calls it and we got some cute pictures to share too! Camden had a great time too. He was carried through 90% of it due to us walking in and out of the little houses! Carrying 16lbs is not so fun!!











After we left Ft. Nisqually Nate and Bree wanted to see if we could find parking for the Zoo again so we drove past it and nope, a million other people were there. In fact people were parking on the sides of the roads making it near impossible for two cars going the opposite way to get past one another. I drive a Ford Expedition so my hurking beast was not easily maneuvered around there. We gave up and headed for the Go Karts. Nate and Bree loved it and rode them twice. Camden enjoyed watching them zip past us too!!
