Such a big boy

Mommy put you in your exosaucer for a few minutes and you loved it!  But your head still gets really heavy for your little neck, so we will keep practicing. 

Remembering Nana

Todd and Camden were out playing in the backyard the other night. Camden knelt down by this sign and asked Todd what it said. Todd read it to him and explained to him that we got it when Nana Barb went to heaven. I love that Todd thought to take a picture for me. I miss Barb and often say to Todd, boy do I wish your mom was here.

He was explaining to me how he scored a goal!

Looks like Camden wanted between the girls! 

Camden is playing Upward soccer through First Baptist Church of Festus/Crystal City this spring. He LOVES it! He and Todd have been practicing in the backyard. Today was his first game and boy, was it cold! But it didn't seem to phase him at all. In fact, when the game was over, he asked Coach COdy when the next game started. I guess he thought we were going to play all day! He got an offensive star for scoring the first goal of the season for the Timberwolves!

5 year checkup

Little Man had his five year old checkup yesterday with Dr. Kebler. Dr. Kebler saw Camden at 2 weeks old when we finally got to come home from Minnesota. So, it was kinda special that we saw him again for this appointment. Camden was so brave! Grandma and I could tell he was nervous by the way he talked non-stop and buzzed around the room. He passed all his screening with flying colors. He is in the 10-25th percentile for weight and 25th for height. Daddy says we need to get some meat on his bones! He asked the nurse to give his shot in his arm so he didn't have to lay down. He barely whimpered when she gave it. We celebrated afterward at Toys R Us and Grandma bought our big boy the Rescuebot Bumblebee and a Tenkai Knight. Then, we met Papa at Steak 'n Shake for lunch. What a fun day!

A Decade of Wedded Bliss

Today, we celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss! Here is my Facebook post and Todd's Twitter post from today:

I can honestly say I fall more in love with Todd each year we are married. It just keeps getting better and better. Our love is deeper and stronger than I could have ever imagined possible. Each event we go through together, whether it is good or bad, just brings us closer. I love sharing life with him! 

Camden's First Blues Game

Daddy took Camden to his first Blues hockey game last night. They got free tickets from Daddy's old friend. Daddy made signs for both he and Camden and Camden got a hockey stick and a puck. I jokingly put on Facebook that the game hadn't even started and Camden already had a stick, a puck AND a bruise. One of the players dropped a puck over the glass to another family and it accidentally hit Camden on the head.

Boys will be boys...

Dad and Todd were trimming the trees and bushes at Grandma and Grandpa Bailey's house and these two were supposed to be helping. As you can see, they were having fun instead. I went out to check the progress and found big cousin pulling little cousin in the antique yard wagon. Camden sure loves his cousin Nick!

Double the Fun

I told Todd I was going to get Jaden's bath ready. As I was leaving the room, I told Camden, "It's bath night for you too buddy. While I was running Jaden's water, Camden  came in the bathroom and asked if he could "squeeze" in and take a bath with Jaden. He pointed to the back of the tub and said, "See, I can fit right there." Ha! He is so funny sometimes.

3 Months Old

Jaden at 3 months old:

You weighed 13.8 lbs when the nurses weighed you for your RSV shot. We don't go back to the doctor until 4 months, so we aren't sure how long you are. But Mommy knows you have grown because none of the newborn sleepers fit anymore. So, even though some are a little big-you are wearing 3-6 month clothes.
You are eating 5 ounces every 4 hours. YOu have gone 7 hours at night, but have not slept through the night yet. Mommy and Daddy take turns on your nighttime feedings.
You do not scream during your entire bath. You actually seem to enjoy it. Now, you only cry when we take you out because you feel cold and insecure.
You are smiling finally! You are happiest first thing in the morning. But Caren says you smile all day long for her.
You are on somewhat of a schedule during the day. You usually nap for 2 hours in the morning and then 2 hours in the afternoon. We haven't been able to get on a evening schedule just yet. You are still pretty fussy in the evenings and want to be held.
You are starting to lose your hair and Mommy hopes it grows back in as dark as it was. You have also started drooling.
