Happy Half Birthday Camden

Baby girl is half way to one year - WOW!!!! It doesn't seem that long ago that we were sitting in the hospital waiting on our pride and joy to finally join us. So since she hit the big .5, it was time to celebrate! We made some half cookies and took them to our Bible study. Bad picture, but yummy cookies!

So many changes are happening and Camden is growing like a weed. She successfully rolled over yesterday several times from her back to her front. She is eating rice cereal faster than you can put it in her mouth. She loves sitting up to play. And we've had to raise her jumper because she is getting so "tall."

She can actually sit next to her bear this month without having to be propped up. She's also almost as big as it now, too. The little bear seems like a miniature in her lap.

We can't wait to see what the next 6 months holds. We love you, Camden Raye.

Bath time

Camden likes to get a bath. We still only give her one every couple of days, but she loves the water (and the attention from both mommy and daddy).

And look at her compared to her first bath in this tub when she was just about a month old. So tiny and so scared!

We may have to move up to the sink or even the tub in the near future. She's getting to be such a big girl now.

Playing Cards with Grandma

Grandma and Grandpa French came over on Saturday night to play Euchre. Camden loved sitting on Grandma's lap and helping her decide which card to play.

Camden was really happy with this hand and couldn't believe their luck!

But then she thought she caught her Mommy trying to cheat and peek at her and Grandma's hand. She gave me a look that told me to think again!

But in the end, of course, all she really wanted to do was put the cards in her mouth!

Toy Blocks

Camden got some toy blocks for Christmas and really enjoys playing with them.


She thinks the best thing is all the noise they make when she bangs them together or against something else. But she also likes the box they come in. She loves putting them in the box and out of the box. Many times it's just a lucky drop, but she's definitely warming up to the idea of "play."


She hasn't quite figured out how to put the shapes through the lid yet. But it is one of her favorite things to grab.

Thank you Grandma & Grandpa for giving this cutie such a fun toy!

Yes!

Camden has reached a new milestone...

She can sit up by herself!

Okay, okay, it does only last for a few brief minutes, but we're on our way. Hooray for Camden!

Grandpa's Hat

Grandpa French stopped by last night to say hi. Camden instantly grabbed for his hat. So Grandpa obliged and let Camden try it on.

Can this girl wear a hat or what?

Ladybugs in Winter

As we are in the negative temperatures today (-4 with windchill of -24), Camden is dressed in one of her snuggliest, warmest sleepers. She's as snug as a bug!


Check out those feet!

And take a look at her backside...
