It Must Be A Guy Thing

Today I set Camden in the corner of the couch while I sat down to make a menu and grocery list. He immediately put his arms into this position.
I thought it was so cute, a typical guy position when lounging on the couch. Not thinking it would last, I snapped a photo. No joke twenty minutes later I looked over and he was still sitting there, not moving a muscle, just chillin.
Doesn't he looked relaxed. I wondered how long this could possibly go on!
It was probably a total of 45 minutes until I got my menu and grocery list complete and this is what I saw!

He is such a good baby. Even when he isn't feeling the best he is totally content on his own and me not entertaining. I just hope this lasts forever:)

It's The Thought That Counts

Two new neighbors just moved in so I thought I would try to be crafty and make them a welcome treat. Try is the key word here. My good pal Martha Stewart made it, why can't I? First off I couldn't find the perfect Daisy cookie cutter so I settled for another. And second of all, I was to impatient and didn't wait for the Rice Krispie treats to sit out long enough(it was getting late and I wanted to be done). And last, I didn't see the need to make them as thick as Martha said.


Needless to say they didn't turn out!


As you can tell by this photo I didn't finish the grass. Why you ask...if you look close you will see that my flowers were starting to fall over, so I stopped to take this picture. Shortly after this photo all but one flower fell over. Oh well, it was an honest attempt at being a good neighbor, maybe next time I'll have success.

Anyone have any other cute ideas to take to my neighbors?

Uncle Cracker

For those of us lucky enough to know my brother, aka Uncle Cracker, you know what this shirt is about. For those that don't, let me explain. My brother's real name is Chad, ya know like the country in Central Africa. One year for Christmas he decided to have this shirt made and give it as gifts. Well the next year he needed to one up his gift from the year before. So he made a shirt of him wearing last years shirt.
So today Dan was wearing this shirt and Camden was staring at it and batting at Chad's face. It was pretty funny. So this post is for you Uncle Cracker...holla!

New and Crazy Things

Camden has started doing a bunch of new and crazy things lately. Most recently he finds it rather humorous to scream just for the heck of it. I was at the scrapbook store yesterday using some of their equipment and he decided to bust out the girly scream. He was in no way, shape, or form distressed; it was simply for attention and to frustrate mom. I would look over at him, get in his face and say, "You stop it right now"(as if he understands that). This only made him laugh and then proceed with louder, longer screaming. Normally I would try to ignore such behavior but a class was going on in the room next to me(there was no door to separate us), and a woman on the phone using the same equipment. The only thing that would silence the scream was for me to sing this one silly song to him. Please note this scream is no ordinary scream. It is high pitched and loud!

So there you have it people! You know your a mom when...you would rather have people hear you singing the same silly song over and over so your kid doesn't continue screaming, and you can finish whatever you started. It was really a pathetic site.

The next new thing he has discovered is his feet. He cannot get enough of them. He is constantly grabbing them and playing with them. It is rather nice, I don't need to find a toy for him because these two are always attached.
This was what he was found doing during his diaper change tonight. If he keeps this up we won't need a pacifier anymore either, his foot will do.

Lately I have been waking up to him "blowing raspberries" or spitting bubbles with his lips in his crib. He does this instead of crying to let me know he is awake. Today during his nap I noticed he had been sleeping for a really long time. When I went in his room to check on him I found him doing this very thing, wide awake. Who knows how long he had been up there doing it, maybe I should bust out the monitor...Nah, more quite time for me:)

I Looked Out The Window And What Did I See?

My neighbors already have their stinkin' Christmas lights up! Are you kidding me, I think it is a little soon. Have we forgotten about the holiday that falls in between Halloween and Christmas?????

This problem is not only with my neighbor. I went to Wal-Mart and what did I hear playing over the loud speaker...Christmas Music! This gives me serious anxiety! This year has FLOWN by, I cannot believe I am expected to be thinking about Christmas already.

I know, I know. This picture is a little blurry, but you get the point. The have their icicle Christmas lights hanging people. I really need to have a talk with them.

WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN...

What do you get when you cross a Camden who was up all night sick and...

has a booger nose in the morning?
NO SLEEP!

Camden was up quite a few times last night not feeling very well. So this morning when I went to get him from his crib, this is what I found! He had so many nasty boogers crusted to his face, but he was gladly smiling. How could I not take a picture?

It was pretty sad not seeing our typically happy boy today. He has been throwing up and crying most of the day! I have felt totally helpless and mega tired. But nonetheless more in love with this kid.

P.S. Happy not so 29th birthday Mom(shh..don't tell, she turned 50 today)!

What Happened To Your Spikes?

The other night while Dan was bathing Camden, he decided it would be fun to give him a Mohawk.

Because he went to bed with his hair this way, when he woke up it was sort of a half way Mohawk. I didn't think much of it and went to the gym. When I dropped him off at the day care, the cute old lady that always takes him was in love with his new do! She kept on commenting on how cute his "spikes" were. So the next morning when I dropped him off and he didn't have the same hair do, the sweet lady wanted to know what happened to his "spikes".

I tell ya...Dan is pretty serious about this whole hair thing now. When I went to work on Tuesday I came home and Dan had used his own hair paste to make Camden's Mohawk stay. It was pretty funny! I wonder what he would come up with if we had a girl?!?!?
