CHRISTMAS 2012

Christmas was so much fun this year. We headed to richfield on the Friday before and we stayed until the day after. The day after, we headed to Las Vegas to celebrate with Austin's family. While we were in richfield, we took Camden and his cousins sledding, ate lots of goodies, did our last minute shopping, played in the snow, and went on lots of christmas rides. Santa found camden and he was so glad. He got a slide/climber thing, a power wheel 4 wheeler and lots of other stuff. He has a lot of people who love him so he gets extra spoiled on christmas. I couldn't imagine the holidays without our little guy. I am thankful for him and our families we have to celebrate with!

19 MONTHS

Well, my little Camden is now 19 months old. I can't believe it. He is a little toddler and is so much fun. I love that he has his own little personality and is starting to talk. He's definitely not in the best talker but he's improving. :) We had a blast with him over the holidays and we feel so blessed to have him in our lives.

At 19 months Camden:

• can say dad, mom, dog, ball, hi, bye, please (pees), binky, baba (which he calls every drink), banana (nana), lets go, football, ouch, uh oh, eyes, Lou
• understands almost everything we tell him.
• only has one bottle a day now and it's actually during the night. We are working on getting rid of it.
• loves his dad so much and hates when he is gone.
• is super busy and runs around in circles, jumps off the couch, loves to play in the backyard, is constantly going.
• LOVES balls... footballs, soccer balls, basketball, any type! He's definitely Austins kid. :)
• his favorite food is strawberries and easy mac.
• knows where his eyes, teeth, ears, hair, and nose are.
• knows what noise kitties, dogs, ducks, and cows make. He knows what Santa says.
• his favorite movie is Arthur Christmas and we have literally watched it probably 20 times.
• is obsessed with his blanket. He has to have it everywhere we go and hates when it gets washed.
• - he is also attached to his binky. I don't want to even think about getting rid of that thing haha but sooner or later, it will be gone!!
• has just started to sit through movies and cartoons. he loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse.
• is TERRIBLE at restaurants, shopping and church.
• loves to play at the gym daycare.
• loves to go to Richfield to play with all his cousins, grandparents and of course Lou!
• his very favorite person might be my nephew, Jackson. :)
• he tries to say "where are you" but it is not clear, ha! When he is looking for his binky he says, "binky... where are you?"
• can jump and he thinks he's pretty cool when he does it.
• loves the hot tub and is NOT scared of the water. he will just jump right in.

We are lucky to have such a cute little guy.
