Forget Voice Mail

Apparently I'm worse at updating my blog than I am at listening to voicemails.  Now that school is out for the summer, I have no excuse for not updating:)  I think one of the reasons it takes me forever to return phone calls/write blog posts is because I want to have time to invest in the person I'm talking to or writing for.  If I only have a few minutes, I feel like I can't put my heart into what I say.  And my heart has been so full over the past few months that I just felt like I couldn't get everything out the way I wanted to without spending some quality time with my Mac.  And unfortunately for it, my Mac has some serious competition when it come to attention-getting:
He wins every time.  What has this baby toddler been up to?  Here is a quick little update about Camden to catch you up:
  • He is talking and babbling constantly.  Currently anything he points to is an apple or apple juice.  I don't think I have to add a separate bullet for his favorite food/beverage.  He also says hi dad (with the phone up to his ear), hi cat (usually while he is terrorizing our cat Chloe), mama, dada, baby, bottle, Aunt B, yay, and a bunch of other stuff we haven't quite figured out yet.  He also meows when he sees or hears Chloe.  
  • He is sooo snuggly.  My favorite is when he comes up behind me when I'm cooking and attaches himself to my leg like a little koala.  So cute.
  • He is walking!  This is such a big deal for us because we were told during our whirlwind appointments surrounding his diagnosis that he probably wouldn't be walking until 18 months.  
  • He has 9 teeth and 2 molars.  We haven't gotten a lot of sleep lately.  We did have about 2 blissful months of all-night sleep until round 2 of teething started a few weeks ago.  
  • He LOVES Chloe.  She loves him back and lets him do this:    
(Sorry this is sideways!)
  • He loves to dance and pretend like things are drums:
  • He can point to his belly button, nose, and tries to put on his shoes by himself.  He also tries to put on his own diaper when he's not spinning like an alligator on the changing table.
  • He is a climber.  He loves to climb onto the back of his chair in our living room and turn the TV on and off.  I have also found him on top of the whicker hamper in his room.  Hopefully I won't find him on top of the refrigerator one day like our cat.

I love the picture of Cam and Chloe! Cara likes to chase Gabby too. Unfortunately, I don't think Gabby likes Cara as much as Chloe likes Camden! :-)
