Camden turns 13 months old!






Our Mister Messy-Mess is already 13 months old. He has spent this last month transitioning to one long nap a day, sleeping from 7pm to 7am (most nights) and getting into everything off-limits.

Here's what he's doing:
- he's said his first real word "that" while pointing at "that"
- imitates a whale "ah-ooh-ga!" He learned that from his new Go Diego Go dvd. He'll say it whenever he's asked what sound the whale makes. It's so funny!
- he's figured out how to get a laugh out of you too. He'll repeat whatever he's doing that you're laughing at over and over again.
- he kisses and hugs all the time.
- he's signing more, all-done, yes and no. We're working on "please" and "thank you".
- he loves playing peek-a-boo.
- he loves chasing the vacuum cleaner.
- he's strong too! he can move our iron bar chairs across the room.
- he loves taking things apart and putting them back. He's becoming his sister's clean-up helper.
- he opens, shuts, climbs, slides, stands (for about 5 seconds), marks with chalk, throws, rolls, and catches a ball.

This month he's experienced some discipline and more "no, Camden" scolds. He's been in timeout most days since September 27th for getting into the dog bowl, Millie's potty chair and our fake plants. For timeout- I put him in the pack n'play for a minute. He handles it well. That's where he has solo playtime a couple times a day anyway.

Camden is still in love with his mama. He nurses 1-3 short times a day. I see an end to breastfeeding probably this month, unfortunately. He's just so busy, and his food intake is a lot more. His favorite food is yogurt, and he could eat it for every meal. He has no problems drinking his milk from a sippy cup or straw or my glass. And for the record on average, he eats more than his sister does.

We love our boy!
