Camden is 18 months old now!

Camden turned a year and a half on Friday, March 4th. It is truly hard to believe that he was born a week before Millie turned 18 months old. We celebrated the day with ice cream sandwiches, pizza and more ice cream. Kids and dads just can't eat enough ice cream.


Camden is now walking straighter. He has been wearing his orthopedic supports in his sneakers since February 16th. He is talking more but really just words that Matt and I can understand. Mostly he says the beginning of a word and then points to show us. Matt taught him how to say "Run, get to the chopper!" (quoting Arnold Schwarzenegger from the Predator movie) He's hilarious and says it all the time, even at random. His favorite part of the day is evening which involves all of his favorite things eating, bathing, eating again, reading, and sleeping.

He's using utensils but prefers his hands more. He likes to help make messes. He may turn out to be a lefty.


He shows excitement by squeezing his fists and smiling real big.


He's a curious monkey. This is literally where I found him Friday afternoon. Trash intrigues him. Also this week, he walked to me with a screwdriver in his mouth. How and where on earth he found that, I'm still not sure. I bet we'll be visiting the ER before his second birthday. I don't know how we've managed to avoid it thus far. I have to keep my eyes on him at all times or else he'll find the worst place to be in our childproofed home.

His endless obsession with wheels is the sweetest thing to watch. Every car toy in our house can usually be found upside down. It's Cam's signature move.
We are in love with our boy. He brings so much joy to our family. He's got a well baby check-up on Monday. I am wondering if he weighs the same as Millie. I think it's close. He's already in some 2T clothing.

They are my favorite way to spend my week day.
