Up He Goes

Camden's method of standing up is different than I remember Sophie's way of doing it. She always used things around her to pull up on, while he prefers a wide open space. He gets himself into a little sumo wrestler pose and just pops right up. His balance is already really good, he'll stand that way for quite some time, usually waiting for the cheering and applause.

Ten Months

Camden turned 10 months old on February 17! It's getting trickier to get him to sit in this rocking chair for our monthly pictures. Even with the help of my little sidekick, Sophie, we have to be quick before he's trying to wiggle away. This kid doesn't stay still for long.

 Recently Camden sprouted a new tooth (his sixth!), has started standing up all on his own, which of course requires lots of clapping, caught another cold (boo!) but now seems to be just about over it and is sleeping through the night again (yay!)

His current favorite things are eating, eating and more eating. Although it isn't that tough to do, he already eats more than Sophie and he doesn't seem to be too picky. Hurray! Although if he points to something you have, you better hand it over or there will be a big price to pay. He's starting to show more and more of his personality, playing funny games with us and cracking himself up. He loves to shove a leaf or handful of dirt in his mouth then wait for my reaction. When I say, "yuck!" he laughs hysterically and crawls away as fast as he can. The weather has been beautiful and this little dude has been enjoying every minute we spend outdoors.

P.S. I know I always say this, but I swear his hair isn't red. I just never bother adjusting the white balance on my camera before I take a picture in his room. Bad lighting in there, apparently.

P.P.S Sophie at 10 Months

Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

We spent a long weekend in Truckee, hoping to enjoy a little winter wonderland. Sophie had a checklist of activities that she was hoping to accomplish that included building a snowman, ice skating and skiing. On our first afternoon there, Chase and Sophie got right to work building her first snowman. Sadly, a few hours after this it started raining and rained all weekend so we couldn't finish the rest of her last but we promised we'd go back!

Basketball

The weather has been pretty great and we've really been enjoying the space we have to play outside. Chase and Sophie like to play a little basketball while Camden and I cheer them on from the sidelines.

Cheeeeeese

Camden is always happy to smile for the camera.
