Happy Spring!

It's been over a week now since our last post. Lots has happened this past week, and we would like to share some of this week's highlights. Here is a picture of Camden last Thursday when he turned 5 weeks old.Camden celebrated the day by staying awake about 10 hours with only a few 15 minute cat naps. We are hoping that he does not think he's too big for naps now! Saturday was filled with fun as our friend Brooke came over to play with us. Brooke's mommy is one of my mommy's very best friends. Daddy joined in on our play date. Brooke is 5 months old and she loves to swing. Here she is in my swing having a blast.For lunch we loaded up in Daddy's truck and went to Reid's Sandwich Shop. Brooke is fully awake and ready to ride, but I thought I'd catch a little snooze on the way. Needless to say, by the time we arrived at Reid's, Brooke was conked out too.On Wednesday, Mommy and I were invited to Steph and Riley Young's house for a play date. There were 7 mommies, 7 babies, and 1 toddler. What a house full! Of the 7 babies, 6 of the babies are 6 months old and younger. Here is a group photo (you can see that I am not fond of this photo shoot). From left to right, Camden Yake (6 weeks), Gabe Knepp (12 months), Meredith Bean (3 months), Ava Rainey (3 years), Riley Young (6 months), Aspen Rainey (4 months), and Caitlyn Cribbs (4 months). Emily Ash (6 months) came too, but she and her mommy had to leave a litle early. We had a very good time and are looking forward to our next play date at the park in a few weeks.
Today Camden is 6 weeks old. It feels like yesterday that he arrived. It is amazing to see him grow so quickly. At 6 weeks he has begun to sleep through the night, greatly enjoys swinging, loves to set on Daddy's knees and coo, beginning to like tummy time, and is eating like a little piggy. We are very much looking forward to the next few weeks as Camden should begin giving us genuine smiles (and not just when he has gas). We are truly amazed how parenthood can pull at the heartstrings!
