Planting Flowers and Moving Out

It was such a beautiful day outside today. Austin and I look Camden outside for a bit today to catch some fresh air and to plant a few flowers.
Camden is so much like Austin and LOVES to be outside. Camden can be roaring but before you can get both feet out the door his roar turns into a peaceful purr. I captured a few shots of our fun day outside today.

Austin finished up at school yesterday and we now have 2 full weeks of family time before I return to work. Honestly, I do not know how I will manage being away from Camden all day in a few weeks, but I know God will give me the strength I need. Our family is so fortunate that Austin gets to spend 3 months home with Camden. With me going back to work, Daddy and Camden will have some special father-son bonding time just like Mommy had some special mother-son time together the past few months. Before I head back to work, we thought it would be a good idea if we could get Camden moved from our bedroom in his bassinet to his room in the big boy crib.
I plan to get to work by 6:30 am each morning so that I can be home by 3 pm, and I will need as much uninterrupted sleep as I can get. Plus, Camden is now active enough to roll his bassinet around on hardwood floors in our bedroom which means he is getting too big for the bassinet. I'm having a tough time with this as he seems to be growing way to fast for me. The last 2 months have gone by so quickly I have to continue to remind myself to savor every minute before is becomes a memory! Tonight I was rocking Camden he grasped his blanky so tight. I hope this is comforting to him as he graduates out of his sleeping nest beside me. I know I will next extra comfort tonight as Camden will not be right next to me while he sleeps for the very first time. After Camden fell asleep I lied him in his crib and his eyes popped open and he was fully awake and ready to play. After a few minutes, he realized how tired he was and we rocked some more. He is finally sound asleep in his crib, and now it is Mommy's turn to try and get some sleep. We'll let you know a bit later how it goes (whether or not I'm able to sleep without my little guy beside me).
