New Discoveries

Wow, I never imagined a little could learn so much so fast. Every since Camden started walking about a month ago, he's learned so much. He's just a few weeks shy of 18 months, and here is what he's mastered lately:

- When asked how a pig goes, he quickly makes a loud snort with his nose
- When asked how a cow goes, he says 'MMM MMM"
- When asked how Pappy's sheep goes, he "Ba, aaaaaaa"
- Will clearly say Mom, Dad, Nana (my mom), and Pap (my dad) in the perfect context when looking for us
- He will say truck when he sees Daddy's truck or any other truck or tractor; however, his pronunciation is "guck"
- Places his hat on his head and ends up at the door to go outside, of course
- Will throw his diaper away in the trash
- Goes to the pantry door when asked if he would like a snack or goes to the fridge for a drink
- Will put both his little hands on his cheeks and/or eyes as if he's hiding. If we say "boo" he'll take his hands from his cheeks and/or eyes and crack up laughing hysterically
- Loves, loves, loves books - he will set by himself beside his book basket and look at books one after another. He'll also bring a book to you to read. He has access to his hard back books that have sturdy pages at all times, but we keep the softback books with paper pages on a shelf. He doesn't get to read those with out help. Lately he has been taking our hands and leading us to the bookshelf as he wants to ready the "big boy" books with Mommy and Daddy (the sweetest thing ever!)
- Knows exactly where the lawn tractor is kept (in the little red shed). When outdoors he'll go the little red shed and bang on the door as he wants to ride the lawn tractor
- Enjoys the sandbox and knows exactly how to shovel sand out onto the ground
- Is fascinated with the water hose and tries his hardest to roll up the hose on the hose real after using the hose
- Knows the location of his belly button, nose, eyes, teeth, ears, and hair
- Likes to brush his teeth and does quite well - if only we could get him to learn that he should only use "his" toothbrush and not Mommy or Daddy's or any other toothbrush that he spots
- Is a dancing machine - to commercials, in the car, to The Wiggles (his favorite), Daddy's whistling, or Mommy's singing. Camden will even attempt to sing if we sing to him - it is so funny!
- Loves to go for bike rides (although he has a bit of a fit when we put the helmet one, but once we get rolling he's happy and doesn't want to get off). He doesn't realize that bike riding is hard work for Mommy and Daddy since we're so out of shape and get very upset when the ride is over!

Still wanting to go, go, go....
These bubbles go in his bubble lawn mower but he is more interested in the bubble packaging
Big smile for Mommy as he is excited to wear his new hat

It is truly amazing how quickly he picks up on things. Each day I love him more and more!
