Happy Halloween

This Happy Halloween wish is a bit late; however, it is better late than never, right? Tonight we stayed here at home as I'm fighting off a bug. Earlier in the we celebrated Halloween and allowed Camden to do some trick-or-treating. We didn't collect any candy but we did collect some money and toys. Camden is having a great time with his new toys and his piggy bank is getting fuller.

My First Pumpkin

The very first weekend in September Austin and I hunted everywhere for a pumpkin. Camden was due for his 6 months photo shoot and we wanted to get some photos of Camden with a pumpkin. Austin finally found a pumpkin at a nursery in Vincennes. We've held on to this pumpkin since the first of September and yesterday we finally had the opportunity to carve it. It was a bit chilly outdoors yesterday so we carved the pumpkin indoors. Here is what Camden thought of the experience.









Pictures of Camden and his Pumpkin to come.......check back soon!

Milestones

This week my sister, Allie, came home mid-week and watched Camden while I was at work. She came to our house so that we didn't have to drag Camden out (which was so nice for a change - thanks so much Allie). I did well and didn't call a hundred times to see how things were going. I was in a meeting at work and my phone rang so I let the voicemail pick-up. During lunch I checked my voicemail and it was Allie. I called her back to see if she needed anything and she had exciting news to share. Camden had been setting up on his own for over 2 minutes at a time. I was a bit saddened that I wasn't home to witness this special milestone, but I was also happy that Aunt Allie got to witness this. She doesn't get to see Camden as much as she'd like so I'm sure it was special for her to see him set up for the very first time. Here is photo that was taken during this special moment (I hear that there was a video, but the video was erased after Camden fell backwards and bumped his head on the floor - it is okay Allie - I forgive you). Thanks again Allie for making the trip home and spending the day with Camden.
