-still LOVES eating his fists and fingers
-Camden went into a pool for the first time on Father's Day :)

Diaper size: newborn

Clothing size: newborn

Eating schedule: every 2.5-3 hours during the day, between 3-4 hours at night

Cries when: hungry or tired

Camden has joined our family seamlessly! He is such a sweet baby and pretty easy going so far, considering he's always being lugged around to his big brother's activities and school! 

Calvin loves being a big brother. He's so proud to tell everyone he has a baby brother. It really is the sweetest thing. He loves to help get clean diapers when Camden needs to be changed, and pick out the bath toys when Camden needs a bath :)

We're so excited to watch Camden grow and watch the boys as they share that brotherly bond. There will undoubtedly be lots of boo boos, fights, wrestling and tears along the way, but we know these two boys will be the best of friends!

Happy Birthday Camden!

 We are overjoyed to welcome

Tim and I headed to the hospital around 5am, as we were the first scheduled c-section of the day.

We were taken back where I was prepped for surgery. Shortly thereafter, we met our little man!

Here are some pictures from Camden's birthday, and his first few weeks home...

Our little peanut :)

On our way home!

Merry Christmas!!!

Calvin makes sure there is no shortage of fun!

 

The boys!
