9 months

September 2017

Weight: 21 lbs.
Height: 29 inches 
Diaper Size: finishing up three, and about to go into four
Clothing Size: 18 months
# of Teeth: still none
Eating Schedule: Camden drinks 4, 9 oz. bottles per day (he doesn't always finish them all). He's taking 1 big nap and 1 small nap a day. He's down for the night at 7:30pm. He sleeps until 6:45-7:15am.
Favorite Food: Cheerios
Milestones:
-We have a crawler! Camden crawled for the first time about 2 weeks ago while watching big brother at gymnastics class.
-Camden has become more vocal and now says, "dada," "mama," "baba," and "naynay."
-Camden started clapping his hands :)
-Camden experienced his first hurricane. 
Living in Florida for over 20 years, Tim and I are accustomed to "hurricane season," and what that all entails. Tim actually was a child living in Miami during Hurricane Andrew, and I've been through a few big ones myself (none nearly as devastating as Andrew, though). As a kid, a hurricane meant no school and puddles to jump in afterward. As an adult, it meant no work and hurricane parties. Now, as parents, these storms take on a whole new meaning and obvious set of responsibilities. This past week we got the scare of a lifetime when it was looking as though a Category 5 Hurricane Irma was heading our way. The storm didn't reach us until Sunday, but water, fuel, and other supplies were depleted when I made my first trip to Costco on Tuesday. Needless to say, we spent the rest of the week relentlessly preparing for the storm. We seriously considered evacuating Wednesday and Thursday, but that was when the storm started to weaken and we made the decision to stay. We live in a home built just 4 years ago that meets all current hurricane codes and we have a full set of hurricane shutters for every window and door. By the time the storm made it to Tampa, it had weakened to a Category 1, which was a huge relief. The wind was intense and the rain heavy, but we survived with a minor roof leak. We didn't even lose electricity. The boys slept through the entire thing and I'm shocked Lexi did too!
We are so lucky to have been spared what could have been catastrophic damage to our home and so incredibly grateful that we are all safe!
