Happy One Month Birthday, Camden!

Camden at 1-month

Today marks Camden's one month birthday! It's been the most wonderful month of our lives. It's such a cliche, but it truly has gone by so fast. Just a month ago we had everyone on pins and needles wondering, "What's this kid going to look like?" and "I hope he's healthy," and the question for many "What will his name be?"

"I'm gonna get you daddy!"

Even after a month, Camden still hasn't quite figured out his days and nights. He's not fussy at night, just wide awake. A couple of nights ago he and daddy were up for about an hour and half from 3am-430am. He just stares at me and it looks like he's thinking, "Look at me! Don't go to sleep you weakling! I'm going to break your will!" And in the picture to the right, it looks like he's pounding his right fist into his left hand as if to say, "Don't fall asleep on me daddy, or else..."

"Camden's time in the tanning bed is paying off."

Also this past week, Camden got a new friend, Alexander Austin Franson. Alex was born to our friends Chris and Shannon on September 27th. When we all found out that we were pregnant at the same time with the Fransons, we decided to enroll in our baby class together. We joked at the time that since our estimated due dates were so close together, that we could have been at the hospital at the same time. Turns out, had we had Camden on his original due date, we would have been at the hospital at same time.

Shannon is from Texas, hence the middle name Austin. It prompted my friend and I to come up with some other possible names for Alex. Such as, Alexander Lubbock. Or Alexander Waco. And, my personal favorite, Alexander Paso (Al Paso for short). I'm guessing none of those made the final cut.

To help celebrate Camden's one month birthday, his Auntie Paige flew up from Phoenix. She's so good with him and Camden is instantly soothed when she's around. Auntie Paige, however, isn't into soothing when Camden needs a diaper change. In order to be a "favorite Auntie" she's gotta start changing diapers.

The competition for that title heats up later this weekend when Aunt Lisa arrives with Uncle Tony. Grandma and Grandpa Sindt just couldn't stay away any longer so they made the trip up from Iowa to be with all the kids. Stay tuned for more family pictures....

The humidity here was cause for Camden to take his top off.
