January Update - Cam Eleven Month

Did January feel insanely long to anyone else? It seemed to just drag on and on and on. We had lots of fun, and took some time to get back into the swing of things after the holidays, but man, it's hard to believe that it's only the 8th of February... But honestly, what's harder to believe is that Campbell will be ONE YEAR OLD in less than a month. January may have seemed long to me, but this first year with Cam has flown by.

We spent lots of time outside this last month, enjoying the unusually warm "winter" weather. Cam loves parks, and can climb up the playground equipment and find his way to a slide and will do that over and over again to his hearts content. The swings are also a hit with Bubba, and I'm happy to report that after only a few bites of sand, he decided that it wasn't for him, and hasn't eaten any since.

We have had lots of other outings, one to Butterfly Wonderland to visit Auntie who works there, and also to the zoo with our church friends. He loves to look at the world around him, and will sit contentedly in his carrier or stroller for the entire afternoon just admiring the trees, animals, flowers, butterflies, and people. He's a social little bug and loves to wave and smile and babble to everyone.

He got a walker for Christmas and has loved zooming around the house with it. It's the most adorable thing, and I love to watch him navigate around obstacles and zip after Izzy all day long. It's helped him a lot and he took his first steps a few weeks ago at Nana's house. He's still a little timid and won't walk without his walker too much, but I think he will be walking full time here really soon.

He has started to show more interest in toys and books and will sit for long periods of time just examining everything. He likes to knock over Izzy's block towers and swipe all the toys off of his shelves. He loves to chase Franklin, and pull himself up on any sturdy surface he can find. He's so busy and full of energy and smiles.

As always, this month was full of belly laughs and slobber and boogers and snuggles and cute siblings and memories and the best of times with the best little boy in the world. I love him so much, and I'm so glad that he is all mine!!!
