Maryn - 7 Years Old

All about Maryn at 7 years old!!!




Nicknames: Mar, MarBear (although MarBear is happening less and less as she gets older :( )
Weight & Height:
Hair: She has super thick hair with beautiful curls in the back and underneath.  Most of the time I keep it cut in a short bob, but currently she is on a kick to grow it out so she can do cute stuff with it :)
Favorite foods: Pasta, pizza, cherries, plums, cauliflower, donuts and cake (this was straight out of her mouth!)
Favorite Drink:  Lemonade, Juice, and Root Beer (even though she's only had it 3 times!)
Favorite toys: Lego Friends, American Girl dolls, Kindle Fire, her new bike, iPod, anything she can make-up with her sisters
Favorite stuffed animal: puppy

First day of school - 1st grade




School: She is in 1st grade at Echo Hill elementary and has Mrs. Seery for a teacher.  She is excelling at everything in school.  She is in the high math group and is reading at a 3rd grade level already.
Favorite Books: Anything she can get her hands on!  She's read over 30 of the Magic Tree House books, most of the Rainbow Fairy books, the new Amelia Bedelia chapter books, Heidi Heckelbeck, Ivy and Bean, Sophie series, and the Never Fairies. She seems to favor mystery books and told me her new favorite series is Cam Jansen.
Bedtime: Try to be in bed by 8:30.
Wake-up time: I wake the girls up at 7:30 on school mornings.  They have 15 minutes to get dressed and brush their teeth, then they come upstairs and have 15 minutes to eat breakfast, and then 15 minutes to gather back pack, lunch, get shoes on and out the door to the bus stop!  Maryn does not like mornings, but she has been doing very well with it this year.
Latest Accomplishment: Scoring 5 goals in one quarter at a soccer game :)
Likes: soccer, dance, getting treats, being a social butterfly, playing with her sisters, playing apps on Kindle Fire, singing

She lost her first tooth on 7/3/13.  Daddy was at camp with Makenna, so Mommy had to pull it out :)  She lost her 2nd tooth just a few weeks later.




Dislikes: if she does something that's not perfect (ie. has to erase something on her homework), not doing something right the first time and having to get corrected by mom or dad (she is a perfectionist... gee, I wonder where she got that from?!), chores, when she doesn't have the right outfit to wear
Fears: Not fitting in, being different from the crowd, having people not like her
Favorite show:  Austin & Ally
Favorite Movie:  Despicable Me


Maryn with her the birthday cake that she picked out and planned every detail for.  She is incredibly detail- oriented and knows what she wants.  I like that in a girl!



Activities: Soccer - She is an impressive soccer player. She scores every game, usually multiple times, and is a good defender as well.  She really gets the strategy of how to play the game (I have had other parents tell me this).  She also is a tad bit too aggressive on the field and has been called for a handful of penalties this year ;)  I would by lying if I told you I was shocked by this.  Dance - She just started ballet and jazz this fall.  I wasn't so sure if she would like it, but she does and she is very good at it.  I think her extreme confidence helps make for a good dancer :)
Health:  Over the summer Maryn got really sick with a bad case of what they diagnosed as tonsillitis.  I'm still not convinced that's what it was.  All I know is that the mild antibiotics wouldn't knock whatever she was fighting and she had to be put on the strong stuff, which then messed up her gut for the rest of the summer :(.

Swimming with Mykaela on vacation in the Ozarks


What She Wants To Be When She Grows Up: An entrepreneur and a mom.  Everyone laughs when she says entrepreneur, but that has been her answer for almost 18 months now.  She wants to own a bunch of different businesses!!!
Interesting Tidbit:  She is our in-house fashionista!  She is very into clothing and style and likes to create her own outfits (or tell her sisters what they should wear!).  She has been doing this since she was a very little girl and the amazing thing is that she will take items that you wouldn't usually pair together and somehow turn them into a hip outfit!  She does it time and time again and Josh and I just laugh!  Then her sisters try to do the same and they look like they walked out of an episode of "What Not To Wear"!  It's just a gift I guess.  As part of being an entrepreneur, one of the companies she wants to own is a clothing store so she can design her own clothing line.  I always lay the girls clothes out the night before and many times you can find her in her room meticulously studying the outfit and making changes as she sees fit :)  Most of the time it's because Mom is not hip enough or the outfit is not fancy/girly enough !  Oh I love her! And we thought she was going to be our tomboy... we were wrong.
What We Hear About Maryn:  Lately I've been having a lot of people tell me how much they love her name.  We also hear how much fun she is and a few of her teachers at church tell us what a sweet, good girl she is.  Oh and that Maryn and Maya could be twins :)

Lynlee & Cambell - 1 Year Old




All About Lynlee - 1 Year Old



Nicknames:  Lynnie, Lynnie Lu, Bug, Lynnie Bug, Lyn
Weight & Height:  She weighed 20 lbs 8 oz (59%) and was 30 1/2 inches long (87%) at her 1 year physical.
Favorite foods: My suspicions were accurate... little Bug has an allergy to dairy.  We now suspect she may have an allergy to almonds (possibly all tree nuts) as well.  She is going to the allergist late in October to get tested.  But in the meantime, she loves to eat anything salty :)  Unlike most kids, she really enjoys meat and will gobble up just about any meat I put in front of her.  She loves most fruits - strawberries, blueberries, grapes, peaches, nectarines, plums, watermelon and bananas are a few of her favorites.  Veggies she is not as crazy about, mostly only wanting peas, cooked carrots, and avocado.  I still give her baby food pouches to makes sure she's getting enough veggies.  She loves puffs, graham cracker bunnies, and crackers for snacks.  She also likes whole grain waffles and bread.

Messy dinner!


Favorite Drink: She drinks enriched rice milk and water.  Josh let her try very diluted apple juice once and she wasn't interested.
Favorite toys: Princess push car, pink Little People car, Leapfrog table (climbing on top of it), blue push toy
Bedtime: 7:00

Wake-up time: Right about 9 1/2 months old she got rid of her 4 am wake-up time.  She now sleeps all the way through the night and typically wakes up between 6:00 - 6:30 am.
Naps: She still takes 2 naps a day. She goes down for her morning nap around 9:00 and sleeps for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Then takes her afternoon nap at 2:00 and sleeps anywhere from 1 1/2 - 2 hours.  She reminds me of Makenna in that she doesn't need near as much sleep.  Cambell gets tired and cranky much faster than Lynlee.
What she's saying: Lynnie has been talking for awhile now.  She says "mama" "dada" and "baba".  She actually knows what she's saying too!  She is much chattier compared to Cambell, but still doesn't say a whole lot that is understandable.




Latest Accomplishment: Walking, gave up bottles and formula, eats almost all table foods, goes from sitting to standing without holding on to anything, climbs everything
Likes: baths, chewing/sucking on things, walks in the stroller, swinging outside, pacifiers, climbing on anything she can find, pulling/playing with people's hair
Dislikes:  losing her pacifier during bedtime, Cambell trying to play with the same toy as her

Action shot!  She is constantly climbing.  Since this picture was taken, she can now scale the side of the "baby jail" and has flipped her way inside of it.  She also has managed on numerous occasions to climb up onto and stand on the window sill in the back ground.  She's a monkey, I'm sure of it :)



Health: Lynlee had a bad tummy bug at the beginning of summer.  She had diarrhea for probably close to 3 weeks.  She vomited some as well and just felt miserable :(  She struggled with dehydration and she was very close to being admitted to the hospital, but we were able to stave that off thankfully.  She also had a fever virus this fall for a few days.
Interesting Tidbits: She has a little birthmark on the top of her foot and another one by her knee.  She now has 6 teeth.  When she is tired she will pull on and twist her hair :)

  

All About Cambell - 1 Year Old

  

Nicknames:  Cammers, Cammer Jammer, Cam, Tank, Tiger, Buddy, Boy
Weight & Height: At his 12 month appointment he weighed 24 lbs 2 oz (86%) and was 30 1/4 inches long (60%).
Hair:  His hair doesn't grow very fast! I think it's been the same for 6 months now!  I think he is going to be a true blonde :)  Makes for a handsome little boy with his baby blue eyes!
Favorite foods: And taking after his big sister Maya, Cambell's dairy allergy didn't surface until we switched him to whole milk at 12 months old.  Stinker didn't want to feel left out with Lynlee's special diet :)  He is the opposite of Lynlee and doesn't care for meat very much.  He will eat some meats, but they are typical kid foods (chicken nuggets, hot dogs, hamburgers).  He likes the same fruit and veggie list as Lynlee -  strawberries, blueberries, grapes, peaches, nectarines, plums, watermelon, bananas, peas, cooked carrots, and avocado. His favorite snacks are crackers, puffs and graham cracker bunnies. He also likes whole grain waffles and bread.




Favorite Drink: He drinks enriched rice milk and water.  He has had watered down apple juice once and loved it.
Favorite toys: LeapFrog table, red car (outside), blocks, tupperware/dishes, bottles of any type (for some reason he is fascinated by Josh's beer bottles and had a full out tantrum one day when I wouldn't let him play with one he found in the recycling!), CAT push car, his trucks (he plays with them on the window ledge), his dog nappie, blue push toy
Favorite Person: Daddy.  I have never had a kid favor Daddy to the extent that Cambell does.  He is a DADDY'S BOY!  He cries when he leaves in the morning, squeals with delight when he gets to "talk" to him on the phone, and goes crazy when he comes home from work.
Bedtime: 7:00.
Wake-up time: He's usually up between 6:00 and 6:30.

Typical cheesy Cambell grin :)



Naps: He still takes 2 naps a day...   and needs them or else he is a bear!  He goes down for his morning nap around 9:00 and sleeps for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Then takes his afternoon nap at 2:00 and sleeps anywhere from 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
What he's saying: Words are hard to come by with this kid.  Everyone keeps telling me it's a boy thing.  He has said "mama" and "dada" but doesn't say them with great frequency.  Other than that we just gets lots of grunts and groans out of him :)
Latest Accomplishment: Walking, standing up from sitting without hanging on to anything, climbing up on stuff, eating all table food, giving up formula and a bottle

I had to include this picture because I'm fairly certain my parents have a picture of me doing the exact same thing at this same age.


Likes: baths, getting into cupboards and drawers, playing with bottles, sneaking into pantry/mudroom/bathroom or any other room he's not suppose to be in, climbing up stairs, walks in the stroller, swinging outside, dogs, watching ESPN with Daddy
Dislikes:  losing his pacifier or blanket during bedtime, not getting to take the first bath,
Health:He had a fever virus earlier this fall that his twin sister so nicely shared with him.  He's had some tummy troubles as well, but that all resolved once we figured out the dairy allergy.  He also has found his courage and with that has come all kinds of tumbles.  He had his first trip to Urgent Care this past week and had to get a cut glued up on his forehead (he fell into the leg of the rocking chair in his room).
Interesting Tidbits: Still pretty convinced he's left-handed. He has really wide, thick feet.  Shoes are going to be tough to come by for this kid!

Walking the girls to the bus stop on the first day of school.


Having a family picnic in the yard on their 1st birthday.

Lynlee & Cambell - 9 Months


All About Lynlee - 9 Months Old




Nicknames:  Lynnie, Lynnie Lu, Lynners, Bug, Lynnie Bug, Lyn
Weight & Height:  My teeny tiny baby isn't turning out to be so tiny after all!!! She weighed 18 lbs 11 oz (58%) and was 28 3/4 inches long (86%) at her 9 month appointment!  Tall and lean like her big sisters!
Hair: Fuzz head!  We did a treatment for cradle cap a few months ago and her hair has been coming in fast ever since.  She has light brown fuzzy hair that sticks up everywhere.  I'm guessing her hair will be the same color as Maya's.
Favorite foods: She is the sweetest eater.  She picks up one little thing at a time and nicely places it in her mouth :)  She has been a few weeks behind Cambell when it comes to eating... took her longer to figure out how to eat from a spoon, longer to pick up food with her fingers, etc.  But she's doing just fine now!  She really is not very picky.  She loves any fruit or veggie, Cheerios, Puffs, whole grain pasta, Kashi waffles, bananas, avocado.  We are already suspicious that she is allergic to dairy like Maya was.  Her tummy gets upset when she eats yogurt or cheese.



Favorite Drink: She only gets formula and water and drinks from both a bottle and a sippy cup.
Favorite toys: Leap Frog table, pink car, tearing Kleenex or napkins into tiny shreds



Favorite books:  Book time with the twins is hard.  I have them both in my lap and they fight over the book!  Who gets to turn the page?  Who gets to push the buttons? I want your pacifier instead of mine so I'll rip it out of your mouth!  Yep... that's pretty much what reading time looks like for the twins right now :)
Favorite stuffed animal: None yet.
Favorite Person: Mommy and Maryn

Watching her big sister's soccer game


Bedtime: Some time between 6:30 and 7:00 depending on how well and how late she napped that day.
Wake-up time: She's usually up between 6:00 - 6:30. She does typically still get up around 3:30/4:00 for about 10 minutes to eat and goes right back to sleep.
Naps: She still takes 2 naps a day. She goes down for her morning nap around 9:00 and sleeps for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Then takes her afternoon nap at 1:00 and sleeps anywhere from 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hours.  She reminds me of Makenna in that she doesn't need near as much sleep.  Cambell gets tired and cranky much faster than Lynlee.
What she's saying: Lynnie has been talking for awhile now.  She says "mama" "dada" and "baba".  She actually knows what she's saying too!  She is much chattier compared to Cambell.

Lynnie was the first one to pull up on the table!


Latest Accomplishment: Oh my goodness, there's so much at this age! Drinking from a sippy cup (7 months), eating real people food (8 months), army crawling ( 8 months), pulling herself to a standing position (9 months), getting to a sitting position on her own, waving, 1st tooth (7 months), walking along furniture.
Likes: baths, chewing/sucking on things, walks in the stroller, swinging outside, pacifiers, standing up in her crib
Dislikes:  losing her pacifier during bedtime, when she pulls herself up in her crib and can't get back down, getting her diaper changed (she is super squirmy)



What gets said about Lynlee most often: That she looks just like Makenna!!!  And that she has really big eyes.
Best known for: Being an easy baby.
Health: She is a healthy little peanut!  No health issues to report!  Just a minor cold over the winter.
Interesting Tidbits: She has two little teeth on the bottom.

Someone got into the Easter goodies....


  
 
All About Cambell - 9 Months Old

  



Nicknames:  Cammers, Cammer Jammer, Cam
Weight & Height:  For the little boy we lovingly call "Tank", he sure isn't that "tank"-like anymore.  He weighed 21 lbs 12 oz (81%) and was 29 1/4 inches long (82%).  Dr. said he is perfect weight for his height.  I'm used to long lean babies though... he is a solid little boy.  His legs are pure muscle!



Hair: I love his hair!  He has blonde hair that sweeps to the side like a big boy!  He is my blondest baby yet!  Definitely a little Josh :)
Favorite foods: He is the opposite of his sister when it comes to eating... she is nice and dainty and uses one hand, while Cambell uses both hands simultaneously to shove anything and everything into his mouth as fast as possible :)  It is quite a sight to see!  I don't know that there is anything he doesn't like.  The first few times he had green beans and peas they weren't his favorite (made faces like he wasn't enjoying it) but now eats them just fine.  Favorites would be avocado, ground beef, black beans, melon, strawberries, Kashi waffles, mommy's homemade mango salsa, cheerios, yogurt, cheese, puffs, bread (Daddy gave him a dinner roll the other night and he loved it!), and for the first time tonight - pizza.

Love this picture!  My little man after eating avocado for lunch. 


Favorite Drink: He only gets formula and water and drinks from both a bottle and a sippy cup.
Favorite toys: LeapFrog table, red car, anything and everything he's not suppose to have
Favorite books:  Book time with the twins is hard.  I have them both in my lap and they fight over the book!  Who gets to turn the page?  Who gets to push the buttons? I want your pacifier instead of mine so I'll rip it out of your mouth!  Yep... that's pretty much what reading time looks like for the twins right now :)  But with all that said, he seems to be drawn to the "10 Little Lady Bugs" book in their toy bin.
Favorite stuffed animal: I think he's going to be a blanket kid... he loves his blue/white striped monkey blanket.  We let him have one little corner of it through the slits on his crib so he can snuggle it and rub it on his cheek while he falls to sleep. 

We love to share pacifiers in our house :)  Cam doesn't care what color the paci is as long as he has a pacifier and his blanket, he's ready to sleep!



Favorite Person: Daddy... these two have quite the bond!
Bedtime: Some time between 6:30 and 7:00.
Wake-up time: He's usually up between 6:00 and 7:00.  Sometimes he'll get up at 5:00 to eat and then go back to sleep for a few hours.   He typically sleeps through the night unless his sister wakes him up :(

His favorite new place to play!  Funny thing is he can't get down on his own yet.  He'll just cry until we come get him :)



Naps: He still takes 2 naps a day...   and needs them or else he is a bear!  He goes down for his morning nap around 9:00 and sleeps for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Then takes his afternoon nap at 1:00 and sleeps anywhere from 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hours.
What he's saying: Cambell said his one and only word at 8 months - "mama"!  He's my only child to say "mama" first :)  And he said it when he was reaching for me so it just melted my heart!
Latest Accomplishment: Oh my goodness, there's so much at this age! Drinking from a sippy cup (6-7 months), eating real people food (7-8 months), pulling himself to a standing position (9 months), getting to a sitting position on his own, waving, climbing stairs, shaking his head "no".

His absolute favorite... driving his car!


Likes: baths, chewing/sucking on things, walks in the stroller, swinging outside, scale in our bathroom, eating, crawling around to find food that has dropped on the floor, getting into anything and everything he shouldn't (wires under desk, pantry, mom and dad's bathroom, bottom shelf in entryway)

Our little scavenger.  It's almost like we have a dog in the house!


Dislikes:  losing his pacifier during bedtime, sitting still long enough to get his diaper changed, having to wait while we give Lynlee food (he wants it NOW!)
What gets said about Cambell most often: That he looks just like Josh!  And that they can't believe how fast he can army crawl!  His speed is quite impressive!
Best known for: His unique army crawl and his sweet, sweet smile!  And shaking his head "no" whenever mommy sings or someone asks him a question!!!
Health: He is a healthy boy!  He has a little eczema on his bottom and gets a hive-like reaction when he cries too much, but those are both really minor.  He also gave us his first scare by falling down 3 steps in the garage.  Big sisters learned a huge lesson in shutting the doors tightly that day :(
Interesting Tidbits: Still no teeth!  And we are pretty sure he is going to be left-handed!  Oh and he has the world's softest, smooshiest cheeks I have ever felt.  I LOVE to kiss them :)  Poor kid!





Twin Stuff:

This picture is the epitome of 9 months old... pulling up on everything they can get their hands on!  Love these two and their sweet, sweet smiles!



Lynlee and Cambell right before their baby dedication at church.














Lynlee and Cambell definitely learn from each other and copy behaviors they see.  They both started waving within a day of each other.  They both pulled up to a standing position within a week of each other.  Cambell started army crawling at 5 months (all of our other girls did a regular crawl) and Lynlee now army crawls as well!  Neither one has any interest in regular crawling... it's like they don't even realize it's an option because they just do what the other one is doing!




Cambell did NOT like being outdoors when the weather got nice this spring.  We would take them on a walk or swing in the back yard and he would have a serious frown on his face the whole time, all while Lynnie was loving it!  I think he's probably given in by now and realized that our family is an outdoors family and he's really starting to like it.  This picture was one morning when I opened the door to get some fresh air in the house and they both crawled over as fast as they could to peak their heads into the opening :)



Driving their cars!



Playing with the LeapFrog table.  They love this table but they don't share very well.  The other day I found Lynlee pulling Cambell down by hanging on to his waist until he tipped over.  Tonight Cambell rolled on top of her and laughed (while she was crying) because she couldn't move.  They really do love each other, but they seem to bug each other more than they get along at this point.  This past week I saw one of the first acts of affection between the two of them.... I was flipping through the TV channels and happened upon Barney.  They don't watch TV so they were fascinated.  They both sat very still and stared at the TV and Lynlee laid her head on Cambell's shoulder.  It was adorable :) 



Bottle time after their afternoon nap.



Our Mom thinks we're trouble!!!  What do you think?!  Team effort pulling all of the laundry out of the basket.



Why is it that kids always like to play with the weirdest things?  These two are fascinated by the bulb syringe we used this past winter to suck boogers out of their noses.  Gross, right?!  I found them this one morning taking turns sharing the bulb syringe.

Cambell and Lynlee - 6 months old

Lynlee - 6 months old



Nicknames: Lynnie, Lynnie Lu, Lynnie Bug, Lynners
Weight & Length: 16 lbs 8 oz (56%) and 27 1/2 inches (92%).  This is incredibly impressive if you consider the fact that Maya weighed 9 lbs 3 oz at birth and only weighed 16 lbs at this same appointment!
Hair: We did a treatment for cradle cap on her very bald head and that seemed to stimulate some hair growth.  She now has dark brown fuzz all over her head :)
Favorite food: Her bottles.  She dislikes breastfeeding, although I still make her do it occassionally (instead of just putting the pumped milk in her bottle).  We tried starting her on solid foods a little before 6 months old and she didn't like it at all.  Everything that went in, came back out.  I gave her a few breaks and now finally at 6 1/2 months she seems to "get" the eating thing a little more.  She's not a huge fan of the cereals, so I have been sticking with vegetables.  She's had green beans, peas and sweet potatoes so far.



Favorite toys: her stuffed monkey's tail (she sucks on it until it's sopping wet), playmat (specifically the penguin toy), the fish toy on her exersaucer
Favorite stuffed animal: stuffed monkey - the girls call her Sweetly
Bedtime: 6:30 - 7:00
Wake-up time: Between 6:00 and 7:00.  She still gets up once every night to eat, but always goes right back to sleep.  We also had a rough patch with her recently when she had a runny nose and couldn't breathe well while she slept.  She is a very light sleeper.
Naps: Finally!  We have a nap schedule!  1-2 hour nap around 8:30 - 9:00 and a 1-2 hour nap around 1:00 ish.  Every once in awhile, depending how long her 2nd nap is, she will still take a 3rd nap in the early evening for 30 minutes or so.
Favorite person: Mommy, Daddy and Maryn
Latest Accomplishment: Sitting up!  Eating solid foods in the high chair.  Rolling in both directions.


Likes: when Maryn makes her giggle, watching her sisters, sticking anything and everything in her mouth, sleeping with a swaddle (at first with just one arm swaddled and now we're down to just the body swaddled), having her back tickled
Dislikes: her car seat cover, having a dirty diaper
What gets said about Lynlee most often: how big and beautiful her eyes are, how alert she is and how much she looks like Makenna and her sisters
Interesting Tidbit: The twins still wake each other up when they sleep so Lynlee sleeps in our room in a pack n play.  She has a very small red birthmark on the top of her foot.




Cambell - 6 months old



Nicknames: Cammers, Tank, Tiger, Cammer Jammer
Weight & Length: 19 lbs 7 oz (82%) abd 28 1/4 inches (96%).  He's a solid kid who LOVES to eat :) 
Hair: He has light blonde hair and baby blue eyes... bluest eyes of any of my kids so far.  His hair is long enough that when it's wet we can spike it.. so cute :)
Favorite food: Anything and everything.  He LOVES to eat.... and it shows!  He likes to nurse, loves his bottle, enjoys cereal, and all of his veggies and fruits.  He seriously eats until his stomach is so full that he throws some of it up.  We're trying to curtail that but it's hard when he acts like he's starving all the time!
Favorite toys: balls (specifically the neon orange one), anything with wheels on it.  You can set him in a room full of toys and he will purposely crawl over to the ball or car/truck.  Amazing how boys are just naturally drawn to that stuff.
Favorite stuffed animal: Probably Maryn's puppy!  Although he was quite fond of a pink monkey for awhile there!



Bedtime: 6:30 - 7:00
Wake-up time: Between 6:00 and 7:00.  Just in the last few weeks he has started sleeping through the night!  He was soaking through his diaper every night and that was waking him up.  I think we finally solved that problem (fingers crossed!) so now he's been sleeping all the way through.  He is a very deep sleeper.
Naps: Finally! We have a nap schedule! 1-2 hour nap around 8:30 - 9:00 and a 1-2 hour nap around 1:00 ish. Every once in awhile, depending how long his 2nd nap is, he will still take a 3rd nap in the early evening for 30 minutes or so.



Favorite person: Daddy, Mommy and Mykaela
Latest Accomplishment: Eating solid foods in the high chair.  Scooting and army crawling every where (I'm amazed at the speed in which he can army crawl).  Stand up holding on to an object.



Likes: sticking anything and everything in his mouth, sucking on the string of the hooded sweatshirt of whoever is holding him, exploring the house, "wrestling" with Daddy, his pacifier, being rocked to sleep
Dislikes: waking up wet at night, getting changed in the middle of the night, being hungry, having his nose wiped
What gets said about Cambell most often: what a big guy he is, how smiley he is (reminds me of Maya... he smiles so easily), and that he looks like Josh
Interesting Tidbit:  He is starting to show signs of eczema on his little bum :(  I'm really sad for him... I think he has the softest skin of any baby I've ever held.  It makes it hard to stop kissing his cheeks :)
 
 Love these two!


 
 I think this picture pretty much sums up their relationship :)
