Ok... so I'm am completely slack. I realize it has almost been a MONTH since I have written a thing.. I am so bad! Well.. I suppose I should update all the happenings in the boys worlds.
Camp is great! He was mister "NO NAP!" today though. I can't believe in a couple weeks' time he'll be 20 months old. SOOOOO unreal. He broke 2 more teeth this week. And, when he went in for his 19 month check-up, he also had an ear infection. His doc said that his tubes had also fallen out. Poor kiddo. I hope this doesn't mean another long winter of massive ear infections - he needs a break already. But - he's been just a great boy lately. Tonight, after he finished his dinner of chicken & rice, green beans and cucumber (a new item he's discovered he likes) - he was saying "Nite nite din", ( goodnight dinner), Nite dogs, and then, totally unprompted - he walks into the den and says "Nite Mawnmower" KILLLLLLS me! I just laughed and laughed. He absolutely loves his lawnmower, and any motorcycle that comes through the neighborhood - and water hoses. :) What a sweetheart. He's also been much more interactive with Andy - bringing him all sorts of toys to play with. I think it makes a difference that Andy can sit up totally on his own and thinks that Camp is hilarious. Camp goes over and gives him a huge hug and a kiss - and of course, my heart gets bigger with love for them both at every moment. Oh - and Camp was 32 inches tall and weighed 28.4 pounds at his checkup.
Andy is also doing very well. As previously mentioned - he is sitting up beautifully! He is eating level 3 foods and occassionally, I'll sneak in a bit of a Cheerio or a Veggie Puff for him to munch on for a while. He doesn't seem to mind all that much. He was HUGE at his 7 months! He now weighs 23 pounds. This is a big boy - but so completely happy. He loves to laugh. Tonight, while he was eating dinner, I was singing and he was swaying right along, just laughing and smiling. He's a great baby. Very easy-going nature. And he has the best smile in the universe. He's also getting better about keeping his legs stiffer when we stand him up. Oh - and if he's excited about something he sees - he bobs up and down frantically. And - he's making a ton of noises. Still nothing like dada or mama - but the raspberries, the coos, the screecehs - all of it - music to my soul. Right now - I'm listening to Camp and Andy play in the bathtub - and Andy is just laughing at something Camp is doing. I can't wait until they are able to play together.
I'm really also excited about moving. As much as I'm going to love this big house, I'm actually really excited about the move. I dunno.. I know the boys are going to absolutely love the fenced in yard - but so many things are going to have to change - and it's scary, I admit - but at the same time.. I've been in the same space for so long - that maybe a little shaking up is exactly what I need in my life. Anyway - we close on the 27th of July - so I've got a ton of packing to get done. I'll post pics soon.
