10 Month Update and Cape Cod

Camden is now 10 months old! It is amazing how fast his first year is flying by! He is at such a fun age right now and makes us laugh all the time. Here are some of the things he's been up to recently:

- He can clap, wave and respond to "How big is Camden...sooooo big!" on command!
- If he hears clapping on a CD or on the television he joins right in!
- He dances when he hears music which is pretty darn adorable!
- He is walking all over the place, but still doesn't quite realize that if something is on the floor in front of him he needs to walk around it so we are still following him pretty closely.
- Still no crawling, but we're continuing to put him on his belly to see what happens.
- He is eating like a madman - he must be on a constant growth spurt! He now feeds himself organic cheerios and little sweet potato puffs, LOVES avacado and strawberries, and is eating lots of yogurt little cubed veggies as well as his regular pureed baby fruits and vegetables.
- He usually takes about a 90 minute nap in both the morning and afternoon (which is awesome) but is still a horrible sleeper at night! Ugh - he only sleeps about two hours at a time and that's when his teeth aren't killing him (which they usually seem to be these days).
- He still only has his bottom two teeth. We are waiting on others to pop through. It seems like he's been in a lot of pain recently, so we're hoping to see some teeth soon!
- He is a little social butterfly and loves to stop and "talk" to people wherever we are. He seems to brighten everyone's day.
- He is by far the most active little guy I've ever seen. He doesn't stop walking around, never sits still, doesn't like to sit on the floor and play by himself - he wants to be on the move at all times! My parents refer to him as "Mr. Busy" and the name has certainly stuck - it's very accurate!

Overall, we have found parenthood to be incredible, rewarding, exhausting and wonderful! I'm excited to see all he learns over the next few months of summer!

We just returned from a few days on Cape Cod visiting my grandparents! We had a blast and Camden just loved exploring the ocean! Here are some of my favorite pictures of our trip!
