Beauty & the Beast



Our babysitter, Danielle, invited us to a pancake breakfast recently. Her high school was putting on the play Beauty and the Beast and they were having a character breakfast. At first, Camden was shy. I think he was overwhelmed by the amount of people in costume and activity. He did finally warm up to the whole experience. In the end, his favorite thing was a balloon!

Thanks, Danielle, for inviting us to your breakfast. We all enjoyed it!

Samson



Meet Samson. He lives in a pasture right next to our neighborhood. We visit him often.
Camden loves horses, and Samson loves Camden. There are two other horses in the pasture, but Samson is the one that always walks over to see Camden.
If I don't take Cam out of the stroller, Samson leans right in and gives him a nuzzle and a snort.
After we get done visiting Samson and jogging, Cam likes to push the stroller around.
He also picks up the paper for me from the driveway.

Now if I could just get Camden to push me in the stroller! I guess that wouldn't be very good exercise for me though. Ha!

Random Pics



We went to watch Daddy play in a scrimmage game for his baseball league and Camden decided to sit in this chair. Please note, this is not OUR chair, and we did not know the people it belonged to. Didn't stop him!
Cam got this ball from the Easter Bunny.
He's very excited about playing with his music table.
If we leave the gate open he likes to climb in there and try to close it.
I guess this is his time out.
My Dad, cousin, & uncle joined us for a night of Tonk recently. We sure had a lot of fun!
Brad & the Boogie were there too.
Ravioli is still Cam's favorite meal.

Easter



We were on our way home from the Bahamas on Easter Sunday, but Camden enjoyed egg hunt with Nana & her little dog Bo.

Happy Birthday Nana



Nana's birthday was a couple of weeks ago. We celebrated with lunch at Rosie's. YUM! FYI, that was her pick, not mine. Cam and I just happen to love Rosie's also. We had to get a balloon on the way in.
He is looking at the balloon. Daddy is holding it so I can get a picture.
Now he wants the balloon back. Naturally.
Check out his cute outfit! This is another one I made with Susan's help. I love it!
What a cutie pie!
He had to get another balloon on the way out. You know, one for each hand!
Then he started running in circles. This kid has so much energy!


Then he decided to run in circles around Nana. It always cracks me up when people say I don't have a Southern accent, cause I think I still do, and you can definitely hear it in this video.
We had a great birthday lunch with Nana. Happy Birthday!

Puddles!



Camden discovered puddles. I guess it was only a matter of time, but I had no idea how fun it would be! This is a video of him playing in his very first puddle! It was in the parking lot of Rosie's - that's why he has balloons.
The next day we went in search of puddles in our neighborhood. This is a small puddle across the street.
Just to be clear, this lush, beautiful green grass is NOT my yard. My yard is lovely shade of brown and filled with dandelions and clover.
See the cozy coupe car across that street? That's our yard. Gorgeous, right?

Camden's hair is soaking wet because he was doing headstands in a bigger puddle down the street. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera handy for that puddle, but trust me when I tell you it was hilarious!
Jumping in puddles takes a lot of concentration!
I finally went & got my camera so I could film a video. This was after he had played in the puddle for quite a while, so he was kind of winding down. He does do a headstand right at the beginning. Sorry it's sideways.
Earlier he had a bib on and it kept floating in his face when he would lean down so he ripped it off. I'm embarrassed to say he did "taste" the puddle. Yuck. I figure a little dirt won't hurt him,though. It's good for the immune system, right?
This is my favorite thing this week so I'm linking up to Hillary's Friday Favorites.

Condiment King



Dad & I were having a nice conversation over lunch recently while Camden ate his kid's meal and watched Elmo. Dad was really impressed with how Camden was dipping his chicken tenders in ranch dressing. Then I glanced over and noticed this:
"What do you mean I can't eat Ranch dressing with a spoon?"
No, this is not an isolated incident. He will double, triple, quadruple dip until his french fry or chip or whatever is too soggy to dip again. Then he will set it aside - instead of eating it- for a fresh fry, chip, etc. Today at lunch he tried to eat salsa with a fork.
I admit it, he comes by his condiments honestly. I am the condiment queen.
