So proud to be his mommy

So, it is officially September 1. Camden will be 1 year old in 2 weeks. Where on EARTH has the time gone? I vividly remember the night before and day he was born. Such a long process but completely worth it in the end. How amazing it was to bring a life into this world. So, a little about Camden.....

He has his momma's attitude.
He looks like his daddy.
He absolutely LOVES baseball.
He would literally play outside all day long.
He started walking early (for a boy) 2 days before he was 10 months!
He always has a mohawk.
He says so many words now "momma, dada, bye-bye, hi, nana, no sir, bruiser, ball, go, stop, no no, diaper, bath and dog" (can you tell we get onto him a lot by his choice of words he picked up on? lol)
He calls every dog either "dog dog" or "bruiser". Bruiser is his Granny's chihuahua!
He loves grilled cheese, chicken nuggets, and basically any kind of cut up fruit.
He loves to make a mess and watch momma and dada clean it up.
He has a ball at his Nana's house that he is obsessed with and that's the first thing he looks for and says when we get to her house every morning.
He is practically running now and it's so funny to watch.
He is a giggle box and laughs just to try and make you laugh.
He still fake coughs for attention and then he laughs at you when you look at him.
He loves to look at books, magazines and disperse the mail all throughout the house.
He loves to play "basketball" with a ball and mommy's laundry basket.
He is obsessed with the tv remote. I find it everywhere....in the bowls in the cabinets, in his booster seat, in my laundry basket when i'm folding laundry, in the bathroom. We go on a treasure hunt any time we want to watch TV.
He is such a 'texture' person like his mommy when it comes to food. He will not eat spaghetti...i guess he doesn't like the way it feels in his hands.

Camden brings such joy to our lives. It's hard to imagine how we ever made it through life without that little monster. We don't know what to do with ourselves when he stays overnight somewhere....it just gets too quiet around the house and we spend all of our time missing the little man. It's hard to comprehend the love that you feel for your child- that someone 2ft tall and a little over 20lbs can completely steal your heart and forever change your life.

We are really looking forward to his birthday party. We are doing a baseball theme, of course. I have just about everything bought except for food and the stuff to fill the goody bags. The menu for the party consists of hot dogs, chips and of course your ball park favorites, peanuts and cracker jacks, along with baseball cupcakes and ice cream. Everyone is dressing up in their favorite baseball team ensemble! We are going to have such a fun time at the park celebrating our little mans very first birthday- I just hope it isn't too hot!
