Good thing I happened to look down while feeding Kellan. I looked in his sticky left hand and found my earring! I didn't even feel him pull it out! I wonder what else he's taking while we're not looking...
So there may be one good thing about being the 2nd boy. Picture day came and went at school and we actually knew about it and were prepared! We dressed him nicely and combed his hair wisps. Now the only thing left to do is see how they turned out! Poor Camden was always wearing a girl colored onesie, no pants and a boogery face every picture day. Kellan - this is one of your few perks. Take advantage of it.
Daddy opened the blinds to the backyard and Camden started yelling OOO! OOO! Nick looked outside and there was a huge scorpion! I mean huge. So of course Nick puts it in a plastic bag and brings it in the house. I mean that's the logical thing to do.
Camden freaked me out the other night. He woke up a couple of times whimpering so I went and checked on him. He started shaking and I went hysterical. It wasn't like violent shaking or anything, but I've never seen Camden do that. I immediately called Dr. Schaffer while Nick googled Camden's symptoms. The Dr. (and google) said that it probably meant Camden was going to come down with something or spike a fever. We had just had Camden's follow up X-Ray's done from his pneumonia, and it turns out the pneumonia is not totally gone. It does look better, but it's not totally gone. :( So thank God Nana is here. She took him to the doctor today (and cleaned and did laundry) while we both worked. Dr. said Camden sounded good and his oxygen level is good so we'll keep an eye on him. As always we still appreciate the prayers. While at the doctor Nana called me and put Camden on the phone. He said "dada?" I said no Camden it's Momma. I could hear him drop the phone and clear as day say I want Dada!
Thursday morning as I was leaving for work, Camden waved bye from Nana's lap for about 5 minutes before I even left. I think someone was anxious to have the day with Nana.
I had to work pretty late all week, so Nick was so sweet and brought me dinner. I was eating a burrito and holding Camden on my lap. Camden was eating my burrito too. He took a big bite of guacamole. Just as Nick said- Camden I didn't know you liked guacamole, Camden spit it out right in the middle of the burrito. I got kind of grossed out, shrugged my shoulders, and ate the rest of the burrito.
This morning Camden pulled a used Q tip out of the trash. He put it right in his ear. I was so impressed that he knew what to do with a Q tip that I forgot that it was a used one. I grabbed it from him and threw it in the trash. Camden threw an absolute fit! I bent down to hug him and he turned his little shoulders and ran away from me. Aw! Our first fight!
