One Month (two weeks late)!

I have been very busy enjoying every last minute of maternity leave before I have to return to school tomorrow - I am not looking forward to it, but at least I just have 11 school days before Thanksgiving break! We had our one month check up and Camden weighed in at 10 pounds! It makes me so happy to know that he is growing so big and that he has remained healthy! He also had his second hepatitis B shot, and he barely cried - he's such a tough little guy! My parents came to visit a few weeks ago and we visited a pumpkin patch while they were here to take a few pictures. Fall is my favorite season, and since Camden is a fall baby, we just had to get a few pictures of him enjoying this weather! By the way, babies love the fresh air, and it is just fine to have them outside!
I just love cuddling with this little guy! The expression on his face is priceless!

More cuddling with Mommy - I can't get enough!

Posing with his very own little pumpkin that Grammy picked up at the hardware store.

My little pumpkin with all of the little pumpkins!

This is his new bouncer that my mom found for him - this one vibrates, so we like it much more than the girly pink one that does not vibrate. Plus, we can plug in our iphones and ipod to play music for him, if we want.

Wrapped up in his blanket before getting weighed at the pediatrician's office.

Fussing at his one month photo shoot, because I tried to do this before feeding him. Big mistake!

One of the few good shots we were able to get before this happened:

Maybe we will get better about this before two month pictures!

Camden also had his first big boy bath, and he loved it! He only cried when we put him on the towel to dry off before getting dressed - he does not like to wait to get dressed when his bath is over!

He has also spent a lot of time in the sling! Camden has gone on two shopping trips and a few walks in his wrap. I love getting to have him so close to me, and it keeps both of us warm. :)

Camden also went with us to his first Halloween party, and he met our small group. Neal and I went as characters from the TV show Mad Men, and he wore his pumpkin outfit. He was a little bit fussy, but he did spend some time sleeping.
He even took a nap on our friend Kylie - I think she loved it even more than he did!
I got some much needed girl time with the wives from small group. It was great to catch up with everyone!
Camden even did the claw to cheer for the Rangers - even though they lost the World Series, he's still a fan! I have taken a few outings out of the house on my own while Neal stayed home with our little guy and gave him a bottle. Camden did very well, even though, he still needs some practice, and he still wanted me when I came home. Tomorrow, I will go back to school, and Neal will be home with him and in charge of at least 3 (maybe 4) bottles during the day while I am at school. Pray that Neal has patience and success tomorrow! I'm praying that the day goes by very quickly, so I can get home to my favorite guys!
