Tickle Time

A Love for Reading

We love reading around here and Camden is being taught that early on. :)

5 MOnThS oLD

Our little guy hit 5 months at the beginning of February. And man is he cute! He gets more and more fun all the time. He has gotten so playful. And he is learning new things each day. He's got quite the cheering squad whenever he does anything new. :)

HERE IS WHAT 5 MONTHS HELD FOR CAMDEN:

Tummy Time! This is how he ends up now that he rolls over.

 Camden thinks Hadley is so funny. She gets him to laugh more than anyone else.

(He's laughing at her as I write this.)

Introducing Food- this picture sums up how he felt about rice cereal in the beginning. He has since decided he likes it. :)

He LOVES his feet and toes, especially in the bath.

Cam got to go swimming for the first time at a hotel. (As you can tell, he was super excited!) 

More tummy time.

 Play time!

CassieAnn's Shower

Travis's little sister (well, not so little anymore) is getting married very soon... in one week to be exact. We are so excited for her!!! She got herself a good one and we are looking forward to having Alex in our family. The Pincock chicas all worked together to throw her a bridal shower. I was in charge of the decorations for the shower. I went with her wedding colors (red and light blue). I had an idea of what I wanted to do, so after putting Google to work, this is what I ended up with. I think they turned out cute and I'm glad we could help her and Alex get started.

 THE DECORATIONS...

THE CUTE BRIDE-TO-BE...

AND, OF COURSE, THE SHOWER....

THE HAUL...

Family Pictures

I realized that I hadn't posted our family pictures that we had taken in... October. But, in my defense, we didn't receive the pictures until Thanksgiving and then the holidays hit.

We needed to get new family pictures with our new little man in them. So, it was either October or wait until spring. I think they turned out pretty good. I mean, I wouldn't prefer to get pictures taken 7 weeks after having a baby, but oh well. I don't like getting pictures taken of myself postpartum or not. 

Hadley got nervous and wasn't super cooperative (though you wouldn't be able to tell from the pictures). Camden was so curious to be outside, so we only got one smile out of him. I love his little grumpy infant look. At least Makenna is finally at an age that she likes being in front of the camera. The weather was so perfect, which is always a good thing with little kids. So, I'm glad we got them done and now that they are posted on our blog,  I should probably get them hung on my wall. :)

Camden- 4 Months!

{Note: This is a catch up post, so he is actually doing more now. He will be 5 months next week, so you'll have to wait until then. :) }
Our little guy is getting big! At his 4 month appointment he weighed in at 15 pounds and 25 inches. 50th percentile- a.k.a perfectly average. He is learning new things and has gotten so fun. We sure love this sweet boy! He really is the best baby. Seriously. So good. And man, am I grateful! I feel like we are definitely adjusted to having a baby, but it still has its challenges. But luck for us, Camden just goes with the flow. 


Here are some things about Camden at 4 months:

• He is so much more alert and playful. 
• And he has started playing with toys! 
• He is not the biggest fan of his stomach. 
• He loved the Christmas tree and lights. 
• He even enjoyed the crumpled wrapping paper. 
• He is sleeping through the night a lot of the time now. 
• He still loves to talk and laugh. 
• He really is such a happy baby- probably because he is loved SO much. 
• He is loving his feet, especially if he can get them in his mouth.
• He loves bath time.
• He loves being held and cuddled.

I love that he is asleep holding onto his toy.

Love this outfit and amazing quilt!

Don't you just want to kiss those cheeks and chubby arms?

PLAYING!

I love this picture. His sisters are giving him lots of love and he's looking at me like,"Help me out a little bit here." 

Playing with Daddy!

New Year...

Well, I haven't posted anything all month. That is a pretty good indication of our life lately. Busy, busy, busy. Usually I think January and February are the slowest months but apparently not for 2012. What have I been busy with you ask? How about...          
having a little baby, a three-year old, a first-grader, busy church callings, helping out at Makenna's school, putting our lives back together after the holidays, going on a short trip, Travis' busy work schedule, trying to lose this baby weight (trying being the operative word), a bridal shower, planning for Travis' sister's wedding in a few weeks, and just trying to keep up with all the daily tasks. I guess being busy is a good thing? But, I am not going to lie- I am ready for things to slow down.  


My New Year's goal for our blog this year is to do more journaling and thoughts. I LOVE pictures and that is the main purpose of our blog, but I need to spice things up a little. I write this blog to journal our family's happenings and print them into a hard-bound book each year. I am ready to print my third volume! {Whoa! Have I really been blogging for over 3 years?} But, I do like to have people read it too! Is anyone out there? My comments have dwindled down to nothing and I'm not sure anyone still reads this. But, oh well. I'm still going strong.


Here to...  2012
