Little Things

Adam and I had a date night at the local Wal Mart. We browsed through baby gear and CD's. We had a blast! Adam ended up finding CD's from his favorite country groups for $5 or less. He asked me why they were so cheap.....he thought they might have been used. I just think people don't have an appreciation for classic country music anymore and they were just priced to sell! :) We walked out of there with probably eight new CD's. Last night we were in the kitchen singing, dancing, and enjoying the new tunes. Camp LOVED it.

Adam and I LOVED it too!

It's the little things in life that mean so much!

Baby Boy

Enjoying the Exersaucer

Camp's loving his exersaucer more and more everyday. He's getting used to the way it works and he's enjoying all of the toys. His favorite is the rooster rolling toy. He rolls it around and around and just loves it! He jumps up and down in the exersaucer and then squeals. It's so cute!

Playground Fun

Danielle and Sophie came over today to enjoy the new playground. I love that we have this great little city park practically in our backyard.
The babies had a great time and enjoyed being outside. It was such a gorgeous day and it made me very excited for spring.

I Love A Naked Baby

There ain't nothin' sweeter than a naked baby! I let Camp play with only a diaper on and he looked so cute. When his little lip started quivering, I decided it was time to put some clothes on the poor boy. We've bundled him up so well since he's been born that I think he likes being nice and warm. We got a new rug for the living room and we've been playing on it everyday. I LOVE being able to put Camp down to play.


I recorded a quick video of him yesterday and then gave it to him to watch. You can see in this picture that he was quite interested in himself. He got real close to it and watched the whole thing. Bless his heart!



Beth-I'll post a video soon. It just takes so dang long to upload it to blogger. Check your email tomorrow for a special video message from your godson. :)

Look Ma, No Hands!

Camp started sitting up on his own about two days ago. (For about 5 seconds at a time) We practice every day and he stays up longer and longer. This is the milestone that I am most excited about! He'll be able to sit in high chairs at restaurants, ride in the shopping cart, and play with Sophie a lot easier. :) I'm hoping he has it mastered very soon!





Camp, Mama Byrd, and I went to Thomasville yesterday for Mama Byrd's birthday. We had a great lunch and stopped by to see Nina while we were in town. It had been a little over 2 months since she had seen him and boy was she surprised and excited to see us walking through the door! Nina thought that Camp looked like a one year old sitting in his stroller. I was able to get him to laugh a good bit and she thought it was the best thing ever.

Happy Camper

Camp has been so cute these past few days! I think he's just entering that fun baby stage. His little personality is starting to break through and I have to say, I really like it!

All of the lifting, bending, and baby carrying has caught up with me and I have hurt my back. Ughh...it's been no fun. Sweet Camp has been so nice and has been extra laid back. We spent most of the day in bed talking and playing and he took three great naps. Adam was home for some of the day working on a yard project so he was able to take Camp outside for a good bit. Adam enjoyed it just as much as I did. :)


Lollie found this adorable cup. Isn't it just perfect?
You get it, right?

Happy 5 Months!

ALL ABOUT CAMP - - 5 MONTHS

He's squealing and talking all of the time.

He loves This Little Piggy.

He loves going outside.

He'll arch his back in a feisty way when he doesn't want to do something. ( sometimes when getting in the car seat, Bumbo, high chair) I'm not writing this because I think it's cute.

If he sees something interesting, he'll turn his body in any direction to see it. Sometimes he'll turn his head upside down when being held!

He's waking up from most naps in a super mood! He'll talk to himself instead of cry!

He loves toys and little blankies.

He still loves holding fingers. If he's ever fussy in the car, I just put my hand back there and he'll play with it or hold on to my fingers.

He's an extremely laid back baby that goes with the flow! He takes great naps, sleeps great at night (we still have the occasional bad night) and is just a happy little fella!

We've noticed that he's starting to get in more of a crawling position when he's on his stomach. I know he's still far away from crawling, but it's just another step in the right direction!

I plan on starting rice cereal this month and start working our way to solids by 6 months. He's VERY interested in what we are eating. I've heard that's a tell tale sign that he's ready. I gave him a little sip of water the other day and he really liked it. I don't think we'll have any problems with the solid food transition!

I love this picture, but Beary was pushed too far to the side to be THE 5 month shot. He totally has Adam's eyes.

Oh my goodness.....look at those little feet crossed and that hand on his leg. He's such a little man!

The main reason that I do this blog is to use it as an online journal for me and Adam. We go back and read what Camp was doing each month or to look at pictures all of the time. I also go back to read about my pregnancy. It seems like it was just yesterday, but I really do forget all of the minor details. :) So humor me.

I Love Him

Look at that little foot. :)
I was looking through Adam's baby book the other day and he was doing this same thing with his foot while he was in his swing.

Finer Things Club

Adam and I have an obsession. We can't get enough of The Office. If you share in our obsession, you know about the Finer Things Club. While we were eating dinner on Thursday, Adam said that he wanted to wake up on Sunday and drink coffee out of our wedding china. In almost three years, we haven't used any of it. So we woke up this morning and did just that. We had our very own Finer Things Club. It was pretty fun! We really need to use it more often. It's so pretty. And it just sits in our china cabinet begging to be used.


Camp was hungry so he decided to take a bite out of his high chair tray.

FLIP is BACK!!

We finally got our Flip back! It was broken so I sent it back to the manufacturer and they fixed it! I'm so glad it's back. Camp has changed a lot since the last time we used it so hopefully the videos will be a little more entertaining. ;)

I filmed this last night and afterwards I realized that I probably should have had the overhead light on. Sorry it's so dark!

I Love This!

I think this is quite possibly the cutest girl I've ever seen. It's one of my favorite commercials right now. When it comes on, I stop what I'm doing and watch it. It amazes me that a 4 1/2 year old can do all of that on a computer.

Camp's New Toy

Camp bought an exersaucer with all of his Valentine's money. He's been wanting one for some time now. He's enjoying a new point of view and thinks he's a big boy now that he can stand up to play.

Date Night

Adam and I celebrated Valentine's Day last night and we didn't wait 90 minutes for a table....you should try it next year. :)
Lollie and Popsie came over to watch the Camper. We walked to one of our favorite restaurants and had a fantabulous meal! I started with that yummy drink pictured above. We had buffalo fried oysters for an appetizer and ended the meal with our very own desserts. We were going to share, but there was so much to choose from, that we each got our own. I got chocolate cake with my favorite unsweet whipped cream and Adam got a turtle truffle torte. They were both perfection. Mmmmm.....
After dinner we window shopped and then we walked back home! It was the perfect night.

Babysitter Lane

Camp and I had the privilege of watching precious Sophie yesterday. She is such a sweet girl! Camp seemed to be pretty smitten with her.
These kids are going to be the best of friends. They'll be forced to play together while their mothers sew and attempt the craft of the month.

Camp Loves His Daddy

And Daddy sure loves his Camper!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ocala "Birthday" Trip

We spent a lovely weekend in Ocala. Grandma met Camper for the first time and she also met her new dog, Nexy! We had such a fun time and Camp, as always, was the best baby ever.


4 generations

Camp enjoying Mama & Daddy's old couch. He's also wondering why we ever let that thing go! :)

Miley, Deacon, & Nexylicious having a ball!

Fred with a captive audience.

Cam Damper

Camp & Cap


And the best part of the whole weekend was this card.

It's a Valentine's card from Fred to me.

The first time I read it, I didn't see that it said "Happy Birthday", but once I noticed, we took that and ran with it.

Poor Fred.

I didn't care in the slightest, but it was fun making such a big joke out of it.

He also got me a gift certificate for an hour and a half massage!!!
Thanks, Freda!

Camp's First Valentine's Card

Camp got his first Valentine's Day card in the mail today from his grand-godmother, Donna. Enclosed was a gift card to his favorite store. We are both super excited about that! :)

Sweet Nothings

The Client

Camp and I have a new job. A dog walking job. And this is our client.

Camp enjoys the extra walks that go with this new job!

Happy Birthday Beth!

Don't you wish we were sitting on this bench right now?
About to go eat at Lady & Son's and shop at cute stores?
And about to participate in an awesome parade?

Me too!


Happy 25th!
