Camden can move now!

Camden first crawled last week, but has really taken off the last few days, and nothing is safe now that Camden's on the move. That includes Mykenzi's toys...and Mykenzi for that matter. He's got this new skill down, but down he still goes on occasion, and he lets out a big squeal to inform us all how frustrated that makes him. His father believes he's already packing a little bit of his sister's attitude....lucky me I say, 3 hot tempered people to live with, because you know I never have an attitude! The good news though is that when he does splay out on his tummy, arching his back with his arms and legs flying in the air, he squeals, but gets right back up again and continues on his mission to destroy his sister's toys, which for now just includes eating them, thereby driving her crazy and illuminating his face with the biggest, most handsome smile ever! When he's not crawling or climbing his way to trouble, he's getting into trouble in his walker. Just this morning he grabbed Mykenzi's toys off her little table, causing quite a racket when all the toys went spilling onto the floor. This only angered him because he wanted those toys that he was then staring at on the floor, but instead he just got caught and everything was taken away. He also found some fun in the empty dishwasher between loads. He wedged his walker just right so that he could reach in and grab a rack, getting his hands all wet and rubbing them on his walker tray. Earlier while Mykenzi was decorating Christmas cookies and I had a chair pulled away from the table, he took his walker under the table and tormented her by grabbing her feet and legs. Anything to annoy her seems to be funny now. Needless to say, we're entering a new stage in our family now that Camden is mobile!
