Wow...it's already been another month?! (this was actually posted march 5, not feb 25)

Seriously...where does time go? My sweet Camp is 9 weeks old! He has grown so much and is taking in everything he sees! He has also started smiling more and more! He loves when I kiss him right on the mouth...that's when I get the biggest smiles! Or when he's playing on his foor gym!

Austin has just taken off with this vocabulary...I used to try to keep things written down that he says, but he says so many new things everyday that I can't keep up! Plus he understands almost everything we say...it is truly amazing to watch him grow and develop...it helps us appreciate the wonder and excitement of the small things he discovers and learns! Austin also keeps us in stitches. He has become very aware of how I feed Campbell (as shown in previous post!), and now he is aware of the pump. Today he came to me with a bath pillow, holding the suction cup on his stomach saying, "pump pump!"

Here are some pics from the last few weeks...

can you imagine the ab workout we'd get if our legs were constanly suspended in air and kicking?!

Austin and Camp's first bath together

my big strong boy...at five weeks pushing up! he had been pushing up with his arms all the way straight, but I guess he was getting tired by the time I got the camera

Austin has moved to a big bed, but we haven't taken this crib down yet. This is how I found him one day when I heard, "Uh Oh Mommy! Mommy, UH OH!!" (yes, I ran to get the camera before getting him! he actually started laughing when he saw me laughing)

"nursing" his bear

the kid loves his hats! he likes to wear them b/c his daddy and "JuJu" (Jordan) wear them

Camp is full of smiles for his mommy



brotherly love
fun in the snow

Our Week

First of all I want to congratulate our sweet friends, the Jonases, on the birth of their baby boy, Haynes, born on Tuesday! He and Camp are exactly 5 weeks apart. What a cutie he is! He has lots of dark hair just like his big sis Mallory! I have a pic of us at the hospital with them, but I'll wait to post it until after they get pictures up.

Second of all I have to say that I love my family! Andy and I say that to each other at least once a day! We think our two little boys are just so cute! Austin makes us laugh all the time and is becoming the biggest helper as well as the sweetest big brother. Campbell has started smiling this week...they have been few and far between, but just as precious as can be when we catch one. Here's a few pictures from this week...


Camp with his new lovey...and his quickly receeding hairline (you're lucky, Haynes!)


Austin sporting his 3-D glasses you had to wear for some of the super bowl commercials...he wore them all night and the whole next day!


Austin "hiding" from me when I needed to change his poopy diaper! You may have to look closely to see him! My sister Heidi said, "he probably had his eyes closed, too"...you know he did!


Austin after making my bed by himself :)


Pizza and TV night with just Austin while Campbell was in bed! He loved it!

Eat CoCo!


Yesterday Austin climbed up into the chair in Campbell's room and put the Boppy nursing pillow on his lap and told me he wanted to feed Campbell. Actually, he lifted up his shirt and said, "Eat CoCo!" I thought this would be a good idea to get some pics of them together since I haven't been successful at getting very many. I thought Austin would forget why he wanted Campbell in his lap and let me get some good shots....wrong! In every picture he has his shirt lifted, pointing to his chest saying, "Eat CoCo!" I hope to goodness other toddlers do this when they have baby siblings they watch nurse day in and day out!
