mum...

Camden has a few sounds in his vocabulary...one of which is ma...or mum...and at not quite five months i know he has no idea what it is he is saying...but i answer to it like he does...and have claimed it as his first word...just to make daddy a little jealous....but he only finds this word when tired or on the verge of crying...he gets this sad little voice and cry's out mama or mum and it just happens to be the cutest thing in the whole world and my heart melts each and every time i hear those little words in his tiniest of voices and i dream that he knows exactly what he is saying...he is asking for his momma...and i come running every time.

you know when camden is ready for bed when the m's start coming and the groans quickly follow...and he will last like that for quite a while until finally after rocking and singing and soothing he will turn his little head into my neck and curl up around my arm and you can feel his little body give way to the dreams that have waited for him all day....and i love this moment...when he is his most cuddly self and fast asleep....and i can't help but stay a few more moments to soak it all in before i lay his baby body down....

we have dared to venture outside this week...with the eighty degree weather calling out to us...it's been lovely...and mommy found a way to keep baby occupied while tending to her garden...

the oh so clever jumper....

although still a little too big for jumping...he likes to look at all of his new toys...

so mommy got to play outside too...

we planted this garden in april...silly little me thought that maybe we had seen our last snow day...i was so very wrong...but to my surprise...everything is doing just great...

little man has found his feet over the course of the last few weeks...and he loves those piggies...i think they might be sugar coated or something of that nature because it's pretty much all that he wants to do these days...

eat his piggies and play airplane with mommy....he is really good at it...

this week we have started rice cereal....and i don't think i am overstepping when i say he absolutely adored it...after each anticipated bite he would wiggle up and down and hum...i am going to say that means he wanted more...because i kept feeding and he kept opening that gummy little mouth of his....

he even tried to eat it off of his bib....
