Food, Glorious Food!!

First taste of green beans!!

Brother had to try feeding her too!

Sweet potatoes were next!!

Camden is growing like a weed and is now eating big-girl food!! We went to her 4-month well check on Monday and she got another round of shots...no fun, it still breaks my heart each time even though I know she won't remember it! Camden now weighs 14 lbs, 9 oz (75%), is 23.5" long (25%) and her head is 44 cm around (95%)! So...she is short and chubby with a big head!! We just love her SO much!! She is a really good baby and her disposition is SO sweet! She is one of the smiliest babies I have ever seen! She now has 2 teeth peeking through her bottom gum and overall she hasn't been bothered much by teething!

Given the GO by the Dr. on Monday, we started her on rice cereal and veggies. We did green beans first and she did okay...she loves to put her hands in her mouth in between bites and she gets to smiling so much that a lot of the food doesn't stay in her mouth...but she is getting the hang of it! After 3 days of green beans we moved on to sweet potatoes...she LOVED them!!

Unfortunately, Camden has been sick for a few weeks now. She is really congested and the drainage seems to really be upsetting her stomach as well. There really isn't much we can do for her since she is so young...so we use a humidifier in her room at night and we have to do "steam baths" often as well to break up the crud in her chest. We feel so bad for her but it only seems to bother her a little...like I said before, she has the best disposition!!!

Carson is doing great as well...he is learning so much these days! It amazes us the things he remembers! He is also doing a lot better about social things...like going to the nursery at church. He always cried when we would leave him, but now he has made some friends and he does great! We are so relieved because he will start 2 year old pre K in the Fall and we don't want it to be hard for him to adjust!! He is also really great with Camden...he likes to check on her if I am busy doing something and he always tells me if she is crying...sometimes he actually hears her before I do!! He really is a great big brother!
