Teeth, Shopping, ER's and More!

What a week it has been! Camden is now on his way to having two front teeth (on the bottom of course). He cut the first one Monday night/Tuesday morning and the second one Wednesday night/Thursday morning. They are still trying to come in, but I think (or shall I say hope) we've made it through the worst of this teething go round. Until next time . . .


Mom and Dad came in town this weekend (thanks M&D!). What a great weekend (for the most part). I LOVED having my mother here to help me Christmas shop. It is such a treat to have an extra set of hands to manage Camden, the buggy and the gifts. More importantly, it is just a treat to simply shop with my mother. We don't get to do that enough! Camden was a bundle of fun this weekend and put on lots of shows for his Mama and Papa. He is changing so fast right now; it seems every day is something new. This evenings new trick was Camden's discovery that he could go forward from a sitting position to his knees. With the exception of the face plant that resulted every time he did so, he seemed to like this new move. Perhaps someone is working toward a crawl. We'll see.

So, that is the good stuff. Now to the not so great part of our weekend. My darling husband innocently went to a movie with my father on Saturday and shortly thereafter had an allergic reaction to something. Our day of Christmas cheer quickly turned into a trip to the ER (where I can assure you there was no Christmas cheer). After an ivy, lots of meds and some hours later, we were on our way home. What a blessing we got to the hospital when we did and what a blessing my parents were in town to help with Camden (definitely didn't want to take him to the ER). Now we just have to figure out what the culprit was. Billy is feeling better and back to his sweet ol' self now . . . whew!

Well, I must go and prepare the bottles, diaper bag, etc. for tomorrow. I hope you all have a wonderful week. Thanks for checking in; we love hearing from you more than you know! And to Mom and Dad - thanks so much for making the trip. We so love having you visit!

I'm awful about checking this blog! Sorry. What an eventful weekend!
Sorry to hear about Billy's reaction....YIKES!

Let us know if you guys need anything.

We need to see Camden soon; I'm sure he's gotten so big since our last visit.

Love you!
