We Survived Our Last “Specialist” Appointment!
It’s been a while since we’ve updated, I guess you could say we’ve been busy figuring out an infant. Camden is 8 months old today! It’s hard to believe that he’s been in our lives for that long. It seems like just yesterday that we were caught in the whirlwind of his birth. He had his 8 month check-up with Dr. Sachs today and he weighed in at a whopping 14 lbs 8 oz and grew 2 inches! The Doc said that he’s looking good and growing well. He’ll even start to eat some table food now as well. We’re thinking that Camden is going to be Dakota’s new best friend with all the food that will most likely fall to the floor! :0)
Yesterday, we met with Dr. Rothenberg, the surgeon who performed the inguinal hernia surgery. He gave us great news and said that all is well “down there” and he won’t need to see us again. His belly button hernia is still there, but much smaller and he feels that it’ll close up in the next several months. That was our last specialist appointment and somehow we’ve survived them all with success! We’re lucky to have such a healthy baby!!!
Some of Camden’s new tricks include standing up. He loves to stand and will actually move his feet as if he’s walking (with help of course). We’re thinking he’ll skip right over crawling and get right to walking. In a hurry, just like his dad! He can almost sit up on his own as well. He’s a pretty strong little guy. He’s not rolling yet and hates to lie on his tummy. He’s been putting almost everything he can into his mouth lately and I’m guessing that some teeth will be coming into sight soon.
He’s definately a charmer and will smile at everyone and everything. I love that about him! His smiles brighten our every moment. He’s also becoming a good little traveler! We’re heading off to San Diego this week for a little vacation with our friends, The Pedews. Camden will get to put his feet in the sand (along with eating some of it I suppose) and do a little surfing in the Pacific. Should be a few Kodak Moments on this trip!
We hope you all are having a fun filled summer! Come on out to Colorado and see us!
