I'm Enchanted

I'm enchanted with Camden!! He's eight weeks old today and he is starting to be so much fun!

I mean, he was fun before, but mostly because he's ours. He was really more like a human slug before (you know, very floppy and droopy in your arms), but now he has just about graduated to the tree frog stage. He clasps onto me when I hold him now and he holds his head up pretty well. He'll wrap his arm around mine and grasp my shirt, or, if I'm unlucky, he'll grab onto my underarm flab (er, I mean, relaxed muscle!) in a rather firm pinch.

Camden has just started doing all sorts of fun things. He coos a lot and squeals in a delighted fashion. He smiles! He interacts so much more and makes even cuter faces than before - which I didn't even imagine possible!

Oh, and I finally started giving him floor time last Sunday (which I probably should have started before, but he used to start crying as soon as you laid him down). Anyway, I gave him floor time and he rolled over from his belly to his back! I was so surprised. So here's a blurry picture of his first success (and first attempt!).... .

Yes, he was kind of angry.

This is his adorable sad face as he is winding up his crying (or just getting started again). Although he does look more like a monkey here....

Here he is chillin' in the bathtub. Dan felt that we needed to preserve his modesty and this item was handy. Camden has decided that baths aren't so bad. Until we get to the rinsing and drying off part - he still thinks that part is rather miserable.

Dan is so great! Even though Camden is usually crying when he gets home from work, Dan immediately comes in and takes him. Dan has some really amazing soothing techniques too.
