Good Intentions

So I've had really, really great intentions about writing a post a few different times this week. There was the post I was going to write about Camden's ridiculously severe stranger anxiety (and I'll probably get to that eventually). And then there was the post that I was definitely going to write about how Camden pretty much took most of his 9th month off in the development department (I think he decided to just cruise through that month perfecting old skills instead of working on new ones). But then his 10th month hit & BAM! He became a toddler. Okay, so not totally a toddler, but he added "mamama", "dadada", "bababa" and what sounds an awful lot like "byebyebye" to his previously non-existent vocabulary. And then he started to wave. And stand on his own for a few seconds at a time. And-- wait for it-- take a clumsy step or two towards me before collapsing and grinning with pride. (Okay, so maybe I did just write that post after all.)

But this week has been insanely busy and time just got away from me. My good intentions never produced actual posts. Let's just say I was a tad overwhelmed with school work, field study observations in my friend's classroom, dealing with a child who decided he was going to take a week off from being an awesome napper and return to his catnapping ways, and (the best part of all) PACKING FOR THE BEACH!

That's right. We are hittin' the road and heading to the Outer Banks for an entire week. This will be Camden's first beach trip and I can't wait to see what he thinks of the ocean and the sand and spending a week in a big, fun beach house with his parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousins and even one great-grandparent.

Stay tuned for plenty of pictures.

Wow... that time of the year already. I remember this time last year when you were so excited to meet Camden and here he is so adorable in his little gym shorts. Hope you have a blast! Can't wait for pictures!

Too bad he's quiet around us (I know, stranger anxiety). I want to hear him talk. I second what Courtney says...Can't wait to see beach pictures. So take lots of them.

This week has been insanely busy! I'm proud of both of us for churning out at least one post. :)
Can't wait for the beach and can't wait to take and see pictures!
