Finding his voice!

Campbell is beginning to learn how to smile and even find his voice. Everytime I get the camera out, he usually stops, but yesterday I got lucky! Enjoy the pics and videos!

Random Pics!

Just some random pics of my sweet baby! He is so much fun. He isn't doing much lately, so there aren't many exciting things to see. Enjoy anyway!

Just chillin' in the swing! (Thanks Beth for the lifesaver!)


All ready for the softball and baseball games! All too soon, he will be wearing uniforms and playing in those games. I will enjoy him just dressing up while I can!



Campbell's first day going to church. He looks so happy! He even slept until the last 30 minutes of church. Then he thought it was time to eat and have a clean diaper!

Trip to Utah

We found out recently that Chris's grandma in Utah has cancer and is quite sick. We have meant to get to Utah to visit. In fact, we had planned a trip prior to me finding out about my blood clot. The week we were supposed to go, I ended up in the hospital. Needless to say, when we found out she was sick, we waited for a warm weekend and headed to Utah. We stopped at Chris's work to show Campbell off to his co-workers and feed him. He slept until 15 minutes before we arrived at Grandma's! We had 2 great days visiting with Grandma. She has so many stories to tell, she also made sure to bear her testimony. She is such a strong woman and it is so fun to listen to her tell about her life!
Campbell was almost as good coming home. He needed to eat just past Burley. However, when we reached Mountain Home, he felt lonely in the backseat. We pulled over and I got in the backseat with him. As soon as he realized he wasn't alone, he stopped crying and was fine. Funny kid, he already knows what he wants!

First Walk

A couple weeks ago, back when it was warm, we took Campbell down to the walk by Dan's Ferry Service. We got him bundled in his carseat and stroller and away we went. Chris and I really enjoyed ourselves, Campbell slept through the whole thing! The walk goes through the hill and there are animals, decorations, and cute sayings. I was enjoying myself being with Chris and Campbell and once again, forgot to take many pics!



Our happy family before the walk!




Campbell sleeping through the whole thing! I am sure he absolutely enjoyed it. It was really his first time being outside in the fresh air!





The only other pic I took. There are beautiful peacocks roaming around before you start the walk. Right after I took this one, the peacock spread his feathers. (I missed it!)

Grandparents are the BEST!

I wanted a baby for so long and love Campbell so much! However, I am not the only one. Campbell is blessed to have many people who love him. Here are a few pics of him with his favorite people..... Grandma Cindy, Grandma Barb, and Grandpa Jeff!


All clean and cuddly after one of those famous baths! My mom stopped by on her lunch break and "saved" Campbell from me giving him a bath. As you can tell, he was grateful!


Grandma Barb has the "magic" touch and can get Campbell to sleep the whole time she holds him. As you can tell, he enjoys this too! Grandma Barb can't take her eyes off him!

Grandpa Jeff just sleeps right along with Campbell. It is becoming a Sunday ritual! Looks comfy!

First Tub Bath

Again, these were taken quite awhile ago. This was Campbell's first experience in a tub. He hated it just as much as all the other baths. I made sure the water was warm, certain body parts covered, and he was as comfortable as he could be. It just didn't cut it for him!







Do we really have to do this every few days? I think I am fine the way I am!








Again, maybe my hands will make this all better! I think I can make it through this afterall.







Okay, it wasn't so bad! Maybe I will be okay the next time!



No, he still doesn't like his baths. In fact, just this morning, he screamed bloody murder the whole time he was in there. But, he smelled so much better when the bath was all done!

First Bath at Home

So, this post is a little late. These pics were taken the first Saturday Campbell was home. He hated his bath at the hospital and this one at home was no exception. My mom gave him a bath in the sink while I took pics.









Okay, maybe this won't be so bad...










Oh yes it is. I hate this. Put me back where it is warm!










Maybe if I suck on my fingers, this will all go away, or at least make it better! Campbell loves to suck on his fingers. Usually it is the thumb on his left hand or all his fingers on the right hand.










Getting my hair washed is okay! As soon as he was bundled up and getting his hair washed, he quieted down and loved it! Look at that beautiful face!

Easter

So, I didn't actually take any pictures on Easter. (I know, BAD MOM!) We spent the day with both sets of grandparents and Campbell was basically held the whole day. Not too shabby! However, last week, when Campbell was only 4 days old, Beth came over and helped take these great pics of Campbell! I wanted to make sure he still fit in an Easter basket when we took them, so we did them a week early.
