The Nguyen Family Zoo...We put our family zoo on display for Halloween this year. Camden was a giraffe and Ethan wore Camden's lion suit from last year. We paraded the boys around daycare and at my work. We took them to a few houses in the neighborhood too. Our cute little animals turned heads wherever they went. It was a beautiful Halloween night.

Camden's Latest Milestones
Camden is at 14 months of age now and his personality continues to grow and make us laugh. He's very proficient at going up and down the stairs and even closing the gate behind him. We still don't let him climb the stairs unsupervised, but he can crawl up without much problem.
He's also very good at letting us know exactly what he needs. He'll point at the bananas on the counter and say "ba-naa-na" or "dis" or "dat". He'll do the same if he sees his sippy cup or a container of Cheerios. We gave him an apple recently and found that he would hold it in his hands by himself and eat it without any trouble. Peel and all. He also likes to toast you. So if you hold your glass to his sippy cup, or anything else he has in his hand, and say "Cheers!" he loves to toast with you. Camden has also been tossing his food over the side of his high chair to Oliver and following that action with an "uh ohhhh!" It's hard not to laugh at him.
Camden is also down to one bottle a day and taking the rest of his liquids in his sippy cup. We're also weening him from formula and mixing it with soy milk. The transition has been pretty seamless. We haven't seen any adverse reaction and he doesn't seem to mind the change.
On occasion, if you ask Camden, "Where's your belly button?" He'll raise his shirt and point to his belly button.
He's sleeping pretty well. On occasion he'll wake up at 3am for just a little bit, but that's been pretty rare. For the most part he'll sleep through the night waking up sometime between 530am and 630am. If we're lucky, he goes until 730am. He's only done that once or twice.
He and Ethan are getting along great. Camden will sometimes give E an eye gouge if we're not paying attention. We continue to practice "gentle touches" with him, but he still doesn't really understand his own strength. He'll tug on his feet or hold his hands at times, but he's not all that interested in playing with him.
We continue to be amazed at all of Camden's milestones and the kid just makes us laugh and laugh. He has such a beautiful little person voice and communicates with his in his own unique way. He's so aware of his surroundings now and that curiosity kids develop is starting to become more apparent.

Enjoying the Fall Colors

Ethan's One Month Birthday!
It's been four weeks since Ethan arrived! Maternity leave is flying by and keeping up with everything is quite the battle! Nights are still a bit rough.... with E getting up every few hours and most content in the arms of mommy or in bed with us. (Mommy sometimes falls asleep before he finishes eating and wakes up a couple hours later when he's hungry again!) He's gained a lot of weight... probably close to 10 pounds already. He's a chatterbox.... with all these cute little coos and giggles. Today, Ethan and I are off to Maple Grove to enjoy this beautiful fall weather in the outdoor shopping area. Here's a little picture collage of a typical afternoon that Ethan and I have!
It's hard to believe he's already out of his "little" newborn clothes and his zero to three month clothes are fitting just perfectly! He'll be out of those before you know it! Stay tuned for more updates!!!
