We have had some big changes in the Gehle house in the past two weeks. Starting with Camden, as you can see from the picture he is feeding himself. I was telling a friend how I didn't think he would ever give up baby food one day and then the next day he shut his mouth and turned his head every time it was offered to him. Of course I had just stocked up with about 20 jars the day before!!!!! Now he doesn't even want me to feed him! If I put food on a fork and try to give it to him he turns his head and then gets another piece from his tray and feeds it to himself. So now I can actually maybe eat while my food is still hot?!??!?! The other big change for Camden is that he is crawling and pulling himself up to standing. He started with a military crawl and I liked this, he wasn't too fast. Well he graduated up to traditional crawling and has been VERY busy!!! His first day crawling he made it into the laundry room with the dog bowl. Next thing I know Brayden is asking for a paper towel to which I ask why and he replies, "to clean up my brother". He was wet up to his elbows and having a great time!
The next BIG change here is that Brayden is using the big boy potty!!!!!!!! He is very excited about the stickers that he gets to stick to a chart; 1 for just trying, 2 for going pee and 3 for going poopy. He anounced today that he is going for 3 stickers but will be happy with 2!!! I am trying to make this as positive for him as possible. He asked for a Diego potty seat to go on the big potty, not a potty chair he has one of those but he wanted just the small seat. First off I can't believe he remembered, I showed him that months ago! Well I went to find it and didn't remember where I saw it so 4 stores later we found it, thank goodness!!! He also got race car underwear but he only wants to wear them for the walk down the hall to his potty and then for the walk back to his room after he uses the potty. He still finds comfort in his diaper, and I have to admit so do I!!!!!

Good luck with all of the changes! Are you doing ok? That is a lot for a mom to go through at one time. Sometimes, it is hard to watch them grow up (especially when everything seems to be happening at once). I guess it is time for another :)! I LOVE the little potty seat versus the potty chair. You may not always have a potty chair with you and they may become scared of the "big" potty. Good job being a great mom and keeping it all together with all the BIG changes in your life right now...not to mention the COLD!
'Sounds like quite a bit of excitement is happening at your house! Wow! Doesn't it seem like something new happens every other day? That is how I feel about Kyle, and you have x 2!! I forgot what that is like. Enjoy the craziness!
Way to go, Brayden!
What a big boy!!
Kim, don't get your hopes up about the hot food.......I still eat cold food all the time.
Sorry :(

Cammie is changing in looks again! You must have sun in Minnesota, seeing Brayden is wearing sunglasses or is that to protect his eyes from the camera flash?
