(me walking around the corner. nothing happening. turn down hallway. BABY going DOWN the STAIRS!!)

So, we had a great visit with the family this weekend. And they left us with a little present. A gigantic, horrible cold!!! we still love you though:) On monday camden was sick. Poor baby:( Tuesday elek. Wed, cool I think Keenan will miss it. Wed night what happened? We were eating dinner and my two big boys were coughing and misserable. They could hardly eat. When shaun came home we went to M.O.M.'s My favorite little organic store. The cough medicine we had just makes them very awake....not good. We went organic cold medicine. This was new to me. I can't believe what a variety of medicine they have. The cool thing was that I could actually pronounce the ingredients. Well, Keenan came in with me. He is my little side kick. He happily "helped" me find medicine. I found my beloved grape seed extract, emergen-C, zinc, some cough med - and of course fruit leather. It is like a fruit roll up, but all natural.....My boys love these and now that they know what they are I can't seem to get away without them. We left with quite the heafty bill and a amall lunch sack of medicine. Why does medicine cost so much? A small part of me did think get something for you. But I'm not sick.
When we came home everyone was dosed up and put in bed. But, not before elek decided to cough so hard he threw up. Fantastic! In addition to going to sleep they each had they're water bottle, through-up container and kleenex. Oh ya - MY extra pillows too. Demanding boys...All this in the hope they will sleep...Right? Shaun and I settled down to watch a nice little movie. When suddenly I was slammed with a stuffy nose! What is this? I was up all night.
Finally I went down stairs to sleep. Woke up when shaun left at 6am. I though since i'm up I'll give every one they're med. Finally at 8 I gave up. Which brings us to Camden.

MOM!
what.
CAMDEN!!!

I am shocked to see my little baby had crossed over the barrier that had been keeping him in for the last 4-5 months. And is speeding down the stairs. What happened? When did he learn this? When did he start thinking through a concept. What happened to my baby that would stay where I put him?
The poor baby was a bit bored. I did plug the other two in and left camden to wander. But, just because I'm sick and sleepy - I don't think he should go and grow up. Learn new things- Where did the time go...
I guess I have to say good-bye to my sweet, smilly faced, baby.
Maybe, after nap he'll have forgotten what a big baby he's become..... :)

He moved so quickly. I didn't even have time to scoot back to take the picture before he was going!
Look at the gleeful smile :)



And Down he goes. With toy in hand even. Man he was fast!
