Camden 11 Months Old

January 5, 2017January 3, 2018 - erinheger_ajpoel Leave a comment

Camden is almost one year old, and I want to remember him like this forever. So happy. So curious. So full of joy. He is full on walking and toddles all over the place. He also still loves to push things all throughout the house — laundry baskets, toys, stools, whatever he can get hisRead more

Again I am behind on Camden’s monthly updates. which is the story of my life. He will be eleven months in a couple weeks. He is so much fun. I love to watch him play and explore by himself. He puts small toys inside of bigger toys, and looks for toys he pushes behind aRead more

Camden Nine Months Old

Nine months! I don’t know how it is possible. Camden is crawling all over the place, pulling up and walking along furniture. Gone are the days when we could put him down and focus on something else. We are officially in the chasing child phase which I hear lasts several years! It has been aRead more

I love traditions. I especially love fall and holiday traditions. And I am extra excited to share them with Camden this year. The first of our fall traditions is going apple picking! Last year we waited until October, and it was too late. There were hardly any apples on the trees! So this year, IRead more

Camden Eight Months Old

My sweetheart is eight months old, and I can’t believe it! This month went by way too fast. Camden is darling, and growing more ornery and mischievous everyday. He is crawling now, which just happened this week. Everyone was right when they told me life is much easier when babies stay put! Camden is into everythingRead more

Camden Seven Months Old

August 30, 2016January 3, 2018 - erinheger_ajpoel Leave a comment

It’s so hard to believe we have a seven month old! I know I say it all the time, but Camden really is growing so fast. I swear every morning when I pick him up out of his crib he is heavier and longer and his PJ’s fit more snugly. At this age Camden isRead more

Camden Five and Six Months Old

July 12, 2016January 3, 2018 - erinheger_ajpoel Leave a comment

Oh my goodness. Camden is growing so much so fast. We have been so busy this summer that by the time I sat down to write his five month update he was a week away from turning six months, so I just combined them. Mom fail. Or win. Camden is so much fun. He lovesRead more

This has been a huge month of growth for both Camden and me. For those familiar with the Wonder Weeks, you’ll understand and appreciate what we recently went through with Camden. If you aren’t familiar with the Wonder Weeks, you should google it! Basically, it’s this book about baby mental development milestones (leaps) and the rockyRead more

What Having a Baby Taught Me to Appreciate About my Mom

May 11, 2016 - erinheger_ajpoel 1 Comment

I didn’t want her to leave. “Please stay,” I told her through tears, half naked on the couch fumbling to bring my baby to my breast. She squeezed my shoulders and told me I’m doing a great job. It sure didn’t feel like it. The week was a blur of late nights fading into earlyRead more

Camden Three Months Old

And just like that the newborn stage is over. We have surpassed the magic 12 week mark. Things are more stable, but I wouldn’t call them easy. I’m coming to terms with the fact that this will never be easy. I do feel less like I’m drowning….and more like I’m treading water. Camden is heavy.Read more
