Camden's Arrival

Camden Thomas Paxman
Born: 6/11/11
Time: 11:36 PM
Weight: 7.4 lbs.
Height: 20.5 in.

Here is a quick run-down of Camden's arrival:

I was supposed to be induced on the 9th but every woman in Mesa/Gilbert AZ was going into labor apparently so we waited two full days with great anticipation and got in on the 11th.

We arrived at the hospital at 3:45 PM, I got hooked up to some pictocin and we relaxed and watched a couple movies. About halfway through I got my epideral fix. My anesthesiologist did an AWESOME job! In fact I seriously had no complaints this time, everyone was great! I really didn't progress much so at ten pm my ob broke my water and BAM an hour and a half later Camden arrived!




Camden has been a super sweet/calm baby. He seriously came into this world calm, hardly cried at all. There is a HUGE difference in he and Crew's personalities so far, not to mention looks.

I have been loving every moment with this sweet boy! A little to much in fact, I've pretty much held him for two weeks straight and now he's pretty sure he's supposed to sleep in my arms, NOT his bassinet.

I just can't resist spoiling my babies!!! So what if they're high maintenance.

Crew is uhm. . . Well, he's slowly adjusting to this whole big brother deal. He goes from sweet moments like this where he begs to hold him and love him and kiss him and SQUEEZE him. . .

To this! An absolute crazy, wild, emotional, NAUGHTY boy.

We feel so blessed that Camden arrived safely and is a sweet healthy boy!

Crew's last solo YOUTUBE video.

Seems like after I watched this you might think all we do is play in the water.
Here is a bunch of little video clips.
Mostly for Grandma's but thought I'd share anyways

20 Months

Crew is exactly 20 months today! Handsome little devil.

He has tons of fun and tantrums these days. I've realized I'm in a little over my head with this toddler stuff so I finally broke down and bought a parenting book. Considering I'm due in three days we'll see if I ever actually get around to reading it.

This is Crew's 'Ooooo, Ahhhh' face he's been giving us lately. Love it!

Lake Powell 2

Just had to share a few more pics from our Lake Powell adventures.

This is Chris and I in July of 2007, about a month after we got married. Look'n mighty fine!

We hadn't been to Lake Powell since than and my goodness, we have changed. I got a pretty good laugh seeing how we've grown. . . Outward, especially in my case!

The wet suit boys.

Crew goes through phases of being obsessed with his belly button. . .

Captain Crew at the wheel again.

He thought the jet ski's were fun as long as it didn't go past idle and daddy was driving.
