You’ve started smiling a lot lately. And not just from gas. Mommy and I play a game with you that makes you laugh nearly every time.

Dining out
Momma and you are bathed in the reddish lights at the Chicago Diner. It’s her favorite restaurant and you’ve been here twice now. It was payday, so we decided to surprise mommy with a treat. Our waiter, Jeff, has a brand new baby boy too, so he generously gave us a free desert!
Thanks for the freebies, Cam!
Just so you know…
You aren’t always the world’s happiest baby (though we try).
Admitted into evidence, the boy annoyed and the boy pacified.
Bear Down
Watching the Bears today, you made some pretty funny faces, as usual.
Rock and Rolla’
Yes, Campbell, you do like your music. But while you’re sporting these cool jammies given to you by “Uncle Iggy” (aka our friend Igor Davila), you usually listen to things that are more reserved; Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Classical tunes on Pandora, that sort of thing…
In any case, you ROCKED these pajamas this weekend.
Ducky
When daddy was just a little fellow (about your same size), the nurses at the doctor’s office used to call him “Ducky” because his hair stuck up on the top of his head like a tuft of down. So imagine daddy’s surprise tonight when momma dressed you in Duck pajamas? The title, young Campbell, is now yours.
Tummy Time!
Mommy gave you a little “tummy time” today on your tummy mat (one of your Christmas presents this year). You didn’t do a lot of head lifting but man, did you ever get those legs working!
Christmas, later
Today, while you took a little nap, Mommy cleaned the front room for some very special visitors; the Yeomans! (Well, there are MANY Yeomans in Mommy’s family but these were the closest).
You were visited by your Grandmother Belinda, Grandpa Boyd, Aunt Erin & Uncle Jack. You were charming, quiet and very entertaining. You got a lot of really lovely gifts from them & some great gifts from Uncle Brydon, Aunt Chrissy, Cousins Ian-Scott & Ashley.
Lamb Time
Before you were born, your Uncle Tim and Aunt Besty gave you a really fun activity chair. Today, while we watched the Chicago Bears, you did some great training of your own, looking at yourself in the mirror, watching the little hanging lamb and working on those important motor skills.
Whatchu talkin’ ’bout?
Clearly, you were well rested tonight, because you made a variety of cooing and great faces over the course of an hour. This is one of my favorite faces, as you appear to do your impression of Gary Coleman.
It's Campbell Time!
