"Young boys should never be sent to bed, they always wake up another day older" - Johnny Depp (as J.M. Barrie in "Finding Neverland")The boys had their checkups the other day, and while I still can't believe that I have a two-year-old, I'm equally in awe of the fact that Camden is already five months old. Wowza, where does the time go. At five months, Camden weighs 17 1/2 pounds (yeah, he's my little porker) and is 27 1/2 inches long (which puts him in the 95th percentile). He loves his toes and thinks that they are better than any toy that I could possibly give him. He is all smiles and giggles and laughter (although teething is making things a little bit rough for him for the moment) and is fascinated by his older brother. Seriously, his smile couldn't get any bigger as soon as he spies Keegan anywhere near him. If we put them even remotely close to each other Camden finds a way to latch on to Keegan's shirt or hair or anything and he won't let go. It's great to watch them in the bath together. Camden is watching Keegan who is busy splashing and playing around. I'm just hoping that Camden remembers just how much he adores his brother when he gets into the teenage years. Hopefully they will manage to stay friends and not make things too rough on their poor parents.
Keegan, at two years old, only weighs 27 1/2 pounds (and he started out so big when he was younger...but he's totally thinned out) and is 35 inches tall (which makes AJ a little scared that he won't be over 6 feet tall, which is his only requirement for our boys). He is pure boy and goes non-stop all day long. We are discovering the temper tantrums and learning to work around them (usually it's because he's hungry) and he is definitely testing his limits, but his smiles, hugs and loves and random moments of snuggles/cuddles make up for it all in the end. I wish I could just figure out how to freeze time, even just for a few moments a day, so that I could somehow slow down how quickly my boys are growing. It's going way too fast, and I'm definitely not ready for it.

Not that I am encouraging them to grow up faster than they already are, but just think, they will only get cuter and cuter. And I have no doubt that between you and AJ, you'll be able to keep them in check.
I couldn't agree more...time needs to stand still and let me keep my little girls as little girls. The days go by way too fast...much quicker than I can keep up. If anything, it's made me realize I need to chill out and just enjoy every silly, stressful, chaotic, lovely moment I have with the little ones. Give your two handsome tikes kisses from us...we miss you guys.
