May flowers!

Well, a pathetic excuse for a blogger I am! Much has happened for the Bailey family since you last checked. In March We moved out of Nana and Gramps into a small 2 BR/1 BA 0apartment. The idea is to save as much as we can for our next home. (That's the idea!) The weekend of the move, Mommy took Camden and Luke down to Tampa for cousin Melanie's first birthday (while Daddy stayed back to move). They had fun playing with their cousins and watching little Melanie dive into her cake. I had to ask Grandpa Dan to help me watch Luke, because he's not just walking--he's running! And always finding some mischief to get into. The nice thing is that Camden has a renewed interest in walking: It would seem as if Luke has inspired him! Now, whenever there is a free moment, Camden will start moving his legs in a walking pattern, which is his signal to us that he wants to walk. He's so motivated and works SO hard! We wondered how seeing Luke walk would affect Camden, so we're glad to see that he is challenged by it. It's renewed our hope that God is certainly not done with CamCam!
April was busy too, with the family continuing to settle in and Mommy helping to put on a 5K race for the Veterans she works for. Camden started with the Miracle League playing adaptive baseball. The baseball diamond is made of rubber and is very wheelchair and walker friendly. It's so cute to see him and his teammates out there being cheered on so enthusiastically by the volunteers and family members! He really seems to like his Thursday night games. We also went out to the Ochlocknee River for Sportsability and enjoyed a ton of adaptive activities. Camden and Luke rode horses (Camden's hippotherapy provider was out, as well as his usual horse Sham!), swam, ate some hamburgers and Cheetos and Camden went tube-skiing and tandem kayaking. It was a fun day with a live band out, at a beautiful park and Camden made lots of new friends that we've run into since then. Tallahassee has proved to be the right move for our family and lately have way too many blessings to count!
