Camden update

For all those curious about Camden's progress and how DLC is going, I'll fill you in. It's growing on us and him. He doesn't seem to have as much attachment anxiety anymore. It's just understood that he'll be eating breakfast as soon as he's dropped off, and he really just focuses on the food now. And he's begun OT--the goal the OT wants him to work on is to be able to eat with utensils and wants us to work on "unballing" his hands and flexing those fingers out. He should hopefully start Speech this week.
A friend at Church that says his head is more stable every time she sees him. And when he's on the floor, he can get into a position with his legs in a "T" shape and props himself up quite sturdily. So progress is being made--Camden is like the tortoise. It may take him longer, but he will win the race! Thanks for all the prayers--they are WORKING!! :)
Here's a pic of the Christmas tree and Camden's "T" sit.

Thanksgiving Leftovers

We are still loosening our belts (or diaper flaps) from all that good food we had over Thanksgiving! We were very thankful to have ALL of Kevin's family in Jax for the feast and Aunt JoJo was a perfect hostess. Gramps said a nice prayer, then asked us all to go around and thank God for something we were grateful for. (Cousin Jake mentioned his bike!)
Some of us did a little shopping on Black Friday, but no door-busting going on. The big event that day was going to get Christmas trees!! (will post pic of tree later) Later that night Kevin, Camden and I went out to the Landing for the tree-lighting celebration. It was pretty crazy down there, but we got some good pics out of it.
Saturday came the game (that shall remain nameless) and Daddy and Uncle Jon and Aunt Ash went out to Gainesville while the rest of us piggies stayed home. We had fun lamenting and whining with each other about the changes FSU needs to make in the program. Sigh...standard stuff.
Aunt Joani baked some fabulous quiches for breakfast Sunday morning and we did some more chilling with the fam. All in all, a pretty darn good holiday, I'd say. Now we're ready for Santa!

First Week at DLC

Well, Camden is done with his 1st week at DLC. It went...okay. We were hoping for a smoother adjustment (just because Camden's a very social guy). But he was pretty fussy and didn't smile as much as he usually does. Also after the 1st day, Ms. Pat told asked me if he was used to eating a lot in the morning. She was feeding her grandaughter some breakfast and Camden looked over and gave his baby-bird mouth to her! :0
Needless to say the rest of the week we must have brought in 5 containers of food every day! Hopefully next week will go better, once he gets more accustomed to the staff there and his surroundings. Therapy will also start next week. (They were waiting on the Dr. to fax over Rx for therapies and he hopefully did that today).
Happy Friday!
