To My Handsome Big Boy:
Hi Camden-I can't believe that you are two 1/2 today! Where has the time gone- it truly has felt like the blink of an eye since you were my "Teeny Tiny Lookalou"!
This is not to say that I haven't appreciated each and every moment that you've been in my world! A true gift; and one that has utterly and completely changed my life for the better. I LOVE being your Mama and am so proud of the little man you are growing in to! Yes, that's right...no longer are you a "baby" (though you will ALWAYS be MY baby). Your little body has changed from chubby and squishy to long and lean almost overnight! You still have the cheeks...I hope they stick around for awhile!
When I come into your room to sneak a peak of your peaceful sleeping, I cannot believe how big you look! It melts my heart and breaks it all in the same instant. I wish I could keep you little forever- innocent and wide eyed; yet I also can't wait to watch you experience all that life has in store.
Since your second birthday, you have really shown us who you are: A strong willed yet silly and loving little guy who can't get enough basketball! You would play and watch the game all day- it cracks us up! You have a mean shot and we only hope you continue to hone your skills; because at this rate, you may just be the best player in the world someday! :)
You love to dance and play "air drums" while riding in the car. You have many favorite songs which you insist on hear again and again; and I am proud to say that you appreciate Bob Marley as much as your Mama and Auntie Ali!
You have developed a fear of the dark and refuse to sleep without the closet light on. Each night before bed, you still beg us to leave your door open and the answer is always the same: "No Camden, we do it to keep you safe," yet you still remain persistent in your quest...you get that from me!
You have recently taken an interest in the "potty" and Mama and Daddy are so proud of you! We haven't and will not force the issue because we know in time you will be out of diapers. Just as with anything...in YOUR time! I love that about you...very strong willed. I know, however, it will be a big challenge to raise such a determined young man!

You are all about your Daddy right now! I actually have to remind myself not to let this hurt my feelings. Your Daddy is very good to you and I love to watch you two play and giggle (the best sound in the world)!
And what a sweet and loving Big Brother you are to Baby Dashy! Last night you asked to feed him a bottle! This was a sight I'll never forget...such a simple yet beautiful moment for your Mama!
Every day I count my blessings that I was chosen to be your Mama!! I love you more than you'll ever know...
"Love Love Love...You You You My Teeny Tiny Teeny Tiny Lookalou"
