Campbell Gets His Groove On

Luke — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 11:49:17 +0000

It would be an understatement to say that Campbell LOVES the song “Single Ladies.” He requests it often by saying, “Put A Ring On It.” Next to “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” (which he calls “Where Ya At”) it is his most requested dance tune. The real difference is, when he dances to “Single Ladies” he puts his signature moves on, and does them with the verse changes (sort of). Not the same with PBJT which is just a random dance. The wraith of his sisters uncontrolled moves don’t even phase him. I think Dad thought Mara’s smack was a lot worse than it really was.

So, here we give you the amazing dancing Campbell showing off his moves. Actually I have no idea who taught him this stuff, but I guess it had to be Lisa. Thanks Lisa.

Oh. And Mara dressed herself this day.

On The Way To Walking

Luke — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 02:31:27 +0000

In the last month or so, Campbell has been making a lot of progress with his physical skills. We already showed his attempts at waving. He has also been clapping up a storm, which Lisa taught him recently. And of course, since he started to crawl he has been pulling up on things all over the house.

Last week he started to have moments where he would get distracted after he had pulled himself up on something, and the next thing you know he’s standing without holding on without realizing it. One case was in Mom’s office where he went to grab some address labels off of her desk. Well, once he had them in hand he put both hands on the paper, and Wala! He was standing. But, the funnier moment is when he comes to the realization that he is NOT holding on and standing. Then he gets scared and plops down to his butt.

On Sunday he decided that it was time to start pushing around his lion walker and using it for what it was meant to do. He has tried this stunt with his high chair, and Lisa says that he made a couple laps around the kitchen island. Well, now we have it on tape. He is definitely on his way to walking soon. The only problem is heeding other walkers on this busily trafficked area he is practicing on. Watch out!

Learning To Eat

Luke — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 03:11:34 +0000

This video is a little bit old, as it was taken about four weeks ago. Campbell is just starting to eat food with his hands, and of course we are starting with the standard puffs. At the point of this video he has only been at it a week or so. In the beginning when he was working at it it seemed that he simply picked up the puffs and put them to his mouth because, quite frankly, anything that makes it into his hands goes to his mouth. This is around the time where you can begin to see that he is maybe starting to connect that this is food and that he can eat it.

Since the video he has experienced some Cracker Barrel and Chick-fil-a as well, not just puffs. He is becoming an expert now.
