Camden had his second tooth come in yesterday! Woo hoo little guy! He still isn't sleeping though. Glenn got up with him the last two nights because I have a weekend class this weekend. It's been so nice to get a break. I still wake up every time, but it's nice not to have to get out of bed.
Camden has also been army crawling all over the house. His poor little arms and legs have rough patches on them from all the use. He loves to follow Sophie to her bedroom and play in there. Sophie even gets toys for him to play with. She is such a good big sister!

Camden has a tooth!
Finally! It just came through last Thursday. He has been super crabby, and not feeling well. The second tooth should be here any day, so he is still super crabby and not feeling well! He has stopped sleeping through the night, and is now up anywhere between 4 and 6 times! I am exhausted! On top of that, I started my student teaching (1st graders, they're so cute) and Glenn has started his Master's program. Needless to say, we are all extremely busy and exhausted!
Sophie has tried out a couple preschools, and we decided on one this week. She will start there part time next week. She loves going to "school" and counts down the days until she can go back. She can sing her ABC's, knows her colors, is counting to ten pretty well, and has an incredible vocabulary! Camden's occuaptional therapist questioned us about her articulation on the last visit, so she is going to be evaluated by a speech therapist next week to see if we can't get services to work on her articulation. She has a lot to say, you just can't understand what it is she is trying to tell you!
Camden is doing well too. He still has about another month or so in his helmet though. He finally noticed it was there, and he rubs the top of his head when he is tired. It's so cute! He has started army crawling, and is all over the place now. I am pretty sure he is almost caught up to where he should be for his age, but he will have another evaluation at the end of the month by the ladies from Early Intervention.

Leaps and Bounds
Well, we got the rest of the bloodwork results back, and good news! Everything came back normal. So, that means that there is no enzyme problem. However, that also means that we have no idea what had been holding Camden back. We(and the doctors) are now just assuming that Camden has been on a very odd trajectory and will eventually even out and be just like every other kid! He will ocntinue to be closely monitored by his doctors and will also continue to recieve therapy from the Early Intervention program.
Camden has also been making huge strides developmentally. He is still a little bit behind, but is almost caught up to where he should be! He is sitting up, babbling, playing with toys and interacting with his big sister. He is still an extremely mellow boy and is one of the happiest babies that I(and others) have ever seen. He is doing well starting solids, and has started eating a bit of table food. It is wreacking havoc on his intestins, but we are still in close contact with the pediatric gastroenterologist to keep it all in balance.
Sophie is still an amazing little girl and is quite the little mommy. She loves to help out with Camden, feeding him, soothing him, and making him laugh. She has "Dolly" that she feeds, burps and puts to bed. She is just an incredible daughter and sister. Her vocabulary is growing each day and she is starting to "pretend". She is such a sweet girl and a little comedian to boot!

Early Intervention, Round 1
Well, Camden had his first real session with Early Intervention today. He did really well. He had a bit of a hard time because he was distracted by Sophie, but that was to be expected. He showed off all of his skills, and moved around all over the place. They said that he is doing really well. Still a little bit behind, but doing so much better than he was a few motnhs ago. They have their weekly meeting tomorrow, so they will call us and let us know what they decide to do from here on out. It could just be monthly visits out and mostly just monitoring him to make sure that he doesn't fall behind and keeps progressing. However, they did ask about Sophie's speech. She is very hard to understand and doesn't articulate words very well. They asked if we would be interested in getting her into EI with a speech therapist to work on her articulation. I said "Yes!". I know she gets frustrated when we are not able to figure out what she is saying. I think she would benefit greatly from someone working with her that really knows what they are doing. SO, if it's not one child with problems, it's the other!

Enzyme Schmemzine!
Well, we got some preliminary bloodwork results back showing that Camden may have something called "Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorder". It means that he can't break down the food he eats in the way he is supposed to. He had more blood drawn, but it has to be sent to a lab in Portland, so it will be a while before we get the results back. At least we are making progress!
