While we were pregnant and soon after Camdyn's birth we were always being told that time would fly by and that kids just grow up so fast. It's not that we never believed it, but it is really hard to understand something until you see it first hand. I think that all those things people told us about time was an understatement. The past 4-5 weeks so far have felt like 2-3 days. So much has happened with Camdyn in such a short time. She is really growing up so fast and it does feel like if we blink we may just miss something!
Camdyn is now a fan and a pretty good pro at rolling over- front to back and back to front! This of course had made things quite interesting when trying to change her diaper and change her. She has to have constant monitoring as if she can find room to turn, she will.
I think we may have mentioned in our post after her 4 month check up that we were allowed to start her on solids. She is LOVING it! She is getting rice/oatmeal for breakfast, fruit for lunch and then veggies for dinner. Any feedings in between are still with milk. She is such a good eater and a little piggy- can't imagine where she gets her love for food :-) The problem now is that we can't feed her quite enough or fast enough. She is very close to changing to level 2 food, and that should help her out some. We are also starting to make her some of her food, hopefully that goes well :)
Another great change is that Camdyn is now 100% in her crib with no swaddle or anything. We put her down and she pretty much falls asleep. She was starting to wake up about once a night when we first tried and *knock on wood* the last 4 nights she has been sleeping 9+ hours.
The newest change with Camdyn is she is starting to sit up by herself. She hasn't quite mastered it yet but is very close. She can sit up alone now but has to be careful because she still kind of leans. She will be there soon....along with crawling! I told you, lots has been happening!! She can turn her body around on the floor and even go backwards but is still trying to get forward. I wouldn't be surprised if we have video of these events soon :)
Well that is the hustle and bustle of the Rivera household right now. We hope that everyone is doing well!
Love always,
Ben, Gabrielle, and Camdyn

Say Cheese!
So I still find myself in the process of trying to finish updating the blog. I think the real last thing left to do is change the background style, though to what I am really not sure yet. Hopefully, I can get that taken care of soon. It looks like the You Tube feature on the side is kind of working. To the best of my knowledge, it puts the last 4 videos on there for you, however, we have a new one that for some reason isn't showing up there yet. I will have to remember to try and look into that too. In the meantime I will post the new video in this blog.
We had a coupon for some pictures at JC Penney's so we went ahead and took Camdyn in today to get some new ones. Was kind of due since our last real ones were back when she was 2 weeks old there. So yeah she has changed a bit. She did great today though and her pictures look great!! There is a way you can share the album with others so they can of course purchase copies if they want. It unfortunately won't let me post a link but rather I have to email out from the site, so if anybody really wants to see them just let us know and we can forward them on. Hopefully once we pick up our order we can try and get some to share on here. I would love to be able to take them myself and am really trying. My goal is to try and learn my camera so that by the time she is 1 I can attempt to do her pictures myself. Fingers crossed. I really love using my camera and enjoy taking pictures (yes I know 99.9% of them are of her- but seriously she is a pretty great subject :) ). So we will see.
Everything else here is pretty much the same. Not much new to report. Work is keeping Ben busier than I think either of us could have ever imagined. But we are doing what we need to and making the best of it. It could very well lead to some excellent things for Ben as he really has a promising career.
Well I think that is it for us for tonight.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the people and families in Japan. We hope this finds each of you well.
Till next time!
Love always,
Ben, Gabrielle, and Camdyn
