B's 1st time camping

OK, well, those that were camping on the weekend are probably wondering why I haven't posted about it yet. Plain and simple. Just to busy this week.

Camping was or to us anyway a success! Brenden loved it from what we could see. He cried some while being passed around, but that was more or less the excitment getting to him. He can only handle so much at a time. During the nights he went to bed around 9-10pm and woke up about 4am to feed, then went right back to sleep and work back up around 7:30-8:00am. He did well from my point of view, since it was a first for all of us. First time camping for him and a first for us to bring along a baby with us. We didn't know how it would turn out, but we're very happy it worked out so well.

Brenden had another first. Not only was he a trooper at camping, he is also a well defined swimmer. OK OK, Michelle was holding him, but once he got used to it, he loved the beach & the water. We must have been in the water for a good 20 minutes or so, and he never cried about it once. He would carefully watch each wave roll in and then go past him. He was so focused on the reflections in the water as well. I actually had the video camera out and filmed every minute of it. He was just facinated and so were we.

Overall it was good to go camping. We all got out of the house to visit family and it was a good time for all of us!
