What Baby Camden is up to
About eleven pounds. ba dum bum

She is three months old and her new interests include clutching dramatically at her clothing a la Fred Sanford, poking out her tongue so mom & dad can tickle it with a finger, and "talking" to us in little "hoo-hoo" monkey grunts with a surprised look that says, "Am *I* making that noise?"

She's also holding that head up very nicely, able to sit on a lap and take in a room with bug eyes, and adores "tummy time" (for you non-parents, that means lying on her stomach propped on her arms like the Sphinx, thereby strengthening her neck, arms, and back muscles and gaining some balance and movement control). She can't read yet, but otherwise, she's coming along very well.
Kanka Is Some Hardcore Stuff

Apparently I have a canker sore. Not a cold sore, which is contagious. So I picked up a substance called Kanka at my local apothecary (Eckerd) which purported to provide maximum pain relief and form a protective coating around my annoying little ulcer. And boy did it ever. I think I went a bit aggressive in the application of it because my lips, the tip of my tongue, and part of my gums seem to have vanished. I can still numbly feel the canker sore a little bit but the pain has been greatly reduced. Thankya, Kanka.
