Well... I'm back from 7 days and 7 nights of camping!!!
... And I just have to say this....
Cailen is friggin awesome. I always knew he was great, but the way he dealt with such a change in his entire life, and so quickly, was amazing.
He slept the whole ride there... packed like a sardine with my stepdaughter...
We arrived. He looked at where we were, and instantly smiled at anyone who came over and ooed and aaad at him
And that was the whole week - people ooing, aaaing, running away with my child to take care of him (and he didnt even look back at me  ) but - when I took him back from someone he would look back a them sadly.... ESPECIALLY the beautiful women - it was so funny
He also laughed for the 1st time there - not giggled, but deep, prolonged belly laughter when he was in the Bjorn while we were dancing... it was so funny and very contagious
The nonstop activity and the sun, heat, etc knocked him out cold every night, so he was comatosed as soon as the sun went down. We bathed him nearly everyday outside in his little tub - there was hot and cold water... those huggies washcloths were the best
Because I was so concerned about keeping him out of the sun, this was the 1st yr I didn get burnt to a crisp at the festival, so he may save my life and my skin now....
I am beyond exhaustec, but have to run a load of laundry at least until its time to throw them in the dryer, so I figured I'd come on and say hi...
more stories, advice, and plenty of pictures to come, but it was wonderful. DH took him for most of the time there, which was wonderful. There were tons of babies, and my friends there who had kids (and in the back of their mind are debating having a 3rd) were more than happy to grab him every chance they could - perhaps to see if its possible with a 2 yr old and 5 yr old 
Every performer that met him (and regular folk too) had the same two things to say about him:
Wow - what a serious stare he has
and
Wow - he sure drools a lot!!!!
Poor baby is teething - everytime I jammed my fingers in there, he would chomp down hard!!!
