If I was asked to describe Camryn in one word these days it would be busy! She goes and goes and goes...non-stop...almost every minute of every day. Deep down I love her energy and hope it transfers to good habits in the future, but man it can wear this mommy out! As soon as we pull in the driveway she immediately wants to play outside. It doesn't matter what time it is or what the weather may be, she only has outside activities on her agenda for the evening. She loves riding in her pink car, going for a walk, playing with Karter and Lakyn (she gets out of the car, points to their house and "yells" for them) or running down the driveway just to name a few (and this is usually after playing in the daycare at the Y). When we finally do corral her and get her inside she usually eats dinner and then runs the show inside. She wants to play with her toys, climb in the dishwasher, play with the dogs...anything that involves moving about.
Taking Camryn anywhere can be quite a challenge these days too. Because she is so busy, trying to go out to eat, get through the grocery store or watch a football game can become a HUGE task! We experienced our first tantrum episode during dinner at Logan's the other night. Chris and I specifically chose Logan's because they are usually super fast. Of course this day they weren't and Camryn had eaten her dinner, been distracted by things long enough and was ready to get down and move! Chris and I tried so hard to keep her happy, but we had to be those people who asked for their check as soon as the food arrived. In addition, I missed the entire first half of Nick's football game Friday night because we were playing in the bleachers. She loves nothing more than running from one end to the other, walking up and down all the steps and cheering with the cheerleaders. Here are just a few pictures from our night...
 |
| Playing with her friend Izack..he is too funny with her. He even brought his pink robot that night so she had something to play with. :) |
 |
| Of course she would rather have the car :) |
 |
| Running the bleachers with her Nevin...she loves the boys :) |
 |
| I LOVE this picture of her...so classic (before she takes off to the other side of the bleachers :) |
 |
| Nana and Cammie...Nana has the magic touch at the football games...gets her to sleep every time! |
 |
| All that running will actually knock her out...for a little while anyway :) |
Although our little munchkin is very busy and always on the move we do love all the wonderful things she is doing right now! She definitely keeps us on our toes and learns so many new things each and every day. It's amazing to watch that little mind "work." In the past
week she has learned how to:
- knock on a door (love the little fist that she makes)
- close AND open all the doors in the house (yikes...time for mom to put the door locks on :)
- sign eat on her own (when she is actually ready to eat, rather than being prompted to do so)
- clap her hands while she dances
- swing from side to side when she dances
- "feed" the dogs (she takes the empty cup back to the food bin, pushes the lid closed and pushes the container back inside of the pantry...she doesn't ever forget a step :)
- climb into the rocking chair at Nana's house
She is just getting too big! :)
