1. The way she touches your face...(she often does it right before she falls asleep or while she is sleeping, making sure you are still right there, but will also do it when she is wide awake). I love the way her tiny hands caress your cheek...I think it's her way of saying she loves you :)
2. Her blankets....if you spend anytime with Camryn you know she almost ALWAYS has to have her soft blankets to fall asleep. She used to only fall asleep if the blanket was covering her face (this was scary for this new mom at first, but I quickly learned you do what works), but now seems to like it right by her face. I often put it right between her and I when I am trying to get her to sleep and you will see her little arm just creep around it. So cute :) I love the way it almost always instantly soothes her.
3. Tricks...Camryn has started to become more of a performer and likes to show off her tricks. Recently, when she is placed upright (in a high chair, rocking chair, etc.) she will grab her foot and pull it straight up or the side. Check her out...
Cammie has learned how to smack her lips (well, she may make the sound with her tongue, but her lips always look like she is smacking them :). She must think this trick is pretty neat, because when she does it once she repeats it over and over. Funny how you think the littlest things they do are so neat! :)
She also has become quite the roller....at first she only seemed to roll when I wanted to take her picture. We knew she could roll both front to back and back to front, but just didn't seem too interested in doing it very often (or maybe just too lazy :). Lately, it seems like she is always moving and scooting. If I place her on the mat of her play gym and walk away or turn my back for a second it seems like she has immediately scooted all the way down or flipped to the opposite side that she started on. She's definitely quite the mover (well, as much as a 5 month old can move :)
4. Playtime...Cammie is really beginning to interact with us and her toys as she plays. Her expressions are priceless and those big, bright smiles she flashes at you will immediately melt your heart. :) Camryn is also "talking" more, as she begins to babble and continues to screech and find her voice. It's funny how she seems to "say" hi and yeah at just the right times when Chris or I am talking.
She is beginning to get a firm grip and tries to hold on to toys for a longer time. Most of the time she is successful, but larger, chunkier toys are obviously more difficult. She loves to squeeze a stuffed animal super tight and grab mom's hair or earrings and hang on for dear life! Camryn also LOVES to grab the bird hanging down from her jump-a-roo and tell him all her secrets! :) I wonder what she is telling him...
6. Her uncontrollable hands...Cammie's hands are ALWAYS going! She loves to open them, close them, move them, etc. Although her grasp is getting stronger by the minute, her dad and I love the way she opens and closes them as fast as she can when she sees her bottle (she grunts and makes noises when she sees it also :) Those little hands are getting ready for some big adventures in the future!
7. Her love for the puppies....Cammie is a girl after her mom's heart. :) She LOVES puppies! Anytime she sees Brohdi or Zoey walk by, she instantly focuses on them and watches their every move! When they get close enough to her, she reaches for them and "pets" them. Zoey is so, so, SO good with her! Zoey will stand there and let Cammie pet or grab her face and ears. These moments with Zoey are definitely some of the highlights to Camryn's day! Brohdi, however is not near as excited to have Cammie touch him as Zoey is. Brohdi tolerates Cammie, but only on his terms. If he wants to be around her he will tolerate her touching him...if he is not in the mood he just pretty much ignores her and moves away. I think he is still a little jealous he is not the only baby around here anymore! :)
