Snow Days



Between scheduled breaks and snow days (all of a sudden Southern Indiana schools have decided to completely shut down when we receive over an inch of snow...I know this craziness of calling off school has slowly increased, but this year is killing us...ughhh I digress :)  Camryn and I have had lots of extra time to do nothing.  Although I LOVE every second I get to spend with my precious baby, I will be so jealous in the spring when her daddy gets to spend time with her outside on a beautiful day and I will be stuck working :(  Anyway...these are some of the ways we have been occupying our time! :)

Playing with toys in the Bumbo (mom likes this because she can take me anywhere and get a at least a little something done! :)

Eating lunch at Chick-Fil-A with my Aunt Chrissie...all decked out in my puppy dog ensemble (Thank you Aunt Tammy for the outfit and Chrissie for the hat! :)

Finding a new treat at Target...I couldn't even wait for mommy to pay for them! (That would be because mommy, Nana and Chrissie had me in Target for over an hour!!! We were just so sick of being stuck inside the house...)

Modeling some sunglasses...we are READY for warm weather and the beach in July!!!

Finally finishing a Christmas craft...I was dreading the paint and by the looks of the one side you can see why!



Laying on my pillow pet (Thank you Aunt Chrissie :)

Playing with my new ball

Hanging out in my jump-a -roo

 





Figuring out how to spin this part...I love how focused she is...wish I would have had the camera out when she realized how to do it...she was so proud of herself! :)

And taking lots....



and lots....








of naps! :) 


(Since Cammie and I tend to nap together on snow days I didn't get any pictures of us, but I did capture B and Z...who always nap with us! :)

 





Stripes Everywhere

Saturday night Chris and I wanted to run and grab something to eat before the Colt's game started.  Camryn had just had a bath and since it was SOOO cold outside, I grabbed a hat for Camryn and just stuck it on her head before we walked out the door.  It wasn't until we got back and changed her diaper that I realized she was wearing stripes everywhere...she's a mess! :)

Homeboddies

Cammie has turned her mom and dad into total homeboddies... For the last three years, I have occupied my time going to the gym, working for school, hanging out with my mom, finishing my master's or my personal favorite...shopping :), while Chris was always at some school, coaching some sport.  For anyone who does not know my husband he got into education primarily to be a coach.  Last year and the two years prior, Chris coached elementary girl's basketball, middle school boy's basketball, elementary track and high school baseball.  Needless to say he was always gone.  Since Camryn's arrival in August things at our house have definitely slowed down!  Chris is now only coaching two sports; middle school basketball and high school baseball and I am home A LOT more!!!  I can honestly say I really love and enjoy being at home!  Although we are still working on creating a "normal" schedule, the slower pace of life was a joyous welcome at the Kane household. 

Trouble

I think we may be in trouble...

Little Miss Cammie loves the t.v. remote...I wonder who will win the channel battle as she gets older :)

4 Month Checkup

     I am finally able to post Cammie's stats from her four month check up.  Cammie's 4 month birthday fell on Christmas Eve and it was very difficult trying to schedule her appointment due to the holidays.  This past Monday Camryn went to the doctor and was given two big thumbs up from Dr. Morgan. :) Camryn of course turned on her charm and was all smiles as Dr. Morgan checked her out...she is such a mess already! :)


At 4 months Camryn:

• weighs 14.8 pounds (in the 90-95th percentile for her age)
• is 25 1/2 inches long (99th percentile for her age...no wonder her pants are all too short :)
• can roll both back to front and front to back, but only does it when she wants to (so stubborn just like her dad, however she always seems to show off her rolling skills when I am trying to take a picture of her on her belly :)
• is finding her voice...screeches, screams and squeals like CRAZY!!! (both happy and mad)...she also loves to "talk" to us throughout the day
• still has her blue eyes, strawberry blonde hair and fair skin...we think it's the most beautiful combination :)  (Mom is anxious to see if those blue eyes stick.)
• sometimes has a red-headed temper to match her strawberry blonde hair :)
• has become a pro at eating from a spoon and loves it!!!
• started stage 1 baby food...likes bananas and sweet potatoes so far (that's all we have tried :)
• continues to be in between sizes in clothes...3-6 months really fits her, but we usually need the length of 6 month pants...so she wears both! :)
• wears a size 2 diaper
• can hold her own bottle
• recognizes her bottle and begins to kick and grunt when she sees it
• LOVES the dogs!  She watches them, reaches for them, touches them and i likes when they are close to her.  Guess she has her momma's love for puppies! :)
• LOVES watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (will still watch Special Agent Oso too, but seems to like Mickey better :)
• recently tried out the jumper and was a fan...she likes all the noises it makes and that it lights up when she moves (she is still a little small for it, so we have to put a pillow under her feet)
• will sometimes put herself to sleep during the day (if she has her soft blanket to pull over her face) and most often has to be in her bouncer seat to do so 
• seems to have gotten over her hatred for the car seat (I think it is finally safe to say)...thank goodness that was a phase!

• is loved by SO many people...we are so thankful she is a happy and healthy baby!

No Words

There are no words to describe these pictures, but they were way too funny not to share! :)



New Year's Eve

We celebrated New Year's Eve......at home this year.  We had 5 different invitations of places we could go and in an effort to not hurt anyone's feelings we decided to keep Cammie-bear at home.  This was also the first year in what seems like 20 years that my mom has been off on NYE.  For as long as I can remember she has always worked, so it was great ringing in the new year with her in person, rather than calling her at work!  Chris and I spent the day taking down Christmas decorations (I think that is possibly one of the most depressing things to do BTW) and trying to get our house back in order.  We ordered some pizza and rang in the new year with my mom, dad, aunt and grandma.  Although it was pretty low key we enjoyed spending the night at home with family and of course the love of our lives...Cammie :)

Cammie did ring in the new year in her jumper...once the tree was down we could finally get it out so she could play in it.  She is definitely a fan...LOVES it! :)
