Yeah toast!!!

Cammie decided to join her mom and dad for breakfast this morning (we are trying to get in the habit of eating at the table again...I know that sounds so crazy, but especially during baseball season life is so crazy we just get in a bad habit of eating on the couch or standing at the counter :(  She enjoyed her first piece of toast while I ate cereal and Chris ate eggs and toast.  To say she loved it was an understatement....she thought she was big stuff eating real food. She is a mess!

Yummy! :)

    

Allergies

     Allergies have hit our house HARD this year! :(  Cammie and I have been a mess this week dealing with puffy eyes, runny noses, coughing, sneezing....you name it!  Her symptoms seemed to get worse as the week went on, so we headed to the doctor on Thursday to make sure her ear pulling wasn't anything serious.  Dr. Morgan checked her out and said her ears and throat looked great (Thank goodness!) and the splotchiness under her eyes, on her face and little bit on her thighs is just a reaction her sensitive skin is having to the allergies.  We started Claritin on Thursday and hope the pollens, mold, etc. calm down in the next few weeks so she can be off it and back to her old self!  

Swing, swing, swing

     Today, Chris and I decided to take Cammie to the park so she could swing for the very first time.  We planned to take her after church and lunch early this afternoon, but she fell asleep on the way. :(  Once Camryn woke up from her nap we decided to try again!  Although Camryn has not been in the best mood this weekend, she was quite a fan of the swing!  She laughed and laughed as she went back and forth.

Love this face....

Camryn and her daddy

So fun! :)

  
Sidenote: As I was thinking of a title for this post my favorite song from church popped into my head, "Sing, sing, sing and make music with the heavens....we will sing, sing, sing grateful that you hear us"....Cammie used to hear that song so often when she was still in my belly...to say I LOVED to hear Mark sing that at church was an understatement....I miss him so much!

Teeth???

     Our little princess has not been herself the past few days.....after 3 days of extra fussiness, being overly tired (but not wanting to sleep by herself) and a little unhappy Chris and I think she may be working on her top teeth.  Earlier today she was chewing on a toy and when she bumped her top gum she just lost it. :(  The tears, screams and sad face were in full force!  My poor baby....I hope things get better soon!  I miss my happy girl (and I know her dad does too)!

Fun with friends

We decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and head to the zoo with some of our favorite friends today.  Chrissie, Tara, Isaac, Meghan, Maddie, Camryn and I (along with the rest of Kentuckiana :) all went together and had a great time!  We enjoyed watching the sea lions, elephants, camels, giraffes, and lions enjoy the weather as well.  What a great day...makes us VERY ready for summer!

Amie, Camryn, Meghan and Maddie...we were LOVING the warm weather!

Amie, Camryn and Isaac....he is going to be such a heartbreaker...LOVE this little guy!

Big Stuff

          These days Camryn is big stuff!!  She is...

• clapping her hands (and of course anyone around shouts, "Yay!" and claps with her) 
• waving bye-bye
• taking big girl baths (no more baby tub)!
• beginning to feed herself












Puffs = Yummy! :)


• so, sO, SO close to crawling...she has the mechanics down and the strength, but hasn't yet put the two together! She can however "move" (roll, scoot, etc.) to get what or where she wants.
• learning how to drink from a cup....each day she shows a little bit more interest in it than the day before



I am trying to like it...

• going to the YMCA daycare (well she went for the first time on Thursday...loved every second of it of course...Nosy Nelly :)
• playing by herself (for short periods of time...she would much rather you be right there! :)

Playing with my computer from the toy fairy (a.k.a Aunt Tammy :)

BRUUUUUCE

Cheering for Jay BRUUUUCE! :)

 Baseball time has FINALLY arrived!!!  As many of you know we LOVE baseball in our house (as I told someone earlier this week I had to choose to love or hate it....baseball can be a very loooong season, so this girl chose to embrace and love it! :)

Lovin' the Reds!

      Chris' team hasn't officially started playing games, so we decided to celebrate opening weekend of baseball with The Reds!  Chris, Nick, Chrissie and I headed to Cincinnati for opening night on Saturday.  The four of us had a blast!!! Loved watching our boys in red pull out their second win and having tons of fun altogether (brought back memories of The Reds trip that linked us for life...a little sad that those kind of days are gone :(.  Unfortunately Cammie couldn't go with us (very cool and windy night, in addition to the HUGE crowd), but she wore her Red's gear proudly!  

     We are so, sO, SO excited to see baseball season begin...that means spring is officially here and summer is just around the corner! :)

The 3 girlies :) Go Reds!
