Camilicious

Everytime I go to post I realize how time is flying by. For two weeks now you have been in your crib with the matteress down. When we first put you in there you were so smaller and just stared around like a girl in prison...looking and touching the bars that were previously hidden by the winnie the pooh bumper in your crib. Now, about two weeks later you move around in there are ALMOST pull yourself up to stand.

It has been 10 days since you officially crawled. You were moble before in your reach, move butt, shuffle, reach, dive forward, sit, move butt, shuffle act...but then Thursday night (10 days ago) you crawled. You aren't on all 4s...you can tell your knees don't love that...you are more of a wounded soldier (a term we use fondly to describe you method) on foot, dragging the other leg behind.

You are a little explorer, different from your sis, enjoying the feeling of sand on your feet, loving the touch of grass but also knowing a soft blanket is better than a rough rug any day of the week.

You continue to wave and give smiles to just about anyone who gives you attention. You have tons of sounds and test your vocal cords and your different volumes and noises often. You are still a conent baby and tolerate your sisters touching and poking pretty well. You always end up crying or squalking - but guess you need to get used to it now :-)

Dinner time is fun. You love yogurt and most baby food. But so far you are vegetarian. One night of meat (which you ate in record time), then a major vomit, and since then no meat. Aunt TT even made you baby food - fit enough for a queen with spices and rice and meat - you took one bite (well not even!), spit it back at me and wouldn't open your mouth again until morning. Guess I better brush up on my veggie skills for you and your sister.

Love you, Mom
