Camryn and Kozy - getting ready for photos

Daddy was helping get smiles out of Camryn for her Christmas pictures. Whatever he was doing, it got both Cami and Kozy's attention.

We had to take a little break from pictures so Cami could play with Kozy.


"Come on Kozy, get the string!"

My new hiding place

Camryn discovered a new hideout under her excersaucer.

She crawls through it like it's her new mission.

What a big-shot!

Christmas Photos - Too cute!







Playing with Christmas beads

Camryn had a ball playing with the beads that we put on our Christmas tree.

Somebody's having fun!

Visit with Santa

Camryn saw Santa for her first time at mommy's office Christmas party. She loved his beard and sat really still just staring at his red suit. It was really sweet.


Getting all dressed up for the party.

Moose dropped by for a visit - he was all dressed up too. Cami loves animals!


And she even got a little kiss!

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Look who escaped while I was changing her daiper!
She wanted to go say hi to her kitty Cozy. Cozy always brings a big smile to her face.
The best little present under the Christmas tree.

6 months - I'm a big girl now

"Mommy, I'm too big for my bouncy seat!"
Cami was watching her baby video all cuddled up in her bouncer. I left the room for a second and when I came back she was sitting straight up in her seat!
She's such a big shot now that she can sit up!

Camryn's First Halloween

Camryn sat in her high chair by the door as I passed out candy. When the kids would come to the door she was wide-eyed trying to figure out what was going on.
She even helped mommy pass out candy!

And of course when she caught eye of her pumpkin she wanted to hold it. It might be the bright orange color that she likes or maybe she's proud of her fingerpaint decorations.


After the trick-or-treating died down at our house. We made a surprise appearance at Grandma and Grandpa Lesiewicz's house. We put her car seat on the door step, rang the doorbell, and stepped aside so they couldn't see us - Camryn's first time trick-or-treating! And Grandma and Grandpa were so surprised when they saw their little girl at the door.

Grandma and Grandpa Kolzow visit

We dressed up Camryn in her Halloween costume to go see Grandma and Grandpa Kolzow Tuesday before Halloween. We meet up in Kalamazoo to see them - half way between Sturgis and Grand Rapids. Dinner and ice cream is becoming a tradition!

Camryn just lights up when she sees them and now that she knows how to give kisses, she loves to give grandma and grandpa hugs and kisses during our visits.

Andy and Renee Celebrate Halloween

Our Halloween week began on Saturday when Andy and I went out with our good friends while Camryn stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Lesiewicz. I dressed up as Cruella DeVil. And of course Camryn was my little dalmation.

Sunday Football

We had some friends over to watch the Bears Lions game last Sunday - we won't be sharing how the game ended, but we sure had a nice day visiting with everyone.

This is Camryn's friend Madison. Her daddy, Karl, and Andy work together at Valleywood. Madison and Camryn were born on the same day! We love getting the girls together to play. They're both so smart and cute - Look out Karl and Andy!
Camryn and Madison are already sharing toys. What good girls!

Grace and Brayton (mom Julie works with Andy) came over to see Madison and Camryn too.

Fall Photos - 5 and a half months

Camryn decorated her little pumpkin with red and green finger paint. We tried to get her hand print on there, but she preferred to paint with a closed fist.

This was her first time playing in the leaves. She loved the crunchy noise they made and the bright colors. As you can see she was inpecting each leaf that she picked up.

Our little sweetie is as beautiful as this fall has been. We just can't get enough of her! It's amazing how quickly she's changed and how much she's grown already.
