Wow! It's amazing to me how much Camryn has changed each month since she was born...and in a blink she's a year and a half! Here's what we're enjoying so much now that she's 18 months:
- She has curls in the back of her hair. She hasn't had a haircut yet, which daddy's itching to do, but I'm totally holding off - I can finally put her hair in pigtails. She looks so adorable when her curly pigtails bounce up and down when she runs.
- Camryn loves baby dolls and carries one around the house and out and about wherever she can. She changes, feeds, cuddles and puts her baby to bed. Just this week she started singing to the baby too. Oh, melt my heart!
- She talks (babbles) a lot, and usually repeats one word out of a sentence when we talk. I will say "Cami, do you want to sit on the couch" and she'll say "Ouch" (couch) confirming the question. Or "let's go eat" and she'll say "eat". I think she actually talks quite well for her age.
- She says "Ay" for "yes"...it's hilarious to hear my child talk like a pirate.
- I'm putting money down that she'll be a breeze to potty train. Right now, every time she goes #1 or #2 she announces "poopy" and points to her diaper. Sometimes she'll even bring the diaper pad out of her room, along with her diaper, spread it out on the floor and lay herself down on the pad. I may be a little bias, but I think that's pretty darn amazing!
- Camryn has always been a good sleeper and especially good at going to bed. Our nighttime routine consists of picking up toys and then we tell her it's time for ni-night. She walks into her room, helps me turn off the lights, turn on her CD, we say bedtime prayers and she goes right to sleep.
- She has twelve teeth. 4 on top, 4 on bottom and 4 molors.
I could go on and on. Each day is so amazing. Her personality lights up the room when she's in a good mood or a bad one. Along with all the joys she brings, she's showing us her temper lately too. She's starting to throw some good fits and is starting to test our parenting abilities. Lord, help us with this persistent child! But the fits usually only last a little bit and she's back to her joyful self. She's a social butterfly like her mommy and daddy and definitely makes herself known wherever she is. When we go to the mall, she stops and says "Hell-oo" to everyone she sees. She says hello just like that Seinfeld episode...those of you who know what I'm talking about are chuckling right now. The best for us is when we come into a room and she says "mommy" or "daddy" and happily runs toward our arms. Words can't describe the way that tickles my heart.
Love you Cami! Happy year and a half!
