Playtime + Cam's First Haircut!!

Cam got these busy balls for Christmas, and she LOVES them. So cute! Ps... She looks so grown up in this picture...

"Mom, just let me PLAY!"

"Oh Love Bug... you are the best."

"On second thought... this show on TV is the best..."

Look at that stinking cute cape!!! We took her to a place here in Bountiful called Cookie Cutters. It was so cute- Rich was in charge of pictures.... and he didn't get a good shot of what Cam's sitting on!! It was a little pink car!! So cute- it had a steering wheel she kept trying to grab onto. Also, at each station there was a TV and you got to pick what movie you wanted to watch! Cam chose a Baby Einstein DVD.

What a pro- she just sat there like a big girl, watching her show.

Not even a blow dryer phases this kid (maybe because I've been blow drying her hair since she was 3 1/2 months old!). The hair dresser was very impressed. She also commented on how much body Cam's hair has already. Sorry Cam... I promise I'll buy you a hair straightener.

Christmas (and Cam is Seven Months!)



We went to Vegas for Christmas (like we usually do) and since this was the first time we've all been together in 2 years, we took some cute family pictures!!!

All the girls together.

Christmas morning- Cam is so excited!!!

Mmmm... Yummy presents!

(Don't mind my hand) Cam with her stocking that I made for her- is she not the cutest ever? Look at that joy!!

All her presents by our tiny Christmas tree.

Seriously, these presents are de-lish!

Isn't that so cute?? She was seriously SO excited to have all these presents!

And now, on to Cam's highlights:

*She weighs 19 lbs!!!!

*She is still a happy kid! (She gave us a scare on my birthday, where she was NOT pleasant. She fought her naps and in 8 hours only slept 20 mins! We feared our sweet baby had left us forever!)

*She loves table food more than baby food. Her favorites are broccoli, pasta, mashed potatoes, breads, and tomatoes.

*She sleeps without being swaddled!!! Yay!!!

*She is a professional sitter now- and LOVES to play with her toys.

*She is getting interested in crawling, but scoots backwards.

*Still loves bath time.

*Loves reading books, but wants to chew on them.

*Loves being in the car.

*Loves watching me put make up on. (What a girl!)

*Has renewed her love for "Love Bug." (This toy we got at my CA baby shower. You press a button and it plays Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and the cheeks light up and flash red...) She smiles like CRAZY for it, and then chews on it.

*Likes to look at herself in the mirror.

*Likes when you pretend to drop her.

*Rarely laughs. Smiles all the time, but laughter is very rare.

*And last, but not least, she is still a super napper. Yay for this!!

We are so in love with this girl!!! She is so much fun, and getting more fun every day!!!

Cam is SIX MONTHS OLD!!!!!

And as an official "big girl," Camryn shows off her sitting skills! (She is pretty good at this... but her new thing is arching her back when she is bored, so she falls... live and learn.)

But as long as we put a "sitting up toy" in front of her, she does a pretty good job!

Cam loves her daddy *(notice his toe to the right... she was smiling at him!)

She really wants to learn to crawl. But I am not ready for it yet.

Sitting like a big girl in her high chair from Grandma and Grandpa B. She LOVES it!!

Mmmm.... Sweet Potato!! (Imagine a creepy Oprah voice... did everyone see that clip on the soup?? watch it here)
I love how she holds on to the side of her seat like she is afraid of letting go. She does this in her car seat too.

Still loves her bath!!

Don't be jealous of my baby's B cups... haha. SO cute!!

All clean and ready for bed!!!

What can I say about my little Cramryn??

*she LOVES dogs!! *Well... she loves the one dog she's met. It was a half chihuahua/ half pug named Titus. She loved to pet him, and kiss him, and now for some reason, she pants ALL THE TIME *no joke.

*She loves baby food (pretty much any kind).

*She eats her toes

*Loves getting her teeth brushed

*Talks to herself when she wakes up from naps (it's pretty cute).

*Down to 3 naps a day! *as opposed to like 5. haha

*Kicks her feet when she gets excited

*She gives HUGS!! Oh my gosh, this is my favorite. When you get her out of her crib, she wraps her arms around you and cuddles for a few seconds. SO cute.

*She loves being around other people

*Loves the car

*She's getting better about eating food with texture (like crumbled up cracker, bread, even tried *and loved* tomato tonight!)

*She loves music

*She likes when you show her the gum in your mouth

*She loves drinking water out of the bottom of a straw

*We joke that she says "hello." haha... she makes the sounds "heh ooo" when she's talking to herself.

*She is still a good sleeper at night, waking up just once (or sometimes not at all) to eat.

*She is STILL (knock on wood!) such a happy kid!!! I love it- the girl never cries-- sometimes she'll cry when we put her to bed, but that is it. Seriously, she is the best baby ever.

I can't believe my little baby is already six months old- that went by too fast!! I know these next six months will zoom by, and pretty soon my sweet baby will be a crazy toddler walking around and getting into everything. Please please please can someone slow this down?? (I'm not ready for her to be mobile!!!)

We love having Camryn in our little family!

Five Months Old, and TWO teeth!!

Can you see it?? (Click to enlarge)

Yes, Miss Camryn has not one, but TWO teeth. AHHH!! (Don't worry, she hasn't bitten me yet.) On Oct. 29, I was letting her chew on my finger, when I felt something in her mouth. At first I thought our neighbor's little girl had fed her a Cheerio. But no, it was a teeny, tiny little tooth. At not even 5 months old. And then a week later, out popped the one next to it!! I must admit, it is pretty much the cutest thing I've ever seen. We are working on getting better pictures of the teeth, but every time our hands get near her mouth, she sticks out her tongue.

Ok, so this is kind of a weird picture, but I was peeking on Cam a few minutes after I put her down for a nap, and this is what I saw. Hahah... she was just hanging out in her crib, feet in the air, chatting away. I loved it!!
This little lady loves to read her Princess and Fairy books!!

I love how she is looking at me like, "Uhh... Can I help you with something?"

Cam's Five Month Highlights:

*Blowing raspberries. We have a lot of fun with that one.

*Rolling from back to tummy (I have a video of this, but the computer crashed while I was uploading it, so we'll do videos another time.). She does this all the time---even during a diaper change!

*She softly smacks her lips. Kind of like a fish. It's cute.

*She twirls my hair in her fingers while I feed her. (Sweetest thing you'll never see!)

*She loves Baby Mozart. As soon as the little caterpillar comes across the screen, she flashes it the biggest smile!!!

*She is working on sitting up. We practice on our bed so the landing is a little softer.

*She loves brushing her teeth.

*She puts everything in her mouth.

*She is not so much fun at church. Not terrible by any means, but we usually have to wake her up from a morning nap for our 10am church, and then she is awake until mid Sunday School, where she sometimes falls asleep, and then.... the STUPID BELL rings to signal the end of class and she is wide awake and hungry. Which means we make it to about 15 mins of Relief Society before I have to go feed (and usually change) her. Getting us back for the last 10 minutes. AHHH. **Don't get me started on the irreverence of bells at church. I didn't grow up with it, and think it is ridiculous. Set a timer on your watch or phone if you tend to run over with your lessons!!!**

*She still loves bath time. (And doesn't even cry or fuss when we get water in her eyes. We let some fall in her eyes when we rinse her hair so she gets used to it... we aren't raising a wuss!)

*She HATES homemade baby food, but loves it if it comes from a jar. I pureed squash for her, and she gagged a few times and then puked. So I bought Gerber squash to see if she'd take that better, and she DOWNS it. I'm thinking my food processor doesn't get it smooth enough for her. She pretty much gags on anything with texture.

*So far it seems like she prefers veggies over fruits (just like her mom!). Her favorites are carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes.

*She is generally very happy when she wakes up. As soon as she sees the person sent in to rescue her from her crib, she smiles and usually blows raspberries. (Pretty stinking cute.)

*Still won't take a bottle, so we have tried a rubber nipple sippy cup, but she just bites down on it and gets water on her shirt.

*Still naps around the clock. (REALLY loving this one!)

*Still loves the car.

*Still loves being swaddled to sleep.

*Is a big fan of her daddy when he comes home from work, but nothing beats mom. (AKA "the milk train")

*She has lots of nicknames- Bink, Binker Do, Cam, Crammen, Baby Cama-ren, Cram-ma-ren, Cramryn, Baby, Baby Girl... It's a wonder the girl actually figured out her real name and responds to it!

*She loves to chew on paper.

*She's still such a happy, mellow baby. We make 'em good I tell ya!!!


I can't believe in less than a month my baby will be half a year old!?!?!? Can someone slow down the time please??

Just Because She's Cute...

Today after church we laid her in this little floor mat while we changed out of church clothes. When we walked into her room, she was asleep with all the lights and music playing!! Tired baby!

This is Cam. These are her fingers. She eats them all.day.long.

She is such a happy girl.

If she is not chewing on her hands, she drools... Want to know why??? SHE HAS A TOOTH!!! (Pictures of that one eventually. She tries to lick our fingers when we attempt to get a glimpse of it.)

She likes tummy time if someone else does it with her.

This is Cam squawking.
This is Mom eating Cam's face. We do this a lot. She loves it. So do I.

Cam likes to be Super Baby.

And this is the look Cam gives us as soon as we pull the camera out. Boredom/confusion. Bye for now!
