I once heard a dog trainer explain that when you have something a dog wants, they will offer you their most prized possession as a trade for the item you hold. Saddie, our big girl, has tried this trade with us on many occasions since we have brought Cami home from the hospital. Each time we are holding the baby, Saddie will bring her toy, The Suspicious Chicken, and drop it at our feet. Apparently she thinks we will then give her the baby. This plan of Saddie's fails each time. So now she has resorted to trying to give Cami the toy. Her plan has still not worked--but it made for a great picture!!
You know, it's funny really. I was the one to carry her for nine months, and deal with neasea, sleepless nights and an expanding waist line. I was the one that had to get the epidural, dialate to 10 centimeters and deliver her. I am the one who wakes up in the middle of the night to feed her. And yet--she ADORES her daddy. I never thought I would be okay with watching my husband fall in love with another girl--but it is such a blessing to watch.
Here she is during one of my favorite times of the day: bath time. She is so cute when we take her out of the tub and put the towel around her!!
A day that I will never forget. After a fairly pain free labor (God bless the epidural), Cameron Juliet came into the world (with the help of forceps) at 1:42 PM and forever changed our lives.
This picture was a gift for my husband's birthday in July--2 weeks before I gave birth! I took it all by myself which was quite a feat running back and forth before the timer went off!
