Musically Inclined

I think Cami may be musically inclined. She loves to play on her toy piano when she visits Grandmommy and Poppi's house. She taps the keys and dances as the songs play (looking very much like a female Jerri Lee Lewis!) She has also figured out how to change the songs tempos from fast to slow, and quickly looks to her Grandmom for an approving dance when she has found a good one. Technically she has music in her genes. Her Great-grandfather Angelo (Dad's dad) was a natural musician, played by ear, and was in the string band, Ferko. And of course, Cami's daddy is also a natural musician, self-taught on the bass, piano and guitar. One of Cami's favorite times of the day is when Daddy comes home from work and plays the guitar for her. She claps her hands, dances, wiggles, and even tries to strum the strings. During the day when Daddy is at work, Cami will often crawl over to the guitar, look at it, strum the strings, and look sadly at her Mommy, whom she knows cannot play it at all.

Favorite Places

The more Cameron crawls and "cruises", the more fun places she finds to play (as you can see by the Cherios post). Lately if I open the refridgerator, no matter where she is or what she is doing, she comes a runnin'! Cami can play in the fridge for quite a long time--until we pull her out. I thought her daddy took some pretty artistic pictures of this.

Cherri-UH-OH!!

This is how my morning started.

My little rascal.....what can I say?

My favorite is the first pic. It's an "action shot" where you can see the Cherrios fly through the air.

She's Clapping Her Hands

It's hard to put into words the utter joy I feel when my daughter reaches a milestone--or does anything new for that matter! Monday night at dinner with the Grandmommy and Poppi, Cami clapped her hands for the first time. I thought my heart would explode with excitement and joy. I finally (and barely) caught it on video today. If I get this excited about hand-clapping imagine how I will be when she wins an Oscar, or the Nobel Peace Prize!!

Practically a Genius

Okay, so maybe genius is too strong of a word. It did take her over a minute to complete the task, and technically she did need two tries, and she was more interested in the camera than with giving me the cow--but still--she did it!!! Clearly see is going to be a rocket scientist.
