She's Writing Her First Memoir

So my daughter may not say a whole lot of words, but oh my, are her motor skills advanced! I got a hint of this at six months when she was feeding herself with a spoon. And she was fully walking on her own by 10 months. Now, at 13 months, she is actually holding a pen correctly! She can even make some scribbles on the paper! She is also very close to being able to put her shoes on--she is still trying to master the socks, however--they can be a bit tricky. I think my favorite part of this video though, is Chris' running commentary. I do feel excited as Cami may finally be showing parts of Mommy in her personality--like her love for reading and writing, but alas, my husband's personality always seems to poke through too-- as shown by her irreverant foot on the desk.

Golfer In Training

All of Chris' hopes and dreams may come true after all!! Cami is really taking to golf. She get very excited whenever Daddy puts in the living room. She gleefully chases after each and every golf ball and brings it back to him. She also picks up her mini-putter quite often to play with. College scholarship, here we come!!

Sums it Up

This picture really sums up our lives as of late. We are all EXHAUSTED! I am still trying to get back into the swing of things at school, though I must admit, it feels good to be back. Cami is fighting some sort of cold with a low grade fever. Plus she now has FOUR molars. I thought 13 months was young for these, but apparently not. She is really getting into the swing of "school" and has started to smile and laugh while she is there. This was such good news for all of us! She is being such a trooper in dealing with her new schedule, but she is so tired. And Chris is still plugging away hard at work (and golf while the weather still allows). We are quite a team these days.

Riding Bikes

Cami, her Daddy and I have been taking advantage of the nice weather by going on bike rides around the neighborhood. Cami is a trooper sitting on the front of the bike and even wearing her helmet!

Favorite Places (Year 2)

Although Cami still enjoys hanging out in the refrigerator, she now has a new favorite place: outside on the front step. She likes to stay out here for long stretches of time, just watching the neighborhood happenings. Too cute.

First Day of School

I was unable to freeze time, and so, Cami had to start "school" this past week. We are calling it "school" instead of daycare in an effort to prevent Mommy from having a total and complete nervous breakdown as she returns to work. I am happy to report, however, that so far, so good! Cami is doing well at school and likes playing outside with her classmates. Mommy is also doing well returning to work. Hopefully next week will be as successful as the first. These are some pics of us on our first big day!! You can tell by the look in Cami's eye that she new something strange was going on.

Me and My Daddy

It has been a little challenging to blog these last couple of weeks, as we have been preparing for some huge changes in our household. So I thought I would catch everyone up on some of the latest happening around Casa Anderson.

Cami continues to be a little "mini-me" to Chris. She just adores him and vice versa, and I think these pics show that affection.
