Feeling Better

Well, I think we have finally conquered this cold! Cami is back to her adorable, rascaly self these days, as you can tell. She loves to walk around in circles in this toy. Also, if you look closely, you can see THREE bottom teeth coming in at once!! She is such a show-off.

Happy Easter!!

Well, we didn't make it to see the Easter Bunny this year, or to church, or to dinner with the family. Since Cami is still battling the cold from hell we stayed in all day. Good thing we had had a fashion shoot of her in her Easter dress last week before getting sick. So we'll just all pretend these were taken on Easter--okay??

Mister Neb

My baby has a cold. When I took her to the doctor's office yesterday to confirm it was in fact just a cold, we left with a parting gift I never wanted: Mister Neb. That is literally the name on the box. It's a nebulizer to help her breathing. Although she does just have a cold, apparently the mucus in her chest in making it difficult to breathe. So now every four hours we use Mister Neb. Cami has been quite a trooper about it-- the best sick baby I know. Yet it has all taken a toll on her mommy. As strong as I try to be, and although it is ONLY A COLD-- I cannot stand to see her in pain. I want to take on all of her symptoms so that she does not have to feel them. Yet, I can't. I guess this is a great motherhood lesson--not taking away our kids' problems, but helping them through them--it's just hard!! Cami has already responded well to her breathing treatments, and I know that "this too shall pass".

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

DIVA in Training

Need I really say more?

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall

Although Cami has seen many mirrors before, when I showed her this mirror today, she totally freaked out. She screamed with delight and tried to touch her reflection. Then she proceeded to stare at herself.....at length. Let's just say these pictures were taken twenty minutes apart--honestly. (Those of you who know me may find some humor in her behavior). She was just perfectly content to lay in her crib and stare at her reflection all day. Let's hope she is as fond of her reflection during her teenage years!!!

Baby's First Valentine's Day

Cameron had many people to call her Valentine this year. In addition to her Mommy and Daddy, she got presents from her Grandmommy and Poppi too! She seemed to be more interested in the balloon than the adorable talking dog they got her. Typical, but cute all the same.

Good Clean Fun

Just some pics of bathtime. It is always a kick to see Cameron in the tub. She has enjoyed bathtime since she was an infant. She also liked wearing the beautiful robe and bunny slippers Aunt Lynnie and Uncle Clay bought her.

Six Months Going on 6 Years!

Chris and I had to go to our accountant's office yesterday, so I used this as an opportunity to dress Cami up and take her out. After I finished putting on her jeans, and sweatshirt (thanks Aunt Bridget!) and shoes, I stopped to look at her and realized--she is all grown up. She sat in the chair examining her outfit, looking like quite a little lady. She really isn't a baby anymore--but a little girl with a bit of the devil in her eye. I don't know what it was about seeing her in jeans that put me over the edge, but I now have visions of her stepping on the school bus to go to 1st grade already!!

Look, Ma! No Hands!! (Playtime)

Cameron Juliet can now stand on her own--well, with the help of the ottoman, that is. I also needed to capture her beautiful Buddah belly as she played with her rings.
