The Little Things

Sometimes we just need to get out of the house. I love to walk, but it has been too cold outside to go on a walk with Camille. So we often go to Target or Walmart or the Mall. We went to the mall the other day and just strolled through the stores. I love window shopping. Lucky for Kevin I am not an impulse buyer. I hardly ever buy anything. But I love to look at things. While we were walking around, we saw the little kiddie rides. I thought Camille might like a ride, and I had a dollar so why not right? 

I hope to be able to do fun little things like this every once in a while, because we don't always get to do fun things. Camille chose to ride the little bus ride. She was really liking it, and then I started the ride and she was really concerned. Once the ride was going for a minute she really started to enjoy it. She was pushing the buttons and holding the steering wheel. It was so cute. I just love Camille so much. 

Camille- 13 months

Hooray for having a 13 month old! Today my parents came up to Idaho Falls out of the blue to hang out with us. It just so happened that Camille turned 13 months today. They took us out to Texas Roadhouse and played with us all day. It was so nice of them to make the fast trip up and back just to hang out with us. Camille has got the best grandparents.

Camille has got the sweetest personality. She can say grandpa, banana, da da, and ma ma. Although if you ask her to say ma ma, she usually just says da da. If you ask her where the monkey is, she points to herself. It is just the cutest thing. She has two pairs of pajamas that have monkeys on them. I was showing her the monkeys and we were pointing at them. Later we took her pajamas off and asked her where the monkey was, and she still pointed to herself. Now she thinks that she is the monkey. It is so cute.

When we put music on Camille will start dancing. She doesn't do her rigid dancing as much anymore. now she will turn in circles to dance. It is so precious. She sometimes goes in so many circles that she makes herself dizzy. It is sweet. She is just so innocent.

This last month she got two new teeth. The top two teeth. I am happy she is getting more teeth, so that she can eat a more variety of food.It was unfortunate that she had to get them while she was super sick. So she was sick, and teething at the same time. It was a rough couple of days.

Camille can stack three blocks on top of each other. Can you believe it? I feel like that is pretty amazing. She really likes it when I stack the blocks on top of each other and then she can push them over. We say,"uh oh", then do it all over again.

Camille can show you where her head is and where her toes are. If you ask her where her nose is, she is typically grab her ears, but if you ask her where Mom's nose is, then she can find my nose.

She is one sweet and smart cookie. I love you Camille!

My sick baby

Camille got sick for the first time in her life. I really feel blessed that it was after a year. I have a friend right now and her son has RSV right now and he is just a newborn. For Camille being born in January, we really missed a lot of sickness. I feel very grateful for that.

It is unfortunate that she got sick though. Two nights ago we woke up every hour during the night. She was so sick. When she woke up we went immediately and got some medicine. She had a fever, runny nose, and cough.

She is feeling better now, but we have been doing a lot of snuggling. I have secretly liked it. She fell asleep on my chest for 5 hours today. It was sweet. I miss when she would snuggle for so long. I have been very sad that she hasn't slept well at night and hasn't been feeling well, but I sure do love the extra snuggles.

Camille I love you. And I know I won't always be perfect, and probably not very cool, but I will always love you and always take care of you the best that I can.

Swimming

We went swimming this week with some friends from the ward. They own the neighborhood pool, and invited us to go with them. They are so awesome. They brought pizza and it was a real party. They have two little girls. One that is almost 3, and one that is 9 months old. These two little girls love the water. Tessa (9 months) was seriously just crawling to the water. She crawled in a couple of times. She just loves the water. Blakely (3 years) was so cute. She was just jumping in the water everywhere.

Camille wasn't quite sure about the water. She was cold in the pool water. Once we moved to the hot tub, she just loved it. She started splashing and moving once she was warm. She looked so cute though. It was a bunch of fun to get to know the Hansen's better and to go swimming. It was probably one of the most fun nights I have had in a while. I love swimming. I hope Camille loves it as much as I do someday.
