Anthropologie

Since Cami was born I've been obsessed with Anthropologie. The two have nothing to do with eachother of course, but I walked into a store back in November - during Cami's first trip to the Spectrum - and fell in love with about 20 different tops immediately. I'm now spreading out to other sections of the store and my newest fav is their kitchen items. I'm loving this bowl and have decided to slowly work some of their cute bowls, mugs and accessories (like dishtowels) into my kitchen decor.

Football, Ballet & a Visit to the Doctor

We've been busy with 'life' so its been hard for me to find time to blog this month. One of the kids always seems to need me. For example, right now Grace is taking her nap but Cami is lying in her pack-n-play across the room wondering where I am and why I'm not playing with her :)

Last night Jen and Paige had dinner with us while the guys watched football. Little Paige is growing up so fast. She and Grace had a great time playing with G's toys! They pushed eachother in the stroller and loved pretend vaccuming and ironing Grace's clothes. Daddy's team (the Jets) didn't win but he didn't seem too too sad afterwards.Grace has been busy with her dance classes, school and playdates. I've been busy running and spinning when I'm not watching the girls and Daddy's SUPER busy with work, school, watching the girls and P90X.

Camryn had her 6-8 week check up today along with a few shots. She's in the 80th percentile for height and weight - my big girl. She still has a pretty bad flat spot on the left back-side of her head and the doctor said I need to make sure she shifts her weight to the other side most of the time or else she will be referred to the pediatric neurosurgeon at her 6th month appointment. I'm going to try my best......but 90% of the time.....come on....that's going to be hard! Wish us luck ;-)

This weather has been awesome; we spend a lot of early evenings with the neighborhood kids jumping on Maya and Bella's trampoline or playing in the cul de sac. I hope it lasts...I'm actually getting a pretty good tan on my face, arms and chest!

Some Cami Pics - 3.5 months

We have all had colds since New Years, what a bummer. I hope we're all on the path to recovery. I know Grace and Mike are.....Cami and I are right behind them :)

Happy 3-months-old Cami

Cami turned 3 months old yesterday. She is the sweetest baby and almost always has a smile on her face. At 3 months Cami, you:

• Drink 4 to 4.5 ounce bottles every 2-3 hours during the day and you LOVE your food.

• Weigh about 13 pounds and wear #2 diapers. You are bigger than Grace was at this age.


• Coo and gurgle (talk) to us.


• Have had your first cold already.


• Take lots of 'short' naps throughout the day...just like Grace did.


• Have slept through the night a couple times lately if we feed you at about 10:30 pm. Otherwise you wake up once, generally around 3 or 4 am, and wake up for the day at 7 am. I wish Grace would sleep in until 7 am with you!!


• Love to smile at everyone!!!! You started smiling way early.


• Are very good about being dragged around to all of Grace's activities.


• Like to be held and want to face forward so you don't miss the action.


• Are starting to reach for toys and enjoy looking at your hands and feet.


• Like to watch the colors and movement of the TV. Yes, I put her in front of the TV to buy myself some time occasionally (bad mommy)


• Love your sister and her constant entertainment.


• Like the Papasan seat better than the swing but you're starting to tolerate the swing better.


• Enjoy watching Rosco (maybe because he's black and white so easy to see?)


• Are more content awake than Grace was as a baby


• Are still wrapped up in your swaddle when you sleep, but fight it to get that hand out and into your mouth.

• You love your mobile in your crib and will watch it for a good 20 minutes at least a couple times a day.

• We are moving you into your room this week, whoo hooo, you'll do great.

We love you little monkey. You bring a lot of joy to our family :)

Happy New Year...surprise, I'm 35!

Happy New Year!! We had a great NYE celebration because not only was it New Years Eve, but I turned 35. 35 - wow, where has the time gone?!!! Grace went to Nana and Papa's and they went out to dinner, looked at Xmas lights on Balboa Island, and played games in their jammies. Cami went to Grandma and Papa's and gave them lots of smiles and love. Mike and I went to our nearby favorite Italian restaurant and enjoyed a whole night at home A-L-O-N-E. It was a great celebration and we all went to Grandma and Papa's on New Years to fry a turkey and celebrate New Years and my birthday. I hope 2011 is a great year for everyone...filled with health, peace, happiness and personal success. It will be a big year for us as we enjoy watching the girls grow - especially Cami - since so much changes in 1 year for a baby.
