Camri's Stats

Here she is playing with her food toys that she got for her birthday.

She still likes her ratty Lovey bunny better than any of the new toys she got for her birthday.

I thought she looked so cute in this dress, but she always looks cute to me. ( I'm a little biased)

I took Camri to the doctor this past week for her year old check up and she is doing great! She weighed in at a whopping 20 lbs. 4 oz ( 25%) Length 30 inches (75%) and her head circumfrence was also in the 75% ile. She walks, runs (although I think this is a lack of control rather than motor ability!!), dances and climbs. She says : mama, dada, no, off, on, uh-oh, nana (banana), hi, woah! and num-num ( for food) . She signs eat, all done, drink, milk, and more. ( She only signs on occasion now that she is talking more...) She is even starting to listen when I tell her "no", though more often she chooses not to listen! She is so bright and we love her so much and are so thankful for the joy that she brings into our lives! If you made it this far, thanks for listening to a proud mama brag!!

Our Thanksgiving

Michele with her cute boys, and a darling little girl that she tends, Olivia.

Camri and I at the Glascow's beautiful house! It was sooo nice!

What night is complete without a little dog pille on Steve? I don't know who was having more fun, the boys or Steve!

This is Camri's new best friend. She absoloutely LOVED Chris. Stared at him and followed him around all night long, and he was so good to her! ( He even tucked her into her carseat when we had to leave, such a sweetie!)

We were able to visit Steve's grandparents and aunt who live about 2.5 hours away, we had a lot of fun and the food was amazing! Thanks to Michele and Chris for all their work, and for being such gracious hosts. Steve and I are so thankful to have family close by!

Before and After

I wanted you all to see the before and after birthday cake pictures. The first two are "before" and the last two "after". ( Like you couldn't figure it out!)

Party Pictures

Camri with Ashley. She just loves her!

Camri's favorite thing to do right now is give Kylee smooches. I don't think Kylee feels the same though!

Here she is about to start opening presents.

I dunno what she was doing here but it looks funny!

Opening Presents

Camri opened her presents first, and she loved everything!

She loved the doggie the Staffords got her!

And the riding pony from Grammy Sonja...

And the cute outfits from Grammy Carolyn....
This girl was seriously spoiled rotten!! Thanks everyone!!

Camri's Birthday Face ( of Frosting!)

Here are her cake faces... She was so cute, diving into the cake!

Camri's Birthday Face ( of Frosting!) Part Two

Here are the pictures of her diving into her birthday cake. I must say that I thought she would have been more aggressive with it but she daintily licked every ounce of frosting off the cake, not bothering with the cake it self. There were so many cute pictures it took up two posts. Sorry for the repetition!

The Afterparty

After we all had our fill of cake, we started playing Guitar Hero. Jase and Camri were jamming out to the music, it was so funny so I thought I would post the video. I guess the kids had a bit of sugar running through them by that time. All in all we had a great time! Thanks so much to everyone who came and made it such a fun night for our family!!

How to Eat a Pancake!

Sneaky, sneaky!!

This girl loves her pancakes!!

This Saturday, as always we made Norwegian pancakes. We were dumb enough to leave the stack a little too close to Camri's highchair and this is what we saw when we turned to look

at her. She had stolen the pancake right off the table and was shoving the whole thing into her mouth as fast as she could. We thought it was awfully cute. ( She washed this pancake down with another.... she eats like her daddy!)

Some Videos for Fun!

Today on the "Today Show", David Archuletta, last years runner up on American Idol graced the stage to sing his new hit single "Crush". Most of the time Camri doesn't pay a bit of attention to the t.v. but this morning when she saw him she was watching him pretty intently! She sat down to play and when he started singing she was laughing and pointing to the t.v. and rocking back and forth. By the time I grabbed the camera to record it she was content just watching him and rocking to the music, but it still made me laugh. I was always a David Cook fan but apparently she is an Archuletta fan!

I was tickling Camri the other night and she was busting a gut! I have never heard her laugh so hard. By the time we got the camera she had stopped with the hysterics but it's still cute to hear little giggles from her. Enjoy!

Like A Queen on Her Thrown!

Papa Steve sent Camri an early birthday present, a really cute pink rocking chair for her to read ( or rather, right now... eat) her books in. I have been anxiously awaiting the chair and made room in her bedroom for it and it is so stinking cute! I don't know who's happier, Camri or Mommy. Thanks Papa Steve! Our little queen loves her new throne!

Trick Or Treat!!

Camri had a spooktastic Halloween, she loved walking around with her squeaky shoes, we couldn't stop her from walking all over the place. ( Or hold still long enought to get a decent photo)

Here is our little butterfly. Isn't she just as cute as a bug?

Jonathan, Landon, Camri, and of course, her best friend Drew. Drew noticed that Camri hadn't got much candy from the trunk or treat so he gave her a handful of his! No wonder she loves him so much! What a great friend, and such a sweetie! Camri had fun playing with all of her friends at the church.

Halloween Pics

Debbie, Kylee, Camri and Mommy hanging out at the trunk-or-treat at the church. Kylee was a pea in a pod and Camri was a butterfly, they were so cute!

Camri loved wearing her squeaky shoes so much that she kept walking right away from him and he would have to drag her back into the room. For once, she didn't want to be picked up!

Camri didn't get to actually eat the candy, so she settled for just munching on the wrappers of this smartie.
