Cami's Latest Trick

Welcome Spring

... or summer is it?  So hard to tell with the beautiful weather we have had.  But spring is officially here and we have no complaints.  Cami is 7 months and BUSY BUSY BUSY.  Her newest trick is pulling herself to a stand and letting go.  She is a daredevil and does her best to keep up with her big brother.  She loves Dylan but unfortunately the feeling is not quite mutual.  Maybe in a few years.  I haven't been good about taking pictures but here are a couple from the past few weeks:

Cami showing us what a big girl she is (in a summer dress on March 15th!)

Saturday celebrating her first St Patricks Day! 

And Dylan loving on his cuz Madeline :)

Dylan is off to San Antonio for a trip with Mimi next week so let's all wish her luck.  Then we are Vegas bound the first week of April.  Hope to have better photos next month!

Happy 1/2 Birthday Cami!

Cami is 6 months old today.  And unfortunately for Dylan and me, she is mobile!  I thought having a newborn was hard?  Now I really have to watch these two every second.  Poor Dylan and his parking lots...

Camilla Jeanne Jumping Bean!

Cami loves to jump.  In her Jenny Jump Up, in my mom's jumperoo, and now in her exersaucer.  You would think all this exercise would exhaust her so she would sleep better.  Well, not so much but oh well.  She is also sitting by herself and scooting backwards on her belly so hopefully she doesn't figure out how to crawl too soon!

Dylan turned 2 1/2 last week so of course we had to celebrate with a cake and a couple of new cars.  Today he enjoyed his first time sledding in our new yard.  Hey, we have to make the most of these cold winter days....



Florida Vacation

Happy Belated 2012!  We rang in the New Year in Tampa Bay.  The panoramic view of fireworks around the bay at midnight was amazing.  Definitely worth staying awake for!  We had a great time.  3 nice days and 3 chilly ones so we got to enjoy the pool and beach as well as the Tampa Zoo, Aquarium, and Children's Museum.  A fun escape from the cold Iowa winter!!!

Here Comes Santa Claus!

Is it really December already?  Dylan is ready for Christmas this year.  We spent last weekend getting in the holiday spirit.  Our tree is up and stockings are hung.  Saturday night we attended the Christmas Walk in the Village (in the pouring rain) so Dylan could sit on Santa's lap.  He is asking for Chick Hicks and Sarge if anyone out there is a 'Cars' fan.  Good thing Mimi is an excellent ebay shopper and already has us covered :) 

 Sunday we went to DCC for Lunch with Santa and all kinds of fun for the kiddos.  Here is Dylan and Cami with Santa & Mrs. Claus...

And last but not least an action shot of the cookie decorating.  We have a Christmas fan already!!!

Halloween 2011

 Lightning McQueen and my little pumpkin

Celebrating my birthday a couple of weeks ago.  Birthdays somehow become fun again with little ones! 

 Cami is growing up so fast.  Her new hobby is hanging out in the walker.  She can't quite touch her feet yet but give her another two months and she will be running around the basement trying to keep up with Dylan!
