Alaina is doing well in preschool - she knows all her letters and is learning to count to 100. She's writing all the time. And reading! Man, does that girl like to read!!! Gymnastics is going great - she's really starting to get the hang of cartwheels and other skills. And she has GREAT toe point!! :) She's been playing in the mud in the backyard the last few weeks too - a muddy girl in a skirt! I'll try to remember to post a picture of her I took with that description.
Cami is now 9 1/2 months old! Can you believe it?! She weighed in at nearly 21 lbs at her 9 mo. check-up! (Alaina, by contrast, weighed 6 lbs less at 9 mos!) She is doing the Army crawl and pulling up on things. She absolutely LOVES to stand and wants to do so all the time now. She is quick on her feet while holding mommy's fingers. She loves to go after Elliott and is chatting up a storm. I'm pretty sure "mama" is her favorite word. When she's not talking or walking, she's learning to eat new foods - she LOVES table food and won't eat her baby food when table food is present. She stopped nursing one morning a week before she was 8 mos. old, so she really thinks she's a big girl now. No more baby stuff for her! She just wants to be like Alaina. She lights up every time Alaina walks in the room or speaks or moves...
A girlfriend of mine, Stacy, is a photographer. She took pictures of Cami for us a couple weeks ago and is getting some online for us to see. You can check out her blog at http://www.bluecandy.typepad.com/. Stacy is who took all those WONDERFUL pictures of Alaina a couple years ago.
Here's a picture of the girls in February rooting for their teams!!!
I have started a new job - blah. Not much to talk about there! :)
We are ready for Spring for sure. Adam's been busy on the house and yard - redoing our kitchen ceiling and making a fence for the garden to keep Boomer out!
I'll try to keep this more current! Keep looking for new pictures as Adam has time to upload them (the website is in the first post). Love you all.
Those professional pictures of Cami are amazing! It is good to know Olivia is not alone in the chubby baby club! Your girls are so beautiful! Can't wait to see you again!
