18 Months

Camille turned 18 months old yesterday, really? I got this idea from another blog, but I'm going to list 18 things about her for her 18 month post.

1. She loves watching Signing Time! She has learned so many new signs lately from this show...it's amazing! Shoe is her favorite!

2. She loves her babies! She rocks, pats, burps and feeds them. She even loves real babies also...but she DOESN'T like me to hold them! Sorry, Coley!

3. Strawberry milk is her favorite drink!

4. She is absolutely fearless! She'll walk down a slide with no fear!

5. Her new favorite song is BaBa. It's on a praise CD we have in the car and it's the verse Isaiah 53:6. At the end it says, "Huh!" and Camille joins in...it's adorable! This is the first time she has ever shown favoritism in a song.

6. Her hair is getting so long! It's almost ready for a cute ponytail! She has also gotten a lot better at keeping bows in her hair!

7. Her favorite book right now is We're Going on a Bear Hunt. She has gotten really good at sitting and listening to a story (especially if it is prolonging naptime). With the bear hunt, she likes to skip to the "tiptoe" page right before we find the bear.

8. She can tell you what a cow, pig, horse, sheep, and cat say. I'm trying to get this on video! The pig is too cute...she doesn't say oink, oink. She scrunches her nose and snorts!

9. She loves playing chase and hide-and-seek! This is the usual game when daddy comes home or Aunt B is around! Sometimes she'll just go sit in our closet, lights off, and wait for us to come find her.

10. For her 18 months check-up (on Friday) we are going back to her original dr from the hospital. We stayed with her through Camille's 6 month visit and are now going back...we've missed her! It's a little bit of a drive...but she's worth it!

11. She loves jewelry and make-up! She'll find anything she can to turn into a necklace. She sit up on my counter sometimes while I put on my make-up and she's figured out the blush thing. She also loves putting on lipgloss and lotion!

12. Nothing beats going outside! If she's ever fussy, take her outside! She loves her cars, bubbles and wagon. I'm looking for a fun sand/water table for her...any ideas?

13. She still screams when I lay her down for a nap. It isn't very long...but it sure is sad to hear!

14. She loves holding money. She gets to put money in the jars at church on Sunday and now she loves carrying it around the house as well.

15. She goes back and forth on being a mommy/daddy's girl. It usually depends on what time of day it is or what we have.

16. She loves doggies! She'll hear them bark outside and stop what she's doing and say, "goggies!".

17. I love to tickle her! She gets so tickled and laughs so hard!

18. She has begun saying "amen" at the end of our prayers.

Earlier this week, Bubbie and Poppa came to town for a few days. Camille loved all the attention and loving she got from them. She also loved watching their 3 dogs play in our backyard! Bubbie took Camille to our little park and she called to say, "You didn't tell me this girl is fearless!". She went to the very top and began walking down the slide, then falling forward and sliding down on her belly...laughing the whole way! She almost gave Bubbie a heart attack! They didn't stay out long.

Today when we drove up Camille said, "Bubbie?". Then she went straight to the back door and looked for the doggies saying, "where go?".

Then, last night we thought Camille would enjoy her first bubble bath! As you can tell in this picture...she didn't! She didn't like getting bubbles on her and not being able to ge them off. She never would sit in them! Funny little girl!
