Camille and Cousins

I have been trying to give Camille some freedom and allowing her to do more things on her own. This is the first time I handed over the yogurt and spoon. I don't like the messy eating so I'm right there wiping her face when it gets too bad. She did really well and loved every minute of it. I have also been giving her a cup of water with no lid to drink out of on ocassion. She loves this idea until she ends up soaking wet. She has really been enjoying her new playhouse from Nana and Grandad. She loves ringing the doorbell and playing peek-a-boo throught the windows. She has a deal about door and windows. They must be shut at all times! One day Clayton and crawled inside the house with her and I decided to join them...it was tight! I had forgotten to shut the door and Camille crawled all over me just to get to the door and shut it. So funny!
She has also become a great helper at watering my flowers. I am HORRIBLE with plants! I have some potted plants on our back porch that Camille loves to water. She also enjoys watering the porch.
This past weekend we went to Austin and had SO much fun! We stayed with Adrian, Lisa and their kiddos at their new house! It makes me want to redecorate my house. On Friday night we all put our kids to bed and stayed up talking like we were in college again. Too bad Camille woke up at 6:15am the next morning and was in the same room as us...no hiding from her! On Saturday we went to Nathan and Delana's house and celebrated Ian's 3rd birthday. It was so much fun to have all the cousins together and it was a beautiful day! Look at that awesome cake Delana made!
On Sunday, we all went to Schlitterbahn for Nathan's birthday. We debated about going, but were SO glad we did! Camille just loved every minute of it and did great the whole time there. She wore this green life jacket and it threw off her balance some. We had to make sure she didn't go face down in the water. She was hesitant to go up any stairs or ladder but she loved the slides once we got her there. She was so exhausted that we were just sure she would sleep on the way home! That girl must have been overly stimulated bc she didn't sleep the entire way home! It was an adventure and a first for us...she has always slept so well in the car! She was so tired Monday morning when we had to wake her up. Today Mylie came over to play in our backyard. They are so cute together! This was the best picture I could get of them today. They enjoyed splashing in the little pool, riding in the cars, playing in the playhouse, drawing with chalk and even some Pop Ice! Camille was so ready for her nap towards the end which explains this pouty face. I can't wait to see these two grow up together!

Pool fun!

With the nice weather, I pulled out Camille's little pool from last summer. She loved splashing in it! The water was still pretty cold so she wouldn't sit all the way down in it, but she sure did enjoy splashing all over the place!

In this picture, she is leaning over to get her hair wet. It was too cute!
