Summer Fun

Clayton's last day of work is tomorrow! YEAH! We are so excited about having daddy around to join in on all the summer fun! His contract year is longer than classroom teachers, so he has to stay around a little longer and go back a little earlier than us...bummer! Camille enjoys getting the pillows layed out and laying back with daddy to watch a good show...probably Barney or Mickey!
Meanwhile, Camille and I have been having a lot of fun lately just the two of us during the day! We have been trying to keep ourselves busy so we don't get bored around the house and we have been successful! The first goal of the summer was to knock out Camille's morning nap. As long as we were out and about and doing something out of the ordinary, we have been successful at that as well. Yesterday, she even slept for 2 1/2 hours! That is huge for us! She is usually awake after an hour (not very long)!

We have really enjoyed swimming alot! We have a pool in the backyard and we have definitely visited our community pool often! With her floaties on, she is Miss Independent! She loves just jumping off the edge (holding our hands) and going under. She also loves just floating and attempting to doggy paddle her way around.

We had a couple of visitors last week that we were SUPER excited about! We met Miss Adelaide and caught up with her momma, Annalee! It was so much fun having them over to our house and being able to just sit and visit for several hours. Annalee is a super talented woman, great momma and wonderful friend! Camille had a hard time sharing her bumbo and crib with Adelaide at first and couldn't understand why she couldn't run around with her in the backyard. When I told Camille to go get her shoes so she could go outside, she checked Adelaide's feet and made sure Annalee put her shoes on, too!

Here is what I caught her doing the other day when I turned my back from washing dishes. She is so independent right now and loves drinking out of a cup with no lid.

We have also been enjoying the zoo! Last Friday, we went with my mom, Aunt Sandy, and cousin Mallory. We had so much fun with them! We rode the train inside the zoo for the first time and even got a close up of the gorilla! We look forward to taking daddy on Monday.

We also had some friends over yesterday to play while their momma had a photoshoot. Camille LOVES P and E and had so much fun with them here! They enjoyed playing in the pool and singing...

Ring a Round the Rosey...

...And they all fall down!

Who's this cutie?
