Camryn and Harry's duet....















What a busy few days we've had...over the weekend we saw Val, Major, Avery and Krici for lunch. The next day we cheered on the Sooners to their big victory. We spent some time with Summer, Wendi and Todd and finished up our time in OKC with Nana and Papa. Of course we played with Bams (Grams) and Aunt BB every day we were there!

We also had Arts and Crafts day with Harry and Hadley. We spent the day making Thanksgiving decorations, Christmas ornaments and Christmas cookies. We finished our day off with a trip to McDonald's for lunch and playground time! Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!

One month







I took Cassidy to the doctor today and she weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs. 12 oz! Glad to know we finally got her off the starvation diet I started her on! The doctor was very pleased with her progress and assured me a chunky cheeked baby was a good thing- Camryn was over six months by the time she finally made the height/weight chart so this is all new territory for us!

Thanks to our friend Cindy Donaldson, Cassidy now has her own special hat and blanket. Although it's not really cold yet, we - Camryn too- had to try them out! We hope everyone has a really great week! Check back again soon..we have a play date with Val, Major and Baby Avery Avery Baby (as Camryn likes to call her)...Aunt BB will be flying in on Thursday too so we should have lots of pictures to post.

She's DEFINETLY a turkey!


So I am sitting in the living room feeding Cassidy- Camryn was in her room taking a nap, or so I thought! All of a sudden I hear this voice singing, "I poo pooed in the pottyyyy- yeah!" As I walked down the hall I was thinking- ok, what am I going to find?

Since we started working on potty training I added a potty chair to Camryn's room. She's one of those kids who won't take time to go to the bathroom because she is too busy! Having a chair in her room has come in handy- and it did again today. When I got to her room I saw she had taken off her socks, her jeans and she had thrown her diaper down the hall. She had sat herself on her potty and pooped! When I realized what she had done and told her how proud I was she immediately told me she needed an M&M. Now, I am not one to reward a behavior with a bribe but this is one momma who does not want two in diapers for ever! I proudly gave her two of the mini sized m&m's. Here's hoping for continued success from my little turkey.

Thanks Robyn!







Camryn loves her new "ribbit towel" from David and Robyn Keller! She is so proud it says her name. For those of you who don't know or might not remember, Harrison Keller is one of Camryn's very first boyfriends! He is a little over a month older than Cam and was in the NICU the same time she was...Pictured here they are in gymnastics together.

Our little piggy

Attempt to share a video

Here's our first attempt at sharing a video of Camryn...you may not be able to understand her but she is singing C- A- M-- R- Y- N, Camryn, Camryn, Camryn. This is a silly little song we made up when she was a baby. We sang it to her to teach her about her name.
Jeff thinks she looks like Laura Ingels Wilder in her nightgown. She loves to wear it because it matches her baby dolls jammies. Please ignore her crazy hair, I promise we fix it in the morning before we go anywhere!

Birth of a new site...












Along with the birth of our precious little one, we have decided to make a new effort for a family blog. Right now life is crazy busy but we wouldn't change a single thing!

Camryn is in the midst of potty
training and loves to tell you she is "hiding" when she needs to poop. She is in gymnastics two times a week and is learning how to listen and sit still at the same time. Most often the two don't go hand in hand..Here's hoping one day she will figure it out! Until then I will be the proud momma peering in with embarrassment as my kid runs wild.
Cassidy has to be one of the best babies EVER! She only cries when she is hungry or dirty. She is working on her smile and seems to be more alert every day. We go to the doctor for her one month check up in a week and a half. It will be exciting to see how much she weighs. One of the pictures posted is of her and her best friend, Hadley Kate. Hadley is three weeks older than Cassidy and is the little sister to Camryn's best buddy, Harry Hromas.
