Wordless Wednesday

I love this little girl.

1st Steps!

Arianna finally did it! She took 3 steps, we're so excited! She has been standing for about a month but she just didn't have the courage to *go* but she did it! I don't know who was more excited Cam or me! That little guy loves his "baby girl" so much it melts my heart!

We're in trouble now. I think Arianna is going to be into everything!

Arianna's 1yr Well Visit

Today was Arianna's well visit. It's a little late since Dr. Doug is still out on a medical leave. The visit was very uneventful! I only had questions about her belly button, if you've seen it you know why! The NP said that it usually sticks out the most the first year of life and it should start to go in a little. There didn't seem to be any hernia behind it, which was my concern. She got the first round of her flu shot and one other shot...pneumococal maybe? She was a trooper, she's a lot tougher than her big brother!

Weight: 20lbs (28th %tile)
Height: 28.75" (32nd %tile)
Head: 47cm (...97th %tile! Where did this big head come from??)

New Words: None still. The NP said as long as she understands we're fine. We went through the same thing with Cam so we get it.

New Foods: She's on all table food and has not met a food she doesn't like! This girl can eat! She seriously eats more than Cam!

Teeth: She has 5 teeth with 2 more coming in.

Her next visit is in 3mths when I'll have to decide about the MMR.

Apple Picking!

Today we took the kids apple picking. We didn't go last year since Arianna was brand new so this was Cam's 2nd time and Arianna's 1st! The last time Cam ate more apples than he picked but this year he was on a mission! We filled 2 bags in 20 minutes! The variety selection wasn't that great but I guess that is because of all the rain we had. Today was the first time Arianna had eaten a whole apple. She loved it! We're looking forward to next year...

Wordless Wednesday: Ari's New Trick

Arianna's Birthday Bash!

We had a perfect day for Arianna's party. There was no rain, wind, or anything like we had on Cam's 1st birthday. Just lots of sugar and a few surprises thrown in! Thank you to everyone who came we're so glad you could take part in our special day!

Cam's 1st Day of Pre-School

My little boy is all grown up! Today was his first day of pre-school. He has been waiting for this day for weeks. Cam didn't sleep very well last night but I don't think it's because of school. He hasn't slept through the night in over a week. When he woke up this morning all he could talk about was going to school and making new friends. Today was the first time he asked if "Aba", Elijah and Landon would be there (how cute!) and I had to explain to him that they wouldn't be there but he'd meet some new friends.

When we got to school the director was there and she remembered him but he was so shy! We walked down to his classroom and found his "cubby" which was labeled Cameron B. Yep there's another Cameron in school. We met his teacher, Miss Bridget, and she gave him a name tag. Each day when the kids come in they have to find the parrot that has their name on it and put it in the tree so the teacher can see who is here. After we did that he ran over to all the helmets. This was another thing he couldn't wait for. There were lots of different dress up helmets and of course he went for the big police one. We stayed for a few minutes then left. Cam did awesome!

Pick up went just as well. All the parents wait in the lobby until the director gives the ok to head down to the classroom. We were waiting and Cam didn't come out! After about a minute his teacher brought him out. The first thing he said was "I don't want to go home!" SUCCESS!! He wouldn't really tell us what he did but he had paint on his shirt and shoe so I'm assuming they painted. Oh he did tell us he fell on his bum! We took him to lunch at his favorite place but he was all over the place. Hopefully he'll settle in soon!

On Thursday the kids will be making "Me Bags." Cam has to bring in 3 items that are his favorite to show the other kids and the teacher more about him. Hmmmm, what should he bring...
