Camryn turns ONE!

Camryn Aurora turned ONE years old on August 25th.  It was kind of bitter sweet if I'm being completely honest.  She is my last baby and turning one just really meant to me that I would never again have a tiny infant.  At her birthday Camryn was still unable to walk and preferred crawling with one leg straight out to the side and the other knee on the ground.  She uses the extended leg as sort of a paddle to propel her self across the floor.  In a way it was kind of nice that she hadn't begun to walk yet because I get to enjoy the totally dependent baby phase for just a little longer while I adjust to the idea of my baby turning one.  (as I write this Camryn is a little over 13 months now and although she can now walk she still prefers to crawl.)



A couple hours after Birth

One years old

The week before her party my good friend Charlee did a little photo shoot and took some beautiful pictures.  Cammy isn't a real smiley baby.  She is very curious and cautious, prefers to study things before really opening up.  I think that these pictures capture her personality perfectly.    Sweet, quiet, loving, innocent, purity, wonder, and happiness, that's my Cammy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On her birthday, we had little backyard dinner party with friends to celebrate. She was really digging into the cake until frosting started getting all over her legs and then she started crying.  I really think that she was just overwhelmed by all of the people crowded around her taking photos and cheering her on.  Ashlynne was designated the party photographer and she took photos with her camera BUT like the responsible teenager that she is she has misplaced the cord to download the pictures so they are trapped on an SD card for now.  I did take a couple with my phone so for now that's what we have...

 

6 months....

Camryn Aurora is 6 months old today! She is such a joy and a pleasure. She has started to babble a lot lately. She can sit up by herself and loves to play with ther toes or eat them.  She has started to put herself to sleep in her crib at night with minimal tears but still wakes up at least once a night to nurse. She likes to be on her belly or rolling around. She can pretty much get what she wants by dragging, pulling and rolling to it. She pushes up on her arms and scoots backwards but she has yet brought her legs up into crawl position. She is teething and I can see one teeny tiny bottom tooth just waiting to pop up. It still hasn't yet but I'm sure it'll get it's own post when it does. She's eager to eat but just hasn't gotten the hang of not thrusting her tongue forward and pushing all of the food out of her mouth. She started eating bananas but it made her belly hurt a bit so I'm waiting a few days to try and introduce something else. She is 28 1/2 inches long but still holding at around 15 1/2 pounds. She is going to be a tall, skinny girl I guess. She fits our family perfect and I'm so glad that she is all mine.

5 months old...

Camryn Aurora is 5 months old today!  It makes me so sad because it is just going too fast.  I love her so much...like seriously I want to smother her with kisses all day long she is that adorable.  At her last dr. appointment about a week ago she was 27 inches long and weighed 15 lbs. 6 ozs.  She loves to be on her belly and scooting around all over the place.  She mostly does a series of scoots backward and rolls to get where she wants.  Luckily, she isn't trying to travel all over the house yet, she's keeps it to a pretty limited area.  I love her giggles and her smiles.  She's learned to control the music on the mobile hanging from her crib which gives me a couple of extra quiet minutes in the morning while she entertains herself. I swear last night she said MUM....she did....I know she did. How could she not?? She LOVES me.  I'm definitely her favorite and she might be mine!  :)

Happy 5 months pretty baby!!

The day my baby turned 2 months old...

Let's hop in our time machines and go back a couple of months when the baby was about to be two months old. She was exactly 8 weeks but I don't remember what she weighed or how long she was and I'm kicking myself for not writing it down. I've gotten so relaxed with each baby and I always think I'm going to remember things and I don't. But hey I got some cute pictures sooooo....
