Brrr . . . 9 Months

Weight: 16.2 pounds

Height: We will find out at her next Dr's appt.

So it has officially been cold and snowy this past week. Dad was really excited to take Camryn sledding. We had to buy a flying saucer from Target. Unfortunately, the sled has only carried mom down the icy driveway once. It is just too cold for babycakes.

Over this past month, Camryn learned to say "dada." Which incidentally is now her favorite baby babble. Much to mom's chagrin she has little interest in producing the bilabial "mm" though she is quite apt at blowing raspberries especially with food in her mouth. Also, she mastered cross crawling (opposite hand opposite leg). Due to her mastery at cross-crawling she is now less interested in walking. (I really thought she would be walking soon).

Cam crawls all over the house and is fascinated with the "boing" of the door stops and opening and closing doors.

Mom and dad spent today and yesterday trying to stay on top of all of the blowing snow to little avail. Finally, a call to the city of Bettendorf sent a plow truck out 3 hours later so we could actually escape our cul de sac (2 others were stuck). The snow was 4 feet deep at certain parts. Fear crossed my mind several times as with most plowing we would end up with at least a 2 foot wide pile of snow at the end of our driveway. Well, this tow truck driver was superb and actually plowed the end of our driveway for us.

Too bad Cam isn't old enough to enjoy our great king of the hill at the end of our driveway.
