What a Mover - 6 months old

There is definitely a resemblance between their sixth month pictures. It looks like cam may have weighed a little more but the baby books disagree.

Yep we decided to keep Mom and Dad on their toes and started crawling way before Cam ever thought about it (at least that is how it feels)

From Evan Cam definitely loves her little brother. But now she thinks he is her personal baby doll. She feels she can pick him up and place him in her doll's stroller or her doll's carseat or even her bed. We have been lucky so far and caught all of these baby stealing attempts and helped. We are just waiting for the day that Evan is dropped on his head. At least will be able to tell him to blame his big sister for his problem and not his parents. We were definitely surprised by how soon Evan decided to crawl. He was scooting around at 5 1/2 months and really this week put together the reciprocal hand-leg crawling pattern. Evan refuses to sleep through the night and refuses to eat cereal. He does love chewing on anything and everything. He will gum a piece of crusty bread to death as well as cooked carrots and raw apples. He tried sweet potato, applesauce and pears. I just don't think he is ready to take anything off of a spoon. He better soon otherwise he definitely will be a peanut with all the crawling he is doing. Cam continues to do well. Her vocabulary and imagination continue to amaze us. Actually, the most amazing thing is her memory. She recalls breaking her leg last year. You definitely cannot tell her something with the hope that she will NOT remember it tomorrow.

Cam's 3rd Birthday

Thanks to everyone who made it out to celebrate with us. We missed those who could not attend for various reasons. Cam enjoyed herself and passed out by 8ish. For some reason our camera did not like the new CF we placed in it so the pictures only came out from the 2nd half of the party.

Here is a picture from her second birthday.

From 2nd birthday And from her first birthday.

From Party She sure has changed a lot. But the personality remains the same. An initial hesitancy and no one is going to tell her what to do. Thank you to everyone for your help and support. Love ya.

5 months Down

From Evan At least 13 pounds and 23 inches or so But full of personality In this short amount of time Evan can roll front-back and back-front. He likes scooting while on his back (sorta like a reverse inch worm). But probably his greatest accomplishment is his grip. Camryn has lost gobs of hair; I swear there are times I can let go and he would still hold on to me. My day isn't complete unless I feel like Evan mauled me at least once.

From Camryn's 1st year Camryn at 5 months old

We have been super busy. Scott and I went to Italy at the end of January. He earned the trip through work for being the 2nd chemistry sales rep in the nation for Siemens. We had a fantastic time. Grandma Julie, Grandpa Tracy and Aunt Amy watched Evan and Cam for us. I wasn't worried about how Cam and Evan would do but more concerned Grandma and Grandpa would be dealing with early wake up calls, etc all over again. Everyone seemed to fair well and they even offered to do it again. (Unfortunately I don't think an all expense paid trip is in our future any time soon).

No we are coming to the grand finale of Uncle Brent's wedding on April 2nd.I am trying to have Cam practice her part of flower girl. Aunt Laura gave Cam her first introduction to being a flower girl in August so she has some experience.

From Evan Camryn decided that pajamas are the best. She prefers to wear them whenever possible and it can be a struggle  to get her to wear regular clothes. We entered the throes of her dressing herself and I find myself explaining that just wearing a tutu in 30 degree weather is not sufficient. She displays a fair amount of sibling rivalry. But she really does love him. I feel her jealousy is more related to splitting mommy time.
