Park with Grandma

While Grandma was on duty, they went to the park on a very cold and windy day. Campbell wasn't fazed a bit.
She loves to look through these holes and yell "See!". Then you have to reach in and tickle her....it is a very complicated game.

Climbing like a big lady.

Grandma's visit

The 'rents went out of town and Grandma came to visit and stay with CamySue. This is breakfast their first morning. From what I understand, this was the last reasonable and meltdown-free meal for the rest of the time we were gone. I think Grandma got a run for her money, what with the teething, separation angst, and the terrible twos coming on, but they made it through the trip and seemed to have a good time.



Seriously? I may be biased but this kid is freakin' adorable.

Morning Mischief

Campbell likes her napmat from school and on the weekends likes to lay on it while she watches cartoons. Here are some pictures of her laying on her napmat AND doing her new favorite activity, taking off her clothes.

She doesn't like to have her clothes on while she eats (because they get dirty, we think) and she will randomly insist "OFF" and tug at her clothes when she feels the need to be naked. Silly baby.

Pigtails.

Campbell's first teacher this year would brush all the kids' hair and put it up in "tails". Campbell liked it, but I was not quite ready to start doing girl hair every morning. Well, Campbell now requests that I comb her hair and put it in tails. This is my personal favorite and we call it fraggle-tails because she reminds me of that character on Fraggle Rock. As a side note, we bought a Fraggle Rock DVD and Campbell LOVES it. Gives us a break from Dora, so we love it too.

Fall Party at Daycare

Nesting in the coop.Pecking around.

Campbell had a Fall Party on October 29th at her school. The kids were all in their costumes when we got there. I have to say that Campbell's costume was fantastic and, I think, was the only one that didn't start with a leotard (except for the little boy's costume). :-)

Last year I saw this costume at a Tag Sale for $2.00. It is an Old Navy costume that costs around $40.00....and I got it because it would be around the right size (and price) and because it looked machine washable and very hard to destroy. Campbell was the cutest chicken in the history of poultry. As soon as we got to the party, she wouldn't hang with the other kids. She wanted us to hold her and give her snacks....eventually she got back down and played some more but for a half hour she was attached to us like glue. Cute baby.

I have some cute ones on the camera phone too...because I left a bunch of work videos on the digital camera and hogged up all the space. Mother. Of. The. Year.

Balls at Target

Campbell loves Balls. We can't even say the word unless we intend to play with one immediately. So--these big concrete spheres outside of Target are a favorite. She likes to stand on them and then stomp and giggle. She points out the window of the car when we get to Target........and screams "BALL!". Very exciting times.

More Park Time.

Here she is...playing at the park. We are big into this because we can walk there, spend 20 minutes and then be home before she gets too tired. We go almost every weekend. Free. Close. Fun. Our favorites!
