So tired.

Sleepy-eyes with Aunty Cha Cha.

This is the face that we get when Campbell is really tired and really not having anymore of our nonsense.

Campbell's passion for gardening.

We have talked and talked about Campbell's love of "sorting things". Well, now that goes for flower pots and the soil that goes along with it. These are priceless. Just to clarify, I don't think she actually ate any of the potting soil, but she did manage to get dirt all over everything.

Campbell the crab.

Campbell was a major crab walker....seriously, she would toddle and then fall onto all fours and tear out when she really wanted to get somewhere fast. Here are some shots of her in action at our friends house.

Watch OUT! Here I come.

"Sharing with Drew"....

Leaving the scene of the crime.

St. Patricks Day in Baton Rouge

Tired on the way to the parade.....resting up for the fun.

We visited with some friends in Baton Rouge and timed it so that our trip coincided with a visit form some other grad school friends as well as St. Patty's Day weekend (parade!). So--Campbell had her first big trip with other kids and parade time and a big crawfish boil and the whole nine yards. She was the belle of the ball and our friends' 19 month old seriously inspired her to start walking and then running. We came back home with a full blown toddler.

Infant Cognition Lab

Campbell is a study participant at the Infant Cognition Lab at A&M. She has been participating for her whole first year. This is the first experiment where she had to choose something based on my responses.....it was pretty cool. These action shots were taken by the experimenter working with us..

This is mine. I am keeping this.

Yummy--this nasty pre-chewed cardboard is delectable.

Shark Towel.

This one is for the grandparents, really. Every night, after bath time, Kyle gets Campbell dressed and ready for bed. This usually starts with a little "Shark Towel Time". Kyle insisted on registering for this shark towel before we had Campbell and it has given us endless hours of fun.

Reading--February 2010

Campbell loves books. I mean LOVES books. In February, she started going into her room (crabwalking, of course) and then pulling out all her books, forming a pile, and sorting the books by her own personal filing system. Mostly that is just her looking at each book and throwing it over her shoulder. Here are some pictures we snapped while she was doing her "thang".
