8 Months

Camille turned 8 months on Saturday. Camille's 7th month was full of development. She began crawling and now can also stand up on everything. She has begun to let go but can only last a few seconds. She also has just started cruising around furniture. She is growing up way to fast!

Camille also got some more teeth. Her first tooth came during her sixth month but since then has been working hard on more. She has both bottom teeth. When you look at the top of her mouth you can see all four top teeth but the only one really broken through is the top left (not the center ones). We had to work hard for a picture at this is all we got.

Despite a a torture week when that tooth broke she is still her happy go lucky self. She is such a Daddy's girl and will crack up laughing when she hears Dave's voice.

Clawson babies can crawl normally....

So Camille officially started crawling today. She has been very close for about a week. This morning right after she woke up I took her downstairs and put her on the floor. Andrew had left out a deck of cards he got from Chuck-E-Cheese over the weekend and she just took off for them. Right now she only uses the crawling to get something she really really wants, which is mostly Andrew's toys. I guess he better learn to keep his toys off the ground. Here is a video of Camille crawling. Please ignore my annoying voice. It sounds even weirder than normal because I have a cold.



(A side note, we went to Chuck-E-Cheese this weekend to officially celebrate Andrew's being completely potty trained. He has been a pro without diapers for a couple weeks but we just got around to celebrating. The final answer to the problem, get rid of diapers for good. Once he didn't have the option he figured he had to learn how to use the potty.)


Here is a picture of me and the kids for my mom and dad, to prove that we are alive and well!

Article

Here is an article about Dave's new job and what they are doing for it. They had a big meeting and Dave got to meet governor Herbert. In the picture of the governor speaking Dave is all the way to the right behind the guy in the orange vest and hard hat. You have to look closely but you can tell it is him.

6 Months Old

Camille's half birthday was on Monday. I haven't done an "official" photo shoot with her yet but here is a recent picture I took. It is of Camille performing my favorite new trick. Most mothers just can't wait until their kid can smile. I get most excited about the reaching!!!

Camille is doing great. She has her doctor's appointment on Friday so that is when I will get the official stats. She is a great napper and okay night sleeper. She only wakes once at night but that is more than Andrew did but he was a horrible napper. She had a bad cough last week and an ear infection but she was a trooper through it all. She is the happiest baby I know. Yesterday we were at Itty Bitty ball watching Andrew and she has the tiniest whinny, like most Mom's wouldn't have noticed but I was freaking out because it is so unlike her. I finally figured out it was because I had a hat on and it was weirding her out! She is such a blessing in our lives and I am going to say it, I can't believe how fast time has flown. (I hear it just keeps getting faster as you have more kids! Scary!)

One more photo, taken by Andrew.

Family Home Evening

Last night Andrew decided to give the lesson for family home evening. He then commenced telling the story of Noah. He did a great job. It went something like this... Jesus told Noah to build a boat. (He then described the boat in length, I think he was describing the Fisher Price Noah's Ark that my sister has.) Then he put all the animals on it. The mommy giraffe, daddy giraffe, and baby giraffe. Plus the mommy zebra, daddy zebra, and baby zebra. Then it rained. The end!

Happy Belated Birthday

I just wanted to wish my hubby a happy birthday. I didn't get the post up yesterday because we had to do all our birthday fun. Out to lunch, homemade pizza and smoothies for dinner and rook with Grandma and Grandpa Tootsie! I love you Dave, you are the best!

The Berenstain Bears

Is it wrong that every time Andrew and I go to the library, which is once a week, I go check out a Berenstain Bear book for me?
