Camilla's Habits




  • cupping her right hand and waving it in the air

  • being stingy with her hugs--I miss the cuddly days. She is just too busy for such things most times.

  • saying ba-ha, ba-ha, over and over

  • crawling excitedly to meet Daddy when he comes home from work. If she happens to be upstairs, we hear an excited squeal and slow progress to make her way downstairs.

  • if she wants to talk with you and you turn your head away, she adjusts her position to put her face back in your line of vision.

  • taking pacifiers away from other babies (she doesn't use one)

  • likes being in swimming water, but can't stand the bathtub

  • she cries when you put her to bed-night or nap, doesn't matter-but she's happy as a lark when she gets up and will stay in her crib talking for about 20 mins before she starts wondering why no one has gotten her out
  • she won't sleep anywhere but in her crib. The only exception is sometimes during 3rd hour of church when Daddy is holding her, she'll collapse for 15 mins (it doesn't work when Mommy holds her 3rd hour, though--why is that?!!?)
  • she goes right to the blanket in her crib when she's tired. she loves to snuggle with it at least. she has to lay down with them by her face. I've been somewhat freaked out about this but she always sleeps with her head to the side.

I'm sure I've missed some of the things I've noticed lately but at least it's a partial list


Happy Birthday Camilla!




I couldn't let the week pass without officially tracking our little girl/baby's progress. From month 11 to 12 we've seen lots of changes.
She can now officially:
climb down the stairs consistently on her own (backwards)
walk 5 steps without assistance before falling down
drink from any type of sippy cup
stand for whatever period of time she so desires without assistance
climb onto the kids' picnic table--not something we've encouraged!
stand from a sitting position without anything to lean on for support
Update: 10 days after her birthday she was cruisin' around the rooms and walking up a storm. Whew, it can happen fast!
