Snapshot: Camille

***It's been so long sine I've had regular posts here on our blog and I really like to have a record of our family kept here, so I'm going to do a little snapshot of each of our kids and then of Keith and I.  These pictures are all from the past month or two.  We'll start with Camille.***

Camille is two and a half now and full of fun!  She's strong (at her 2 year checkup the doctor called her a "specimen" because she's all muscles!), and she's tall and looks and acts more like a three year old.  One of my favorite things about her is how she calls oatmeal "oat milk."

Lately she's been learning how to do this.  Oh, potty training, how I dread you!

She's becoming a little mommy to her babies and animals.

She's been having fun "painting" the playhouse.

Camille likes to gather up toys and take them around with her all day.

Some days she gets a nap and some days she refuses.  And if she gets too tired she either gets really crabby in the late afternoon or sacks out somewhere in the house.

She's been pretending to be a dog lately.

And she'll stick her hands out (like above) while saying, "Oooooooooooo...." and try to scare us.  It's pretty hilarious!

She's been really cute lately and our mother/daughter relationship has become really fun.

Often, when I'm feeding Tyler, she'll come in and plant herself somewhere in his room.  She likes to be where I am.

What would a trip to Costco be without visiting the giant bears?  She really gets a kick out of these guys!

She still loves the swings.  Especially when Keith is there to give her an underdog!

And she loves to run around with the boys on the playground.

Camille wants to go to school too and loves to wear her backpack around.

Playtime with her kitchen.

She plays with the toy tools a lot and likes to wear the safety goggles.

Silly girl in a box.

Silly girl in the baby jumper.

She has had two haircuts from Aunt Kristy so far, just to even things out.  It's fun that her hair is getting longer and we're starting to try new hair-do's.

Camille likes to tease Brett a lot.  And then Brett whines and screams.  It's all pretty obnoxious.  But here they are getting along and reading books in Tyler's crib.  It gives me hope!

Camille still loves her daddy, but can handle being away from him better than she could a year ago.  

She still loves to play with play-dough!

We love this fun girl!  She's sure full of personality and she makes our home a happier place (usually)!  :)
