Daddy's 34, Camryn's 8 months, and Mommy's Holding Strong at 29!

Last weekend was interesting to say the least! We woke up to thunder and lightening and decided that it wasn't smart to do the march of dimes walk. Then the skies cleared and we decided to do it. We got there and then the skies re-opened and we did the four mile walk in the rain! We had bought a rain cover for the stroller but it was junky and poor Camryn's legs still got wet and she cried the whole last mile! I read that the walk that we did hit their financial goal, so I felt good about that! We also had planned a little block party that we had to cancel so pretty much the weekend was a bust.

This weekend has been much better! Yesterday was Bert's birthday and we had a fun family day! We cashed in his free Provino's dinner, and it was delicious! Camryn was a good girl, and we let her have a bite of daddy's ice cream. We came home and put the baby to bed and listened to Michael Jackson and had some drinks! Bert skyped with Toby and they had some drinks together while both sitting at the own homes. Boy, how times have changed.

Camryn is about to hit the eight month mark tomorrow! She is growing before my eyes. Her hair is getting long and starting to curl! She sits around saying mamama and dadadada and lots of other blabbery words. She likes to sit in her pack and play and play with her toys. We have lowered her crib and she has pulled herself halfway up. Still not crawling forward, but she can get around if she wants something! As far as non babyfood items go, we have let her try grits (like), mashed potatoes (dislike???), and ice cream (like). She loves water out of her sippy cup. She is trying to feed herself her puffs, but she holds them and licks them and they get melty, sticky and gross. She can wave hi/bye-bye, but only does it when the mood strikes. When someone else is holding her and she's had enough she reaches for me, or when I go to pick her up out of the highchair or pack and play she holds her hands up in the air. Looking forward to more milestones. Maybe teeth?? :-)
