she just did not want to have anything to do with that chair
Dear Camilla,
You've grown up so much this month; it's so fun to watch you grow and change, but it also kind of makes us sad too. It's all happening so quickly, and you are becoming more and more of a toddler every day. You are walking quite a bit now and getting really good at balancing. Today you walked the entire length of your room! One of your favorite games is to pick up this ball, drop it and let it roll, then walk over to pick it up...repeat.
You happily play in your room or in the downstairs jail several times a day. It looks exhausting...you are all over the place: walking, crawling, cruising...shaking, banging...squealing. You can get very loud at times with the happy squeals & raspberries or when you are yelling at the pets...also with the jabbering. You make the momma, dada, baba sounds...can't tell yet if you know what they mean. You will look around for the kitty when I ask you "where's buddy?". And about a week ago when I asked you that question, you repeated a "buh" sound (daddy looked horrified). Maybe your first word will be Buddy. ;)
Your favorite things this month include: swing time at the park, feeding yourself finger foods (whole wheat bagels, puffs, bananas), having mom or dad roll you back and forth on a big ball, walking behind your push toys, shaking your new shakers, blueberries, bottle time, reading the Peek-a-who? book, chasing Buddy, catching Buddy and pulling his hair, playing in the dog water bowl, ramming the dog water bowl with your walker, playing in the bath tub, Little Gym class
Your not-so-favorite things this month include: having your face wiped off after dinner, diaper changes (especially with a raw bottom), getting dressed after a bath, food that isn't heated up enough, being left in jail alone, cilantro, walks in the stroller (strangely there have been many meltdowns in the stroller lately), wearing sunglasses, riding in the car seat (ugh...we've come full circle), going back to sleep between 5-6am, having your feet on grass (you'd rather just feel the grass with your fingers and not get your feet in it)
Last night, we installed your new big girl car seat! It's a monster. We had you try it out in the driveway before we put it in the Jeep. You weren't as impressed with it as you were with your shoes.
Oh, Millie Bear...you have the silliest personality; this month has been the absolute best! I'm thankful you're sleeping through the night (well...at least until 5:30am) and that you're such a good eater...so thankful you are happy and fun to be around...so thankful you're in a good routine now and pretty easy to please....and of course, so thankful you're ours! We love you, sweet girl.
