Little Mechanic

Not only is Camryn gorgeous, she is mechanically inclined as well and doesn't shy away from a little hard work and a lot of grease! (Must take after her Dad)....

Colors and Crushed Ice

What more could a girl ask for? She suddenly looks like such a big girl... and she's going to seem even bigger when Bubba gets here!

August 2009 vs August 2010

Camryn is now 21 months old and I was curious to compare what she looked like this time last year... I had not realized how much she had grown up (and how much her looks have changed!) in the last 12 months! (sadly, she's even lost most of her michelin man arms...)

August 2009: (9 months old)


August 2010: (21 months old)

What will she look like in August 2011?

Children's Museum

We have taken Camryn to the Houston Children's Museum two times this summer and she has had a blast both times - runs from the minute we get there until we put her back in the stroller. I had heard that it was a great place and we were not disappointed. The first trip we made in July I forgot my camera, so I tried to make up for it this time. Also, we've noticed that almost every family is there has more than one kid (or they are like us - a toddler with another one on the way). Somehow, it makes me feel less crazy to see that!

The first few pictures are from the big kid areas - where she still has fun and just runs from each thing to the next. (and since I'm now quite round and slow - thanks to my growing belly - I just waddled behind Kevin and CC and tried to keep up! )

In the Tot Spot area, she has a BLAST. This is just for little kids and has all sorts of things for her to do. One of her favorites is the slide area - and it has this little peep hole where she can see Kevin underneath.

I thought the picture above was really cute until he took the camera with him under there and I could see what she was doing. Even though the flash is in the middle of the picture, it's still pretty funny. (I'm really obsessive about germs in these places, so this picture makes me want to cry a little - yes, her OPEN mouth, hands, and nose are pressed up against that plastic...)

There is also a tunnel to crawl through. She spent more time playing in the tunnel during our first trip to the museum and we figured out that when they do the tunnel at school, they are supposed to crawl to get back in line to go through. So, that's what she did the first couple of times - very funny to watch her crawl even outside of the tunnel. We told her it was ok to walk/run back and she just looked at me like I didn't know the rules!

Princess Camryn

At the end of July, Camryn was invited to my friend Allie's oldest daughter's Cinderella themed birthday party. She had a blast and even wore a crown with her name on it for a long time! (I can't get the girl to keep a tiny clip in her hair, but she liked wearing the crown - she called it a hat!) I waited until a few days ago to let her play with the goodie bag (saving it for a rainy day, so to speak). She got all decked out and loved wearing her tiara, ring, and bracelets and waving the wand...
