10 Months Old

Camille turned 10 months old on Friday. This year has been flying by. She had a great week in her new class at school with Mrs. Kathy and Mrs. Anna. She even got extra good remarks on her activity sheet including some stickers :)

We had a busy weekend planned for our big 10 month old..... but she got an unwelcomed visitor- THE STOMACH BUG! Camille woke up in the middle of the night on Friday b/c she had gotten sick. Not a fun thing to clean up- I'm talking pj's, sheets, lovie, bumpers, carpet...... and this happened 3 more times! Needless to say the washing machine was kept occupied all weekend. And this unwelcomed visitor decided to visit mommy too :( So while Camille was slowly improving, I was getting worse. What a pitiful pair! Luckily, Mimi came on Sunday to help Nick out and let me get some rest. This was a violent bug, but passed rather quickly. Turns out, her friend Madelyn at school had it on Friday afternoon, so we knew where it came from. Sunday was a lazy day for us all and I think Mimi enjoyed Camille's extra cuddliness and napping.

We are almost back to normal, though I kept her home today just in case.... we aren't quite 100% yet.

I did manage to take a picture of her on Friday doing her favorite thing these days- pulling up on anything and everything.... especially the drawers.

Princess Camille

Well, we have always thought that Camille was our lil princess, but now she has a throne! :) On Sunday, Nick and his dad moved a old piece of furniture that was Nick's grandfather's to our house. It is a beautiful piece and it reminds us of royalty. We decided that Camille should have some pictures taken on her new throne :)

Camille has had a great week in her new class so far. She even showed Nick & I a new trick last night- getting herself from her crawling position to sitting up! That is big for us! She wouldn't do it a second time, but at least we know she knows how :)

If you can tell in the photos, she has this new "pose" for taking pictures. She tucks her chin in and asks like she has a double chin... very funny!

Labor Day Weekend in Charleston, SC

Camille made her 2nd trip to Charleston this past weekend. We were actually staying at the Wild Dunes Resort in Isle of Palms with our friends Stephen & Laura and their two precious girls Ashlyn and Hannah. We had a great time and were glad that Hurricane Earl decided to be friendly to the SC coast :) We arrived late on Wednesday night and got to enjoy several days of great weather!

Earl only messed up one of our adventures..... We had tickets for a boat tour to Fort Sumter and after we had sunscreened up and loaded on the boat, they announced that due to the rough current the trip would be cancelled. Bummer!! On Friday, the guys played golf while Laura & I took the girls to the pool. Camille had quite the time splashing in the water and quickly decided that attempting to drink it would be fun too. We also ventured out to the beach for a photo session :) Most of those pics are courtesy of Laura Price. By the end of our photo session, all 3 girls were covered from head to toe (literally) in sand! What a mess!

Since the water was so rough b/c of Earl, and because Camille was obsessed with eating sand, we stuck to the pool on Saturday. The pool had this giant beach chair that we all took pictures in. We then met up with the Allen's & Kohler's at Boone Farm Farmers Market for a delicious lunch and tour of Fort Moultrie. Fort Moultrie had some great views of the coastline = more family photos!! :)

Camille enjoyed playing with Ashlyn and Hannah- constant entertainment! Ashlyn did have a fall that took her to the ER, but thankfully no stitches needed- just glue! While we stayed back with Hannah, we took some pictures of the two of them playing so sweetly :)

Camille seemed a little disappointed coming home.... I think she was wondering where her lil friends were :) We finished out our holiday with a dinner visit from Jeannine & Mimi. I have a feeling the attention overload for Camille might make her a little cranky today at daycare :)

On a side note, Camille will move from her Wee Ones class to the Angels class at school starting next week. I know she will miss Mrs. Ruth, but Mrs. Kathy is already ready for her!
