Two Year Old Checkup

Camille had her two year old checkup yesterday. The doctor was very happy with everything. She didn't go through a big growth spurt like last time, but is still moving up on her growth curve... so that is all that matters. She weighed 25.5 lbs, which puts her in the 30th percentile.... And she is 33inches tall, which is in the 45th percentile. They don't measure her head anymore, but I'm sure that would be pushing 100%! Her development is right on track, actually above average in every category! The doctor was very impressed with Camille's communication skills above all else.... I made sure to let her know that Camille could also count to ten and recite her ABC's... though Camille didn't want to put on a show at the time.

Camille had to get two shots at this visit. Hep A and the flu vaccine... She is big enough now to get the shots in her arms... poor girl... one in each! She told the nurse that gave the shots to "Go away!" I felt bad that she hurt the nurses feelings, but I'm sure she is used to that reaction. The nurse gave Camille a pinwheel again after her shots, but Camille wasn't interested. She pointed to the door and kept telling the nurse, "out, go away"... I couldn't help but laugh. She looked at me and said "Millie home." No subtle hints there. She was fine once she got back to school b/c she got to show her bandaids to her friends. She pointed to them and said "ouch!"

No more shots until she goes to kindergarden!!! (well, aside from the annual flu shot)

Happy 2nd Birthday Camille!

Hard to believe our little girl is 2. Well, she does display her moments of terrible 2 symptoms, and her vocabulary is increasing by the day, and she is in a big girl bed.... so maybe it isn't so hard to believe.

Camille had her birthday party on Saturday. We did a farm/barnyard theme since she is very into animals these days. We had a lot of fun celebrating with our family & friends.

She had the cutest, most creative birthday cake I have ever seen. The famous Aunt Martha put her creativity to the test again.... I think she is ready for Cake Wars.

Camille managed to blow out the candles and devour her entire cupcake in a few bites.

Great fun was had by all and we can't wait to see what happens with Camille as we surpass two and head toward 3!

Celebrating Martha!

Aunt Martha turned the big 5-0 last week (though she still looks 40) and Joe had a big throw down to celebrate. We feasted on lots of pork and pumpkin stew and all the fixins'! It was delicious, but most importantly, we got to spend time some good quality family time together. (Camille did amazing for the 3hr drive down.) Camille loved Aunt M's "50" glasses, so she sported them while making her funny face. Aunt M let her take them home so she is still wearing in continued celebration :)

While this doesn't even begin to reflect half of our family (yes, we travel deep), here are those of us that hung around until Sunday.

And there always has to be some funny faces.... Camille tried her best to participate too! :)
