Busy Bees

The good news is that the Childers household is all healthy again and we couldn't be more thrilled. It sure was a long week running back and forth to the pediatrician trying to get Miss Campbell back to her normal happy self.

Campbell is back to normal and I swear she is getting smarter by the day. We have been having so much fun with her lately and I feel like she is such a little lady. The things she says honestly surprises us and her sentences are getting longer and longer. She has gotten into a phase now where she wants Mommy to do everything for her. Austin gives her a bath every night that he is not traveling and her response for the last week regarding her bath has been "No Daddy, I want Mommy to do it." I know it's just a phase and it will pass quickly.

I also told Austin I wanted to start asking her daily what her favorite thing is about that particular day. When I questioned her tonight her answer was simply God, what an answer, true and perfect answer. I also asked her how did she get to be so smart and her response was I read. I'm sure that is part of the reason she is so smart, ha ha. Every night we say our prayers with Campbell  before we put her to bed and I guess I need to change up the beginning of our prayer because she knows my line. I said "Dear God, thank you for" and she promptly responded with "our many blessings." Whenever we pray for individuals she likes to make sure she prays for not only Gigi numerous times but now she throws in that she wants to pray for Donna.

I was also looking back and realized I have not really done a Campbell update since her half birthday. So at 21 1/2 months it seemed time for an update.

I am guessing you are around 26 to 27 pounds and about 33 inches tall.

You are wearing 18-24 months clothes, size 5 shoe, and size 4 diapers.

At last count you had 14 teeth.

Your language skills are still stellar. We were talking about Ho Ho earlier today and Campbell told me that she went to the mall to see Ho Ho with Mommy and Gigi. I asked her if she sat on his lap and what she asked him for, her response was presents.

You are a Mommy's girl but I know your first love is Gigi.

You know that saying please and thank you get you everywhere with Mommy and usually Daddy.

You love to tease your Daddy and tell him "I teasing". You love to make people laugh and smile.

Your favorite song is Happy and you know it. I cannot tell you how many times every day I sing and Campbell loves it!

Favorite books : Frosty the snowman, The Night Before Christmas, Mommy Hugs, Daddy Hugs, and anything read by Gigi or Mommy

Favorite foods: apples, bananas, milk, blueberries, ham, cheese, crackers, raisins, cereal, and Mommy's breakfast shakes. Your appetite is kind of hit or miss. 

Love using the ipad and iphone. You amaze me with how well you can use electronics.

Love playing outside when the weather allows. 

You know how much Mommy loves coffee and you know how to work the Keurig. You love to put in the coffee pod, shut the top and push the brew button obviously supervised.

Prepare for the picture dump of sorts from the last few weeks:

Just a little bathroom reading

We love you so very much sweet girl and I thank God for giving me you every day. You are a huge blessing and we are so lucky to be your parents.

Love you to the moon and back,

Mommy
