Camille gains control of her hands?

Today Camille took her "wickle" (our word for pacifier) out of her mouth and put it back in - all on her own. Could she be gaining total control of her hands? Well, as I was making my last blog entry about how much fun we have with Camille and how happy she is, blah...blah...blah, she was yelling at her exersaucer because she was mad at these little hearts on it that flip back and forth. She couldn't quite get the hang of it, and she was letting them have it! She may have a little more work to do.

Fun Things To Do With Camille

My baby Camilley-mille is so much fun. In addition to the "no-no-no-no-no" mentioned in my last post, I have a list of awe-inspiring feats Camille has mastered. Before I list those, however, I wanted to note that I think Camille started the "no" thing because Ainsley and I always rub noses with her and say "NOSES!" Anyway...

She is very ticklish on her feet - since she was born! Squeezing her lamb-choppy legs in the creases of her rolls gets a huge reaction. Of course, she's still working hard on "roly-poly-oly". She loves to play peekies. And she's discovered her feet. She's started to hold onto them on a regular basis. Let's not forget the raspberry game. This is where I tell her, "I'ma gonna getsi!" and raspberry the neck or belly. Also called the "uh-oh" game where Ainsley says, "uh-oh!" and raspberries or tickles her.

She laughs a lot when we play with her. I had to attach the picture in case you wanted proof of this.

Camille discovers "NO" and I discover "MOO"

My daughter is singing to me right now. Or is she having a discussion with the ceiling? She finds something very intriguing up there. She looks at the ceiling and shakes her head. Then I say "no no no no no, Camille!" And she laughs then shakes her head back and forth fast. Daddy started it. I know he's reading this, and he's going to want his "props". So now I like to say, "Tell Daddy, 'no no no no no, Camille!'" Ha ha. A little joke between me and Frank. So it will always be "no no no no no, Daddy" and "yes yes yes yes yes, Mommy" right? Yeah, right! Don't worry, I have no illusions - I have an 11-year-old.

I also have to add that Camille has rolls on top of her rolls. I am still breastfeeding her exclusively so I guess I should have no worries with my milk supply. We have an event to attend for Ainsley's school this weekend so I tried to pump yesterday and today and came out kind of dry. This makes me know that I need to drink lots more water. I used a double breast pump. I imagine this is how they milk cows. I hope I don't start spontaneously MOO-ing!
