Went to story time today with Sharon and Becca. It was so cute, all the kids were wearing their Halloween costumes. Cammie went as a cheerleader (Ravens). There were so many cool costumes. Cammie sat with Sharon for the stories and didn't yell at her like she did the other day. Becca was Supergirl! Very cool! We checked out some books afterwards and then came home to entertain the dogs. Pudge is bored lately so he hasn't been on his best behavior so we played some Frisbee in the yard and he liked that.

Got a lot of stuff done around the house yesterday and the dogs were happy that Joe was home. It's rainy and cold and windy today so I think we'll be sticking close to home again today. I'm dreading winter coming because my back is already hurting more and the cold makes it worse. Ugh. Cammie's room is almost done, Joe just has to hang some pics and we need to get a rug and it's finished. She seems to like it. She had a good night last night and this morning she has been very cute and playful!

Yesterday was our anniversary. Joe thought we had been married 50 years already but it's only been 9. We spent the day taking a drive out to Carroll County. We visited Pop Fisher and Granny Franny and Cammie got to meet Fisher's daughter Jackie. Not sure what kind of impact Cammie made when she arrived with a very stinky diaper. Yikes! Then we stopped in to see Donna and Bill. When we got home the pups were excited to see us even though Melissa the petsitter had come and spent lots of quality time with them. Pudge is much happier now that he got a bath the other day and that Joe is off today. We're just doing stuff around the house today. Not too much exciting! Cammie is napping in her big girl crib for the first time. She looks so tiny in it! And anyone who has met her knows she is NOT tiny. My back will attest to that as well.

Not a bad day yesterday. Cammie was just a little fussy off and on but we had a pretty good day. She kept her bodily functions contained which I am grateful for. She had an ok night then hung out with Daddy this morning so I could run some errands. Now she is babbling away ready to party!

Princess puke a lot struck again yesterday. I must have changed clothes four or five times for each of us. No matter what bodily fluid Cammie chooses to expel all over you she always rewards you with a big gummy smile. Ugh. She was ready to party again last night. She didn't want to stay asleep and then she woke up at about 3 raring to go. The two of us can not get on the same sleep schedule. The nights she sleeps all night I have insomnia but the nights I'm so tired I could cry she is ready to party. I think it's a plot. I also think sometimes she is just nosy and doesn't want to miss anything. Today we have been hanging out and playing. She is so funny sometimes, she'll get this really excited expression on her face and start babbling like she has something really important to tell you. I promise I'll add some new pics in the next day or so, I've heard there has been some complaints!!!! :o)

Yesterday my sweet little bunny pooed all over me. YUCK!! Then she laughed at me. I think she does it on purpose. Today we went to Target and she stayed awake the whole time and was interested in lots of toys and clothes. So of course even though it wasn't on the list I did get her a thing or two. I only went for diapers and formula I swear. Pop Fisher stopped by yesterday to see Cammie and she got to snuggle with him for a bit. She was very happy to see him but now wants to see Granny Franny!!!

Well yesterday I remembered to dress Cammie in her Ravens cheerleader outfit for the game and it worked! They won! Her and Joe watched the game and both fell asleep, they were so cute! Not much of an eventful day just did stuff around the house. But it's a good day when there are no violent vomit eruptions!

Saturday the 18th

Cammie and I went visiting today. We went to see her Mommom and Poppop. They were very glad to see her. We went to lunch and hung out and Cammie chatted them up and smiled and was generally adorable! On the way home we stopped to see my friend Debbie for a quick visit. I don't get to see her nearly as much as I want to. She has the cutest puppy named Harley. I'll post a picture soon. Debbie cuddled Cammie and she fell asleep. When we got home Joe had finished working on the steps so we had dinner and hung out!

Friday the 17th

The projectile puker struck again. Cammie had a good day with Daddy while I ran some errands and went to a doctors appointment in Annapolis. Then in the evening while I was holding her and she was telling me all about her day she opened her mouth and pure evil gushed out all over my lap. UGH! I bravely resisted the urge to repay her favor. She only got splashed this time but Joe had to cut my shirt off, well it was his shirt. Ooopsy. Anyway she's fine and her cold is almost gone and we have just about recovered as well. Now if the nightmares would just stop! :o)

Cammie and I went to story time with Sharon and Becca. Cammie liked the dinosaur stories. She watched again and even put her two cents in at times. This afternoon we had to go see Dr. Dix's physician assistant Frank and she was the hit of the office. Sonja said it's because they don't see babies in there very often! But we all know it's because Cammie is just so darn cute and lovable!! All the ladies and even the patients near us got a smile from her.

She didn't like the applesauce too much today, maybe we'll try pears tomorrow!

Not much has been going on. Cammie has been sleeping through the night most nights again. She is still trying to sit up. Either that or she is getting an early start on her ab crunches. We are going to story time at the library today. She is napping now to prepare herself! She has an image to protect you know! We have to go across the bridge so I can go to the neurosurgeon's office this afternoon. Hopefully we won't be there forever. Other than that things are business as usual. All of us are recovering from our assorted illnesses and are looking forward to the weekend with Daddy!! (including the pups!)

Sunday we went to Meaghan and Rick's for dinner with Donna, Bill, Emily, Alice and Mike. Cammie got passed around and slept for a while. She was a little fussy because she wasn't feeling well. Yesterday I woke up sick so Cammie and Joe spent the day together. Today she is feeling better but still not quite 100% (and neither am I). We have been hanging out and watched a movie, now she is napping. She did eat some applesauce and rice this morning and did much better than with just plain rice cereal. The dogs are little irked that we aren't doing much today but it's nice enough again to leave the door open so they can go in and out so that makes them happy. Not much else to report!

Last night Joe and I had a date night with Chris and Julie. We went to the Melting Pot for dinner. YUM! and then we went to the new Target that opened up in Annapolis. We're back to that fast paced lifestyle! We roamed around and picked up some odds and ends that everyone needed. Julie asked me if I ever thought I would be out on a date with my husband for dinner and end up shopping at Target afterwards. Ashley babysat Cammie for us along with Kristin and her friend Sam and Ashley's boyfriend. They said Cammie was good for them and we didn't get any calls from them until we were on our way home. She was smiley when we left and smiley when we got home! Poor Cammie definitely has a cold though, she is still coughing and sneezing and now she is snotty too. We put her in the bouncy seat to sleep last night so she wouldn't be flat on her back and she seemed to sleep much better. Poor little cutie!!

Yesterday was so nice out, we went to the playground with Olivia and Eva. Cammie watched Eva play and then fell asleep for about five minutes. Then she yelled at me on the way home. Once we were home she resumed yelling and screaming for about 45 minutes, then exhausted she fell asleep for about ten minutes. Still not sure what the problem was, she even cried real tears again. I promised to buy her lots of toys and clothes if she would stop but she is not bribeable (yet). I think she wasn't feeling well, she stayed up late again last night and then got up around 1am and was sneezing and coughing. No fever but she sounds sniffly, if that's a word. Now she is sleeping peacefully in her chair in the office with her bear blankie from Granny Franny. The picture of innocence!

It was hard getting Cammie to sleep last night. She didn't take an afternoon nap and was raring to go all evening. She finally crashed at about 930. I guess she wanted to watch Survivor too (which I am just not really into this season, enough already!). The plus was that she slept all night. The minus was I couldn't sleep, I woke up about 130 and stayed awake until 6 or so and then laid back down, Cammie (and the dogs, bless them!) let me nap until about 9. Such a life of luxury. If you are really envious of my a-list lifestyle just know that when she took her 15 minute catnap around 12 I pooper scooped the dog poo in the backyard. Don't hate me because I'm fabulous!! :o) I tried spoon feeding the diva in training again and she did ok. The rice cereal is really disgusting looking and smelling. I can't imagine having to gag it down. Yuck. Cammie is also trying to sit up by herself and doing a good job of it. Although if you help her when she is on your lap she'll often do a face plant into your stomach. I think it's funny. It's gorgeous out, we may go for a walk, don't tell the dogs......

Last night wasn't too bad, Cammie got up at 130 to eat and then slept til about 7 or so. We went to story time at the library with Sharon and Becca and then for a walk on the trail. (Don't tell the dogs). Cammie really likes story time. She watched the librarian again while she read books about elephants and then she watched the kids dance. She also spit up on me but I like to think that was because she was so happy to be there. Sharon's friend commented on how alert Cammie was for her age so obviously everyone can see how gifted she is. :o) Ha ha Today is hereby known as toss your cookies thursday. I tried telling Cammie that's being gross not gifted but she doesn't seem to care. She's not the one that has to clean it up.

Last night Cammie spent some time at Meaghan and Rick's house. Apparently she had such a good time that she peed all over them! At least it wasn't poo. We picked her up around 9 and she slept all the way home and then woke up around 1030, ate and then slept til about 730 this morning. Yay!! She ate again, played and then took a nap. What a sweetheart!

Much Better Night!

My prayers were answered last night! Cammie fell asleep around 730 and she woke up a couple of times but went right back to sleep until.... wait for it.... 5am. Yes, that's right!! It gets better, she drank her bottle, chatted with me for a bit and then went, dare I say it, BACK TO SLEEP!! Until 8. She really does love me!!! After another bottle and a trip out to the bus stop to say good morning to Cassidy and Mr. Chris, she watched tv and fell asleep again at about 10. I'm sure she will wake up shortly but right now I don't care!

What happened to my perfect baby that would sleep through the night??!!! Last night was better but she is back in full party animal mode. Sooo all you lovely people who offered to babysit.. feel free to give us a call between 10p and 7a we would love to take you up on your generous offer! :o) Yesterday Cammie and Daddy got some quality cuddle time and watched the Ravens game. The Ravens lost though and I think it was my fault because I forgot to put Cammie in her cheerleader outfit. I'm sure they would have won then! Other than that not much went on yesterday except getting stuff done around the house. More plans for that today!

Not a good couple of days! Thursday night Cammie was up almost all night and just catnapped through the day friday. Sharon and Ken came to my rescue again by having us over for dinner and then keeping my social butterfly company while I took a shower. I was sure that after a long night and day that Cammie would sleep well last night but she didn't either. We were going to go watch Becca play soccer and then go to a fall festival with Alice but I was too exhausted and my stomach and back were (and still are) killing me. Sooo we just hung out and watched tv today. Although even with all the direct tv channels there still was nothing on. Joe is coming home tonight. YAY! That will make all of us, including the dogs happy. Pudge is quite pouty that his daddy is gone.

Not much has been going on this week until today I guess. We went to storytime at the library this morning with Sharon and Becca. There were a lot of kids there! Cammie was watching the librarian read two stories about bears and she also watched when the kids did a couple of little dances and then the hokey pokey. It was really nice! Obviously she was too little to do the craft which was to make a bear puppet out of a paper bag but we had fun. Then Alice came over and we did a little shopping. Got some more Tinkerbell wall stickers for Cammie's room. I think I'm addicted to those things, not just Tinkerbell but I love the way you can peel them off and move them around. Much nicer than trying to hang those stupid pasted borders. Joe left to go to a fishing tournament in Ocean City this weekend. He won't be home until Sunday. Yikes!! Hopefully I will be able to keep my sanity intact. Stay tuned....
