Catching Up

Two Saturday's ago, we decided to get out of the house and drive up the coast to Encinitas since we had never been to the beach area there. We found a cute little outdoor cafe to eat lunch and headed towards the beach, only to come upon a huge beach festival. There was a big stage set up with a band playing, tons of vendors and food, and the beach was packed. We checked it out for a little while, but we hadn't planned on a full-out beach day. You can see a small part of the festival in the background below.

Campbell drinking her morning bottle in her comfy new chair.

Poor Kevin. Anytime he's at the table and gets on the computer, Campbell is begging to get in his lap within seconds. And he almost always kindly obliges!

She loves sitting on his lap trying to get her hands on the computer.

Crawling around under the highchair as usual.

She's playing with two different tubes of teething gel. Silly girl.

We snack on apples a lot and Campbell has decided she likes apples too. She likes to take her own bite but always gets huge chunks. Here she settled for Kevin giving her a piece.

Taking a huge bite.

Campbell was getting into the 4th of July spirit waving the American flag.

Little cheeser! I tried putting her hair in a little ponytail.

Actually, TWO ponytails!

Trying to get in daddy's lap again!

11 Months Old

Campbell turned 11 months old this week. She is standing up by herself and learning new things every day. She loves playing with her little fridge farm and listending to Farmer Tad.

She gets lots of good practice walking with her little stroller from Aunt Lauren. It has been the best thing to help her with her walking.

She pushes that little stroller as far as she can and then turns around and goes back the other way.

This little chair is an early birthday present. She seems to really like it.

Weekly Wrap-Up

This girl does NOT sit still for long, so the fact that she allowed me to put a bunch of her little toys all over her while she laid on her back watching t.v. was miraculous!!!

"No big deal. Just watchin' t.v. with the letter D on my forehead."

We had a little playdate at the park with some of our friends on Tuesday.

Campbell's new game is to wrap herself up in our curtains while spinning around on her little bottom.

Just look at this precious little reflection in the doggy mirror in front of Campbell's carseat. Head back-mouth WIDE open! Kevin has sent me MANY picture texts of myself sleeping just like this in the passenger seat during a long car ride.

Lots of Pictures with Dad

The only time Campbell gets dressed up during the week is usually for church, even though our church is very casual. Here she is in her cute little outfit before church.

Practicing walking
Took these pics outside the other day. Campbell's new buddy, "Monkey", got in on the photo shoot. I think Campbell looks so much like Kevin in these pics. She LOVES her daddy!

We made another trip back to Palm Desert this week. Campbell was fascinated by the waterfalls and fountains at the pool.

We made a quick trip to the fair on Saturday to let Campbell ride a few rides....

and divulge in a little fair food. RIDICULOUS!

We had a few tickets left to use up so someone got to ride the slide. :)

Big Messes and Bathtime

Campbell LOVES to pull everything out of bags, boxes, baskets, drawers, cabinets, and anything else she can get her hands on. On this particular day, we were in her bedroom and she was going to town!!!

She had just begun her mission to empty all of the toys out of the hamper.
Here she's taking all of the burp cloths out of the basket and putting them into her little trashcan.

On to other things.......Campbell graduated to the big bathtub from the duckie tub about two months ago. She loves bath time SOOOOOO much!!!
