Campbell is 3!

This little girl turned 3 July 23rd, but we began celebrating a little early!

We saw Pops and Nams the weekend before her birthday, and they surprised her with a Tinkerbell watch a little early.

The Friday before her birthday, I took her to the nail salon to get her fingers and toes painted.

She was so cute and of course chose purple polish with a pink flower on each big toe.

It was so much fun and something I'm afraid she'll want to do more often. ;)

We took cupcakes to dinner with Peete, Bethany, Cru, and Presly Friday night and Campbell wore sponge curlers for the first time before we left for dinner.

Every little girl has to wear pink sponge curlers, right?! :)

Campbell had been saying for months that she wanted a Hello Kitty birthday so Friday night after she went to bed, I decorated the kitchen with Hello Kitty stuff.

We got her a Hello Kitty bike and princess helmet.

We made a Hello Kitty cake together on Friday. It turned out really cute!

She was surprised by her bike Saturday morning!

She obviously picked out her frog jammy top with monkey jammy pants herself.

She also opened another little dress she had picked out from us.

She rode her bike in a circle around the living room all day.

We're going to have a joint birthday party for Campbell and Cannon with friends and family in Oklahoma in August, so she didn't have a big party on her birthday. All she wanted to do was go to Build-A-Bear with her two best little friends that she goes to preschool and dance with.

They made Hello Kitty dolls. Campbell is stuffing her Hello Kitty.

Pushing the pedal to fill it with stuffing.

Isabella's Hello Kitty is all stuffed.

Makayla and her mom, Heather.

Cannon just hanging out in the stroller.

Warming the hearts that will go inside their dolls.

Rubbing their brains to make it smart.

Bathing their dolls.

She decided on a Tinkerbell Hello Kitty doll. What more could you ask for?

3 little sweeties.

All done.

The Build-A-Bear staff sang their birthday song.

The girls had to take a ride on the carousel.

We had some lunch and she opened her presents from her friends and called it a day.

Her Hello Kitty balloons at the house.

Saturday evening after Cannon had gone to bed, Campbell, Kevin, and I had the sweetest little time singing her happy birthday and eating some of the cake we had made. She was so precious.

Love this girl more than words.

Happy 3rd Birthday our precious girl!!! xoxoxo

Cannonball !!!

Cannon has turned into such a big boy!!! He is almost one and is SO much fun!!!

We had a hard time for a while getting him to drink from a sippy cup or eat more table food. He just loved his bottles. He is finally starting to eat better and loves water in his sippy cup. He LOVES nilla wafers and goes crazy if he even sees the box. He also likes waffles, apples, cheerios, apple jacks, crackers, and all kinds of baby food. We'll work on getting some more fruits, veggies, and protein on that list. :)

He only did the army crawl where he drags his body behind him on his tummy for the longest, but he has finally started crawling on his hands and knees from time to time. He can stand alone for a couple seconds at a time too.

He doesn't say many words yet, but he can definitely communicate what he wants through pointing and sounds. We think he does say "Momma" and "ba-ba"

Campbell has a pony that sings a song and you ride on and Cannon loves it. If we sing the song that the pony sings, he'll point to it and make some kind of sound that means he wants to ride it. :) He also always points to these polka dots on the wall that he likes to touch, and he always wants to grab this lamb that is in Campbell's room and then he throws it to the ground really hard every time. Just some funny little things that he does right now.

He is still very attached to Kevin and I and doesn't want to go to anyone else. He is especially loving his daddy right now and wants to go to him anytime he sees him.

He likes wrestling around with Kevin and climbing on his back. He also loves to stand up and play at the Dora play kitchen. He'll take the sink out and open and close the doors to the fridge and oven and push the buttons. He also likes to play with Campbell's Little People Dollhouse. I guess we need to get the kid some more boy toys. ;)

He still takes 2 naps a day on most days and sleeps about 10-12 hours a night.

He has 8 teeth.

We love you Cannonball!

4th of July Fun

Our fourth of July weekend started off with a trip to the Frisco Aquatic Center. It is like a mini waterpark, and Campbell had so much fun! Cannon had to try on Kevin's hat while we waited in line.

Campbell was ready for some fun in the sun!

We then headed to Stigler where we got to see grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course my mom, dad, brother, sister, and nephew. (poor Dillon was working hard at home) We enjoyed swimming and talking (mostly about Casey Anthony and the Bachelorette), golf for the guys, and a shrimp boil. We had a great time getting to see all of our family!

Aiden checking out Mr. Duck.

Miss Marley Rose :)

Campbell playing a little song on the harmonica. Isn't that what you do in the country? ;)

Tiny Tapper

Old McDonalds

Campbell created her own little McDonalds drive through. She actually calls it "Old McDonalds"

Dance

Campbell started her first dance class this summer. It is a tap and ballet class and she is going with her two favorite little girls from her preschool, Isabella and Makayla. We have to watch them dance through a tiny window, but hopefully I can get some pictures of them during the actual class.

Just a Little Morning Playtime

I love babies in jammies!
