Camila is a year old this weekend.
Wow! What a difference a year makes!!
First of all, a year ago I looked like this: round, round, round!
Then this: happy, happy, happy!
Camila has gone from this: barely moving...
to this: barely standing still...
Some highlights from her first year
in May at 4 months old, starting to play together.
Napping together in June. (I love this picture!)
In July she learned to sit up unsupported and got to enjoy things like playing in the sand box, swings, two-handed toys! woo-hoo!! And by the time we went to Cranberry Lake she was able to crawl and play in the sand, but still spent lots of time in the Bjorn and being carried. She was sporting a funny scrunch-face-snorty-grin that cracked us all up!
by September, & about 7 months she was scooting around, enjoying her new skills and bursting with personality, and hasn't stopped blossoming!
She's playful, cheerful, clever, affectionate and expressive. She is currently working hard on learning to talk. She has some sign language and that helps immensely, but she's trying very hard to make spoken words, too. A big learning process with lots of reward!
We wish you could be here to celebrate the completion of her first year, but I am grateful that you visit us here and have watched her grow!
