A Month Away From 1 Yrs Old!

Cameron had a busy month with Halloween and Thanksgiving! We decided her costume should be a ladybug to go along with her 1st Birthday theme. She is our little love bug, so it seemed fitting :) Grandma and Grandpa Scott graciously bought her costume. This year we had a family birthday/Halloween party to celebrate Grandma Scott and two nephews birthdays. Baby girl got so much love from family and friends and she was the life of the party for sure! She stayed awake the whole time, and finally zonked out on the way home. The next day we went to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm to pick out some pumpkins with our little pumpkin. It was a beautiful sunny day and baby girl was on her best behavior thank goodness. Here are a few pics:

Baby girl had a wonderful first Thanksgiving and was her usual social butterfly self! I love that I can pass her off from one family member to the other and it doesn't phase her. She definitely has never had separation anxiety. She also seems to do much better in group settings than one on one. I think she just loves observing everything going on around her and she gets much more attention of course! Here are some Turkey Day pics including one of her passed out at 7pm on daddy!

This month her fourth tooth started to come in, but she wasn't nearly as fussy thank goodness! She keeps getting longer, so we had to go out and by 12 month PJ's because the others were too short! She finally reached 18 lbs, so she is our itty bitty long and lean girl. She finally uttered "ma ma" and "da da" which of course made us very happy :) It is interesting how one day she prefers ma ma and others da da. She reaches out for the other parent and picks and chooses depending on her mood. She is definitely outspoken and if she doesn't like something she will let you know...whether it be flailing her arms or belting out a scream. She is all over the place crawling, but prefers to stand up against furniture and be a big girl. We have a good routine down and she is able to play a lot longer independently which we love! She is having a blast playing with Caty and Hanna at daycare, and we feel so lucky that she has a second home she adores! Jaime is so good with her and sends me pictures daily of her fun! She loves exploring and getting into anything and everything! She crawls along floor and puts everything in her mouth, so we have to clean constantly! Her favorite things are drawers with goodies inside and laundry baskets...and book baskets too :)
