Motherhood is Messy!

Last week I fed Camille, burped her, and put her on the floor for a little tummy time while I went in the kitchen to clean up a little. Just seconds later I heard Camille sneeze a few times, which she does after spitting up sometimes. I went back in to check on her and found this:



Camille had spitup ALL over her entire face....even stringing on her eyelashes every time she blinked. I have NO idea how she managed this explosion of grossness, but somehow she found a way. I was so shocked at how gross but funny she looked, that all I could do was laugh. When I started laughing, Camille just looked at me and smiled back. I might be an awful mother, but she looked too funny to pass up a photo op. Poor baby! Don't worry I cleaned her up after. Like I said, motherhood is a messy job, but somebody's got to do it! :)

Our life lately

We took Camille to her first apple orchard complete with pumpkins, animals, mazes, and apple cider donuts! (Unfortunately we were the mean parents and did not let her partake of the latter)

Camille and I have loved hanging out with each other each and every day. We try not to be too lazy and get things done, but we also love to sing and play lots.


She loves to relax
and take lots of pictures,




but sometimes enough is enough!

Most of all she loves when her daddy comes home!



And mom LOVES dressing her in tiny jeans! :)

First Bottle

Nick gave Camille her first bottle a few weeks ago and I had to document it. She did great!

Camille's sleeping aerobics

This girl cracks me up. I always come in to find her sleeping a new way.

Drama queen


Those fingers always find a way out!

My personal favorite...

Stamp my passport please!

Camille has been quite the little traveler! Last weekend before my mom left, we decided to visit her sister and kids (my cousins!) in Nebraska. I haven't seen some of them in over 10 years so it was great to catch up. Camille has now been to Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska...besides being born in Wisconsin. She slept pretty much the whole drive there. Here she is ready for her first girl's weekend!

Camille got to bundle up when she woke up to her first morning of snow!


We made some delicious caramel apples

My second cousins?? I am not sure....they are my cousin's children.

Ready for the trip home

Mom helped put up some Halloween decorations the weekend before. I suggested she wear the vampire cape while doing so, and she obliged.

And last, the merits of a good baby sling. Works like a charm every time.
