6 Months!

Camille turned 6 months old last Saturday.  My how the time flies!  At her doctor's appointment, her doctor wanted to know about her development and asked me, "So tell me what Camille can do.  Brag about her."  Umm I sort of drew a blank.  "She can roll over?"  Old news.  What can she do?  After coming up with a few I went home thinking about it and created a mental "brag list".  Here's a few I came up with:

• Loves to roll all over the floor as well as her crib--you never know where she will end up in her crib when you get her up from a nap
• Loves to play with her toys, especially new ones or "toys" such as dishes, mom's sewing things, plastic bags, toothbrushes....
• Can reach for and grab most anything, and of course it goes straight in her mouth.
• Working on sitting up by herself.  She can do pretty good for a few minutes unless she tries to get something
• Loves to smile and coo at the "baby in the mirror"
• Wiggles all the time; likes to kick her feet when she is happy or excited
• Loves to eat, especially peas and her liquid multivitamin
• Giggles for Daddy the most
• Learning how to clap
• Loves to be outside
• Loves when we sing to her.  Her favorites song that will always make her smile no matter what is "How Much is That Doggy in the Window".  Random....I think she likes the barking :)

Camille's stats this time:

•  weight:  13 lbs, 14 oz  20th percentile
•  length:   26 inches  75th percentile

I already had a chat with her--if she is going to be a tall, skinny, gorgeous supermodel, she still has to dress modestly.  :)   I'm just glad it looks like she will be a little taller than her short Mama.  Still no teeth, although I'm checking every day.  I think she's teething, but who really knows?!  Mom and Dad can't wait for teeth of course! ;)  Camille has chilled out and is generally a very content baby, happy to help me with cleaning or projects as long as she is right there with me.  She has had a few times of "stranger anxiety".  It's so weird the first time it happens.  I think she looks more like Nick every day (with my eyes I hope?) and we love her more and more each day.  Can't believe it....we all made it 6 months! :)

I posted my favorite pictures from the photoshoot I tried to have.  I decided a few things:

1) I need a new camera!
2) It definitely helps to have someone else to help!
3)  I want to take a beginning photography class sometime.

After 15 minutes of trying to get Camille to smile or at least look at me, I called the Sessions for their help.  Thanks for coming guys!  Hope you enjoy my attempts at some "professional" looking shots!
