2/3 of a year...

Campbell celebrated her 8 month birthday yesterday. It's so hard to believe that in 4 months she'll be a year old! We've had so much fun with her recently...

She tried applesauce for the first time today. At first she wasn't so sure about it, but after a few bites she was fussing if I didn't get it in her mouth fast enough. This is the first food that I haven't made, but the website I love about making baby food (wholesomebabyfood.com) says that since ready-made natural, organic, unsweetened applesauce is very available and inexpensive, that it's one food to buy rather than make. I will post later about making our own baby food. It's actually kind of fun and cheap! This week I'll be making organic sweet potatoes and peas. Check out the videos of applesauce:


Campbell loves to stand as you can see in this picture. Isn't she cute in her first pair of "real" big-girl jeans and new shoes? We had to get her some shoes for a couple of reasons: she loves to pull her socks off and she loves to stand up. We joke that she'll walk before she crawls since she really doesn't like "tummy time".


Campbell really loves to "help" her daddy work. Some of you know that Robbie is working on his doctorate in educational leadership and Campbell sometimes helps him write his papers. She is about as good a speller as he is, so it's good for both of them. :)


She's been laughing and squealing with excitement so much recently. It's been so neat to watch her develop and start to enjoy new things. This video is of her laughing when I was playing with her this afternoon...so sweet!

I can't believe how much she has grown. She looks so big! And she sounds just like Anna when she laughs. It's the best sound in the world. Good growing Campbell! By the way, I was glad to see your Dad at school the other day. :)

I'm so excited that she's eating real food and enjoying it so much. Really love the giggles - she's just way too cute! Love, Nana/Mom
